Project mention: Backpressure explained – the resisted flow of data through software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-27
Yup, this is what WHATWG's Streams spec[0] (linked in the article) says. It defines backpressure as a "process of normalizing flow from the original source according to how fast the chain can process chunks" where the reader "propagates a signal backwards through the pipe chain".
Mozilla's documentation[1] similarly defines backpressure as "the process by which a single stream or a pipe chain regulates the speed of reading/writing".
The article confuses backpressure (the signal used for regulation of the flow) with the reason backpressure is needed (producers and consumers working at different speeds). It should be fairly clear from the metaphor, I would have thought: With a pipe of unbounded size there is no pressure. The pressure builds up when consumer is slower than producer, which in turn slows down the producer. (Or the pipe explodes, or springs a leak and has to drop data on the ground.)

Semicolon (;) has no special meaning in a URL. You can ascribe it a meaning in your particular routing, but the spec has nothing to say about it.

Project mention: Transcoding Latin 1 strings to UTF-8 strings at 12 GB/s using AVX-512 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-21
Be aware that with the WHATWG Encoding specification [1], that says that latin1, ISO-8859-1, etc. are aliases of the windows-1252 encoding, not the proper latin1 encoding. As a result, browsers and operating systems will display those files differently! It also aliases the ASCII encoding to windows-1252.
-
console is not part of the JavaScript programming language. WHATWG has published Console Standard https://console.spec.whatwg.org/ though console is not defined in ECMA-262.
-
Project mention: persistent storage API on Firefox temporary extension | /r/learnjavascript | 2023-07-24
You can use File System Standard https://fs.spec.whatwg.org/ to write data for that origin (Firefox doesn't implement File System Access API, nonetheless a File object can still be written to local disk using File API).

It's so frustrating how the chromium team is ending up as a gatekeeper of the Internet by pick and choosing what gets developed or not.
I recently come across another issue pertaining to the chromium team being not budging on their decisions, despite pressure from the community and an RFC backing it up - in my case custom headers in WebSocket handshakes, that are supported by other Javascript runtimes like node and bun, but the chromium maintainer just disagrees with it - https://github.com/whatwg/websockets/issues/16#issuecomment-...
