I've even found some in 5k, although they don't play back hardly at all. Performance not there yet.

It does seem YouTube has AV1 videos, at least for lower resolutions (720p and lower)

> We have seen great growth in the use of AV1 even in just a few months, with our latest figures showing that 11.8% of video playback in Firefox

Where are people playing AV1 videos?

YouTube released an AV1 playlist long ago, and haven't added a single video since release: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyqf6gJt7KuHBmeVzZteZ...

Besides that, I've only seen a few in the wild.

A good talk at Google I/O that shows how shared memory can reduce shader work in a WebGPU context: https://youtu.be/K2JzIUIHIhc?t=1329

I believe so: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Desktop-shells#linux

I noticed Chrome Canary added a WebAssembly GC flag last week or so. SIMD too. I think FF had the GC flag for a while now.

Anything similar for MySQL?

The Big Lie?

Interesting, thx. I assume K = Kernel?

> there is another called KBC - that one is more like a classical bytecode, it is currently in development

I haven't heard of this. Why another bytecode version? Increased performance?

I was more referring what Flutter would do out of the box for desktop, but yeah, the question didn't mention Flutter.

By the way, is there a good performance breakdown between Dart's AOT vs JIT? I've read some tweets/comments that JIT is still generally faster. Not including warm-up of course.

It already does, and they're working on making it easier.

https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/34343

Not sure if this will use AOT or JIT though.

I don't blame you for being underwhelmed. The original goal was an easy to learn language. But since Dart 2.0 was completed, they are working on adding many other language features, including NNBD (Non-null by default).

This is a decently clever Churchillian quip. At the very least, it does not deserve downvotes.

I did wait 2 weeks without following anyone, just searched for programming languages and such. But yes, I wondered that as well.

I recently created a Twitter account, mostly as an experiment. I just followed some programmers, stuck to programming content. Immediately and every day after, I was constantly being displayed Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Justin Trudeau, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, etc. Not a single politician or voice not on the left. Considering how powerful Twitter has become, this is troubling. I know this is just one anecdote, wondering what the rest of HN sees...

Luckily they are working on it: https://twitter.com/JosephPecoraro/status/110893441454786150...

1st order thinking dominates our politics and economics. And worse, there's no incentive for 2nd order thinking from our politicians, since the electorate doesn't go beyond 1st order. Further, pre-existing assumptions are usually backed by 1st order thinking, but not 2nd.

Not a bad little book promoting 2nd order thinking in economics: https://fee.org/resources/economics-in-one-lesson/

I’ve seen it plenty of times

> Lag was still a rare thing during my experience

Anything more specific than that, i.e. lag would occur every 10 mins on avg?

Was hoping Apple would lead the way for the industry with 120hz screens. I know it takes a ton of power, but damn, iPad pro is a sweet experience.

Is Mozilla interested in built-ins?

> TBH I am not entirely sure what's the difference between Web Workers and Isolates

> dart:isolate - This library was an attempt to provide a single API that provides common concurrency functionality across Dart's web and native platforms. While useful in some cases, most users found the isolate API limiting compared to the Web Workers API. The infrastructure for supporting isolates also adds substantial overhead when compiling to JavaScript. In the future, you should use Web Workers to access concurrency on the web.

> Part of the isolate API has never worked (spawnFunction) in JS platforms, and the other (spawnFile) doesn't work in Dart/AOT (Flutter). Neither are able to use transferrable/shared memory objects

> On the other hand, the JS platform has evolved quite a bit since isolates were created:

Web workers

Service workers

Animation worklets

... and other APIs like SharedArrayBuffer

... we'd like to enable our web users to seemingly use these, with as little overhead as possible

My take as well
