Anyone interested in HTTP 3 that likes even-handed articles, Robin Marx has an excellent series on Smashing Magazine: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/author/robin-marx/

The second article is about its performance.

Surprised Canada's Interac system was omitted from this post.

Because it's the truth?

Seems fine to me.

Yes?

Ironically it took 20 seconds to load this site.

I don't think this is correct. You can pass lots of types in via postMessage(), including Objects, ArrayBuffers, even a Canvas context. Some objects are transferrable as well, that is, zero copy.

As far as your point about still being stuck on the main thread, that may indeed be the case depending on the work.

Looks like the fix didn't make it in 2.2 :(

Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't http://varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/notes.html#more-cach... talk about that, with an example?

Where is that setting? I'm pretty sure it asks on install, but what about after that?

Update: Seems to be in settings -> Sync and Google Services -> Help improve Chrome's features and performance

Pretty sure you want more pixels, too. And if they announced a 4K webcam, it'd be amazing and everyone would be raving about it.

It has always been super slow for me, but they're making it even slower over time.

Try a reactin or 2 an hour before sleep.

What ideology produced these books?

Didn't you get the memo? They cancelled it. They don't want you thinking that now.

Does RDS not do this to their customers? This alone would make me seriously consider taking my business away from GCP.

> "highly available" Cloud SQL goes down every couple months for maintenance

Yep, drives me up the wall. We put a lot of work in making sure we're zero-downtime, pay for "Highly Available", and every couple of months I get the dreaded email. No explanation, nothing. Then we have to do the whole downtime dance.

If anyone from Cloud SQL is reading this, please, please stop doing this.

Local History has saved me many times.

Yep, was thinking of the same thing when I read it. I have 2 gmail tabs in Safari, each taking over 1GB. One twitter that's about 1GB, one Slack that's over 1GB. Some of this is shared memory.

Is it that they don't realize Safari is a multi-process architecture, and they're only measuring Safari's main process?

You should read the rest of his blog posts.

These are really good ones:

M1 runs x86 apps through Rosetta 2. It works very well in my experience.
