This is a great feature (and probably related to reliance on markdown from all the LLM services). I do wish they'd add SVG import to slides though, that's been a top feature request for like a decade.

They did apparently rewrite it in Cocoa back in ~2008. Although that was 16 years ago so I'm sure it's accumulated a fair bit of tech debt since then.

This is super cool, and I love the old school tech stack. It makes for a very approachable codebase and a fast user experience. As a reminder given the recent polyfill io attack, don't use public CDN hosted JS without also setting SRI

There are pretty different uptime and stability requirements for a social product and web search (or other Google products like Gmail). When news feed is broken life moves on, when those products break many people can't get any work do

That world lived on for quite a while through different mediums. I remember joining the webkit IRC channel in the early days and being full of wonder that folks like Hyatt were just hanging out willing to chat with me and answer questions.

Also the folks who spec'ed ES6 modules didn't think it was a required feature to ship SRI from that start so it's still not broadly and easily supported across browsers. I requested the `with` style import attributes 8 years

I'm very excited this finally shipped everywhere! Prior to this Set wasn't much more than a Map<any, true> since it had no actual Set operations.

My parents had a Sony KV-40XBR700, the 40in 300lb CRT. I thought it was the largest you could buy until learning about the even larger one in TFA. The picture quality on the KV-40XBR700 was amazing for the era (~2003). My Dad cleverly cut a

I have to wonder if maybe writing the whole thing in TypeScript from the start may have been a better choice. It's not clear what they get from Rust and it introduces the binding layer complexity described in the article.

Boq has a lot of restrictions on what you can do (ex. No user functions except a tiny allow list they own). It lives in a manifest.bzl file though, and I'm pretty sure uses the golang starlark interpreter.
135.

Google is a mess of configuration languages. Starlark, GCL, piccolo, textproto, yaml, the weird subset of starlark boq uses. From the outside it seems a lot more uniform than it is.

For general web browsing it's true there's basically just Gecko, WebKit and Blink that are broadly used and compatible with the whole ecosystem. There's a fair number of other engines though like Sciter, Flow, Cobalt and Serv

The happy path is still just nil comparison though: if err == nil || target == nil { return err == target } So the overhead is the function call and 2 comparisons. I wonder if the `isComparable := reflectlite.TypeOf(target).C

This is one of my favorite principles, don't try to make the codebase "too DRY" . I often see it cause stress and complexity in platform or infra teams trying to support large communities of developers. It's right to be
