Very true, trying to evaluate laptop CPU performance is highly deceiving. Unlike desktop parts the actual performance depends completely on the particular laptop's cooling capability, which is impossible to know from looking at the spe

WebAssembly doesn't really have anything to do with Javascript. As for being good enough now: not yet. It's getting closer, another iteration or two and I think it could settle down for a while. Also it's worth noting the rap

This might sound radical, but I think a system of compulsory licensing should be instituted. It worked for radio and it worked for physical video rental (in fact that's the reason netflix's physical rental catalog has almost every

Sure, it's entirely possible but it represents a major capital expenditure for urban municipalities, probably more than most could afford without external subsidies.

These articles keep omitting a pretty big barrier to adoption: street parking. (Maybe it's a function of US being suburb-centric? But at least the New York Times ought to know better.) One of 2 things needs to happen, either charging

One of the options I looked up after getting the email from Crashplan. Unfortunately the price is crazy, it would cost over $500/month for the amount of data I have in Crashplan for $5/month. (Granted that product is going away, b

The Unix Haters Handbook is pretty interesting reading, but I remember that the chapter on X was one of the weakest. It doesn't help that it starts with the hoary old myth that X named the 'server' and 'client' back

Yup, had an "analytics.js" in a project recently (related to an app dashboard, nothing to do with tracking) and it got blocked. Luckily I caught it right away because I have uBlock installed in the same browser I do development in

I'm continually surprised that Bittorrent is still relying on content indexing websites. The edonkey community solved this problem years ago with fully distributed search that only relies on the peers themselves[0]. Can anyone with ins

That's what Babel[0] is for. Realistically you can't rely on native ES2016 for any target audience yet, but with Babel you can blissfully live in the future, today :) Also, thrown in core-js[1] while you're at it. [0] https:
