I could see how this could be faster. At the end of the day, after the browser does all of its highly optimized processing of the dom, html, and CSS, it is issuing drawing commands that are the same as the ones you make on canvas. Canvas sk

JavaScriptCore can’t JIT when run in process, the entitlement isn’t there on your app, so the kernel won’t let it. I think that’s part of the reason for WKWebView (which runs the browser in a separate process and proxies it).

It's been decades since I looked at it, but I remember Andrew User Interface System being another attempt at this. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~AUIS/

The thing that bothers me about this problem is that (as far as I recall) it's not asserted that the host always gives the player a chance to switch. If the host sometimes gives people a choice and sometimes doesn't, based on unk

Yup, "You must first sign the relevant contracts online." And large company, so I've gotta track down the guy that can actually sign the contracts.

In the past, I used a grid of random characters (a tabula recta) that I keep in my wallet, plus an algorithm for pulling passwords out of it. This system broke down when I was forced to change passwords on various sites.

It's kinda nice living in a different area code from my phone. I know that if I get a call from 415, it's spam.

Yeah, both my health insurance company and the company that eventually bought my mortgage have both sent me letters. And this point I just dump them in a folder in the filing cabinet with the rest.

It contains bitmap (Type3) fonts. Some older documents produced by TeX have this issue (back in the day you'd have metafont generate bitmaps designed for your specific printer, taking into account ink fill-in, etc). Modern outline ver

Doesn't "vau" in the kernel language do this? Or does that not qualify as commonly known?

Apple will silently drop an email (no bounce message) based on text content of attached pdf files. This happened at my day job, we found the page of the pdf that triggered it via divide and conquer.

istat menus seems to better report aggregate memory usage. I’m getting 750 mb for Safari on a clean launch with just those two tabs. (It drifts up to 850 mb and back down if I interact with them.)

This reminds me that back in the 80's, David Betz wrote an object-oriented lisp dialect called advsys for authoring text adventures. I recently rediscovered in on github at https://github.com/dbetz/advsys

Yeah, TIL. I've looked at the DOM before, but I saw multiple layers of tables and just assumed it was tables all the way down.

There are CRDT algorithms that are similar to this. Some pick from the middle, some from one end or the other and some randomize the choice. It's the solution I'd probably go with for this specific problem (maybe with a bigger al

The useless, giant electron ticked me off. That was soon followed by a price increase. So I dropped them. On the way out, Dropbox blocked me from deleting 'tex.web' on my local machine, because it thought it owned anything with a

Many years ago, I was surprised to find out that XTerm can also emulate a vector-based tektronix terminal. The only application for it that I found was a previewer for TeX's dvi files that could render on the Tektronix terminal by draw

Past the initial seasoning, I've found that just using the pan helps a lot. My problem has been that I've a lot of rough (and very hard) cruft built up on the outside and the upper part of inside of the pan. +1 on the squirt bottl

Maybe use a tampermonkey script to inject some css? I tend to prefer light mode, but I have tweaked the styling to extend the tan background to the entire screen (instead of having white surrounding the main table).

I think KFC invented/patented the combi-oven, they could be referring to that. (A humidity/temperature controlled oven that can be used like sous-vide.) Practically I kinda doubt you'd want frying temperature anywhere near a

My fuzzy recollection is that the option board could read the entire track at once, raw - not MFM decoded, where the typical controller in a PC had a high level interface that only gave you sectors. One copy protection system that I remembe

Yeah, I believe it's the introduction to a series of articles (TOC on left), but it isn't super clear from the text. Lots of interesting stuff on that web site though. (There are a handful of other article series too.)

Yeah, I tried to mention that near the end, but it can be hard to explain. It is "t" applied to "e" - so it would be t(e) in javascript notation. This could be nonsensical, but because of lazy evaluation it never gets ex

In the base definition are no numbers involved. Just S K and I, with these rewrite rules: S x y z = x z (x z) K x y = x I x = x So, you can think of the whole thing as a list of S K I and parenthesized sequences of S, K, an

And when it does work, Siri likes to split your item into two entries. (e.g. "red salsa" ends up as an entry for "red" and an entry for "salsa") Also fun - you say something, the words you said show up on the s

Chrome has something called Desktop PWA that allows a PWA (that meets some additional requirements) to be installed as a native app. On macos it has its own .app bundle that can be launched by user and participates in the app switching as a
