At the time that change was proposed, the specification was saying that browsers could optionally return, with some examples, but those are never meant to be exhaustive lists. If it's legal to do so, then your code needs to be ready fo

The problem is that people relied on a side effect of a function that isn't guaranteed to block execution all the time (browsers are allowed to ignore those prompts) and now they have to fix their code.

Bugs happen, it's part of software development and no one is claiming any products from any company are exempt from them. We're only humans and it's still mostly humans writing the tests. But the bigger story is not about sol

Here's an example of a major bank website with some user visible non-breaking issue I saw recently: https://youtu.be/GFvaRgFf4LU?t=482 . It seems that it's been visible for a while, yet is not fixed. It's act

But do you use Chrome Canary, Dev or Beta for development purposes? Would you have then noticed the change? Do you have continuous testing on the websites you maintain with those versions? I presume you're only human, so it's almo

There are archives you can sample to measure the impact of a change to some degree. We can use them to have an estimation of how common some patterns are. It's tricky to query so it may not work for advanced use cases or identify cross

I've removed some feature from the web in Chrome after a long deprecation phase with warnings in devtools, proper announcements in ALL the relevant mailing lists and release notes. Still, many major websites broke as they failed to imp

Chrome engineer, working on WebRTC here. Here's my personal opinion: Safari's WebRTC implementation is not outdated, it's just bindings over the same library that is used and developed by Chrome. At worst, it's lagging a

I don't have that much experience migrating codebases from JS to TS, but I do have experience converting codebases from C to C++. The corollary is that C++ is typesafe while C isn't. So you can call a function taking a point to an

A monorepo surely makes that kind of change difficult. But when it's in, you know every team has access to it. Not just 2 or 3 teams out of hundreds. It has many other benefits as well that have been outlined in lots of other posts.

Your company probably has a better budget per computer than the school for the teachers and students.

The problem was that most people compared big inboxes managed in Outlook when brand new emails in GMail. It's certainly easier to search when you have very little data to go through.

Having a standard doesn't mean you're not allowed to innovate and create another one. SCTP dates from RFC2960, first draft was published in 1999. It had enough time to get traction, and it didn't. Why would anyone build somet
106.
by Orphis 5y ago
3 of those are related to DataChannels in WebRTC, which at this point is baked into the standard and can't be replaced by another protocol. The SCTP in DataChannels is quite limited, that subset is reasonable to implement somehow. Only

by Orphis 5y ago
SCTP over DTLS over ICE over UDP is used quite a lot though! That's how DataChannels in WebRTC were specified a while ago, and it's the only mechanism to do browser to browser communication.
108.
by Orphis 5y ago
SCTP can also be run over DTLS over ICE over UDP. How many layers is that?!
109.
by Orphis 5y ago
It doesn't matter if SCTP has good features if no one is willing to implement quality libraries for it. The protocol exists for a while and only one general purpose library exists for it that's widely used. And it's not witho

by Orphis 5y ago
Hey, that's not true. People use it... in the telecom industry and everyone using WebRTC's DataChannel (SCTP over DTLS actually). The protocol is probably mostly fine, but there are no quality library for using it in a general pur

I remember stories of the default password being a weak hash of the SSID. And when those are "ISPNAME-4DIGITS", it's not too hard to collect them all. Sometimes, they can be retrieved from the MAC address as well. So it'

It really depends on how the game is made. If the game knows what latency you have, it can compensate for it.

You can also automate the upgrade process with good tooling. Detect a new version? Update your local copy, run your CI, if it passes, you can automatically merge. Or you could ask for someone of your team to review the changes, knowing your

And that way, you can't have atomic updates across the repositories and need to synchronize them all the time, great.

Don't forget, they built the platform, but 3rd party apps are what gives it value. Very few people would use an Apple device if they didn't have access to their games or productivity apps. Moreover, users pay a high premium for th

I worked on Jpcsp a long time ago, PSP emulator in Java. It was the first emulator to manage to run a large amount of games. We had some crazy devs on it who even wrote a MIPS to Java bytecode JIT. It worked great... sometimes. We ended up

To me, the solution is simple: use a single source (some IDL format) to define objects at API boundaries and have your frontend and backend use it. It will make it a lot harder to return wrong types from your calls. Personally, I like gRPC

The Chrome stack has been highly tuned to make a Stadia use case work, but Firefox hasn't, making highly latency sensitive usage difficult for now.

Technically, it's SRTP with keys derived from the handshake of a DTLS connection though. That DTLS connection can be used for SCTP, the underlying protocol for WebRTC data channels. So yeah, that won't work to stream to a WebRTC e
