Yes, but bankers rounding should be the last step in calculation, not an intermediate.

That's fantastic! Do you have any more resources on this? I'd like to look at that concept in more depth.

I really like the approach Perl 6 takes with FatRat[1]. You basically have an object which holds a numerator and denominator, so all arithmetic calculations do not loose precision.

BCHS seems like the perfect fit for consumer routers/switches with low hardware and a web GUI, very interesting indeed.

Those are compression techniques, they do not require js, nor a different client and work with the jpeg standard.

The dithering is nice for some images but it takes some details on graphs etc..

The example image given can be re-compressed using techniques like structural similarity (SSIM)[1] or Multi-scale structural similarity (2003 Paper)[2]. Using jpeg-archive[3] I resized the example image from the blog[4] with decent results:

> One can't even add 0.1 and 0.2 together and get what you'd expect.

That's floating point math, and persists in many languages [1].

> Variable definitions are global scoped by default, semicolons can randomly be omitted, etc.

Nothing random about it, automatic semicolon insertion is well defined/documented [2]. Also let [3] is your scoping friend.

It's even worse than that, from section 10 (Concluding Remarks)

…In the long run, we believe that these patches are ad hoc and that new attack vectors will continue to emerge. Current systems are fundamentally insecure un- less speculation is disabled. However, we believe that it is possible to design future generations of CPUs that re- tain speculation but also close speculative leakage chan- nels, for example by keeping speculative data in separate CPU structures than committed data.
