Every browser can smooth scroll, please stop doing this in JS, manually.

I turn mine off, then you force it on me, and CTRL+F4 is an immediate reflex.

throwaway150•3mo ago

You should report it to sigplan.org. Complaining about it here won't make any difference.

There's also https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html -

What does this do on your computer? On mine it changes the workspace, which makes not much sense in context.

Closes browser tab

1718627440•2mo ago

Which browser is that? Does it support C-W ?

emoII•3mo ago

I don’t understand how to work with the intermediate language in such a back-to-front approach, wouldn’t you need to know in advance what pass to implement next so that the input to the current pass matches the output of your next, unimplemented, pass? To me, it seems like the contract is reversed

Hasnep•2mo ago

No, because the intermediate language of the previous step is just the target of the next step, and the target can be anything

E.g. when JavaScript was designed, they didn't need to know that typescript would be invented to know how JavaScript would look.

UncleEntity•2mo ago

It sounds to me that Pass 1 is basically an assembly-to-assembly compiler which becomes the target of all the other passes and optimizations.
