Yes, but Orion uses WebKit intentionally on desktop as well, unlike Chrome or Firefox which use their own engines on desktop but WebKit on iOS, so it's a bit different in this case.


If we assume this means "in the next 50 years", they wouldn't be totally wrong. You could make the case airplanes were only on the cusp of being "a meaning[ful] part of life in America" by 1953 – planes only overtook trains for domestic US travel in 1955, and 1957 for trans-Atlantic.

I don't think any of that means the benchmarks shouldn't be taken seriously. GP didn't say they expect Bcachefs to perform like EXT4/XFS, they said they expected more like Btrfs or ZFS, to which it has more similar features.

On the the configuration stuff, these benchmarks intentionally only ever use the default configuration – they're not interested in the limits of what's possible with the filesystems, just what they do "out of the box", since that's what the overwhelming majority of users will experience.


Anyone who uses zfs out of the box in a way substitutable with xfs, shouldn't. So I guess they serve a purpose that way. But that argument doesn't need any numbers at all.

Substitutable how? Like, I'm typing this on a laptop with a single disk with a single zpool, because I want 1. compression, 2. data checksums, 3. to not break (previous experiments with btrfs ended poorly). Obviously I could run xfs, but then I'd miss important features.


I think it has improvements that were never upstreamed to the kernel, based on the developer's comments elsewhere[0].

Firefox's implementation of "Copy link to highlight" isn't enabled on stable yet, but can be enabled manually. The ticket to enable it is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1948471


For what it's worth, you can drag a tab onto your bookmark bar, at least in Firefox.


Nifty, hadn't noticed that. I only switched back to Firefox as my daily driver a few months ago after a long time with Chrome, so I'm still finding new things.

Now we just need it to save the page state like it would for an unloaded tab. But I guess the hard parts of that aren't really implemented after all, all kinds of issues though with serializing the page state, making it work with sync across platforms, or just dealing with someone trying to open the same state multiple times...


By the way, it looks like the MermaidJS implementation of the WiiU example is broken due to subgraphs not creating namespaces. That is, the `rom` node in the `amd` subgraph is overwriting the one in the `ibm` subgraph.



I'm just getting "invalid response." in a 500 response from the `anubis/api/pass-challenge` endpoint – weirdly, when I added breakpoints and stepped through the code myself, it worked, but if I load again, I get the error. Maybe there's a timing component? (Firefox stable)


You might be surprised at the CPU usage of rendering a GIF. I'm not sure why, but I've previously noticed Slack takes noticeably more CPU when there's an animated emoji on screen.


Surely those things entail reading books and talking to people.
