It's for proper integration of garbage collected languages -- otherwise you need to embed your GC too, which bloats the wasm. JS host VMs have very good GCs these days, so hooking …

I don't see how it's any different than using any hosting provider. It's probably worth encrypting your databases, but if you don't trust your hosting provider you're hosed -- mana…

swc ( https://github.com/swc-project/swc ) is a rust equivalent to babel and has a bundler under development. Not sure how far along it is. That would be an interesting comparison …

It would be interesting to see a raw selenium comparison -- WDIO is slower with both backends, it could be that selenium and puppeteer are both about as fast, and the performance d…

Same with postgres. I never use specific lengths for text on postgres.

It's not part of rustup. At least for the VSCode plugin, it'll prompt you to download when it first runs. As long as you've got a working rust installation it'll work pretty seamle…

I don't think this is accurate. Other people may know better, but from my understanding the maintainers of ifconfig realized that to update it to use the new behavior, they would h…

You can only test for cases that you forsee and predict. The advantage of staging environments is you can see many of the cases you never predicted before it hits customers.

BigInts are coming to Javascript -- they're supported in most browsers and in node now, but they haven't officially been added to the standard.

Software hasn't been getting worse -- it always sucked. It used to be fast and small because there was no other option. Also: > @jckarter: A DOS program can be made to run unmodifi…

Unfortunately this change has resulted in something very confusing: there's a stretch of 295 going to/from the PA border in NJ that is labeled 295 North, but will take you south (o…

The main thing I wish google would take from apple, is not a place to show off and sell their devices, but an easy place to go get support on those devices.

I agree that raw callbacks can get out of hand, but the typical solution in js is to use an event emitter ( http://nodejs.org/api/events.html ) or promises (like https://github.com…

neither is LTE (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G#Technical_definition ). Although both are marketed as 4G. LTE is usually faster than HSDPA+, but neither one is actually 4G.

you're right for x86. For arm secure boot cannot be turned off.

The thing about privilege though, is that it's not about difficulty in life. Someone can have a very difficult life and be very privileged in many ways. Consider someone that is a …
