I agree with the points being made here but there's also that issue that your custom creation is the next employee's 3rd party solution.

Hackerone and some issues with it are brought up in the article.

love the ignorant downvotes. I wrote the chrome GPU subsystem. if you have evidence that I'm wrong post it. otherwise your just spreading FUD

your post is FUD. that issus was solved immediately and the actually bug listed had nothing special to do with graphics and is just a bug like a bug in javascripy or the browser in…

Chrome itself doesn't have these issues. In particular it doesn't support features that would raise these kinds of issues. For one it's not supporting all of desktop opengl it's on…

I hate it too but rather than just complain is it a solvable problem? Reply All had an resent episode about it https://www.gimletmedia.com/reply-all/124#episode-player first they h…

I actually wish it was the default to have to ask for permission for mic and camera everytime. one extra click doesn't seem overly burdensome to me. I'd even prefer that for native…

the issue is culture. customers want this. it seems fancy/nice/luxury/high-class. so companies are not going to gut their own sales. If you want it to change imo you need to change…

This topic brings up the issue of wrapping in Japan. Japan is notorious for having excessive wrapping. Individually wrapped cookies in a box with a plastic tray to hold each cookie…

As far as I understand the point is supposed to be the blockchain is distributed trust. The longest chain = proof of most work = the truth. The only reason someone can't basically …

How does block chain solve this problem any more than a plain old text file with your medical history? IIUC the only thing keeping bitcoin's blockchain trustworthy is millions of p…

how is MacOS to a much less extent?

they didn't forget. The department tasked with prohibiting alcohol consumption lobbied to ban other things so they'd continue to have jobs.

Subways not running between 1am and 5am seems like a good thing to me if it means they can use that time to maintain the tracks and stations. The trains and subways in Tokyo are am…

I haven't been to a library in 30 years or so but it used to be that the list of people who borrowed the book were written in a piece of paper in the book itself. So yes, I can ima…

It is and it isn't. Unity is great but it's got like a min 5MB download for just a spinning cube. Flash (because the plugin was built in) started instantly and had built in support…

From my POV (maybe I'm just looking in a different direction?) I see way more people programming out of intellectual curiosity and fun than ever before. As just one example the 201…

I'm not following you at all. What does loading images have to do with WebAssembly? How will you get webassembly to block based on loading an image? Every API in the browser works …

it is happening now. If iOS Safari doesn't support something its basically no go period. other browsers even on other platforms are effected because web developers can't use the ne…

the left half isn't talking to the right. the webassembly / webgpu / webvr people are trying to bring multi gigabyte games to the web and the page lifecycle people are trying to ma…

I think these might help. yes they are WebGL but the concepts are the same http://webglfundamentals.org

if you weren't allowed to install your own browser engine on other platforms we'd all be stuck with IE. There's a reason internet standards progress so slow on iOS. It's because Ap…

And Apple's seems like it is where they baby you by not allowing you to install other browser engines, set the system defaults for email, maps, camera, nor let you install non appr…

opting-out is not OK via the GDPR. Only Opt-In is allowed or at least that's my reading GDRP section 32 Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely giv…

It's not already in their TOS that they'll share any data they feel like with any one they feel like? https://www.dropbox.com/terms#privacy It certainly says the words: "We may sha…
