I believe this is misinterpreting the app usage trends. While the number of minutes on mobile is heavily skewed to apps (ex. 90%) the time is also spent in a very small number of apps (ex. Instagram or YouTube). It's not clear how that

There's three different modes of running a selector in typical browsers: (a) Element#matches (b) Element#querySelector(All) (c) By the engine for updating style and layout The GP seems to be talking about (b), but even then

We hit this in a past gig too. One of the big services had a leak, but deployed every 24 hours which was hiding it. When the holiday deploy freeze hit the pods lived much longer than normal and caused an OOM storm. At first I thought maybe

The back button trapping is something browsers should fix. Chrome has so far refused to do so which is frustrating.

I'm not sure about those particular services, but in general the ground breaking and foundational things at the FANG and adjacent companies were convinced by people at much lower level than L7. It was a lot of L5-6 folks who then went

I have very fond memories of joining Google and discovering the Closure library. It had everything and in an era before npm, JS modules, and ES6... it made writing JS feel magical. Impossibly large projects felt possible, and complex syst

While folks don't really use Closure Components anymore, the library is huge and both Wiz and JsLayout (and Fava) are built on Closure.

Even more confusing: inside Google they call the compiler JSC, unrelated to the JS engine in WebKit.

Fun fact: the code name for the editor was TrogEdit, with Trogdor the Burninator as their mascot. I believe they even had a life size cardboard Trogdor by their desks. It's one of the oldest, most stable, and never rewritten parts of t

I think the answer to that is probably "as good as soy, but with modern ergonomics". E4X was basically this and I think it's a much nicer way to build DOM trees than strings since you can't create invalid markup or conca
