Yes the VM discussed is similar to JVM

It literally does come out cheaper. It’s referred to as the LCOE - you can look at the data yourself

In the timeframe of the duration of the installation. (Total cost for the whole project + total costs for fuels & maintainance) / (kW generated * lifetime of the project)

Solar + batteries is still cheaper than nuclear

Solar is much cheaper than nuclear. Italian new builds need to add solar panels. Nuclear isn’t a bad option too. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket

The article is definitely wrong on the DSL being able to be replaced by some function call. You need to be able to do conditional rendering in a convenient way. The way SwiftUI’s DSL works means a lot of dynamic equality checks for updates

The EU makes the machines that make the chips Also in Taiwan these machines are fitted with bombs that will detonate if they’re invaded

You can criticise the government in any way you like You can't incite violence - and if you do that when there's a riot ongoing, the punishment has resulted in jail time. Anything nazi related is also a no-go

I've been working since about 2016 to try and make the best calculator app. There are many apps that have fantastic UIs, and many apps that have a wide breadth of features - but very few that do both. My aim since the start has been to

The price does seem very high. It’s probably a niche product and I’d imagine developers are the ones who would see the biggest savings. Hopefully it works out for them

Yeah but with JS you’re already miles away from that sort of instruction-level efficiency. For example, if it’s a object, you have to try and coerce it to a number

V8 seems to go through a lot of hoops just to avoid NaN boxing like JSC and Spider Monkey

You can't please everyone. Do note these are only sent when something goes wrong in the app. To give you an indication of how little I collect, for the last 30 days, I can see 3,700 app sessions (only includes people who opted into App

The only network requests are for currency rates, and Sentry crash logs. I don’t collect analytics other than these crash logs https://jacobdoescode.com/privacy

I've put a lot of effort into mine, TechniCalc I've been working on it for what will be a decade later this year. It tries to take all the features you had on these physical calculators, but present them in a modern way. It works

The UK has some of the strangest VAT laws in the world. Gingerbread men with small chocolate icing eyes are VAT exempt, but if you decorate it more, you do need to charge VAT. Then we have chocolate buttons, which are only VAT exempt unless

It’ll take a lot longer in the EU. You need fingerprints taken there

A bit of background on this project: it was started by the guy leading BuckleScript (now ReScript), the OCaml to JS compiler.

Honestly, I’d like the UK to go heavily in favour of data mining. I think a lot of copyright holders are just trying a money grab because AI is a rapidly growing industry

Looks like it

Just to add some JS engine info - every engine stores numbers as 32 bit integers if possible, which is usually done by tagging a pointer. Also, JSC needs pointers to be represented exactly as-is, because it will scan the stack for anything

The exact opposite. Mozilla is no longer allowed to receive a payment from Google to be the default search engine, and that payment was 90% of their revenue

Do you not have fixes for other browsers too?

by jacobp100 2y ago
Depends what you’re looking at. They’re very fast at CSS and JS language features They adopt new web APIs much more cautiously - or they drag their feet - depending on your perspective

The machines are produced in Europe. Won’t this just lead to a retaliatory ban on exporting machines to Taiwan?

I used this at a company that was going all in on micro frontends. You’d clone whatever MFE repos you want, and it would manage package installs, building, and restarting the server after a rebuild. Worked great!

Noexcept is the biggest scam. It basically wraps every call to a noexcept function in a try/catch, and calls terminate in the catch. Actively harmful for performance
