A compiler has more than syntax though, since it understands semantics and does a lot of checks. I think the parent comment refers to something a little more rudimentary, like a macro-based system to do a rough translation of code.

Isn't that essentially appeal to authority? As long as the information is factually correct it doesn't really matter where it came from.

Intercontinental travel was once like this, too. Take several months to make a horrible journey that could very well kill you. Now you can do it in under a day, safely, for a very reasonable price, with just a mild discomfort. I think the p

Now, would it even make sense to merge into the mainline codebase of LLVM backend code targeting a platform that noone else can test or use? Is Google planning on eventually releasing this architecture publicly or maybe licensing it to thir

I'd say we mostly suck at distributing Linux software. I'm not sure if improvements have been made recently, but I remember reading the docs on how to create .deb bundles a couple years ago, and the impression I got was that it ha

It does build them on install time, if a suitable compiler is available. A classic example is the `ws` module (WebSockets), when you install that you'll normally see the build log for its native dependencies on the npm output: $ np

Sadly this would break a lot of websites and apps, since a lot of scripts are served from the Google (and other) CDNs these days. A whitelist of sorts could help though.

I might be mistaken, (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) but IIRC Plutonium is a side-product of the enrichment of weapons-grade Uranium. I think the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons treaty might impose some barriers on th

I'm using a Retina MacBook Pro and it's also blurry for me. You should multiply the canvas "width" and "height" attributes by devicePixelRatio, but keep its size constant using CSS.

The implementation in JS seems to be simpler and consequently less error prone than the one in C#. Calling an async function just returns a Promise. The await operator just yields to the event loop until a given Promise is fullfilled. Excep
