    There are literally no other metrics. Web Platform Tests were literally a project to align browsers on compatible implementations of a bunch of web APIs. Started by Opera and w3c and maintained by w3c https://www.bocoup.com/blog/wpt-an-overview-and-history

    I empathize. I feel like my work in implementing insurance programs & payday loan portals is of low value to society, yet it pays the bills. Meanwhile I'd much rather focus fully on my project to implement a WASM jit for Lua. That has future potential alone due to WASM unicorns wanting to open up to being useful as a JIT target Sort of flies in the face of people thinking basic income will result in a bunch of stay…

    The niche situations aren't going to use the built-in rand() anyway because they can write their own or use someone else's that's faster. Even if they end up using the same algorithm (e.g. a Mersenne Twister) they can still often go faster. Interestingly according to https://bocoup.com/weblog/random-numbers Firefox is just going to use its CSPRNG once the crypto api is ready. (Bug 322529 is still in NEW state, thoug…

    I'm the guy who ported this to processing.js, and no, it isn't that simple. I tried just adding that one line and it didn't actually work at the time. It turns out it's slightly more involved, and as I was just trying to make this a quick proof-of-concept hack, I didn't spend the time to rewrite the loading mechanism to make it IE-compatible. You can read more about the interactions between processing.js and excanva…
