The article is available on both https and http, could mods change to https:// ? I wonder if HN could automate that on all submissions, if the same url but https is a 200 then use that instead?

Blink and WebKit are not very similar anymore. The fork was 7 years ago and since then Blink has been heavily changed including a whole new layout engine (LayoutNG), a new painting system, a redone compositing system, a prioritizing task sc

I'm pretty sure it was never implemented in Edge and I know it was never shipped in Chrome, but you're right I misspoke above. It was shipping in Firefox when I removed it from Chrome. It was moved behind a flag in Firefox shortly

An architecture I've seen work is to have reads be direct from the client, but writes be through cloud functions. You can then do migrations and denormalization in the functions and the client sees the sync events as the write complete

The internals of Chrome and Safari have diverged dramatically since the fork (which was 7 years ago). Chrome has done multiple huge projects that changed how things work at a fundamental level like Oilpan (using a C++ garbage collector), La

Unfortunately the Qt demos all take 8-10 seconds to load on a phone for me and several of them fail with out of memory even on high end devices like a Pixel 4 XL. Certainly I'd expect a Pizza Ordering app to work on mobile (and to not

Part of what's slow is that they're type checking and compiling the code at the same time. Best practice for a project of this size would be to run type checking as a unit test and only transpile during the build. An incremental t
