I'm not sure using pytorch counts as "from scratch" anymore. I'm not saying you should avoid the stdlib or anything crazy, but at the point where you're pulling in for-purpose libr…

Oh, so, I recently had opportunity to play around with this some, a bit over the past week. My initial questions were along the lines of: 1. What's the point? In end-to-end encrypt…

Yeah, a big benefit of SQLite is the fact that it's embeddable, and easily can be communicated with from any language that can FFI out to C (which is to say, essentially any langua…

No real reason to call nintendo out here, every console i know of has been that way for many generations.

What are your recommendations for japanese, out of curiosity

It is something I miss a great deal when on other OSes

Sounds like much more work than implementing a wasm vm+runtime. Besides, isn’t it owned by a company who is notoriously litigious against reimplementations?

a single existing implementation is a problem, not a feature for the web platform

Can you not disable wasm? That seems like an oversight that should be fixed if so.

GURPS is way to crunchy (numbers focused) for me, personally, but I'm seconding the Sprawl recommendation. Hack The Planet is another great modern cyberpunk RPG, based on the Forge…

I think it’s just pref/user_pref and such. Despite the name it is not a js file and is not parsed like one. I think the file extension is entirely vestigial.

For anyone else who was a little confused, this seems to be entirely unrelated to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unum_(number_format)

Neither really. It doesn’t have direct access to a canvas API or to the DOM, but you can proxy calls through javascript. There’s a plan to allow avoiding this overhead, but it’s fa…

I think there’s a certain degree to which needing to implement spectre mitigations (e.g. site isolation) threw a wrench into some of the plans for improving the baseline of the ext…

I think it’s not 500 deletes, but it’s certainly not great. There is definitely an index. If you can repro this, you should file a bug for it, I’ve noticed it being slow too, but c…

It depends on what I'm doing, but generally yes I'll write it in Rust unless I think it's a bad fit (e.g. if it's something that's better off as a shell script or whatever I'll jus…

Being a global persisted key value store, about:config has a lot of things stored in it that.... do not necessarily make sense syncing, hence it being opt-in. Sync is guilty of thi…

Hmm, I don't think many have requested we sync user{Chrome,Content}.css. It's possible we'd accept a patch to sync them (I'd be for it, at least), but it's not trivial since we don…

The storage is more limited for synced extension data than for unsynced data. IMO this is quite unfortunate, and is mostly a consequence of the implementation of extension storage …

They use it for some Azure things, IIRC.

I think this is mainly an issue on macOS if you use a vertical sidebar, having to do with supporting it's translucency. I think there's away to turn this off too, but I don't remem…

Sure, but you can't really avoid rerendering every frame with OpenGL. (Not without a lot of tricky caching, at least, which has it's own costs). Not saying this is impractical (Per…

http://cbloomrants.blogspot.com/2018/06/zstd-is-faster-than-... is versus zstd 1.3.3. There are others too on that blog. Oodle and zstd are both very impressive, it's a shame the f…

There are precision issues with -1...1. 0...1 is actually the right choice IMO.

This is exactly what I meant to convey, thanks.
