I don't think that's the consensus opinion, and suggesting that it is might be misleading to people who are less informed than you are. You already mention Blazor, which would hugely profit from direct DOM access. Various React-li

This excites me much more than the original result, which I considered to use two tiles[1]. The fact that it’s a such tiny modification of the original result is crazy. Even if you don’t intend to read the paper, look at the illustrations o

WebAssembly can interact with JavaScript, and JavaScript can access the DOM. This was a compromise to reduce attack surface and implementation effort, to get a version 1 out the door. Allowing direct DOM access would have required implement

That's the new, after-the-fact justification for the project after the original goal, finding new physics, didn't happen. But to be fair, there was no way to new whether new physics would be found without looking.

I don't even think it's logically incompatible. Isn't this just ((A → B) ∧ (¬A → B)) → B?

Python packaging is a special kind of dependency hell, you get the feeling that forward compatibility is an unknown idea and everything depends on the precise version of anything else. Last time I checked, some of the most popular packages

JSON as a computer-generated serialization format doesn't need any of those features. But for human-written configuration files, at the very least trailing commas and comments are basically a necessity. The question then is which featu

I think we agree, but I'm not sure I get your last point. PHP, for all its (in parts very weird) flaws, always had the advantage of how fast it is to get a website up and running. But AFAICT, VB.net isn't actually any easier to ge

My reading of these events is that the jailbreak is successful, but some other, slower system detects it after the fact and deletes the message. Given the delay, I've seen speculation that there's a manual step involved.

I wonder if it’s possible to somehow train these models to recognize additional out-of-band data, e.g. annotate every character with a “color” that can’t be faked by the user to signify its origin. Everything that’s in-band seems potentiall

Presumably, most of the code doesn't change often, and consequently, should be kept in the filesystem cache and never actually read from disk. So the numbers could apply, I think.

That kind of stuff is necessary for binary protocols to evolve in a compatible way. When a TLS 1.4 is defined, we need a window where clients and servers can still negotiate 1.3 until both have been upgraded. And 1.3 had to find ways to be

I always thought that the "message passing" style of OO (which I always hated as a term, because it implies asynchronicity, but I digress) is firmly something else than the "classes and interfaces" style of OO, and that

Ruby is mostly a Self in this classification, right? Or maybe a Self/ALGOL hybrid. It does have iteration as a method (.each), but also has traditional if statements.
