What was the comment trying to say?

I was the grandparent reply and I meant to only carve out "you cannot write anything in JavaScript faster than anything written in tuned C, and json.parse is the latter". Which link were you comparing FFI in python to json in pyth

by esrauch 1mo ago
If you're writing JS you cannot beat JSON.parse, because you're running the most optimized C++ implementation of JSON which will outcompete any decoder written JS itself. Which is not a very generalizable situation.

Cling to 16 bit codepoints sounds like a legitimate explanation? Latin and Cyrillic didn't would have saved no relevant amount of space. It looks like the CJK unified space is over 20,000 characters, so that's a real technical mag

I feel like the pelican test can't be relevant anymore; the whole point was to to something that wouldn't be in the training set at all and now it is?

Sure that part is a specific problem which is that new browsers basically want to declare their hacks profile against people who have already written sites and won't update them. In practice when you make your new set of hacks the stri

I just can't see how it could make sense to define features when a ton of the the behavior wasn't even intentional but just tons of bugs. I recall debugging issues that only reproduced in "IE7 compatibility mode of IE8"

I feel like this is with 2026 view where browsers are so mutually compatible. In the bad old days there were so many differences between html, css and js behaviors that if you wanted your site to be nice you had to change it for the browser

GoGo was not a completely separate implementation but deeply hooked into the official GoProto implementation. So it wasn't "Protobuf the binary wire format" or "Protobuf the schema language" which changed over time

Well, there's still two implementations even without getting into the quoted case. But yeah, narrowly about the C++Proto shared memory thing, unfortunately it's so hard to make this work for many different reasons that we don&#x27

I wouldn't conflate old computers and old browsers. I still use an over 10 year old laptop and it still has a latest browser.

Nissan Leaf motor is silent, there's really just objectively not a noise from the motor itself which could offend you. There's still some possibilities here: maybe you came across someone with a broken car and believed that to be

Sorry, you're going to have to spell out the risk for me here. What other cases have we seen that indicate that mass surveillance via smart speakers is a risk? We all also have phone in my pocket 24/7 and my laptop on my desk, bot

There is literally any noise from the engine, whine or otherwise. Whether a noise is bad or not can be subjective but silence is objective. So at least for that one it kind of draws into question your overall conclusions here. You might be

Can you spell out the ramifications for the plebs? As far as I can tell home smart speakers are being used for warrantless mass surveillance, unlike Flock for example. Do you mean the possible future situation where they are?

I'm old enough to have used computers before having any Internet, and in 2026 the idea of plugging in devices to transfer files to it does feel like a fiddly relic of the past to me.

I believe the feature is that you have a pending unreleased video and go to an llm for tips. When getting the tips it uses the pending video content and your recent videos info as context. So there's no holding back unlisted info short

It has scrollbars, but there's benefits to having more on an individual page at once. The tradeoff point seems unclear but everyone must recognize some tradeoff there. Foldable maps allow for getting everything on one view by having th

Let's say you are writing into a byte[] and have a LEB128 length-prefix followed by a payload, but that determining the length actually involves nontrivial encoding work. For example, you have a UTF16 string and want to write out a UTF
