I'm unfamiliar with claudish and the example helped show the problem. But! There was something uncomfortably familiar in the Claudish example -- this is the way human programmers write when they're deep in the weedy details, and w

This is correct (I worked on chrome in 2008) it's important to remember that chrome's renderer was webkit, an existing c++ stack. Chrome's stability innovation was to run different tabs in different processes, and the securit

And to connect it back to the original post: the moments that make me cringe the most in Grand Designs are the ones where the owner decides, as a cost-cutting measure, to manage the project themselves despite not having prior domain experie

My interpretation: the paper describes a system that works for a starting concentration of 200 parts per billion, or higher. This is unrealistic because, in real world contamination scenario, you would expect to see a starting concentration

I've read the book twice, decades apart, and it gave me great joy each times in very different ways. I can see how this text causes some to experience the opposite of joy. Both experiences are valid. But like there's not some big

Chrome browser extensions aren't really compiled, though I suppose they can be obfuscated. If you install this extension you ought to be able to find it in your Chrome profile directory and look at the manifest and JS source. (former l

Both the KitchenAid and the Hobart use a planetary action which is not the best for kneading bread. A better idea is to find a small spiral mixer where the bowl rotates and the mixer blade spins in place. I have a Haussler Alpha and it&#x27

Site Isolation launched in Chrome in 2018, but the work started in earnest in 2012 -- see the below check-in. The idea in Chrome dated to before the Chrome 1.0 launch; it was the subject of Charlie Reis's PhD dissertation and he intern

It's not a whole new level. An aspect of Quadro differentiation has, since ages ago, been based on selectively disabling features that the consumer gpus silicon was capable of. It's the same strategy here. This makes sense to Nvid

As someone who walked away from programming two years ago, reading this stirred something in my heart that I honestly haven't felt since quitting. I've been frankly surprised that I haven't had the desire to code in that time

When I was a kid, my next door neighbor was an ultra-marathoner and the fittest person I'd ever met. He died suddenly one day of a heart attack while out on a run.

Read it as "both decelerate more slowly and rotate more slowly" and it's an accurate description of what happens when you sweep in front of a curling stone.

Can confirm. The whole group working on that effort has been laid off.

Fwiw: this has always been the case, since Chrome 1.0.

In chromium, the glyph attack defense works by normalizing to a "confusability skeleton" -- the ICU library actually does the normalization. Even within latin-1 this does some mangling: m gets normalized to rn, w to vv, etc. The q

Moreover, github.io is in the public suffix list, so it is effectively a TLD (foo.github.io is a different site from bar.github.io; they can't become same origin by means of document.domain). The risk of eval() is giving control of the

In chrome, what's blocked is page-initiated top-level navigations to data URLs (because of spoofing concerns). You can load them in iframes, and you can still do a browser-initiated navigation to them (i.e., type them into the omnibox)

Moreover, x and y are not independent on this plot -- x is just the rank of y. A graph constructed this way can never dip down. So a linear-looking upward trend is basically guaranteed.

Nvidia's gross margin is north of 60%. They want to sell GPUs. It seems more likely that they're trying to segment the market so that they can charge miners, gamers, and deep learning customers different prices; the per-customer l

Yes, but site per process is harder: iframes need to be booted out of process when they cross a site boundary. To illustrate how much complexity this brings, consider a browser feature like find-in-page. It used to work by traversing the do

Sooner than it would have if Spectre hadn't happened. Spectre, in my view, really changes the cost/benefit considerations here. Wish I had a better timeline to share, but with stuff like printing not working properly, it's no
