Yeah that's stacks, not the mentioned redesign. I'm not a fan of stacks either since there's no way to select photos from both inside and outside the stack to share. In general they seem kind of buggy too, ex. https:/&#

It's debatable if that's a fundamental problem. The entire Objective-C ecosystem was a flat namespace with prefixes too. Web Components trace their history to trying to explain how the web platform itself works. HTML is also a fla

Google uses Angular quite a lot already. Pretty much all internal tools (bug tracker, code review, release tooling etc) is built with it. There's also a number of public facing apps like GCP Cloud Console and the Gemini web app. Wiz ha

The header dictionary for http2 makes large headers like cookies less of an issue: https://blog.cloudflare.com/hpack-the-silent-killer-feature-... Which means it's only sent once per connection.

It's funny you say that because as someone in the large scale bubble when I read 2 million lines that didn't seem that large. Other companies of similar size are dealing with 2-10x larger web apps. Ex. https://stripe.co

Yeah, they could definitely optimize it quite a lot further. With investment in code structure and caching I bet they could get below 5min at that scale. But also for edit/refresh that should be on the order of a second or two, never m

In my early years at Google my coworkers called these "the taco box" because of the design. Later they made it blue, but probably for unrelated reasons.

Chromium (and Firefox) do GPU accelerated raster as well as composition. That page you linked is about a very specific case of wanting to get the pixels back to reuse in a different context. In that situation doing the work on the GPU and t

`go generate` is built right into the language: https://go.dev/blog/generate It's quite common to generate code that way.

Indeed. It's tradeoffs, but they've been sufficient for much of the codebase for a very long time. Taking no major action (Oilpan or memory safe language) for nearly a decade was also a tradeoff. I don't think the long list o

I had wanted to use Oilpan GC in the browser process for this reason, but the browser side folks were very opposed to using the blink libraries back then. Most of the Chrome UI code is written with Web UI at least. These days I think they s

Pretty much, which is how browsers work in general with the single thread (ex. The html parser yields after a certain number of tokens or if user input is waiting). React's concurrent mode is the same thing as well.

I don't believe there was any special handling for corruption, but there was probably hash checking when syncing new data every few minutes. The data stored in there was not user data, so the failure modes are not as severe. Sparkey is

IIRC many of Airbnb's systems were implemented on top of sparkey: translations, feature flags, experiments, dynamic config. It stood the test of time really well. Probably all built by Jon Tai.

How do you expect that to work? Their app would either need to have access to all your phone calls, or you'd need separate hardware to detect and authenticate the audio?

This is a (very old) browser API: https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/CR-battery-status-20141209/ It was once implemented in Firefox too and then disabled outside internal pages. It's from an era of trying to st
