scriptproof··on Qbrt – Cross-platform HTML/JS desktop apps using the Firefox Gecko runtime
You may bundle the Electron runtime in an app or not. An app is started by "electron main.js", so once Electron is installed you have just to download an app and create an icon. Example with https://github.com/Scriptol/Advanced-Editor
scriptproof··on Microsoft is laying off thousands in a major global sales reorganization
You know that Munich is currently expecting Microsoft to create a big center in their city and the major (a pro-Microsoft guy) try to court them. That has nothing to do with the quality of Linux.
scriptproof··on The relationship between telomere length and diet (2016)
They claim that eating more meat increase longevity, against popular belief. But it is contradicted by what we can see: people that eat less meat like those in blue zones have higher longevity in fact.
scriptproof··on WebAssembly 101: A developer’s first steps
Is is wasm and not WASM. Source: http://webassembly.org/
scriptproof··on WebAssembly: Mozilla Won
Asm.js was a brillant idea, but wasm is more like a bytecode. This is where is the part from NaCl the author missed. Wasm is derived from asm.js but also an improvement on LLVM to make a portable bytecode, that LLVM is not. One more step in the LLVM toolchain to get portability...
scriptproof··on The State of Go – Where we are in May 2017
Kotlin is the new Groovy. Runs on the JVM, uses Java classes. Dart may replace the JVM.
scriptproof··on Hauberk – A web-based roguelike written in Dart
If they get to build an efficient OS with a language running on a virtual machine and without pointers, they would have made a point. Only the future will tell.
scriptproof··on Ubuntu, SUSE Linux, and Fedora Are All Coming to the Windows Store
"I have taken these numbers from a paper I can not publish". (Scroll in comments). That is a good source.
scriptproof··on European Investment Bank announces €25M funding for MariaDB
And also send letter to FCC to encourage repeal Net Neutrality, try to make use of API copyrightable, try to steal Android revenues from Google with debatable reasons, and so ones... That is for the company in general, but for the customers of their database, there is also much to say.

scriptproof··on Proposal to start a new implementation of Thunderbird based on web technologies
I suppose they want to use their own UI and maybe link to some services or tools from Mozilla. But they should contact you to unite their effort with your: development time reduced from 3 years to 3 months (that is an approximation)...
scriptproof··on Google plans ad-blocking feature in Chrome browser
If only you have read the article, it is said thay will block popups, video and other annoying ads. These things are the main incentives to install a blocker. It is a smart move, and maybe a late move.
scriptproof··on Flex
I like how Ohm is designed. Very intuitive. Surely the best tool if you have to do some parsing in a Web app.
scriptproof··on VS Code uses 13% CPU when idle due to blinking cursor rendering
It is amazing this article got more than 700 points because when I open the task manager and VSC is in IDLE, I see 0% in CPU usage. And the cursor is blinking!!!
scriptproof··on VS Code uses 13% CPU when idle due to blinking cursor rendering
There is an HTML 5 progress tag supported by all browsers: <progress id="" max=100>
scriptproof··on VS Code uses 13% CPU when idle due to blinking cursor rendering
I am sure something like Visual Studio of any other IDE is better suited for a large project.
scriptproof··on VS Code uses 13% CPU when idle due to blinking cursor rendering
Something like XUL, XAML or Enyo? Wait for it.
scriptproof··on Why WebAssembly Is Faster Than Asm.js
I have used many languages, including Python, and I like JavaScript. It depend of lot of what you want to do with the language. If all the programmers you know are doing the same sort of tasks, such as server side scripts (the goal of Go), they have no reason to like JS.
scriptproof··on Ask HN: Will front end development ever move away from JavaScript?
Or ECMAScript 7 or 8 or 9...
scriptproof··on Ask HN: Will front end development ever move away from JavaScript?
I initially believed it was a sarcasm!
scriptproof··on Ask HN: Will front end development ever move away from JavaScript?
There are sites written entirely in Flash and ActionScript, a platform that is now obsolete. Another attempt was Silverlight and XAML (and JavaScript), dead also. I am not sure the desire to abandon JS is shared by all.
scriptproof··on V8: A Tale of TurboFan
You are right. What is the magic formula to make the JIT so fast?
scriptproof··on V8: A Tale of TurboFan
That is irrelevant. On a typed and mostly static language all is 100x easier to compile too.
scriptproof··on What makes WebAssembly fast?
These people are probably over represented here else things like Node.js, Electron would have never existed - and be successful.
scriptproof··on What makes WebAssembly fast?
You can write wasm. It is the official shortcut (not an acronym). Source: http://webassembly.org/
scriptproof··on Uber Executive, Linked to an Old Harassment Claim, Resigns
"he made Google what it is today". Then he is a bad guy after all. Ten links to the same website in the first result page is not marvelous.
scriptproof··on “We have decided to disable IMDb's message boards”
I can not agree with the "making NO MONEY" assertion. Many users come here to get the opinions of others about a movie. Another example: The success of Amazon is for a part to the positive/negative comments because you need the experience of users about their product. The money do not come from the comment, but they bring visitors... and their money.
scriptproof··on Oracle’s Cloud Licensing Change
Or less with some tools: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Oracle_to_Postgres_Conversi...
scriptproof··on 2016’s Business Winners and Losers
I would credit driverless car as a success of Google, imitated by many. They have failure too, fiber for example, and Google Plus. Microsoft had also the big failure of Nokia phones, the results are mixed actually.
scriptproof··on BrowserFS: an in-browser filesystem with many back ends
The work on that has been discontinued by W3C (https://www.w3.org/TR/file-system-api/), so we have to rely on extensions... It is a useful tool however, it could have saved me a lot of time if available earlier.
