Half is faster than most scripting languages. Look it up, a lot of scripting languages are 100 times slower than native.
Javascript is the fastest generally used scripting language, after or similar to Lua. And Lua was optimized to be an embedded language from the start, nobody really considered Javascript would go this far so it wasn't designed for that.
I think it's kinda cool how far people are able to push it.
As there are millions of webdevelopers and only a couple of hundred thousand of 'native app' developers for iOS and Android which charge a lot more money.
Really, development speed and knowledge of native platforms is an important factor. If you only need to know one platform and can reuse code this translates to less time, less knowledge of native platforms and thus less cost.
Less cost, that's what this is about. Businesses like less cost.
That is all pretty useless if they did that, Chrome would start to complain because it enccounters a different public key. Because Chrome has certificate pinning:
I wanted to ask what is wrong with using a guillotine ? It's very fast (probably painless) and very efficient, but then I remembered it's French and US citizen don't even like their fries.
Also the people that used to be the main developers of ZFS don't even work at Oracle anymore. So I would expect the most interresting things to happen outside of Oracle.
Also interesting to know is: Oracle can't take any code from the open source ZFS. The licensing/agreements don't allow that.

Forget targetted, advertising considered harmful.
If the NSA uses man-in-the-middle-attackes browsers trying to talk to doubleclick then we know we have a big problem.
Advertising networks that gather lots of data, do tracking is just a bad idea. It attract other bad actors like the NSA.
No, new Windows installations only come with one browser.
If the browser works good enough, people don't install an other browser.
That is what is going on.
Supposedly it was approximately 854,000 people in 2010:

If you think people use Javascript to create the frames in high speed games you are being silly.
They use native-like typed-arrays and WebGL when they make Javascript/HTML games, basically offloading most of the tasks to the native code.
Javascript/HTML5/OpenWeb platform/whatever you want to call it. Is just a collection of APIs to talk to native code.
Only the application specific code will be written in Javascript.

It's Ubuntu derived.
You should look better at the less free options provided by the Linux distributions they offer all that manageability just fine.
Gendarmerie is the military policy.
He did say Mark was renting that space. It might be a good thing for a non-profit to have some regular income.
Also the people that worked on this probably volunteered. Just look at the interviews page on their site.
Serving the Javascript means a lot less load on the server and works in every modern webbrowser.
This whole story is about webbrowsers.
Anyway, if you check the interview section, the people that created it probably volunteered to do it.
So why would you care ?

Google would be a more complicated target for them, because a lot of their hardware, like servers, switches and routes was self designed.
I think what Google should do is stop collecting data on people, that is the only way to get away from this.
Or anonymized as soon as possible.
If you collect and keep personalized data, you can't guarantee how it will be used in the future.
Calling NSLs going through the frontdoor is kinda funny.
When you get an NSLs it basically means you have you to lie:

I almost took the time to create an account with Dolphin in the name to say: thanks for all the fish
Or they only temporary use the clear text password while you create an account/change password.

Also interesting to know is: Oracle can't take any code from the open source ZFS. The licensing/agreements don't allow that.
The prominent btrfs developers that used to work at Oracle don't work at Oracle anymore. Some of the main developers of btrfs work at FusionIO.
I know it's not perfect, but that solves the problem until the btrfs developers get around to adding it to btrfs as planned.
bcache was added in Linux 3.10 (and dm-cache in 3.9), so Linux already has that covered at an other layer.
With every release off btrfs they fix more bugs to make it more stable and fix any outstanding issues mentioned in the article.
For example 3.9 gained that RAID5/RAID6 support.
Supposedly, btrfs also uses a smarter data structure than ZFS, so in theory btrfs will eventually surpass ZFS.
