Certainly interesting, but I'm not sure how well the performance of a prolog interpreter maps to other use cases. That benchmark looks too short to be a useful measure of how JIT influences performance, otherwise I would ask how the re

I don't commonly see mainstream programming languages, compilers, or runtimes providing comparative benchmarks for themselves these days, so I don't consider that a safe assumption at all. It would certainly be nice if Wasmer did

> thus inferior to natively compiled code in most instances Do you have a source for this claim? Using a JIT with AOT binaries (which is what this seems to be) can sometimes be very beneficial. It's like doing PGO without the manual

I think at this point we've established that it's C which is just irreparably broken. Blaming the OpenSSL developers for writing bad C is just a "no true scotsman" at this point, since there is no large, popular C codeba

I don’t think we’re on the same page about what midstack inlining is being used for in my suggestion. This discussion is about eliminating a heap allocation, which as far as I understand, RVO never does. Please read the article I linked i

There is potentially another option: use the midstack inliner to move the allocation from the heap to the stack of the calling function: https://words.filippo.io/efficient-go-apis-with-the-inliner/ As long as the globa

Nebula is Nreal's proprietary virtual workspace. DeX is a feature offered on many mid-to-high-end Samsung phones where you can plug it into an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard and get an Android-based desktop-style experience with

As noted elsewhere in this discussion, the Nreal Air glasses already offer 49ppd, which is way higher than the VR headsets on that chart. I haven't gotten to try them out yet, but they seem interesting.

If you take a photo of a subject that is closer than 7.8 inches, you're no longer using the main camera on the 14 Pro. It automatically switches to the ultrawide camera and crops in to show the same field of view. I suspect that is hap

Unless I'm reading this wrong, it looks like Mozilla has been working on OPFS support for the last 10 months or so: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1748667 No telling when it will be ready, but it's e

Google, Apple, and Mozilla apparently all failed to find a solution to this problem, even though lots of people wanted there to be a solution. Certainly, any browser that shipped this feature in a privacy-respecting manner would have brag

As a little pro-tip, the demos appear to be serving a gzip compressed WASM file, but offering a brotli compressed version for clients that say they accept it would be even better: 665K sqlite3.wasm 306K sqlite3.wasm.gz (-54% compa
