   Chrome tried that "configuration switch" before, and what happened was malware would find and flip that switch as one of the first things it did once installed. Then it would work like it used to (installing bullshit extensions, w

   It's not disk size that we care about, it's memory size. Reducing the space that the "parsed" code takes up in memory will reduce the amount of memory used by the engine.

   The specifics of this are a bit outside my knowledge area, so take this with a few major grains of salt. But basically V8 has tools built in that will decide when the cost of compiling is worth the possible benefit. So the AJAX submission j

   The TL;DR: is that non-hot code will run slower (it looks like about 1.5 to 2 times slower) with the benefit of reducing the code-space to about 25% of it's current size. (saving any memory usage that would have been used by that) &quo

   How does relicensing work? If I'm the writer of a GPL'd piece of software can I just decide to make it MIT one day? What happens if I die tomorrow, could that code still be relicensed eventually? What happens when there is no clea

   While not for code, Google Docs does this well enough that I've written things while a friend literally fixes typos, starts on the next paragraph, and sometimes edits the same line i'm on. At least it's possible...

   I have a machine with 6 1TB HDDs and a 512GB SSD, why do I care? As long as it's not so big it becomes inconvenient to download it (IMO in the 10+GB range) I simply don't care about it's size, it doesn't effect me at all

   While Google Contributor is a great first step (currently i'm using it with a $7 a month contribution), it doesn't really help that much. It only applies to adsense, and they already have pretty strict rules on ads that make them

   If it can do everything the user wants then what is the issue? Just because it's been done before it's the wrong answer?

    I hate the HTML5Test (and alternative) sites with a passion for the exact reason you say. HTML5Test lists iOS 8 as having IndexedDB support but it's so broken it's unusable on that platform. Even Mozilla completely disabled it in

    I don't know of the specifics on this one, but in the UI/UX world it's rarely a good idea to "support both". They generally lead to bad looking UIs that "almost" work for everyone, but aren't a good f

    Awesome, I'll remember this. It still pisses me off that they named it that. It's just going to lead to a bunch of annoyance and confusion. IMO something One related would have been nicer, but I'm sure they know what they are

    It's not page load, its the actual application running. It does some fairly heavy image manipulation in web workers using typed arrays. The app loads a little faster in IE (the code comes in just under 1mb), but the runtime of my few t

    I meant to refer to their Edge browser (the latest one on the Windows 10 preview). I guess i just have a tendency to throw IE on the front of it. (and i've also been referring to it along with the other IE versions as IE). So the 23 wa

    I sincerely hope they NEVER use another engine. Diversity is our friend, and having multiple engines all on similar terms means that bugs won't end up as "correct" and it helps push everyone forward.

    It all depends on your workload. I'm working on a web app that uses typed arrays heavily. Chrome runs my test case in 2.7 seconds, Firefox in 3.2, and IE Edge in 23 seconds... (ie 11 in 30+) Now to be fair i developed "for" f

    Sadly yes. While it's not really as horrible as many people (myself included) have said, the problem is their release cycle, and iOS's lock in. One a year means that it will probably be 2 years before any new features are "st

    I'm sure as hell not married to the idea of WebRTC, but i desperately want something like it. The ability to do peer-to-peer communication from the browser is an amazing tool. It allows the creation of client-side-only web apps which c

    It's one thing to be the first to implement standards, it's another to completely ignore them for years. The "Chrome Experiments" was a way to show off the WebGL capability in chrome that no other browsers had at the tim

    Do you have any other suggestions? Hosting these repos on donated/personal machines is (IMO) significantly less likely to stand the test of time. At least with a commercial entity there is a bit more "trust" involved that the

    I've been using atom for several months now, and i've never had a file take 30 seconds to open.. Granted all my devices use SSDs, but still for me it's been like 10 seconds at the worst, and currently it opens in like 3-4 (an

    I thought you were taking about RAM memory, not storage memory. Also, the Facebook app (on my Android device at least) is 40.36MB... But accounting for assets, multi-language translations, functionality, and the fact that it contains a bunc

    To be completely fair, most of the Chrome ES6 features are disabled via command line flag for now. When they are ready (and stable) they will all be enabled at once, and the vast majority of people will get the update within a few weeks at

    It was my understanding that it wasn't that those things weren't "not supported" but that the drivers will no longer be included with the base install. Stuff like off-the-wall scsi drivers, or floppy drivers, or serial p

    But even that won't help much. If you are using "off the shelf" software, then that means i have something to scan for, and a vulnerability in the software means that i have tons of targets. Most of which won't be as sec

    Ideally websites only store the hash, but you have no way of verifying which websites are actually doing that (and if they are doing it right).
