Would you concede that there could be a security diff between JIT and not JIT?
All Gruber is arguing is:
1) that there is a significant difference in security
2) that Apple didn't release any JIT for webkit all this time [edit: since 2008] because of security concerns
3) that Apple did not go out of its way to remove JIT from those instances of webkit that occurr outside of Mobile Safari
4) that perhaps Apple is simply rolling it out gradually
I don't see how any of this is ridiculous or could be called "bending over backwards" unless you are pre-loaded with a bias against Gruber.
There goes what little karma I earned since 2008.

- ra88it 16y agoAre you saying you are not able to concede my original statement: that JIT vs NOT JIT does [edit: meant to say "could" instead of "does"] constitute a significant security difference?

- tolmasky 16y agoYou should read my other comments on this thread. All of them basically start with "yes JIT may be less secure". That is not the argument I am making: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2338724 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2338724
