I just got a vehicle that supports it, but when my Pixel 3 tries to connect, the AA UI shows briefly for a second, then fails, every time. Any tips? I've tried over USB and wireless, same result.

Got a kick out of one of the bugzilla links:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34572

"Use native context menus on Mac OS"

"Opened 21 years ago"

https://squoosh.app/ will let you encode avif and jpegxl if you want to test out your images.

Yes, avif has lossless.

https://squoosh.app/ has both avif and jpegxl if you want to try it out.

And 10-bit color.

An interesting proposal:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/binary-ast/

https://tc39.es/proposal-binary-ast/

They do, well at least Chrome does: https://blog.chromium.org/2015/03/new-javascript-techniques-...

> Chrome 42 introduces an advanced technique of storing a local copy of the compiled code, so that when the user returns to the page the downloading, parsing, and compiling steps can all be skipped.

Not sure what's going on in Google Cloud UI, though. It's a dumpster fire.

> The fact that i need to see a cute-dystopian loading animation for 2 seconds each time i reload the page is incredible.

They did the same thing for GC UI. They think it tricks the user into thinking it's fast, instead of making it fast.

Here's a couple of tabs, one is a dashboard taking up 1.5GB RAM, the other is a k8s deployment page, taking up 1GB. It seems any tab takes up a ton of RAM. CPU also locks up completely in those tabs routinely. The chance that occurs correlates with how long a tab is open.

I use this UI all day, every day on a Ryzen 3900 with 12 cores, 24 threads, 32GB RAM, 300Mbps connection. It's always extremely slow, takes up obscene amounts of CPU and RAM. It's mind-boggling how they think, "this is ok".

The move to, "let's show them a pretty G spinner to compensate, because research shows that'll make them think it's fast" irks me to no end.

Would love to see what it looks like: https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/concepts/graphics/scenic/sce...

For anyone interested, there's also an excellent article on how nullable types work in Dart, that's more of a deep dive:

https://dart.dev/null-safety/understanding-null-safety

Ah, I gotcha, and I had already read another of your comments below. Yep, agree that is nicer in these cases. I still agree with the author that they made the right choice for Dart.

Dart is looking at adding pattern matching and "record" types: https://github.com/dart-lang/language/tree/master/working/05...

> You can map, filter, reduce, chain, compose functions that all work with optionals

Maybe they didn't mention it because both approaches can do that, or maybe I'm misunderstanding?

Previous, with a comment from the author: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25334248

As always, nice article. Just wanted to point out in case people are curious that Dart is looking at adding pattern matching, since it's mentioned in the article.

https://github.com/dart-lang/language/tree/master/working/05...

@munificent, not sure if that's the link you'd want.

Happens all the time:

It's all just a big charade from these companies, as if they ever work. Billions of dollars made from devices that don't even work, but people buy them because they've been lead to believe they work. They're worse than useless, because they give you hope that they actually do what the companies say they do. What a sham. Maybe in another 10-20 years.

Explanation of the change from an email I received from them:

"In order to welcome even more of your memories and build Google Photos for the future"

This is just gross.

It does compress RAM, although I’m not sure if you mean something different here.

Actually, it was reported about a year ago by the Dart team: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199866.

It was an excellent bug report, complete with a reproducible example.

Only after it recently made the rounds on Twitter and hn was it fixed.

Wow, this link completely locks up my android phone. Requires hard reset. Now I can't even open the browser, since it automatically runs in a tab.

All of the above.

They prob mean copies outside of Vim.

Agree with the article. I love Vim, but mostly use webstorm for the same reasons.

I just find all jetbrains products run like molasses, even with a 12-core machine with 32GB ram. I work fairly quick, and get frustrated when my editor holds me up.

Surprised to hear about the crashing issues with typescript, but I don't have any experience there.

Thought of this, too. The Durants' "History of Civilization" is incredible, as well.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Civilization

Yes, SIMD as well, although they're not available on all browsers/devices.
