tbodt··on Is anybody still using Windows 95?
For the record, chrome on android is ~60MB, less than half the size of desktop chrome (~150MB). Android chrome supports the same set of javascript APIs. Clearly that isn't the whole picture.
tbodt··on FBI examined Google records to see if anyone had knowledge of Guccifer persona
They zeroed out the last octet of the IP addresses, which is technically de-identification.

It does. Deleting your search history disassociates it from your Google account, but it is still associated with the first 24 bits of your IP address (this is considered anonymized because there are usually many different people who use IPs in that range.)

It turns out to be impossible to create a file that is simultaneously a valid ELF and Windows PE. The solution to this is to make a file that is simultaneously a valid PE and shell script, and have the shell script overwrite the start of the file with an ELF header and re-exec itself.

They've been doing this (showing the rest in grey) for a long time.
tbodt··on Moving out of macOS: Making Linux habitable
3/4 of the practical issues you mention are either not issues or won't be issues on shipped hardware. JIT, page size, and assembly code will all behave the same as they do on x86.

tbodt··on Google discontinues the Pixel 4, nine months after release
This is made worse by the fact that browsers don't show the intermediate domains in the address bar during a redirect. They used to, but stopped after attacks were found where you could make the URL in the address bar different from the contents of the page. For example, you could show a phishing site, then redirect to some URL on google.com that takes forever to load, and that would show in the address bar.
tbodt··on Changes to SameSite Cookie Behavior – A Call to Action for Web Developers

I wouldn't say it serves the interest of Google, because then you couldn't get to all the websites linked from Google Search.
tbodt··on Linear – A fast issue tracker
The landing page seems to say that interactions take under 100ms. What computer did you measure this on?

That could be advertisers doing schizophrenic A/B testing rather than Spotify.
