In V8, small machine integers are signed 31bit integers on 32bit architectures and signed 32bit integers on 64bit architectures.

Background music is much too loud in the introductory video. Makes it difficult to hear the presenter.

It could still be better, but C++ compilers have never been as compatible or interchangeable as they are now.

As others have pointed out, it's not quite a quine and just some silly JavaScript that reads out its source from the DOM and feeds it back into a copy of Itty Bitty's URL generation algorithm.

Caching the length property appears to have only a small impact on performance across Chrome, Firefox and Safari (caching is faster in Firefox, slower in Chrome, and about the same in Safari). Perhaps it's better to recommend the non-c

It's relatively straightforward for self modifying code to manually flush instruction caches when necessary and JIT compilers that target other architectures already satisfy this requirement. Only backwards compatibility with existing

Does Comcast's implementation of this system respect Cache-Control: no-transform as specified in RFC 2616?

Seems hardly legacy if it's the rendering pipeline used in all browsers' current release versions. (and I say this as a WebRender enthusiast)

This appears to be the metric that Chrome for Android uses to track how long it takes to verify code signing on downloaded APK's. Or possibly does, rather—open source Chromium doesn't reference the metric at all and it would take

But they aren't free and if the file size is sufficiently small, the overhead of the constant overhead of the additional syscalls will dwarf the variable overhead of the extra copy. FreeBSD/OS X's sendfile allows specifying a

4KB is the size of a page on x86 and most architectures, the smallest unit of memory the OS can dispense. SSL termination is definitely a function you don't want the kernel to swap to disk, therefore each connection would get at least

Apple is slowly migrating a massive amount of system features out of private frameworks and into background daemons protected by entitlements or privacy prompts. The end goal is that all sensitive data or hardware features are completely in
