A side channel attack in WebGL similar to Spectre/Meltdown is probably not possible, simply because you don't know when stuff is going to be rendered and how long it takes. You tell the GPU "do this computation" and if i

I see. Then don't go "full ES6" but I prefer exporting an object with the class for reasons I've explained in a comment above. But I do see ES6 modules in the wild, some of them I'm using with other languages. So I

Because having a mix of libraries/modules which some export defaults and some don't makes it cumbersome to require them here and there: I have to remember which was exported as default and which had the class inside. Also it makes

I think it means they're tricks for better performance when you _don't_ have speculative execution.

If it doesn't exist already, there should be a "standard spawn stub" that, in absence of spawn it creates a new spawner process at the very beginning of an application start up, so when you do spawn, the spawner process is th

The argument is not that "it's unfair to compare". The argument is that everything else being roughly equal, people prefer to wait for the Tesla because of its style.

So they're betting that it's the hardware of the future. And not something like the Mill CPU, which has been in development for much longer and it seems it will be able to execute all the millions pieces of existing software, fast

I don't see how NN would slow down breaking monopolies. The cost of complying with NN for new ISPs is negligible. And what do you mean by government "controlling" the internet? What are they deciding, exactly? As far as I kno

The reason for the existence of copyright is that authors can receive compensation for their work, to incentivize creation in a new world where copying costs almost nothing ("why would I work writing a book when anybody with a press ca

Maybe because it combines the functionality of Babel and UglifyJS (and maybe others) while being faster than all. (I don't really know, I haven't tried it)

Wouldn't it be better to just deploy asm.js alongside wasm? Emscripten can easily generate both, and a simple check can select which script to load. if(window.WebAssembly != null){ loadScript('script.wasm.js');

Sadly? I'd say fortunately it's no longer a fad, but only fans of the language (like me) use it.

What I said... It's not a new idea, but it didn't made a genre back then. It was a very different internet world, too.

America needs to be able to create "virtual" ISPs with full and equal access to internet. Until then, the NN law is needed.
