At the bottom of the article Bruce mentions the slashdot comments went downhill. This is the first time I've visited slashdot in years and I'm sad to see an old haunt turned so bad. The equivalent reddit thread is significantly mo

I don't think we want to be a community that shares content like this.

Another fun part of Chinese is that most characters are monosyllabic. This makes numbers easy to remember and, on average, Chinese speakers can remember a few more random digits than English speakers can.

Opera is far from a "chromium skin maker". In addition to features like autosizing modes for mobile, Opera developers are heavily involved in specs as well as the entire Chromium stack: https://blink.lc/blink/

Yeah, it will ship to Chrome users. The effect will be a console warning that SMIL will be removed. You should start seeing this in Canary in the next 1-2 days.

Excellent points. SMIL usage is high so it's just being deprecated in blink to get the word out, but not removed just yet. If you're planning to ship both web animations and SMIL, I hope we can get everything you need in web anima

SMIL does not work in IE and is fairly broken in old Android browsers. It's not a viable solution anywhere, today. I'm sympathetic to hobbyists and SMIL enthusiasts who are losing out here, but removing SMIL isn't changing wh

This is the crux: "The goal of having Web Animations to take place of SMIL makes sense..." Web animations are the modern approach forward. They are actively being developed in all browsers and work in both html and css. You can st

This is an excellent summary of the current state of things. tl;dr: don't use SMIL. Microsoft has (correctly, I think) publicly stated[1] that they do not intend to support SMIL/<animate>. It's best for our platform to

If you enjoyed this story, I recommend "The Martian" by Andy Weir. It reads like it was written by an engineer (it was) and is a thoroughly researched, fun read.

SMIL is not perfectly fluid. SMIL is not inherently hardware accelerated. SMIL animations are slower than the same animations driven from JS in all major browsers except IE which doesn't support SMIL but does support JS. As the OP show

Excellent points, thank you. The players graph is tough. There are many 0 entries which means a true log scale is out. A linear graph ends up being dominated by Apple and Google so you can't really see the other organizations. I should

This is a good benchmark for stressing rendering, layout, and style. We should be testing the real frameworks being used on the web and Speedometer is as good as any I have seen. Unlike IE's testdrive, Speedometer's source does no
