If it’s a simple change, they might accept a PR. If it isn’t, well that’s your answer. Not worth allocating engineers for it.

The typescript language server (along with the rest of the compiler) is being rewritten in go for Typescript 7. This work has been going on in parallel with the work on 6.0. The go…

All non-enterprise big tech uses of passkeys (Google, Apple & Microsoft Accounts), do not require an attestation statement (or in spec-parlance, use the `None` or `Self` Attestatio…

CBOR isn't a hobby spec. It's integral to the WebAuthn API spec. Every time someone uses a passkey, CBOR is used to exchange messages with the authenticator

This is a great approach for components that want to inherit all styling from their context. In cases where you want to introduce just a little styling, the CSS Parts API is really…

Well, this is only sort of true. When you’re writing HTML you’re restricted to attributes but custom elements are JavaScript objects and are free to respond to property updates on …

You can absolutely follow a discipline like this which recreates this separation in a framework that lacks it

Please remember that Web Components are much more akin to an ABI for web projects and not a full-featured framework. Any web component easily plugs into React, svelte, lit, etc. Ex…

Web Components are really just the minimal APIs required to allow the implementation of new HTML elements. This includes things like: - Responding to being attached to the DOM - En…

> They are not even in the same arena as React. This is 100% correct. I think a lot of the disappointment about web components comes from a mismatch in expectation between the spec…

As someone who just had to answer this for my startup, the value of React is that it's robust and immensely hire-able. If you're looking for frontend developers, the one thing you …

> You don't need those in React either. I mean... sometimes you do, that's why they exist. But yeah, most of the time you don't. > Whatever you do in Web Components can probably (m…

Forgot to mention, the knock-on effect of this thought process is that if you want to adopt web components, you still need a templating approach. And you'll find that most of your …

I've found webcomponents to be really good at encapsulating anything that doesn't directly query application state. Specifically there are two type of components that really thrive…

Really cool to see these issues are on the roadmap. I remain skeptical on timeline for these but if the plans speed up dev time work out, then this is great news.

After using Rocket in production for a year now. I'd really recommend Actix Web. Don't get me wrong, Rocket has some really nice features and good UI, but a couple things have prov…

Dependencies in package.json are essentially just links to the npm CDN. (admittedly with a constraint solver in front that determines the exact link to use). `npm install` is equiv…

One of the authors of FaCT here. This is a great question, because at first blush it feels like it might. movfuscator creates a branch-less program. But my guess is that we’ll run …

Hey, one of the paper authors here, this has been a serious problem in the past (and present), but is definitely improving. For example, intel’s docs state that cmove is constant-t…

Hey, one of the paper authors here. If the compiler stopped here, yes this would be an error, but subsequent transformations (described in section 4.2) eliminate the branch ensurin…

Hey just a heads up, on the web (or at least in CSS) px is resolution independent. It represents 1/96th of an inch [1]. The web has physical, font-relative, and viewport-relative l…

I dont think Rust traps on overflow in release builds

This seems like an odd choice... do you know the rationale? (or have a link to an issue/RFC I could go read)

Don't forget that if it works over http(s), it's a lot easier to build a web interface for, and that's a big win for ease of use!
