    Ah nice! Well, hats off this is really impressive. As other commenters mentioned the extent to which it's documented and the restricted scope probably helped.

    Amazing work. I'm interested in the choice of WASM - presumably any target that can run DOOM could've been used? Of which there are innumerable choices I assume. Was it for symboli…

    You might be right that they're similarly powerful. In some cases, an arbitrary output format might in and of itself be desirable. Like it might result in token savings or be more …

    FWIW, llama.cpp has always had a JSON schema -> GBNF converter, although it launched as a companion script. Now I think it's more integrated in the CLI and server. But yeah I mean,…

    Similar approach to llama.cpp under the hood - they convert the schema to a grammar. Llama.cpp's implementation was specific to the ggml stack, but what they've built sounds simila…

    Awesome to see work in the DB wire compatible space. On the MySQL side, there was MySQL Proxy ( https://github.com/mysql/mysql-proxy ), which was scriptable with Lua, with which yo…

    In fact it looks like there are already browser extensions that do this for Markdown: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdown-viewer/ck... https://chrome.google.com/webs…

    There's a proposal for this: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-partial-application

    It just navigated the page itself by assigning window.location.href, which isn't subject to the same restrictions as popups.

    Yeah, the inclusion criteria are pretty broad: The snapshot will include every repo with any commits between the announcement at GitHub Universe on November 13th and 02/02/2020, ev…

    Apparently the Saguache Crescent in Colorado is (as of this video in 2016) still using the linotype, the last known newspaper in the US to do so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN…

    Code sharing really only becomes a compelling argument if you're building browser games or something similarly interactive (i.e., really bloody interactive). In this case, you need…

    Indeed. Linear Lisp promises the same thing ( http://www.deepdyve.com/lp/association-for-computing-machine... ) and perhaps Linear Joy ( http://osdir.com/ml/lang.concatenative/2005…

    Yeah, it doesn't seem to be a complete solution. My client actually ended up deploying a virtualized IE8 to sit alongside IE6 on all workstations.

    Comment #2289191

    That exists, it's called 'Compatibility Mode'. And by default (at least in IE8, at my current client's deployment) it uses it for all Intranet Sites. You can also use meta-tag 'X-U…

    You could just write a mixed-mode assembly to bridge V8 to the .NET thread pool and libraries...
