I agree with all this, but note that he suggested chanting "Europe! Europe!", not "<country>! <country>!". That doesn't make it less blatant, but it does mostly solve the alienation issue you mention.

AddressSanitizer is great. It's been around for a long time now though, the only thing that's new is that it now has Xcode integration. (And Apple marketing apparently thought that the name was better with a space in the middle, l

I agree with almost all of these, except that I like the new UI.

There are many languages that compile to JavaScript (TypeScript, Dart, CoffeeScript, ...). You don't have to use JavaScript.

For everyone interested in learning OpenGL I'd recommend learning WebGL. It's the same graphics API, except that it runs in the browser so you don't need to mess with compilers and linkers and your scenes will work on all pla

I have; how would I write this comment from the heading "I've been scrubbed"? But the cleanup team didn't read the post. The photo is shown at the bottom, together with the byline it looks like there might be a dead pers

Facebook has a huge team in the Philippines doing manual gore removal. There was an article on how the people doing that work can't do it very long as it's mentally taxing. Since this was a picture of a dead person, I bet this wa

Interviewing is stressful and all, but if the guy's reaction to not getting hired is to flame on twitter, not hiring might've been the right call.

To be fair, they don't use this on their properties. Apple ships Papyrus too.

I don't know, it looks pretty obviously like he's talking his book. I care about privacy, but Cook using it to sell me Apple products is a turn-off to me.

At some point, the text editor in chrome's devtools was based on canvas. I don't know if that's still true, though.

Sunspider does next to no processing, it's really not a good benchmark for judging computation speed of a device. Arguably, it's not a good benchmark, period. Kraken or Octane are more interesting benchmarks for compute-heavy work

"Svenson (1981) surveyed 161 students in [...] the United States, asking them to compare their driving skills and safety to other people. For driving skills, 93% of the U.S. sample [...] put themselves in the top 50%; for safety, 88% o

Do you have data on Firefox using less battery? I thought the order for energy usage was Safari < Chrome < Firefox (but can't find anything to back that up either).

Every single presentation of Brendan has this "I made this in 10 days" thing, super annoying. JavaScript is a great example how your career can go pretty well if you're good at selling what you're building, even if it&#x

C tooling is much better these days. If you run your code under valgrind or address sanitizer with a good fuzzer, most of these concerns go away. True, you might not need that for a memory-safe language, but you probably still need to fuzz

But none of that was written by Microsoft employees, so I'm a bit confused about what exactly this blog post is announcing. It feels a bit like they're taking credit for the work done by the clang community.

You can't design protocols without implementation experience. Looks like they're going the same route they went with SPDY, and that has worked really well.

Is 32-bit Linux still worth worrying about? It seems that 64-bit CPUs and kernels have been around for a really long time now. (Honest question.)

Compare Android with iOS. Android is open-source but if you want to ship any Google apps, the company making these apps makes you sign an agreement that forces you to ship a certain set of their apps. iOS is closed source, and you just plai

What's wrong with ninja? It's CMake's best output format as far as I know. A lot more enjoyable to use than, say, msbuild.
