Thanks! So `items.[Iterable.iterator]()` is invoking a symbol-keyed method. It's declared like: export interface Iterable<T> { static symbol iterator; [iterator](): Iterator<T>; } export MyArray&

Nice list. I have a new language I'm working on (called Zena: https://zena-lang.dev/ ) with all of these in some form: If you have static types and unions, control-flow analysis and narrowing is critical for avoiding an

Wow, this is really helpful and timely! I'm building a new language with async/await and had to make a lot of these decisions, but I didn't have this organized of a framework to ground myself in. I'm happy to see it clea

SQLite bindings should absolutely not belong in a JS "standard library". SQLite is a project that most JS environments won't have enbedded.

Cool to see this pop up today. I'm building a new language and just a couple of days ago the concept of guard methods came up as I was trying to tighten up equality semantics to be more like Swift. Things like Array.contains() only wor

"can only be good" - you can't imagine ways in which they at least could be bad?

Please add Wasm support :) I'm making a whole new language to get around the problem you're talking about: it brings no runtime at all. One of my targets is a Sandstorm like system I've been slowly working on, but I'd lo

There is a significant difference between experiencing an apple through your own faulty senses and reading words from someone else who experienced an apple through their senses.

It's his blog. He can talk however he wants. You, however, don't have to read it.

This would be much better titled "Bluesky Acquires the AT Protocol Trademark"

LLMs have nothing to do with any of that.

This statement is just ridiculous: > Recently, there's a lot of talk about AI allegedly finding security flaws in software. That is an unsubstantiated claim. As such, it would need to be verified by a non-machine, and arguably, the

LLMs are fantastic at generating new languages given docs and examples.

Yes, this works if your RSS server has its own DNS record that you control, and is essentially what the Domain Handle -> DID indirection gives you in AT Proto. What Bluesky and AT Proto in general do is make it easy for people to either

I don't think it's misleading at all, the comment you're looking to is. People really do ask where "The AT Proto server is" as evidenced by this thread, and the really is no "AT Proto server" or "inst

There is no "AT Proto server" - https://overreacted.io/there-are-no-instances-in-atproto/

And how does RSS let you move your data to a new host while preserving your identity like AT Proto does?

by spankalee 2mo ago
Yes, but no official builds yet that I know. This is a really important issue for online playgrounds and IDEs.

They shouldn't add the ternary operator, it keeps `?` from being usable on it's own for safe navigation and requires the ugly `?.` operator, like `a?.[b]` or `f?.()` instead of `a?[b]` or `f?()`.

So don't use compilers at all?

Do you think that once GCC gets a working Wasm backend[1], that it might be possible to build Linux for Wasm directly and skip the RISC-V VM? [1]: https://www.phoronix.com/news/GCC-Steering-WebAssembly

No, there are people who look at the better and cheaper housing the rest of world has and who want that for us too.
23.
by spankalee 3mo ago
Being against bad housing regulations is not "anti-regulatory sentiment". Some regulations just aren't good. We shouldn't valorize rules for the sake of rules.

We need people to be less racist and stop voting for politicians they hope will hurt the right people.

You're supporting a company that makes a model that has been intentionally directed to think that white genocide is a major problem today. You do you, but that's a very morally implicating choice you're making.

Browser users. Pre Mv3 extensions were a huge vector for malware. My in-laws were hit by that.

by spankalee 3mo ago
Yeah, I think calling the Mv3 versions "secure adblockers" would be more accurate.

by spankalee 3mo ago
The speaker is right. Why should "system" interfaces and interfaces from other components ever be fundamentally different?

There is an issue open for instantiating modules at runtime: https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model/issues/423

I'm using it for a secure, language agnostic workflow orchestrator. Components have very finely-grained and controller permissions and access to data. They don't even get clocks by default (to mitigate against Spectre-style attack
