Life of a Pixel 2018
- ElijahLynn 8y agoSlides are great but they miss so much from the original talk. Slides are for people who already saw the talk and want that last bit of info. Anyone have a link to the live talk?
- suzakus 8y agoI believe it's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8lm4GV7ahg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8lm4GV7ahg
- ElijahLynn 8y agoHuge thanks for this!
- wbkang 8y agoThere are show notes at the bottom of each slide.
- franky47 8y agoSomehow I expected it to be about the life of a tracking pixel, through ad networks, CDNs, iframes, and it's ultimate legacy as small point of data in an analytics log trace.
- aboutruby 8y agoI thought it was going to be about the Pixel phone and how it lasts or doesn't
- huffmsa 8y agoIt doesn't. Mine paperweighted itself last week.
- ndesaulniers 8y agoWorking on pixel phones, "pixel 2018" is a common moniker for pixel 2 before its model name is chosen, relatively late in the product development cycle. Before then it was wahoo or taimen (or other things before directors settle bikesheds).
- paulddraper 8y agoI though it was going to be either a physical display technology, a Google phone, a Google laptop, or an analytics tracker.
- Malic 8y agoDo I read this right? Does this suggest that Chrome will get GPU accelerated rendering, similar to what Firefox's Quantum Renderer will provide?
- pcwalton 8y agoAll browsers have had GPU-accelerated rendering in some form for years now. Mobile Safari has had a GPU-accelerated compositor since 2007. The primary difference between Chrome and Firefox Quantum Render (WebRender) is that Chrome maintains a distinction between painting and compositing, while WebRender mostly collapses the phases into a unified rendering step (and Pathfinder even more so). Everything in Chrome other than media and WebGL goes through a vector graphics API (Skia) before being handed to a compositor that draws tiles on screen. But WebRender renders CSS content directly to the screen, like a game would.
- rstat1 8y agoChrome's had GPU rendering for a while now actually (as has Firefox), those slides were just explaining the basics of how that rendering works.

- thisisweirdok 8y agoIt already does, there are a couple hack fixes for Safari that force GPU rendering when it otherwise wouldn't.
