A (niche) use may be to compile for NativeClient, to provide better responsiveness if you're doing large templated live-previews (though admittedly this is more sensible with formatting like markdown rather than templating).

I think the main issues were accessibility, IE support without a canvas stand-in which could be very slow, and accessibility. Also, general rendering is pretty speedy on all browsers, whereas canvas rendering was pretty variable until recen

Ace is gradually gaining full IDE features like syntax checking, split views, and responsive behaviours such as auto-brace/bracket/parens insertion. If you want an online-only workflow, Cloud9 already offers github as a backend for an Ace p

I've contributed some changes and documentation to Ace, really awesome project, great to see it hitting Github! Support for IE<9 older browsers is a little sketchy at the moment, but hopefully greater exposure through github will see mo

Unfortunately it's a lot of smaller charts and they're embedded in an SVG based diagram interface as foreignObjects, which doesn't support a WebGL context (in Chrome at least). I'd love to play with WebGL, but not usable for this task. Writ

And here I am trying to get a bunch of 2d lines rendering quickly in a 2d canvas for some charts. So strange to me that something 'simple' like drawing 20,000 lines chugs along at ~20fps and a water simulation with caustics is there running

Looks like the dosbox is loaded depending on which version of chrome you're running, and there's only 12 and 13 up, so 14/15 tries to get a file that doesn't exist. Bit of silly coding, given the ABI is fixed from 13 onwards.

Deferring javascript loading definitely makes sense when you're loading a really heavy chunk of script that doesn't need to be around immediately. I saw load times drop from ~500-600ms to ~150ms with use of LABjs, as the server was renderin

Quick few points * Using scroll for zoom in a 2d workspace probably makes sense with a mouse, but with the macbook touchpad it was rather annoying to be unable to pan around (as moving quickly around is rather a benefit to flicking through

'Collections should keep track of their views' seems badly explained. You're not keeping references to views on a collection, you're keeping a reference to subviews inside a view that uses a collection. The code is correct, and agnostic to

It's just an additional alias in the grammar, no real measurable slow down given the size of the parser as is.

2 lines in the parser: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/Zend/zend_langua... The RFC ( https://wiki.php.net/rfc/shortsyntaxforarrays ) was actually rejected by the developers, I think it's only really been put in to appease larg

I'm rather wary of emulating Safari here.. The new two finger default page gesture is proving rather problematic for the web-app I'm currently working on (which has a workspace larger than the screen which you can scroll around). If you scr

Point 7 seems like the biggest for me. Recently wanted to plan/discuss a few days away with the family. A shared google calendar with a circle and discussion around that would be superb for such things.

Well, yes, but it comes with all the overhead of being a (partly) flawed language. Having a bytecode that allows, for instance, optional static and dynamic types would be much more direct than relying on type inference or separate native AP

by vmind 15y ago
Some kind of flexible bytecode implemented across browsers would be fantastic, and you could always implement a fallback interpreter in javascript (or if feeling fancy, a decompiler).

by vmind 15y ago
I think the issue with Clojure is that it does runtime bytecode rewriting for macros, so to get the whole language working on android they had to bundle the dalvik translator as well.

They're adding Group Policy support and msi installers ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YkEUpJQP3o&feature=playe... ). There's not a lot of detail there but they're not ignoring it.

It's also confusing to note they don't mention whether they even contacted the authors of the paper to see if an implementation (even partial) had been made, or clarification could be provided on implementation details.

A general idea is to 'compile' user queries to a lucene query with the various default options that give the best search, and not to use raw lucene queries from the user. The knobs need to be there for turning, whether you expose those knob

Am I right in thinking that, with an embedded database such as Neo4j, I would be required to use the server standalone and use the remote capabilities from a separate JVM in order to escape the virility of the license? (And if distributing,

Have you considered LuaJIT instead of v8? Given you are using v8 as a target VM for compiling another language to javascript, and lua is quite similar, although if other javascript libraries are used that could be a major factor. (This is a

Would it be possible to use pushState as the main mechanism on the client, and use a #! as a fallback? You would end up with two different possible URLs, but if the same library handles the calls then it would be fairly straightforward to m

This just looks like a great way to make your back-end depend on your front-end. AJAX calls are usually best served in an API like manner (here's some data, do what you like). This lets you iterate on the client without messing with the ser
