Oh, this is incredible! I've always wished I could have been a fly on the wall during this boondoggle. "Jaguar", mentioned early in this document, was a RISC platform based on the Motorola 88000, which was abandoned in favor

OOP's greatest crime is needlessly adding an I-thou dichotomy to the realm of programming languages. The "switching" or context sensitive properties of deictic pronoun referents is one of the last and most difficult linguisti

I suspect, given Apple's pivotal role in founding ARM holdings, that they have as close to carte blanche with respect to the ARM IP as one could imagine.

> The only reason Apple was allowed to do so in this case is likely 1) They negotiated it as part of their AAL (probably for a lot of money) Apple fronted the cash that created ARM holdings in the first place, so yes, they invested quite

I think `Object.prototype.then` would break every source file that uses `typeof o?.then === 'function'` as a check for PromiseLike behavior.

Interesting that there are 15*(2^47) unused values in this scheme in the range FFFF:xxx1:xxxx:xxxx - FFFF:xxxF:xxxx:xxxx. Could these be put to any practical use?

There's no cable that has lightning on both ends; the 5V configuration has USB-A on the power supply side. My point is just that that lightning connector isn't limited to 5V.

I'm pleased you enjoyed it. We can bandy words all we like, but it won't change the fact that we descend equally from mothers as well as fathers. By analogy, the fact that Kievan Rus' was founded by Vikings doesn't make

This article is a reasonable summary of the status quo in Linear A studies since 1956, but the reporter seemingly deliberately obfuscates the nature and scope of Dr. Ester Salgarella's new contribution. It appears to be the creation of

Not really. Opal is a source-to-source compiler that compiles Ruby to JavaScript. Ruby 3.2 compiles the whole Ruby VM and runtime to wasm, which then runs Ruby inside a real Ruby VM nested within the JS VM. A good analogy is that Opal is li
