Yeah, my thought there is make resolution of timers a dependent capability. My ultimate goal is to let users be able to say "no, $APP doesn't need more than second resolution of timers", and if the user is wrong the app just has to deal with it.
- lioeters 7y agoThat makes sense. In browsers there are already restrictions around audio/video autoplay, as an example, and an application needs logic around waiting for user permission. So I can imagine something similar, where the default timer could be coarse, and high-resolution timing would require elevated privileges. Anyway, thank you for the notes/slides about WebAssembly on the server, fascinating stuff with a bright future!
