I would say the opposite. IE was popular long ago because they were fastest to implement new features. IE is the reason XMLHttpRequest has such a silly name. IE supported CSS grid 5 years before anyone else[1]. The problem is they tried to

I'd call it dead I guess, but I don't see why that's a problem. It's a physical product, you can't keep manufacturing those forever. They supported it until the next generation of consoles came out. Would it be fair

If they blatantly lie to steal your money, you can now prove actual damages in court. That's an improvement over trying to sue over a lost free gmail account. Not that I think going to court is an ideal solution, but what other choice

I found this comparison of JIT vs non-JIT. https://microsoftedge.github.io/edgevr/posts/Super-Duper-Sec... If you take those charts at face value, they're pretty incredible. The JIT ends up worse than the int

That happens sometimes when you move up an abstraction level. I bet "self.count += 1" is a lot longer than the machine code it generates.

On the other hand, most code is read more often than it is written, and those comments are very readable!

If you couldn't transfer data memory to code memory at all, how would it be possible to write an ordinary compiler? If it's possible to run a compiler on the system, just have your JIT do whatever the compiler does.

This could be a crazy thing to say, but they might just be textile experts over there. When you're in Italy, even the "bad" food is great. In Switzerland, even the "bad" mountains are still great places to ski. And

Random question, were physical radio buttons ever circular, or are they circular on computers only to differentiate from a check box? I've only ever seen rectangular radio buttons IRL, and a quick image search seems to agree. https:&#

Just think of it as throwing the old button away and buying a new one. Buttons come idle from the factory. Once the old button is hauled away and the new one is installed under where your cursor happens to be, it transitions to hover.

Especially when you have 6 git hooks, and they're all run one by one in "pre-commit", which is written in Python, another whole slow interpreted ecosystem. I do not miss my last job.

It's not a ploy for clicks. Programmers spend a lot of time working with programming languages and so the choice of language is an interesting thing to mention, no matter what it might be. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=

This is the first thing I found on google https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11293-017-9567-1 but there are papers supporting both sides (eg sibling comment). I guess it's not as cut and dry as I made

I wouldn't take any publisher's opinion seriously. It's been proven that music piracy is _positively_ correlated with sales, yet the RIAA is still trying to stop youtube-dl from existing. I have to assume these pencil pushers

Those penalties are only theoretical. They only matter if the FTC bothers with enforcement. Lowly citizens such as you and I cannot bring a suit and cannot cost these companies a dime. Source: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex

The relevant agency would be the FTC, but is the FTC even interested in pursuing these cases? I've seen a few cases where they sued scammy businesses ( https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2

It's definitely illegal, but (ianal) it's the kind of thing that's tough to do anything about legally. The inconvenience to a particular individual is so small that there are no damages worth suing over. And so nobody bothers
