Saying "Animation in jQuery relies on CPU and Memory" is silly if you use translateZ(0) to create a composited layer which uses a tremendous amount more memory. WebKit at least will create a composited layer for the duration of a

The current round of multi-process architectures (that is: Chrome) don't really scale though. After you have so many renderer processes they start shoving unrelated pages together, so if you short-lived heap-fragmenting pages bundled i

The comment was that it was hard to maintain the way that it was written, which is probably true (there were hooks everywhere!). I don't know if there are any clever allocator/macro tricks you can use to know how many of each kind

I did something similar (but with more layers) using one of the Lytro depth images as a sample: http://www.infinite-imagination.com/ (This one rotates on a desktop browser, but uses the device orientation to create a 3

Is all this just because they "lost control" of the old inspector to Google (who invested heavily in it)? The new one doesn't support the websocket protocol yet so I can't use it in my WK stuff anyway, but I don't k

That's more like Cairo though. I don't think Apple have any public documentation on how the window server part of their platforms works.

Wayland/Mesa clients can use EGL to get a full GL context, it's just another attribute when creating the context (like how you select between GL ES1 and GL ES2).

#3 doesn't necessarily require breaking RSA, just TLS (via fake certificates or something else). Breaking RSA would be pretty interesting though.

In the context that's not the point -- another plus for client-side decorations is that no synchronization is needed between the decorator and client for resizing. Personally I think client-side decorations are far easier to implement

It'd be nice if they had some small useful examples. Context: I'm not familiar with ML though I've been reading some papers recently (I'd like to learn ML; I wanted to have some ML baddies in a game and let them play each other, etc). I ima

Ford bought hundreds of them for CAD/CAM work. I had one at SGI to add support for high DPI to IRIX in 2003.

It's interesting that none of the hobbyist printers I've seen have optical calibration like a servo does -- I've read about overshoot being a problem when doing faster prints, but if the head could measure where it was in XY then it shouldn

Printrbot Simple is $299. http://printrbot.com/shop/printrbot-simple-beta/ My son wants to get a 3d printer for his birthday (and he wants to print a lot of airplanes with it) and I think it'd be a fun project to do together; to learn abo

Sometimes you build it and they don't come... hard to tackle big infrastructure as a startup ($850M doesn't sound like much to build a nationwide anything infrastructure).

WebKit removed a lot of the ShadowDOM (upon which polymer rests, with a polyfill for non-native ShadowDOM) code after the Blink divorce because it was really complicated. So that's not super positive. Less related to polymer, I feel like a

CMake is pretty horrifically inefficient at compiling WebKit. The makefiles it generates fork to call CMake (to do things like printf in color) far more than they fork to call the compiler. The ninja generator is better, but it has various

That's a rough flow though. Assuming the external browser finishes itself when the auth page calls window.close you still have a bunch of ugly activity launches in between; you probably see the last thing you were browsing for a few hundred

Most GPU drivers on Linux are largely userspace based. The kernel bit has a verifier for the command buffer generated by userland to ensure it's not making the GPU read out of memory that that process shouldn't. On embedded there's less ver

Yes, you could hook the permission checking methods and deny them. I think there are packages that do this already (or don't throw the Permission exception but instead return an empty contact list, etc).

Henry Ford almost destroyed the Ford Motor Company because he believed the Model T to not need improvement. So the Ford family doing things that don't benefit the company has some history :).

Apparently you don't need to move people like Musk to large companies for them to change the world. (And many would argue the world is a better place for people not being dependent on existing large companies to have an impact).
