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.

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 general. a bug that was fixed. If you're going to off

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 only supporting the subset that needed for

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 apps.

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 the customers' minds so they actually w

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. The bottom half of the box is sealed with a plastic tear o

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 change the entire history of the blockchain is because

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 people mining new coins and therefore distributively ver

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 amazing, clean, on time but they stop at 1am and start up arou

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 imagine when it was normal to be able to know who borrowed

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 for streaming. Unity can stream, after the 5MB en

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 2018 Global Game Jam had 8,608 game created in a weekend.

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 on events.

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 new apis given that 20% of the market has zero choic

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 Apple disallows any competition. If they a

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 approved software like anything adult.

Sure but MS also got in trouble for disallowing browser competition. Apple does this as well via their monopoly.
