I am not! I have no styles that should affect scrollbar visibility. What browser & OS are you on?

The WebGPU spec is currently edited by two Google employees and one Mozilla employee. I am not sure how to make sense of your accusation.

You can use the SPIR-V compiler toolchain to just transpile from GLSL to WGSL :)

Hi! Squoosh team lead here :) What kind of explanation would you like to see? We link to the repo and the Privacy explainer at the bottom of the page. Why is it important to you to…

The thing with GIF is that it’s rarely better than a paletted PNG. As for animations, video formats with a very low fps are usually way better suited and smaller than GIFs.

The goal of Squoosh is more to teach out about all the options and levers codecs have. JPEG is not “suggested”, it’s just literally the first codec we ported to Wasm so that’s the …

Do you mean serve the app from an S3 bucket? It’s a fully static site without any server-side components, so go nuts. If you mean compress all images in an S3 bucket? Not directly.…

The difficulty is: Do you express the resulting file size or the amount saved? “30%” could mean you “30% of the original file size” or “you shaved off 30% of the original file size…

Yes, that is Jake. This is Surma. You seem to be right. Gonna fix the CLI (the CLI is my doing)

It _is_ cached, but the wasm binary itself as well as the optimized version to improve startup times. The cache however is per origin. So no other origin can make use of the cache …

I did test that and maybe should have mentioned it in the article :) The repo history actually still has an RGBA buffer dump I think.

Idk man. webassembly.org — the site authored by the inventors — literally starts with “WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machi…

That’s the whole point. V8 is _really_ good at taking any form of JS code and making it fast, without me having to apply optimizations. The other languages only started being compe…

Author here. Using ASC was intentional, _because_ it is somewhat immature, and still manages to outperform JavaScript in the first two cases. In the third case, where I couldn’t ge…

Author here. It’s a trade-off for simplicity. It’s a small team and they are still working towards feature completeness. Deferring optimization to Binaryen is the easy way out at t…

Author here! You even included in the quote: It’s important to warm-up the code is so you don’t measure a mixture of performance characteristics between interpreted JS and compiled…

To be safe: There is some more graphic violence, but due to the dithering it’s not very offensive imo. However, pretty much the entire crew does die rather brutal deaths (and that’…

TIL! I just redeployed with these styles added. Should be live in a couple minutes. Thank you.

Ah, this happens when Firefox/Chrome scales the image. I added a note to the article a couple hours ago, not sure if you saw that. If you open the image in question in a new tab (t…

This is a lovely compliment. Thank you for taking the time to write it :)

Author here! I don’t think many people have researched or optimized on this, but I also work on https://squoosh.app , and from that experience I know that dithering makes compressi…

Well, I hadn’t heard of it, so I’ll read this tomorrow :D Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words!
