Also Qt doesn't do this for any mobile OS. You are expected to do it yourself with QML. Right, that's the "did this" part. It no longer works.

I still don't see how this is going to protect you from writing native code for all platforms. You can have all the abstractions you want, at some point you need to code to the native toolkit. The code that actually gets a window or bu

Is there anything special about this? Any old project with a public bugtracker is going to have stuff like this. If you browse through Mozilla's (probably one of the oldest around!), you're almost certainly going to find much olde

I thought it was pretty well understood that you should never name a number, and if you're forced to, you should say 5 times the number you had in mind.

The blob does not decode anything besides Baseline profile. It won't decode any web video.

I'm not sure if you understood the "native yet crossplatform" part. I'm not talking about native code, I'm talking about a native looking UI. In other words, Win32 on Windows, GTK/Qt on Linux, etc. Instead of E

The problem is that the sites that had that moniker tended to be old, badly written and in ignorance of the actual web standard . Firefox's tracker suggests that standardization work on the feature is ongoing. So if you implement it n

The real problem IMHO is that making a "native" yet "crossplatform" UI has become essentially impossible. You need to re-code the application for every platform. Which makes it understandable that people just go "fu

This doesn't actually work. Try it!

Which is why Chrome includes an MPEG-4 AVC/H264 decoder, but Chromium and Firefox do not.

Unlike NTP Classic, he asserts POSIX and C99. Aka not supporting Windows.

Would people claim that Python and Ruby have "specifications", though?

2048-bit RSA keys are still very common and the least of your worries for quite a while.

Isn't it typical to lift the NDA's exactly on the launch date? They're rather consistent here IMHO.

So far that's only Knights Landing and friends, but they do seem well supported.

No, that is actually a serious mischaracterization, to be point of being actually malicious. The point wasn't that it had to be IndexedDB, the point was that it couldn't be WebSQL as long as the latter relied on specific SQLite im

I don't think there's any question that Intel will win in single-thread performance. AMD has never stated the opposite. They will, though, manage to deliver much more cores despite only being a tiny bit behind in single-core, whic

Note that AVX512 actually addresses many of the issues that made SIMT code so inefficient on CPUs. It's not just widening the vectors, but also adding predication/masking etc. I do fully agree that SIMT is a much easier programmin

doesn't prove fast IO is often a bottleneck. It's not often a bottleneck. In fact it usually isn't. But when it is, you're left wondering why you didn't get an SSD. They're cheap enough now.

Contrary to the claims there, the CPU does matter: if the network is relatively small, it's easy to get bottle-necked feeding the GPU. Same thing applies to storage, for the same reasons. There's a reason AMD is selling deep learn

Huh? It would be perfectly valid to have it power the regex part of the scripting engine in a browser, for example. If that would then lead to memory safety errors, you just got yourself a 0-day. Regex engines used in browsers are both fast

Maybe slightly offtopic, but is there any chance we could see a VSCode based on Edge/Chakra? I prefer your font rendering over your competitions', and that's a pretty big issue for an editor.

The Rust regex library is written by the same guy who wrote ripgrep. I'd be surprised if it didn't run circles around boost::regex.

Given that we're talking about bugs, I don't think this is a valid argument. Being forced to avoid bugs is good, yes? Even if it's not necessarily less hard to make them in the first place (which is arguable, too!). I mean, I

It predates ES5 and ES2015. I'm not sure that makes it bad though, it's still a good introduction?

the design of everyday thing I've seen that recommended many times but it's a terrible book, IMHO. (I don't remember the specifics why, but vaguely remember the author waffles around without any real points).

The commander of AF447 did know exactly the right thing to do, though. (Aside from maybe knocking the copilot out)

Firefox argued that WebSQL was a terrible idea that shouldn't become a standard, and the other vendors eventually agreed, including some that were already shipping it.

It was a SQLite only concept, not so much a WebKit only concept. Of course defining the API for years to come based on the quirks of one particular implementation was terrible, even if somewhat convenient at the time.
