It's faster than "handwritten JS" because it's using a subset of JS that's already tuned to near the peak level of performance that you can achieve in JITting JS, which is tightly looped arithmetic with everything inlined working on SMIs. I

I understand that. Take a read of this: http://mrale.ph/blog/2013/03/28/why-asmjs-bothers-me.html . I have a lot of respect for Egorov, and I agree with his views on this matter quite entirely. The sole benefit of embedding a bytecode in a

I take issue with calling this JavaScript/HTML5. This is powered by asm.js. The source is emphatically NOT JavaScript, it's a subset that's meant to be a target for compilation (like a bytecode in .NET and the JVM) and is treated entirely d

Before looking at the benchmark results, I took a glance at the Node source and I expected it to perform worse than it did previously. It does almost universally. Not only haven't the glaring perf issues remained since round 1, it's added m

As a friendly tip, this isn't your YouTube comments page for why Node.js is stupid, so we'd appreciate it if you would take the few minutes of your time and read the article before jumping to conclusions or stating facts without credible so

Without trying to get involved, I just want to point out that it is (currently) physically impossible for males to give birth. So it would appear that such a claim is implicitly identifying a gender by excluding all of the other gender.

I don't think there's a good reason such a distinction exists. You have ChromeOS and FirefoxOS, which prove that web applications given access to system APIs are just as capable as ObjectiveC and Java. But there's still a "web" vs "native"

Rebuttal: why not use tags to identify your major revisions and feature work? This way your bisect is rooted on feature releases or versions, rather than relying on git log --since. It appears the time aspect is the primary argument present

That no longer meets my expectations of a "web-based game." I would consider my expectations fairly realistic. I also believe most have always referred to games that use Flash as "Flash games." When Macromedia Flash originally became popul

All I see is lots of makeup. Might it more accurately be called a Korean Face Art Contest? But really, if we're trying to compare physical beauty, wouldn't the contest require 0 modification of it? This would likely include banning makeup,

One of my first languages was C++. I cut my teeth on Bjarne's book. These days, I'd much prefer seeing C fill such a perf-specific role. I can't stand C++, and I've read through some massive, and what most people would call "well written" c

I did all of my scripting in Windows in JS. You had full access to COM objects, which means you could do a lot of stuff out of the box. One thing I hated was that it wasn't even fully ES3 conformant (it's jscript), and it seemed not to be m

Check the Chromium blog and their bug tracker. If this were implemented, it would be hidden behind the experimental JS flag anyway.

Counter-strike has definitely gone somewhere. Compare CS 1.3 to whatever CS:Crap is currently the latest version (and note that the game has been garbage since CS 1.6). I tried UT3, but compared to UT99 or UT2003 even, it was horrible. Ther

You need to quantify "are not as effective." Is it 1000000000000x as effective? 5% more effective? If it's not boolean (such that "do not exist" is the effect), then the problem is probably significantly less severe than it would appear. Fo

That's absolutely not what happened in that subreddit. The people who took the discussions out of context and tried to make things go viral outside of that reddit were the problem makers. I watched pretty much everything that went on there,
