That's rather trivial with Deno.run, here I just wrote a gist for that out of curiosity: https://gist.github.com/zandaqo/93004fb265146a95aadb28ec851a...

WASM has its moments, as you can see in this[1] benchmark it outperforms JS and native addons on certain tasks. Since the bottleneck with native addons is usually data copying/marshalling, and we have direct access to WebAssembly memor

Node has always supported native addons, and since 2017 it also provides a stable ABI making the process a whole lot easier[1]. That said, in my own experience it was seldom worth it to rewrite something in C++ for performance sake. After r

A few years ago I did similar comparison but in context of Node.js and sans manual optimizations: https://github.com/zandaqo/iswasmfast In my work, I have come to conclusion that it seldom pays off to go "native&q

Indeed. I remember that, I have been using node since the very early days, and switched to it for precisely that reason--that I could use the same language through my web application. Nevertheless, when we did get those modern web API, Node

This. I started tinkering with node shortly after I heard Ryan introduce it at JSConf EU, and it was a very different world, not much for Node to draw from on the browser side, no modules, no promises, not even TypedArrays IIRC.

The often overlooked selling point of Deno that I find most compelling is the (re)use of web APIs. As a full-stack dev writing isomorphic code and libraries, dealing with ideosincracies of nodejs has been a pain.

I'm a voracious audiobook consumer and get my books in all forms and shapes. At some point, I got tired of organizing them and decided to put them in my Calibre library, re-encoding each book first into a single file preferably with ch

That's an apt observation, actually. I used to practice mind palace when I had to memorize lists, and I do feel more comfortable when information is "physically" placed somewhere like a page, I guess it's all connected.

Maybe it's simply a force of habit at this point, but I can only read/study/memorize technical stuff from PDF/paginated source--I memorize the overall "picture" of the page and it's location along with the

I understand that, I mean the matter-energy balance in the universe at the moment accounts 5% to ordinary matter, 26% to dark matter and the rest to dark energy. Since we now assume there are less stars, hence, ordinary matter, but the gala

Does this mean there is "more" dark energy since we still have all the effects of extra matter but less visible matter?

If I understand this correctly, mushrooms can eat the carbohydrates in oil and oil products. I wonder what happens to metals mixed in the oil, do mushroom suck those in as well or somehow filter them and leave in the ground? Old oil well an

I wonder why no one tries to colonize Antarctica as a stepping stone for future space colonization. We can test and develop our greenhouse and energy tech there. E.g. create a colony that gets all its energy from solar and uses it to grow g

So, tl;dr answer is that it's because those amino acids are more eager to react/polymerize. I wonder what it means for exobiology, is this true only in Earth conditions or in general, i.e. can we expect life elsewhere to use the s
