You know. I have DDG setup as my default search engine, but I find that I use "!g" way too often.

It's not really about working everywhere. It's about providing the existing browser vendors their own parser, and reference implementation to help promote implementation. It's a small well constrained subset of what they already have. And

Are you arguing that given such, I have more than 63 bits for the number, or do you just have a problem with the usage of the words "sign flag"?

by Arelius 14y ago
> 64 bits is 64 bits he said, right... well yes That's the problem right there. 64 bits is not always 64 bits. While a 64 bit int gives you a 64 bit number (Actually a 63 bit number and a 1 bit sign flag). An IEEE double precision fl

Exactly. A link to NASA or the like would hardly help any sort of promotion. People enjoying this game immediately get the value of space exploration. And revenues on this scale would make little significant difference to any significant pr

There is just so many holes in his comparison that even if it's broadly a good point. It's lost in the details. His whole argument depends on the comparison between Javascript and generally "Assembly" but as he argues against the label "Web

Well if the deal pusher was worth his weight in gold, and let's say he's about 150 lbs 150 lbs * 14 oz/lb * $1,500/oz = $3,150,000 Yeah, I'd say that whomever pushed the deal through may be worth $3mil

Though, statistically, if you push the "the great filter" closer to our present condition, don't you actually push the bulk of the probable filter events to before our present condition, events which are evidently not true in our case, and

I love the serious response to a comment posed as a joke due to the poor capitalization of the original title. So much so that I feel on the fence about even pointing it out.

Agreed. As an interviewer, I'm constantly disappointed with the skills of CS grads. Many years in industry show me that if there is anything to be learned about programming in college, it in a field other than CS. Now, that's not strictly t

Indeed the ecosystem and support around source maps isn't super easy in total, but I wouldn't call any particular point in isolation particularly difficult. It's just that there is quite a few of them.

That seems like a very good and practical reason to me. As far as I could tell, Wayland is very much tied to KMS, and not interested in doing otherwise.

I'm not sure I would say that JS source maps are a hard problem to solve.

I love using search interactive to navigate text. But however, getting the point to the right spot after that still feels cumbersome, in particular, moving to the beginning of the matched word doesn't seem easy.

I understand that a new layout engine could be an order of magnitude more work, but I'd like to be optimistic. The problem I see, is when we start talking about projects that require 100+ men at 5+ years of work, on a project that in partic
