Can someone explain to me how I'm supposed to develop an Enterprise web app, that requires a regular "liveliness" check-in and to continue to receive timely notifications without internet access (internal only)? Between all the creative ways they're finding to decide they should throttle a tab or put it to sleep, and the ways they keep screwing with timers/intervals, I feel like I'm being forced back to pushing for a…

Make a desktop/mobile app, unfortunately. Web platform people don't want your app.

#15I'm quite interested in how YouTube can give more hours than browsing. Is it due to the bloat of modern webpages or something else?

Browsing web pages is much more chaotic. As the user scrolls through the page, the system is having to render parts of the page (on the CPU), evaluate CSS rules, run scripts... the works. When the user navigates to a new page, that's a whole bunch of new HTML, CSS, and scripts that have to be parsed. And so on.

If the user is watching YouTube, the system is spending most of its non-idle time downloading chunks of video, shoveling them into the decoder, and piping the output to the screen. This is a heavily hardware-accelerated workflow, and is quite efficient. The structure of the YouTube web app helps, too; it's a (well disguised) single-page app, so the browser doesn't even have to reload/reparse scripts when navigating f…

Interesting. Looks like Chrome just fixed energy issues with their app to keep up with Safari?
Anyway, they don't say anything about brightness and number before fixes, yeah.

#19What does this mean? The image implies the use of some sort of associative data structure implemented by linear search. But no one does that.
