Also, a must read about DRM, by hixie (main author of the HTML5 spec): https://plus.google.com/+IanHickson/posts/iPmatxBYuj2 If you've ever thought DRM made no sense at av the tech or crypto level, read that

EME is an API to talk to a Content Decryption Module, I.e. a DRM system. EME is easy and free to implement, but entirely useless without a CDM. There is no specification for CDMs. If you want one, you need to license it from Adobe or some o

My guess: It is also a cute character from Disney. In French they are not homophones, and people seem to care a lot less.

You still need to go through GAAP (or some other ruleset) to figure out what goes into the E I T D and A of the EBITDA.

Nice to see that economic reason prevailed over protectionism, but at the same time, sharp would probably be a good company to split into various smaller businesses. It's doing to many barely related things.

On the other hand, you got the raise at the point where I started hoping you'd do great, even if you hadn't yet.

Isn't most of Japan's debt owned domestically? Making local companies and retired people go bust by defaulting on debt they own doesn't sound like a good way out.

A few couple of quotes from wikipedia: "The Supreme Court is generally reluctant to exercise the powers of judicial review given to it by the constitution, in large part because of unwillingness to become involved in politically sensit

Also gathered constitutional experts, tasked them to research whether this would be constitutional (expecting them to say it was). When they concluded it wasn't, the gvt apologized for hiring the wrong folks, and moved on.

It's (a). If you get substantial food while you were starving, your body will guess that this time of the day is a good one to be awake at, in case the food source is available every day at the same time. So a solid breakfast after a s

user-select does need some improvements in browsers, but this MDN page is somewhat out of date. It is now being standardized: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-ui-4/#content-selection Browsers haven't fully converged y

There were some good reasons behind the intent for vendor prefixing, but it was a flawed solution to a real problem. As vendor prefixed made it to production builds, we ended up not with experimental properties that we could still change wi

It's a pretty good video. One thing it doesn't cover (or only implies) is that the debtor's countries spending plays a role in fueling the richer countries economies. Germany is in a better situation because of many fundament

Nice. Simple and efficient. I am going to read more from that code base. Looks like this might be a nice read as well: https://ocaml.org/docs/papers.html#BytecodeCompilerandByteco...

An offset from the first label, or some nearby alignment point? Makes sense. Do you have a pointer to the relevant part of OCaml's source? The whole thing is probably worth a read, but don't think I can set aside enough time for t

One of the things Servo (the web browser engine written in Rust) has not decided to write from scratch is a (high performance) js engine. If they did, they might have more feedback on this kind of things.

Hadn't thought of that, but it sounds interesting. I guess this means that opcodes in your bytecode need to be large enough to store a pointer, this could involve some tradeoffs in terms of minimizing instructions vs fitting in the cac

And they say C is a simple language... :) To be fair, I've seen code like this exactly once.

This is a fairly mechanical conversion, so suppose a sufficiently smart compiler could do that. But assuming a sufficiently smart compiler when you depend on your code being fast tends to cause issues. Especially if you expect it to run on

A bitecode interpreter is another place where it's nice to have gotos. Here's the base code without gotos: typedef enum { ADD, MUL, ..., END } opcode; void run() { opcode ins; while (1) { ins = fetch_next_ins

agree on 1 and 3. As for 2, I think it makes sense. You can pre-render your GUI on the server side, so that clients get served proper html rather than an empty pile of js, and then have the same codebase take over on the client side, single

That's the easiest way to deal with it. If you can remember that (which is not hard), and where one type of account falls on the left/right spectrum (which isn't hard either, pick whichever you like), then you can figure out
