Well, it's not a completely outlandish scenario that the value of `init` might come from a variable that is sometimes at the start of the string and sometimes not, and a newcomer might expect `^` to only match when it…
> In Lua it's only the start/end of the string There's an additional caveat: if you use the optional "init" parameter to specify an offset into the string to start matching, the ^ anchor will match at that offset, which…
Although those functions operate on "binary strings", not Uint8Arrays, and there is no especially clean way that vanilla JS exposes to convert between the two that I am aware of.

From their own benchmarks it seems more like bzip3 is geared towards a different compression/speed trade-off than bzip2, rather than an unambiguous all-around improvement. Am I misreading it?
Memento mori, motherfucker.
Went to http://www.sonnyjs.org/ (latest Chrome, Windows 7) - there doesn't seem to be any way to scroll the left-hand menu (it cuts off at "StorageManager" sub-heading for me at default zoom level, I can see there are…
The extracted quote at the top of the Forbes article here seems to indicate he was thinking along those lines: http://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahjeong/2015/01/22/the-dread-... "I imagine that someday I may have a story…
My mistake, I misread.
As Jason Scott (@textfiles) notes on Twitter, this will be something of a first: with all the old content coming back, Archive Team/archive.org "literally provided a backup of a site while it swapped owners."
It did, immediately: "As a new Oculus Rift prototype is unleashed..." It didn't mention the most recent developments, as this article is several months old.
I had to check but yeah, that's true, the ECMA spec even says explicitly in its intro: "JSON is agnostic about numbers", they are "only a sequence of digits". (Unrelated observation from looking at the spec again:…
Since the author seems to have a problem with text-based formats in general, here's a counterpoint by Mike Pall on the LuaJIT mailing list [1]: "On a tangent: IMHO most binary serialization formats like BSON,…
Well, if a security service decides it needs to blackmail someone, they're hardly going to send them a letter on official letterhead. In this case I imagine they'd pretend to be something like a small hacking group,…
Well, sure, but it's not like this message was rushed out within minutes of anything in particular. They seemed quite content to have a completely blank site for hours on end before putting this up.
And it doesn't seem to have been proofread very well. "In the event of [something that has already happened]..."? I don't consider myself a particularly picky person, but come on, you could at least make the effort at a…
Well, at least he's not completely disappeared, I suppose. Otherwise there doesn't appear to be much to actually discuss here. Maybe the fact that he would tell the press that a statement "should" be ready "soon-ish",…
It's pretty far down, but: "Author of LuaJit Explains Why He Changed Mind on Weed" ...made me far happier than it should have.
Surprise is overrated. The truth has no responsibility to blow your mind every day.
Callous indifference can be just as bad as malice. I'm reminded of these t-shirts with "Keep Calm And..." slogans that were allegedly generated automatically (presumably culled from web searches) and sold on Amazon…
Aha, that makes sense. Well, good luck to them on keeping their "secret" weapon under wraps :-)
The title mentions emails, but all of the email-related functionality tests had a negative result.
"For developers, libVLC and most libVLC modules are now licensed under the LGPL" - interesting, is there a full list somewhere of which modules are/are not?
It bugs me that the numerical for-loop in Terra has identical syntax to Lua's, but different semantics. Especially since you are encouraged to mix Lua and Terra code in the same file. Even something like: for i = 0, <…
This is the right to be misremembered.
