Every browser engine said no to that nonsense. The core issue iirc was that one of the major use cases for SVG was map/navigation systems where a number of environments required fully standardized systems. But they didn’t want to say i

I understand how inflation is measured vs things like the CPI or "basic costs for the overwhelming majority of entities and tax payers". What I am saying is that it does not make sense that the measurement that influences policy,

David (and a lot of such art) was work for hire, so the artist would have no IP rights then or now.

Exactly: a huge proportion of Disney’s historical works are for existing stories which had far less IP protection than Disney’s reproductions had.

Personally I would agree, but it's not uncommon for people to let friends/family stay at their house and contribute to expenses and rent etc, and I'm not sure how you could make a law that allowed that without airbnb changing

It remains absurd to me that the many ways inflation is measured and presented for the purpose of its impact on regular people is based almost entirely on its impact on funds with no meaningful component reflecting the impact on the overwhe

“Short term rentals” are just hotels, and should be taxed and regulated as such, including protection against BS charges and the like, zoning requirements, etc. Put some reasonable limit - say 10 days a year - after which you get to registe

Honestly IMO it's more an enabler for CVEs - it provides a mechanism for attackers to get arbitrary code exec if they can circumvent the protections on modifications to the JIT region - the bugs that are the root of the exploit seem to

Every browser devotes huge amounts of effort to PLT because that is the place where performance matters for most sites. JS interpreter perf is a significant part of the latency, which is why it's weird to me that so little effort is pl

To my knowledge Bak has not been involved in V8 for many years, but also from my direct experience the overwhelming majority of JS executed is dominated by latency rather than through put (which is Kling’s point) The original v8 was a signi

They didn’t choose to do non-Mac things, eclipse is a Java app so everything is Java’s own ui toolkit and does its own keyboard event handling and so anything built on it fails basic OS behavior that differs from their primary dev platform.

Do we get to demand a law that means that studios can’t retract sales and can’t prevent people from making usable backups of the things they buy? No? Weird…

I can’t read the article, it just gives an opening paragraph with no actual statistics but based on other comments it appears that it’s the predictable result: a chrome only web.

How do they geofence? Are you suggesting that they have code that tracks whether you’re in interesting locations and then annotates the find my info?

Oh I’d swear when I read the article it said it was a civil case (I assume I misread?) - in that case the cut and dryness of guilt (where guilt is criminal) seems more interesting. In that case maybe the employment contract was presented as

Because “AI” or LLMs have no understanding of what they’re producing, and every single attempt to use them in an environment where basic factual correctness is involved has confirmed this? Or the fact that the entire sales pitch is “this wi

The penalty for IP theft is monetary, and the monetary penalties are independent on whether it creates value. Companies routinely sue people for distributing products they literally no longer sell, it does not matter. In the same way that w

Well that's just false in this context. vec[i] Is safe in v8, blink, jsc, webkit, etc. Rust has a huge number of benefits over c++, but it hurts your argument if you refuse to acknowledge the actual environment the C++ is bein

No, you're missing the point. The whole point is you're implementing the runtime that defines the safety semantics. Your proposal is essentially "implement your JS engine GC on top of the JVM by just using the JVM's GC&q

You’re missing the point. You’re right there are unlikely to be bugs in vec, but there are also unlikely to be bugs in std::vector or WTF::Vector both of which error out on OoB (chrome/v8 uses hardened libc++). I was using `vec` as an

Yes because the attack would be against the .net or Java VM. The JVM - especially in the era of applets - had an illustrious history of VM bugs. We don’t know how bad they would have been because in the era of extremely complex exploits app
