If you already have node and npm installed, and are happy running random binaries from the internet, you can `npx magic-wormhole` to run this without any further setup. It just wraps wormhole-william, which is the go implementation of magic

"Proposed" is the final state of many stable RFCs; see a list at [1], and compare it to the (much shorter) list of finished standards above it. The name is kind of misleading these days. Some discussion at [2]. Just to give an ex

API keys are unrelated to the $20/month product, and the keys are pay-as-you-go. The newest model is $15 per million tokens of output, which is to say, you would be extremely hard-pressed to spend $20/month on the API.

If we're being pedantic, you also forgot document.all. Which is in fact an infinite collection of values, because document.all is a different object in every frame.

It's not common at all. It can happen, but it's very rare. And it's basically never intentional. In my experience the most common cause of breaking changes is accidentally breaking on older versions of the runtime, because th

A lot of shipped code is effectively unmaintained even on pages which are otherwise being modified, in many cases by relatively non-technical people (a small business owner contracts a webdev to build a page and show them how to update the

Browsers are much, much better at addressing security issues than Flash or Java applets ever were. There's no comparison. And even if you think that they ought not to have been removed, surely it's clear that the concerns about se

There's a big difference between breaking things because they're relying on impossible-to-secure plugins and breaking things because JavaScript developers want to invoke an API in a slightly different way. Regarding versioning, se

No current plans for `keyBy`, and I don't know that it's really that well-motivated. (I am on TC39.)

We originally tried to put it on Array.prototype, under multiple different names, and that broke various pages in various ways. So we gave up and had to put it somewhere else. And it's conceptually similar to `fromEntries` - they'

eslint and typescript are the de-facto static analysis tools for JavaScript. TypeScript isn't extensible. So if you want to do any custom static analysis, you're doing it as a custom eslint plugin. It might be better to have some

A number of these are using older, awkward APIs, when there's nicer native versions now. For example, "replace an element" is ele.parentNode.replaceChild(newEle, ele); but unless you're targeting Chrome < 54,

Yeah, in your case I think most of the complexity is actually on the ReadableStream side, not the base64 side. The thing that I'd actually want for your case is either a TransformStream for byte stream <-> base64 stream (which I

This specific proposal will only really help with the last part - it will let you write return `data:application/octet-stream;base64,${(value as Uint8Array).toBase64()}`; but you'll still have to do the work of reading th

The proposal for native base64 support for Uint8Arrays is mine. I'm glad to see people are interested in using it. (So am I!) For a status update, for the last year or two the main blocker has been a conflict between a desire to have s

There's some additional interesting details, and a surprising amount of variation in those details, once you start really digging into things. If the length of your input data isn't exactly a multiple of 3 bytes, then encoding it
