More like, it's an internal and recent optimization that JS implementations use more advanced techniques than an AST interpreter. It's an implementation detail how a VM executes code. What's recent is that people have started referring to JS implementations as 'VMs'. That's just a result of the use of techniques that ...

Every recent browser at least pretends to support the W3C DOM, and higher-level frameworks bridge the remaining differences reasonably well. You can write the code once and tweak it for various browsers in a few spots. In the early days, though, it was worse: Netscape had document.layers and IE had document.all. You...

Here's how arrays work in C (which is basically just a glorified assembler). x[10] is the same thing as *(x+10). All assemblers use base+offset. Just remember base+offset.

What you commonly refer to as the first element is actually the zero'th element, as any good mathematician would tell you ;) Seriously though, often when dealing with arrays you need to calculate *offsets from the start*, as opposed to direct indexing. Phrased another way, when dealing with "closer to the metal" lang...

No. Most new computers are coming with 4-6 GB (or 3GB in windows 32-bit; 6GB for triple-channel x64 systems). With that much RAM, it's unnecessary to worry about the small space savings from having slightly bigger memory footprint in 64-bit apps. I've had a 4GB system for 4 years, with Vista on it...haven't rebooted...

Well, just for starters, Vim is made in a country (or in two countries, considering Bram's work in Zürich now) where A4 is ubiquitous and US letter is virtually unknown... PS: Of course, it's much harder to estimate where more Vim users are located, but you could always ask Bram or try to work your way through [this l...

"Ground". Sometimes it's instead labeled "L", for lobby. And sometimes you'll see both L and P. P is for Parking, typically underground. Sometimes you'll see L, P1, P2, P3 for multiple parking levels. Sometimes you'll see B for "Basement" instead.

I get what you are saying about standardization, however, building an implementation in secret and dumping it over the wall when finished is **not** going to get other browser vendors to adopt it. You need to work **with** them, not go your own way and tell them to fall in line.

I still disagree, as a Brit the phrase "with sugar on top" is a well known idiom to me. It doesn't mean anything other than "a small addition". See also "a spoon full of sugar". It's an additive to make things sweeter, not the whole thing. Unless we are talking candy floss... ;-)

You're reasoning the wrong way around here. Raising to the power of zero has nothing to do with number of representable values in a bit field. The reason that 2^0 = 1 is because it's the only way that exponentials can be consistently reasoned about. If 2^3 = 2^2 * 2^1, and 2^2 = 2^1 * 2^1, then 2^1 = 2^0 * 2^1. If you...

Despite being a complete troll, the completely non-serious argument for 1-indexed arrays in Python is that there is no traditional "for" syntax. Rather, the range() and xrange() functions are used.
