Well, it's not a completely outlandish scenario that the value of `init` might come from a variable that is sometimes at the start of the string and sometimes not, and a newcomer might expect `^` to only match when it is. Don't ge

> In Lua it's only the start/end of the string There's an additional caveat: if you use the optional "init" parameter to specify an offset into the string to start matching, the ^ anchor will match at that offse

Although those functions operate on "binary strings", not Uint8Arrays, and there is no especially clean way that vanilla JS exposes to convert between the two that I am aware of.

From their own benchmarks it seems more like bzip3 is geared towards a different compression/speed trade-off than bzip2, rather than an unambiguous all-around improvement. Am I misreading it?

But if you'd like to search Verbatim and also restrict your results to the most recent month/year/etc., even though these are separate dropdowns under Search Tools, you're out of luck. Google seemingly just won't al

As Jason Scott (@textfiles) notes on Twitter, this will be something of a first: with all the old content coming back, Archive Team/archive.org "literally provided a backup of a site while it swapped owners."

It did, immediately: "As a new Oculus Rift prototype is unleashed..." It didn't mention the most recent developments, as this article is several months old.

I had to check but yeah, that's true, the ECMA spec even says explicitly in its intro: "JSON is agnostic about numbers", they are "only a sequence of digits". (Unrelated observation from looking at the spec again: t

But that also uses double precision floating point number representation and UTF-8 for strings, so the only benefit (according to the arguments given in the OP) seems to be text vs. binary-based.

Since the author seems to have a problem with text-based formats in general, here's a counterpoint by Mike Pall on the LuaJIT mailing list [1]: "On a tangent: IMHO most binary serialization formats like BSON, MessagePack or Protoc

Well, if a security service decides it needs to blackmail someone, they're hardly going to send them a letter on official letterhead. In this case I imagine they'd pretend to be something like a small hacking group, infiltrating i

Well, sure, but it's not like this message was rushed out within minutes of anything in particular. They seemed quite content to have a completely blank site for hours on end before putting this up.

And it doesn't seem to have been proofread very well. "In the event of [something that has already happened]..."? I don't consider myself a particularly picky person, but come on, you could at least make the effort at a

"I'd rather not touch anything which involves patents at all." Unfortunately, that's not something you can reasonably expect, ever. Mike Pall made a statement about the IP of LuaJIT [1], and made the point that while his

It bugs me that the numerical for-loop in Terra has identical syntax to Lua's, but different semantics. Especially since you are encouraged to mix Lua and Terra code in the same file. Even something like: for i = 0, < 10 do --[[ ..

The point is that HTTP may not be the be-all end-all protocol that we will ever want to use on the open web, and encouraging any potential new protocols to take HTTP's lead and use an arbitrary binary encoding that requires protocol-s
