It usually came from serializing and deserializing objects which here it’s a shared json buffer? But even then there’s a serialization bottleneck right? You’d have to be mindful about how the context and closures work across boundaries. Then there’s also spinning up the workers, but I suppose you could do this ahead of time. Maybe my complaint is self-inflicted and is ultimately avoidable - but the complexity begins to mount.

There’s also the queuing and blocking nature of web-workers, I wish they could asynchronously process messages the same way js IO works, but that’s not the case. Rather you are batching full units of work. The mental model is different.

Anecdotally in Firefox I must have run into some memory leak issues and had to hard restart.

Ultimately I ended up going with service workers, which yes sounds strange but I found to be much easier to work with. Cancellable requests, async, long living in the background … but maybe it just works best for me ;)

I’ve played around with webworkers and just could never seem to get over the latency issues

Damn, funny now seeing this when they were blaming immigrants instead of the lax standards due to aggressive lobbying. “Every. Damn. Time”

Privacy needs codified! The illusion of safety is not worth it for the fascist regime who turn keys it into a panopticon.

In the era of LinkedIn, Ted talks and podcasts it’s always good to have a narrative of who you are and your journey to your successful endeavors

Nice to see the post 9/11 digital surveillance and beyond finally get its usage by a fascist takeover

Nestjs is popular so there must be something to it. The problem is the complexity. Once you get a certain amount of complexity and meta programming in js you get significant slowdowns. Abstractions are expensive. Also the decorators and DI are weird

Yes, it’s good, but not nearly as batteries included as it needs to be. Also all the dependencies move separately from each other in development

Unoccupied driverless vehicles need taxed. In the same way you have HOV lanes, the inverse should pay.
