Chrome was trying to do this: https://developer.chrome.com/native-client However, cries of foul "vendor lockin" erupted. So I dunno what to tell you, man.

Keep in mind that every autocar will have an extremely accurate recording of the accident that can be analyzed and played back during a hearing. Determining fault will be trivial in almost all cases.

From your own link: "Google and Delphi said their cars were not at fault in any accidents, which the companies said were minor."

I don't think framing the issue as one of individual morals is very constructive. Here's how I tend to think about the future of web advertising: 1. The tracking data that the online advertising industry gathers is bad for users a

I don't want to be flippant here, but anyone who thinks you can build a high-quality UI with a solely declarative system hasn't built very many UIs.

Please provide sources for your claims, I would be interested in reading them.

The HN community was (and apparently still is) incredibly hostile to the idea that global warming is a grave threat to humanity. I would think that such a technology-oriented group would be swayed by the now-massive collection of solid data

Yes and no. Netflix's basic original goal is the same: they want it to be the entertainment option that you instinctively reach for when you have free time (the "moments of truth"). In the past, they achieved this via their v

The addition of "async/await" to ES7 will make things like async DOM APIs practical to use. Until then, you'll be in callback hell forever.

Note that relative positioning does not just create a stacking context, it also allows you to use the `left` and `top` properties to offset the element from its static position.

The new Map and WeakMap classes use Object.is() to determine if two keys are the same (otherwise it would be impossible to use NaN as a key to a map). Whether this algorithm should have been exposed to users is debatable, but it exists for

35mph is the normal minimum in the US, outside of some neighborhoods where it gets as low as 20-25mph. The 25mph speed is a hack around US auto regulations, which are far less strict if the vehicle's max speed is 25mph or less.

This is a pretty long article. The concepts you need to know aren't so long: There are three ways to invoke a function. The meaning of `this` depends on which method was used: - If a function is invoked in the form `foo.func()`, then t

There are lots of reasons to want some form of scripting language embedded inside a C++ project. This is the primary use case for Lua, especially in game development. For example - In a game, write quest logic in the scriptable language so

What? The correct behavior here is to realize that the target no longer supports iMessage and return to non-iMessage behavior. This should involve swapping the UI from blue back to green so the user is aware.

Well...sure. The correct answer is "use WebGL, it's designed for this." Looks like the guy learned a lot about 3D engines though. His next goal (to make a CSS output for Three.js) is similarly silly, but the history of comput

This comment is still ignoring the main point. It shouldn't matter what Hachette's balance sheet currently is. The point is that Amazon appears to have complete control over it. Given that situation, it will inevitably reach zero.

Another thing to keep in mind is that while cross-cutting constraints are a bad idea in gross quantities, they do appear in many well-designed UIs and as such are not something that you can disallow completely. If you have a system that d

Approximately half of Flash's design decisions and APIs were extremely well-designed and well-engineered. There are still many things that Flash does better than pure HTML and their view framework API was actually quite lovely. That sa

While manufacturing the cable is expensive, actually laying it (in that particular part of the ocean) is not that challenging. They essentially just drive a ship along that path while slowly spooling out the cable from the rear. They have t

While cloning makes sense to an individual actor, it has a harmful effect on the market overall. If cloning is rampant, then innovation is discouraged. Why spend the time and resources to find things out for yourself when you can just wait

Marvel sold the X-Men rights to Fox, who retains them as long as they continue to make X-Men movies (the same is true for Sony with Spiderman). It's unlikely that Fox will relinquish those rights within the next 10 years.

In practice, however, using BitCoin requires trusting something that is the equivalent of a gateway (an exchange) with your BitCoins if you want to be able to freely trade them. The fact that this weakness does not appear in the BitCoin pro

Gradients and juicy-fruit graphics are like candy -- they provide an instant and strong positive feeling, but they don't age well. If you had to eat nothing but candy, you'd hate the sugar-coated morass your mouth had become. In g

First, regulations regarding universal access have little in common with net neutrality regulations except that both are simply examples of regulation. A person might support one but not the other without crossing some logical event horizon
