That would be shared ownership again.

The fundamental problem here is shared memory / shared ownership. If you assign exclusive ownership of all accounting data to a single thread and use CSP to communicate transfers, all of these made up problems go away.

Your reasoning seems counter intuitive as back in 2012 Facebook rewrote their HTML5 based app to native iOS code, optimized for performance, and knowingly took the feature parity hit. https://engineering.fb.com/2014/1

To add to that, a lot of business context is stuck in people‘s heads. To reach the level of a human engineer, the coding agent would have to autonomously reach out and ask them directed questions.

While this is great for end users, this just shows again what kind of monopoly Google has over the web by owning Chrome. I work at a company that also happens to run a CDN and the sheer amount of layers Google forces everyone to put onto th

At computerenhance.com[0] Casey Muratori shows that memory mapped files actually perform worse at sequential reads, which is the common case for file access. That’s because the CPU won’t prefetch data as effectively and has to rely on page

> Remember that code that clearly solves just those problems is in no way a hack. I think you can’t stress this point enough. In my experience anything that is not implemented by any norm or „clean“ or in an unusual way is considered a h

Apps should be required to ask for permission to access specific domains. Similar to the tracking protection, Apple introduced a while ago. Not sure how this could work for browsers, but the other 99% of apps I have on my phone should work

This has been something I’ve been curious about for a long time, so thanks for the write up. When it comes to system design, we often ignore what modern hardware is capable of and ignore fundamentals like fsyncs/s or more generally IOP

The issue is that GCed languages get a bad rep, while the amount of allocated and freed objects is the same in GCed and non-GCed languages.

For one-shot programs like Babel, Prettier, Terser, etc. mentioned in this article, I don‘t see how the lack of a garbage collector is a strong argument for an alternative language.

by philippta 2y ago
Parsing a JSON document for example will create an unknown amount of temporary heap allocated objects, that later will need to be freed up.

by philippta 2y ago
Just because a language doesn’t have a garbage collector doesn’t mean you don’t create any garbage to collect.

Because the latter would incur a hidden O(n) computation.

I think the main two questions everyone need clarified are: 1. Can I get sued by a 3rd party when using AI generated work in my project? 2. Can I sue a 3rd party when they use my AI generated work in their project?

I never struggle with flexbox itself. But getting a flexbox right in which the content overflows is always a mystery to me. If anyone has a guide or spec how overflow rules apply in CSS, please share.

I‘ve started building a new web app (not website) using Go and jQuery, all loaded from a CDN without any build step. Writing JavaScript the imperative way (rather than declarative like react) feels very refreshing.
