It's not eager. The | combinator takes lazy parameters (called pass-by-name in scala). So it essentially gets translated to: val e = operator_pipe(() => p, () => e) Note that the operator_pipe() itself returns a function, which g

I agree. One thing that is sorely missing, for example, is a way to define recursive values. In Scala, to express a recursive parser combinator: val e = p | e You can't define such a thing in Kotlin. Atleast, this was the case the last

While I like the mechanism, I am not too certain about the policies. From the paper [1], they use "a subset of approximately 1500 domains from Disconnect’s privacy-oriented blocklist to identify these unsafe origins". Further, the

Couldn't this mitigated by user-agents introducing random, Poisson distributed delays in all cached responses? The peak of the distribution could be made user configurable to make it further difficult to predict a user-agent.

By that logic, why not bundle all the popular addons with Firefox? Why only a chosen few?

The complaint is not about WebRTC, but about Hello. The comments in this thread are going in loops. "Hello shouldn't be bundled with a browser." "But it is just a small wrapper around WebRTC." "Yea

> To alter globals, use the window object explicitly. JS is used in non-DOM contexts as well. Though, of course, if that big a change is being made, a generic substitute for `window` could also be specified.

Wonderful! I don't use Facebook that much, but I hope this helps make PGP more popular among users and services. In particular, I am hoping for banks to start PGP encrypting the reports they send to me via email.

Disabling the user-agent breaks quite a few websites as of today, but I agree, it's a good way forward to break the hegemony of certain websites and browsers.

I guess even the offline thing may not be a problem as long as the messages are in a room that is hosted over an always-on server. The bundled server will be able to sync up its history from the always-on server.

You can't bounds check a pointer begotten from &arr[i]. It simply doesn't carry enough information. Moreover, there might be existing C programs that rely on out of bounds access (where they know that the out of bounds access

Great point. Lately we have been reconsidering the request manager matrix shown in gngr. It was inspired by HTTPSwitchBoard's matrix, that has a separate column for XHR. However, like you pointed out, there are other ways than XHR to l
