From what I understand, Salsify requires a unique connection for each device being served a stream. Therefore (like WebRTC) you can't cache frames in a CDN; and each viewer requires a connection to the origin. This gets a little expens

From a performance standpoint it’s way better to have stdlib grow as opposed to JS bundles. Modules aren’t shared within a page so you’d end up with a lot of duplicated code that the user would have to continuously download and parse.

Please stop using gzip size for these sorts of comparisons. One, gzip affects download speed, but not JS evaluation and compilation. Two, it makes the libraries seem much smaller than they actually are.

> There are going to be many current NYC citizens who simply switch jobs to Amazon. Therefore they won't contribute any incremental tax increase. How about for tech workers to get a raise? Or to move to a different part of the city?

Why can't they create jobs and make a difference in NYC? Plenty of underrepresented developers and future developers in NYC who will benefit from these new jobs.

Do you really believe that there isn't a tech sector in NYC aside from FAANG? Google, Facebook, and Twitter have been here for years (to name a few), along with tons of other startups.

Hey, I was also at Demuxed last year! I help maintain Hls.js; it should have some form of LHLS support by soon(tm). There's no standard yet so actual adoption will be tough (current implementations use non-standard EXT-X tags to signal

JS will stick around because it is easier to write. WASM will be for heavy lifting, not for making a modal pop up.

I wrote this [1] guide on how to reduce the size of your JS bundles via transpiler optimizations. There's a lot you can do to write code which results in less boilerplate from your toolchain. It also covers code splitting via webpack a

For better or worse? I've avoided classes in our codebase because I don't like the lack of privates via closure (revealing module pattern) and it's transpiler overhead, but it's a very powerful organization tool. I'

I like the BoroJS family of meetups. Their schtick is "people focused" javascript. Good talks, venues, and interesting company. But sometimes it can feel a bit cliquey because the organizers are obviously good friends. http:&#x2F

I've tried recording WebAudio output and it's actually really hard. I think you'd have to store a representative data structure rather than the data coming from the nodes.
