I don't know about doing this directly with v8, but when used in the browser, the code will be cached after being compiled a certain number of times.

Title correction: it's faster to parse and initialize using JSON than to parse and compile the code required to initialize Objects directly. If the code is already compiled, it's much faster to initialize in code. At least that&

Yeah, I think the person who made the cultural imperialism point was trying to say more or less that: that there are a lot of countries that speak English because English is the culturally dominant language. Personally I think there's

Because the UK, Australia, South Africa, Canada and the United States are ~6x the size of Germany. This was caused by colonialism, though, not cultural imperialism.

It's more about how light the body is than how efficient it is. Consider: the Tesla Model 3 has a range of 350 km, and a battery capacity of 50 kWh. That's a little more than seven km per kWh. So, less efficient than the human bod

Interesting! It might go without saying, but just to check: I assume the study intentionally included some cases where the first result was not the most relevant one, right? Did the study find differences in the rate of clicking on the firs

How many people have you personally observed searching for Basecamp? I mean, it can't be that many, right? Or, do you mean, most people you've watched use Google just click the top link for whatever they're searching for? But

The same could be said for physical shopping, though. The majority of people are not going to drive out into the countryside or the warehouse district to find your particular clothing store. They're going to walk to the fifth avenue sh

I think it's pretty bad that the phone companies facilitate this attack. I wonder if they have any kind of legal liability for their negligence? Maybe all that's needed to stop these attacks is for people to start suing them for t

You can't erase the bitcoins, just the transaction. If you did that, they'd still be in the source wallet.

People do this all the time, and it's not expensive at all. You can do wire transfers of hundreds of thousands of dollars for a $20 fee. You can get certified checks from your bank for large amounts for free.

What information in the P0 blog posts on this topic was false or misleading? I read Apple's response, then I read the P0 blog post, but I don't see anything in Apple's response that actually rebuts anything that the P0 blog p

Sometimes it seems there is no justice in the world. I guess because there isn't. Terrible people who do catastrophic harm to millions of citizens live in wealth and comfort to the ripe old age of 95. At the same time, innocent childre

From what I can read of the press release, they are claiming a reduction of 30% in the amount of pesticide used. So, a significant incremental improvement, but certainly not something truly smart like using a camera to identify individual p

Since I'm not a novelist, professional critic, or a great writer, I can't do any of these things. When I try, it comes off as forced, at best. Instead, if I write a review, I just try to say in plain English what about the book ap

You're not legally required to get insurance for a mortgage. But you won't have much luck finding a lender who will lend to you if you don't. I'd be surprised if this wasn't equally the case in most other countries.

Theoretically. But if they're not willing to offer top dollar for iOS, they sure won't for Android. And anyway, if they value Android spots so much, they will be able to bid in this auction and appear on the list. The list is rand

If Android were a separate company from Google, and the owners of Android and Google were the same (i.e. the post anti-trust breakup scenario), you'd expect a financially equivalent outcome. Google will obviously bid high enough that t

The false self employment concept seems fishy to me. I doubt they will succeed on that front. Perhaps they will be able to get somewhere with GDPR, but, supposing that they are able to get the courts to classify the judgments about upload

I know a guy who is in a very similar situation, although he's been holding out since about '15. IMO, what looks smart is doing the thing that has the correct risk/reward tradeoff, even if you happen to lose the bet.

FWIW people have been calling the top since as early as 2013. There is every reason to believe that there will be a recession tomorrow, but I also would not be surprised if this expansion extends into the early to mid 2020s. If you have th

You probably thought this was obvious, but I just want to clarify for others what "works" means. It doesn't "work" in the sense of performing as well as, e.g., 100% stocks. It's actually not even close, for mos

I don't think that necessarily implies that the inside will get dusty. For example, if the air intake had a HEPA filter with a sufficient lifetime, only particles smaller than the filter's rating would be able to enter the body

This is all well and good, except that you cannot easily plant 1000 trees and ensure they continue to exist in mature form forever. At least, you cannot for most values of "you." Maintaining 1000 mature trees is not a trivial ma
