Today's Edge announcements tl;dr

* Edge moving to Chromium (Blink+v8) for compat reasons. Still called Edge.
* Will be OSS. Will contribute code upstream.
* ChakraCore development continues for various non-Edge uses.
* No change to standards work - still pushing the web forward!

I got VSCode Extensions working in the browser! The extensions completely run in the browser, using web workers instead of node processes.

I'm now running 74 extensions, including:
- CSS/HTML/TS Language Services
- Emmet
- VIM Mode
- Bracket Colorizer

So many new possibilities!

😮 Did you know Chrome has a FaceDetector API?

Tip: Run getEventListeners(element) in the Console to get an array of that element's event listeners. Passing $0 (like in the screenshot) returns the listeners for whatever element you've selected in the DOM Tree of the Elements panel.

Tip: Run copy(obj) in the Console to copy an object to your clipboard.

.@ChromeDevTools supports top-level await in the console! Useful for local experiments without using async functions.

Excitement about Parcel has little to do with "zero configuration"—no one reasonably expects to avoid configuring build tools.

But configuration lifts the veil on internals. Parcel's clean configuration is a byproduct of a clean architecture. *That's* the selling point.

Jeff Dean and co at GOOG just released a paper showing how machine-learned indexes can replace B-Trees, Hash Indexes, and Bloom Filters. Execute 3x faster than B-Trees, 10-100x less space. Executes on GPU, which are getting faster unlike CPU. Amazing. https://t.co/PPVkrFVKXg

Woah. Facebook implemented JS in JS so it can partly evaluate a JS bundle and rewrite it more efficiently 😮:

Boom! There it is. Latest Chrome Canary now has Grid Layout enabled by default. It’s on the way.
