This explanation is a bit hand-wavy, but "correct enough" for our purposes. Let us suppose that you wanted to store some per-thread data. A naive way to do that could be to have a global mapping from thread ID to a pointer to your

That's because PASCAL was used for 16-bit Windows. They only define it as stdcall in 32-bit and 64-bit compilers for source compatibility reasons. The 16-bit Windows SDK does not define PASCAL as stdcall. PASCAL pushes arguments left t

I did my first internship working at Sybase on SQL Anywhere. Some great people worked at that office. Even some of the original Watcom guys were still there. Fun fact: SQL Anywhere was still compiled using Watcom C++ long after the latter w

Why advocate for a fork when you could simply contribute to existing sandboxing and site isolation efforts?

It took Google several years to implement in Chromium as well. They just happened to have the convenience of having it ready when Spectre was revealed.

Web devs should not be using that stuff until it has broader support.

This reminds me of an issue I had to debug over a decade ago. Our product had its own protocol written atop TCP, but its handshake was written in a way such that it was much slower than it should have been due to delays caused by the Nagle

That stuff was also included in Fennec (the current Firefox for Android). GeckoView is completely orthogonal to Project Quantum. (I work on the GeckoView team).
