> There's no fundamental templating knowledge that's portable between stacks, and native DOM creation APIs like innerHTML are unsafe by default.

setHTML() is already implemented in Chrome/Edge and Firefox so this point is a bit outdated - there is a safe alternative to innerHTML.

MDN and caniuse say otherwise. I think there might've been an older specification that got implemented, but it's been revised since

Didn't this already happen? It just seems like it was only progressively rolled out to Chrome browsers. My work PC was hit with this about a month ago, and now I get ads there...

You can still re-enable the extension for now

To be honest, I don't "get" ghostty. I am not really seeing how this is so much better than the GNOME terminal that ships with my Linux distro.

A lot of people are claiming that ghostty is "faster." I watched the lightning talk where the author claims that catting files and binaries is faster.

I tried this against ghostty itself after building with zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast, using: time cat ghostty.

In GNOME terminal, it took 3.340s. In ghostty, it took 16.947s. I must be doing something wrong?

Are there any use cases for running `cat` on a binary without at least piping it somewhere? The output will be mostly garbage

How many of you glance at this website and think "fraud engine"? This is a fantastic vehicle to suck money out of people that love their pets, and love animals in general. I know nothing about these people, but my fraud alarms are screaming.

infensus commented on Firefox releases tab groups for nightly   bugzilla.mozilla.org/show... · Posted by u/jack-bodine

Exciting! Firefox used to support tab groups and removed them in 2016 because they weren’t used enough.

Now that Safari has them, I guess there’s pressure to have feature parity?

They took the most upvoted ideas from the community forum and started implementing them. Maybe to win some users over, but I think it might be too late for this to have any impact on market share.

I'm also kinda disappointed they just copied the UI from Chrome instead of releasing a refreshed version of the previous implementation. Old Firefox tab groups were like Safari tab groups (or "workspaces" in Edge, Vivaldi, Zen and maybe others), and I think they are way better for organisation. Yeah, STG extension still exists, but having it built-in would be nice.

So, very, very similar to the 9950X score (100.x%).

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/7375555?baselin...

But without AVX512 and possibly much higher power consumption.

It is kinda exhilarating to see how much competition is going on with AMD, Intel, Apple and Qualcomm.

Some leaks suggest that 15th gen is achieving these results while consuming 100W less than 14th, but I guess we best wait for some real tests
infensus commented on Firefox Sidebar and Vertical tabs: try them out   blog.nightly.mozilla.org/... · Posted by u/ReadCarlBarks
godelski · a year ago
I use this and love it. One of the most useful adons. Really helps me to differentiate work mode form non work mode. I do wish it was built in because it appears to do it a hacky way by using bookmarks. Which is fine, because you can think of these tabs like temporary bookmarks.

Usually how I do it is at my office desk I have a second monitor I hook my laptop up to. So I open a new window, let that be the group, and then I use my mac for the terminal and my ipad sits to the side with spotify and any chat apps, out of the way and easy to dismiss.

What's extra satisfying is I'm a tab hoarder. But you finish a project and get to see all those tabs go away.

It's using tab hiding, one of Firefox's non-standard extensions to the WebExtensions API. I believe this is also how Panorama used to work

By the way, built-in tab grouping is also on the list of features in development. Hopefully they don't go the Chrome way

I’ve come full circle on this but I now think native applications on smartphones was a mistake.

There is no technological reason why applications can’t be distributed as PWA packages similar to the days prior to the App Store.

This would serve two important functions:

1. Remove most if not all distribution monopoly concerns

2. Create application standards that function nearly identically across the myriad of screen sizes and input types that are now available.

The current status quo of some service that makes my life easier or better only being available in a browser or only available on one or two of my devices (or, most often, available in a few ways but only bug-free or full-featured in only one method of access) isn’t the future I want.

infensus commented on JavaScript Bloat in 2024   tonsky.me/blog/js-bloat/... · Posted by u/cdme
lifthrasiir · 2 years ago
One thing completely ignored by this post, especially for actual web applications, is that it doesn't actually break JS files down to see why it is so large. For example, Google Translate is not an one-interaction app once you start to look further; it somehow has dictionaries, alternative suggestions, transliterations, pronunciations, a lot of input methods and more. I still agree that 2.5 MB is too much even after accounting that fact and some optional features can and should be lazily loaded, but as it currently stands, the post is so lazy that it doesn't help any further discussion.
infensus · 2 years ago
100% agree. Most of these apps could definitely use some optimization, but trivializing them to something like "wow few MBs of javascript just to show a text box" makes this comparison completely useless
