GitHub and LinkedIn both appear to be pretty successful businesses.

Is Xbox really worse than Play-Station?

It's a pretty good name actually because it's unique, easy to Google, and is never ambiguous in conversation. It's all the suffixes that made a mess of it.

Yahoo. They very nearly bought Google too, but refused the initial $1m offer and then bid too low the second time. Kind of hilarious to see how that played out over time.

  Yahoo had two failed attempts to acquire Google; in 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin approached Yahoo to sell their nascent search engine for $1 million, but Yahoo declined the offer.[37][38]

  In 2002, when Terry Semel entered into negotiations to purchase Google. Google was reportedly seeking a price of $5 billion. After weeks of negotiation, Yahoo's final offer was $3 billion, a figure that Google's leadership rejected, leading them to terminate the deal.

The good part about a language runtime is there's a massive corpus of tests that are in that language and agnostic to the implementation language.

For a JS engine that's Test 262: https://github.com/tc39/test262

For node that's its unit tests which are mostly JS: https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/main/test

Node also runs the web platform tests too: https://web-platform-tests.org/

Bun has a similar large corpus of JS/TS tests: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/tree/main/test

You're right about general purpose rewrites, but language runtimes are a lot easier.

Apple was doing effectively everything on that list, though the self driving car was cancelled and the AI is now gemini.

Is the simpler thing not Lambda/Cloud Run (with terraform)?

On the application developer side k8s is awesome fo, but the you look inside the box and it melts your face off.

I'm not sure a middle ground exists unfortunately. It's either full service like Lambda or bag of knives like k8s.

I assume they meant the Attention process in LLMs, not the human concept of paying attention:

One big difference seems to be Mastra has tests and this project doesn't.

It also can't inherit css variables which is unfortunate since it means the image doesn't respect the theme.

They totally could sanitize it, just like they did with the gadget proxy, they just choose not to fix this ancient request.

It's like my ticket to add data url support to sheets. It just gets punted year after year.

There's a whole movie about a snail that's super fast (Turbo). An adult version of that isn't so far fetched.

Yes, I was around during the original discussions. AbortSignal exists because TC39 was taking too long and cancelling fetch() is table stakes for a networking oriented platform like the web.

Those threads are a good example of what's wrong in TC39. A simple AbortSignal could have been added, but by the time it's reconciled with SES, large speculative APIs like Governers, or the original attempt to add a parallel throw mechanism just for cancellation, nothing actually gets done.

It's been 10 years since CancelToken was first discussed and we're still debating it.

I just can't help but imagine those long lived rats escaping and taking over our cities. We already struggle with the rat population and they only live 3 years, imagine if they lived 15.

Also I love rats and totally agree they're tough pets because they don't live long enough. We had many of them growing up and spent a fortune removing tumors.

AbortSignal is same thing on the Web. It's unfortunate TC39 failed to ever bring a CancelToken to the language to standardize the pattern outside browsers.

The proposal already exists [1], but vendors would need to agree to both prioritize and ship it.

Right now Chrome is much more focused on AI related APIs (sigh) and not stuff like FontMetrics.

The FontMetrics API solves this, hopefully browsers will ship it someday.

It can request with a JS call. It can't passively collect it without you approving first. The article is written like calling that JS function will turn on location tracking without consent.

This is very cool, but I'm confused why the React player is smaller than the HTML player. What's actually in the size comparison there?

The worker situation would be much better with inline workers (or modules).

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-module-declarations

Unfortunately the JS standards folks have refused so far to make this situation better.

Ex. it should just be `new Worker(module { ... })`.
