Oh, yeh, don't get me wrong. I meant impossibly expensive to drop into a mid range car with no scaling up from a higher value lower volume product range first.

I think is really interesting how it's often suggested Waymo is at a disadvantage over Tesla due to its reliance on LIDAR and the costs associated with it. But the reality is that it's enabled Waymo to move faster and gain signifi

This is a great comparison, but it depends so much on what sort of website or web app you are building. If you are building a content site, with the majority of visitors arriving without a hot cache bundle size is obviously massively import

Software is very easy to bloat, expand scope, and grow to do more than really needed, or just to release apps that are then forgotten about. Hardware is naturally limited in scope due to manufacturing costs, and doesn't "grow&quot

This record and replay trick is very similar to what I recently used to implement the query DSL for Tanstack DB ( https://tanstack.com/db/latest/docs/guides/live-queries ). We pass a RefProxy object into t

Really interesting post, and well done on setting up the Apples to Oranges nature of the benchmark, you're very clear. It's really interesting to see the deference the district architectures make. Did you run any tests with the ne

Do drop into the discord and let me know who you are there. Would love to hear your take on react-native support.

Web workers don't share memory (other than SAB) with the main thread, they are far from traditional threads. These APIs are designed the way they are to protect end users, stop sites from consuming resources or bad code blocking the ma

The point of the js engine sandbox is to protect the user in the browser - it's completely redundant on the server. Supply chain attacks are real, but only Deno has tried to fix that through permissions/rules. I don't think a

This is a really great write up! I work at Electric and started the PGlite and now Tanstack DB projects. The issues mentioned with PGlite are one of the major motivating factors behind Tanstack DB. We are taking those learnings and building

Oliver is doing awesome work here. A few interesting points: - Porffor can use typescript types to significantly improve the compilation. It's in many ways more exciting as a TS compiler. - There's no GC yet, and likely will be a

Porffor is doing that, JS -> WASM (an an IR) -> C -> Native For TypeScript it uses the types as hints to the compiler, for example it has int types that alias number. Very early still, but very cool. https://porffor.dev&

There is a lot valid concern on accessibility and abuse this could result in, but it think it's important to see the other side of the argument. There was a really good thread on Twitter a couple of days ago: > In light of recent Fi

Personally I feel this is backwards - I don't want access to js literals and objects from WASM, I just want a way to wrap an arbitrary array buffer that contains a utf16 string as a js string. It keeps WASM simple and provides a thin l

It's great that the rust community are finding ways to improve the performance of decoding strings from WASM to js, it's one of the major performance holes you hit when using WASM. The issue comes down to the fact that even if you

Along with the others mentioned, it's worth highlighting Yjs. It's an incredible CRDT toolkit that enables many of the realtime and async collaborative editing experience you want from local-first software. https://yjs.
