I love seeing what people are doing in the space of REPL interactivity. I've been working on a similar project, but for Node.js[1]. One of the things I've found the most helpful so far is color highlighting the input, in addition to the output.

I really like this one: https://bartaz.github.io/ieee754-visualization/

wasi doesn't have sound or video, it appears wasmer exposed a nonstandard api via wasi file streams.

Whenever that thing about Airbnb comes up I feel compelled to remind that it was a study of eight bugs, three of which ts would've prevented.

Archive.is blocks cloudflare dns from resolving it's site. I'd recommend finding something else.

People who cannot see often turn to echolocation: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/10/echolocation-blind-p...

I've had a few arguments with the person who leads SES over the past couple years, stemming from the idea that the realm shim is able to be attacked by new language features it doesn't know about. (for example, dynamic import exposing the outside environment).

I'd probably stick to a WASM VM unless JS exposed the ability to spin up a separate VM like that on its own (which is very unlikely to ever happen).

One of my favourite demos is https://http2.akamai.com/demo

It is designed to be able to skip the "tier up JIT" stage that JS code has to go through, where JS code is profiled at runtime to decide what should be optimized, what the types are, etc. `1 + 1` in JS and `(i32.add (i32.const 1) (i32.const 1))` should still result in the same cpu code, the only difference is that it takes longer for the JS code to get there (and there's no guarantee that it happens to the JS code).

(and yes I know, the addition would be constant folded, it's just an example okay)

This `iw` module is a pretty cool toy, but it has to compile wasm text format to wasm bytecode at runtime, every time.

An actual `Hello World` is not too much effort to be honest (30 loc) https://gist.github.com/devsnek/18228912613de5068e448bf21a66...

moddablexs and quickjs are probably better at this point, with current spec compatibility and whatnot. still a lot of respect for duktape though, it is not that bad to embed.

I've just kept using my pebble. consistent week long battery life, it gives me notifications and tracks my activity, not much else needed.

Also https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot and https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot

Yes, but it works quite well for this task.

You can use String.raw:

  new RegExp(String.raw`\s`)

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

lua has s:gsub, which is basically the same thing... or are you saying js should've popped into existence with thousands of stdlib functions?

It has to do with certain behaviours of RegExp objects, such as the `lastIndex` property, as well as consistency with `matchAll`. There was a lot of discussion[1] about what should happen with a regex that doesn't have /g, and in the end the most consistent choice was to just disallow them entirely.

it was not caused by a failure of the js vm though, it was caused (from what i can tell) by a failure in c++ tracing code.

node dev here - none of the prs here deal with segfaults from js code, because that doesn't really happen (at least, I've never seen it happen). You might have some more success searching V8's bug tracker.

I apologize for not having a source, but browsers are actually looking into disabling shared caches between sites because of side-channel attacks.

> "Sometimes providers boost speeds for households during the actual FCC speed-testing period," the Journal wrote. "Comcast a few years ago upgraded speeds in some regions without notifying the FCC, making test results look stellar, people close to the FCC program said. The FCC discovered the changes after spotting anomalous data and adjusted the numbers."

This whole thing is frustrating. It is made to sound like some kids pulling some harmless pranks or something. What the heck. These companies are deliberately lying and confusing government agencies.

so it tries to automatically submit prs to repos using the users? sounds like why typescript has the @types org. I'd be annoyed receiving prs of weird metadata from people using some random site or tool.

  obj = Object.create(null)
  obj = {}

is exactly the same as

  obj = {}

I would also do `Object.keys().forEach()`.

I use a 40% keyboard (the planck ez), and I have to say I really enjoy using it. Typing english is about the same speed at this point, but I'm still lagging a bit behind in programming, mostly because my brain still confuses layers and shift. The thing I love most through is that I no longer curl my left pinky under my hand to hit shift, and my pinky doesn't hurt all the time.

"blockchain ai butts": Bad: 0.0048 - Good: 0.9952

Regardless of Brave's intent, they operate in the advertising industry, and eventually, if not already, it will become a conflict of interest.

There was a rumor that was IETF was going to specify a bunch of new breaking changes in RFC 7195 (March 2014), and because of that (irrational) fear ECMA published the 1st edition of 404 very quickly in October of 2013.

RFC 8259 and the 2nd edition of ECMA-404 contain the same change, a single sentence, specifying that JSON must use UTF-8.

I agree, the chromium build tooling is unfriendly af.

> I call bullshit

Lot of works goes into deterministic builds, have fun going down this rabbit hole: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=314403

> Now I have to trust them to keep all these dependencies up-to-date

Looks like it rolls on average every 10-20 minutes: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/HEAD/DEP...

> and I have to accept the unecessary bloat?

Ah yes, because all operating systems ship with a pristine installation of the latest pdfium.
