Browser users. Pre Mv3 extensions were a huge vector for malware. My in-laws were hit by that.

Yeah, I think calling the Mv3 versions "secure adblockers" would be more accurate.

The speaker is right. Why should "system" interfaces and interfaces from other components ever be fundamentally different?

There is an issue open for instantiating modules at runtime: https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model/issues/423

I'm using it for a secure, language agnostic workflow orchestrator. Components have very finely-grained and controller permissions and access to data. They don't even get clocks by default (to mitigate against Spectre-style attack

The component model is what unlocks relatively type-safe interop between modules written in different languages. Given that Wasm is a runtime target for many languages, this is an entirely appropriate and useful goal. If you have a host sys

These should really be web components. Leaving out every framework other than React is really bad for the web.

I don't use Apple Music, so opening their music player only wastes my attention and time. It happens if you accidentally press play on your headphones too. Then you need to quit Apple Music, for no good reason. And you can't unins

Angular should ditch the compiler altogether - it really hinders them in so many ways, especially now with AI-codegen where tools have to specifically choose to do the work to integrate the Angular toolchain instead of using plain TypeScr

I don't think you're fully saying what you want to here. Are you saying this is bad? The point of a component model is interoperability, so the more runtimes that support it the better.

by spankalee 4mo ago
It will be really great if this becomes a second popular runtime with both GC and WASI component model support. Wasmtime being the only runtime with that combo is a bit concerning. Node supporting the component model will help a lot too.

That really isn't true. I know people who run their own PDSes, and who've moved their accounts from Bluesky's to their own and back. You can't do that kind of thing with Mastodon. Blacksky also runs their own PDS, relay,

Wow, Google really fumbled this. After reading the blog post I clicked the update button and the whole app was replaced, without much warning, with this conversation UI. It was even more jarring than I expected from the post because I figur

If Perplexity replaced Google as the way people searched for things, then they would, and sites would still take a hit to their traffic from Google losing users.

by spankalee 5mo ago
It is interesting to look at the past predictions on here of AI search/answer companies like Perplexity possibly dethroning Google search and comparing to the reactions of Google just doing the same thing themselves. Why would it be go

atproto apparently has some real advantages over ActivityPub in terms of data portability. Similar to Bluesky vs Mastodon, with Mastodon you're fairly strongly coupled to your server, you' can't just move your data and retain

It's a huge miss for this article to not talk about atproto, Tangled, and how protocols can solve the fragmentation issues - both between different services and by allowing projects to run their own host while being connected to the ne

How does being a net exporter even help? There's a global market and prices rise globally. US companies and consumers will pay more no matter if we're importing or exporting.

The China point doesn't make any sense to me. High oil prices only accelerate China's transition to renewables, and rewards them for all the investment they've made so far, both in national energy production and in selling pa

Waymo does have a database of every today they drive, but for this they don't need one. If the car comes to a road covered with water, and that road is in the database, and the water level appears low compared to the historical level

This runs Android, not ChromeOS, so the Chromebook name doesn't fit. That said, Googlebook is a terrible name and reusing Pixelbook would have been way better.

For one, I got to see how utterly insane and off-base many of the conspiracy theories around Chrome were compared to reality.

Given all the negative comments here - what is anyone's alternate solution for AI-driven fraudulent activity? CAPTCHAs are increasingly ineffective. Services are either going to go offline or implement some kind of system like this. PI

You don't think that some people simply disagree with the idea that this is bad? Or like maybe the CAPTCHA company who put out the post has an agenda here? So you want to go after engineers personally? I wonder what you've done th

Yeah, Mise has caching: https://mise.jdx.dev/cache-behavior.html I'm a massive fan of Wireit and its caching behavior, so I'm looking for something to live up to that. I have more testing to do. I think Mise def

We just started exploring Mise as a (much) simpler alternative to Nix + Bazel for a polyglot monorepo. One of my concerns was about how well maintained Mise would be given that it's mostly a single maintainer, so I think this is good n

css-doodle's syntax has a lot of non-standard-CSS stuff in it. All the @ things are extensions.

This is made with (and by the author of) <css-doodle>, a web component that lets you put the CSS variant used in this blog inline into your HTML, like so: <script src="https://esm.sh/css-doodle/css-d
