Workers works pretty differently than regular script. The way it is being loaded, how to import other scripts into worker and have it communicate with your main thread (window) is quite a standard on its own, it is just that it happens to u

> Instead of downloading the entire app before users can use it, code splitting allows you to split your code into small chunks which you can then load on demand. You need to make a business case that your whole application is modularly

Which is what popular setup like create-react-app and alikes are against. It doesn't make too much sense for more heavy application like interactive editors to have multiple artificially split files just to conform with this limit.

> Per-script max size: 50KiB That is quite small actually... My application (internal use, not consumer facing, so no panic) has a single packed script file, that is around 100KB.

Agree. But Google puts such moral handcuffs on itself, hardly worthy of any sympathy.

But RNNs are losing its edge over sequence modeling against fully attentional techniques like Transformer, at least it seems to be the consensus right now, Transformer, when done right, offers better performance.

> How? Simplest scenario, the read-increment-write cycle with 2 threads. Even with a mutex, it is still possible to have data race, if the lock is on per operation level. For the second part, yep, it is a mistake, not processes, but thre

If we are ever going to get rid of GIL, we need to get rid of Python's C extensions all together. It is not a real Python implementation if not compatible with C extension, it is just embedded DSL that has Python flavor syntax.

Why would not having a CTO symbolize Google's strategy shift from tech? Google has more than enough talented tech visionaries at high levels in each of its sub organizations, probably overpopulated with such. I don't think Google

I think Visual programming is OK when your control flow is linear, and doesn't have too many branches. However, when your control flow contains primitives like break/continue/try-catch, it can get pretty messy very quickly.

If something is broken, best way to start fixing it is to stop pretending it is still working. Good move.

I think by this announcement, it is probably safe to say, even at the size of Twitter, it is probably still more economical to handle your operations to bigger players. Hosting your own infrastructure makes less and less sense going forward

It will be simplistic to assume such decision is tech-driven. Per my experience, it is mostly business driven. Who offers the best deal with the lowest price, gets the business. You'd be surprised, if you are a big enough customer, eve
