We already tried JVM in browsers, remember java applets? I sure remember the security and compatibility problems :) WASM has been designed from the ground up with portability, security, and stability in mind. It is also a lower target than

the chrome team released a similar tool a few months ago ( https://squoosh.app ). I'm curious how these compare.

I've had a 1+1, 1+3, and 1+5, and I never had this issue on any of them.

Oh yes, i meant that sometimes a paradigm is unused, not that one prevents the other.

by snek 7y ago
To this point, JS has been very careful to not get in the way of functional programming, as it doesn't really try to stick to a specific paradigm. There is even a proposal to add pipielines: https://github.com/tc39&#x2F

If you somehow feel that firefox is moving too slowly (check the vcs history its very active) you can always contribute yourself, it's OSS :)

Friendly reminder that this is not a violation of free speech. https://xkcd.com/1357/ This is actually censorship. However, I personally believe that groups that incite violence should be censored.

The biggest issue is that google is forcing websites to use its own html subset by judging sites that use it instead of by judging sites based on actual speed. There are a lot of posts on HN about sites that got no speed increase or even re

If Google didn't penalize sites that don't use AMP, and instead just measured response, paint, etc times and such, I would agree with you.

Normally I'd rush to Chrome's defense here (see my post history) but I have to agree with others about Chrome kind of breaking the process here. Other browser vendors have large concerns with this spec, so it's quite surprisi

I can definitely agree here, It's really disheartening to see this. When I saw this headline I first thought it was Cloudflare using some sort of cool trick to redirect users back to the proper non-amp page, but was just met with disap

by snek 7y ago
Could Cloudflare accept a request header that would load up the full page instead of the AMP one? I suspect many people would use such a feature, and it would also be a good way to indicate to Google (and now it seems, Cloudflare as well) t

It's a side effect of the design of WebAssembly, as long as wasmer itself has a conformant implementation (the WASM spec itself is already formally verified).

by snek 8y ago
The reason I have gotten from google employees is that the top stories carousel preloads content, and that in order to preload content without leaking a user's searches, google needs to serve their own cached version of a page. in orde

I'm not discounting the language at all, by your comment here perhaps some application of a common mathematical function such as an average or the fibonacci sequence would be a good front page example.
235.
by snek 8y ago
that just makes me more curious about what J looks like. and maybe a hello world isn't the best example for every language, but there should be some small example you can show.
236.
by snek 8y ago
why does no programming language website ever include an example of the language? just a hello world or whatever would go a huge way. this annoys me so much.

We're getting there. I made both node and web streams into async iterables, and have now proposed this for js standardisation: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers

it uses a lot of infrastructure that node doesn't have, like Request objects and Response objects and Body objects and mime checking etc etc list goes on. if someone feels like adding all those things to node and feels like arguing wit

it's not just promises. as the maintainers of request continue trying to try to fix architectural bugs they are finding it would be easier to rewrite it from scratch rather than continue modifying the current one. this is said in about

Just write idiomatic code, it's what all the major engines try to optimize for.
