- Truly open source, presumably without the caveats that VS Code has such as a few "features" (extensions) being closed source and the extension marketplace being closed to de-microsofted builds - Designed from the beginning to su

In the "on top of WASM" case, I imagine that the advantage of Python and JS will be exactly the same as the "not on top of WASM case". Namely, mainly development convenience at the cost of performance.

by orangea 3y ago
Here is a specific example, again using Python, of how a programming language not designed for WASM might not be ideal: suppose you are writing a Python script which is to be compiled to WASM and needs to import a function. How do you speci

When I see "powered by WebAssembly", I take it as a sign that the language is going to be designed around WebAssembly's VM interface rather than the implicit standard of the C memory model and POSIX-like API which basically a

If you got hit by one of these then you wouldn't feel anything. The energy is about 50 joules, or about 1/2 of the heat that a human body produces in a second.

Note that such a baseball with the same energy as this particle would still have much more momentum than the particle. So getting hit by the particle wouldn't "leave a bruise".

by orangea 3y ago
That doesn't mean getting hit by this particle would feel like a punch, since what you feel when you get punched is a transfer of momentum rather than a transfer of energy.

Mac doesn't have seccomp so no. The functionality could be implemented but it would have to use a completely different mechanism.

IMO the solution is to give users the tools to run apps in a sandbox without forcing them to or making it the default. If an operating system like macos were to ship with a user-friendly UI to change what a given app has access to, then eve

The rule isn't really about lisp, it's about the kinds of functions and structures you find in the standard library of a typical programming language, such as strings and arrays and file IO and so on. Rust already has those things

I think the picture isn't supposed to imply she's going to shoot herself, she's just holding a gun and she doesn't care that she's doing it in an unsafe way because she's an actor and it's a prop gun.

I'm not sure if VS Codium has profiles like that, but Nix can be used to create them. There is support for configuring an installation of VS Code in the Nix language and using it as a package.

If your site becomes a spectacle/popular/viral, which I don't think it will, people will submit false data. I don't see how you can possibly deal with that.

I'm all for alternatives to HTTP but they really aren't related to this. If you want your site to not be affected by WEI then just don't use the WEI API. And something like WEI could be implemented just as well over those pro

> "Keep in mind that after the amount becomes very small, it is likely that the body will dispose of it all at once rather than halving the amount forever." I don't think that's how it works...

VS Code certainly can be configured to have a keyboard shortcut to switch to a terminal and another shortcut to switch back and/or close the terminal. In fact probably every popular editor with a built-in terminal can do that.

It's true that the sandboxing aspect of vscode.dev and codespaces is a major part of their appeal. It's unfortunate that operating systems were designed with more or less of a "if malicious code is running on your computer, y

VS Code, for better or for worse, has evolved into something like an operating system or programming language VM, capable of running apps (extensions) which do useful things while only interacting with the VS Code extension API. This allows

The "selectopia" example is kind of how it already does work, or at least how it used to, in computer programming, where having an impressive Github account can help one get hired. But it has downsides: - People who want to get hi
