Exactly this. And there are few bigger targets than Chrome when it comes to finding exploits (OSes and network equipment are probably on par). I'm sure they have devoted large comp…

I completely agree. With everything from Out-Of-Order execution, deep pipelines, SIMD, huge CPU cache, etc... I would be surprised if the performance increase is not considerably m…

I'd prefer if it just used the system webview rather than downloading and managing an embedded browser itself. Webview2 on Windows for example.

You're not wrong - I see about 10 of these a day driving around. And that's a car model that is only about a year old. It's selling like hot cakes.

Exactly - or encrypted payloads hiding inside standard image file formats. Basically steganography. If all you want to send is a small encrypted text message, it should be possible…

I see this slightly differently. Before, if I wanted to be able to do something like flash firmware onto some device I would have to download some random C++ application and instal…

I really like the minimal approach you've taken here - it's refreshing to see this built completely from the ground up and it's clearly readable and for me, very educational. But h…

Instant SEPA is free - see Instant Payments Regulation (IPR) — Regulation (EU) 2024/886.

So, this certainly was a valid argument. But it seems to me that the whole value proposition behind these agentic AI coding tools is to be able to move beyond this. Are we very far…

It's possible to build an identity system that can assert certain properties about a person (eg. "older than 16") without revealing any other details about that person. Similarly, …

Doesn't Apple have an ARM "Architectural License" arising from being one of the original founding firms behind ARM, which they helped create back in the 90s for the Apple Newton. T…

It's interesting to think that Google's Antigravity is a forked version of MSFT's VS Code, which uses a browser engine built by Google, which they forked from Apple, which they for…

I would have expected that consumer GPUs still have higher volume, but that Datacenter GPUs have much, much higher margin and therefore significantly higher revenue and profit. Is …

It also seems like a really bad decision from Slack's POV. 1) They should know that this is unaffordable for a nonprofit like this. By doing this, they will almost certainly lose t…

JSON Web Tokens are part of the JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) family of standards which are really just containers for cryptographic primitives in a web-friendly repres…

Enterprise customers often have split tunnel VPNs or proxies (with PAC configs) where part of the traffic may go through a VPN and another part goes directly. So for example a cust…

Whenever they have, they have been bought by larger and richer (mostloy US) tech companies. Look at Deepmind, Skype, Nokia, Tandberg, etc... Arm is another (although Japanese rathe…

I agree on a level that SQLIte is a master class in testing and quality. However, considering how widely used it is (essentially every client application on the planet) and that it…

I don't think dual core was that rare in 2007. Conroe was released the year before. For gamers, dual core was the standard at that point (at least from what I remember of the time)…

I believe the impl you link to is not fully standards compliant, and has an approximate soln. MSFT's one is totally standards compliant and it is a very different beast: https://gi…

There's also the new Ryu algorithm that is being used, which is probably the biggest speed up. https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu
