Would it be possible to have more intermediary mips levels, (for instance instead of {1, 0.5, 0.25} have {1, 0.75, 0.5, 0.375, 0.25}? How much would it help?

Out of curiosity, according to you at what point was Java considered C++ 2.0?

Don't publicly make fun of your customers... unless they are an anti-virus company. What boggles my mind is how they went on to ask MS for help fixing their obviously wrong vulnerability-and-crash-introducing software.

Kudos to whoever included it in the TI82's manual, it successfully tickled my curiosity when I was a kid in the 90s and played a part in me becoming a programmer. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/325928/Ti-Ti

Note that if the bonus is less than what the reviewers would gain from using the exploit, then they are not fully incentivised to be honest.

The downside to this technique is that wasm2c code is 50% slower, so (at least for now) process-isolation is still a win in some cases (when the overhead of process-isolation is small compared to the rest). Still, that's a very excitin

Additional ideas for Edge's PMs: silently corrupt Chrome's binary at download time, and mark the website and the binary as dangerous.

It would make decompression faster, and in practice it would also make the download smaller. The reason they were not minifying the JS is probably that at the time it made debugging and/or analysing stack traces easier.

For at least a decade, and in the teams I was in, C"++" written like this would not pass code review precisely because it is incredibly brittle.
