There are several comments on this post wondering why a browser monoculture is bad or speculating that a browser engine monopoly is inevitable and ought to be accepted.

Let's just replace 'browser' with OS (ironically the similarities are becoming more with each passing day) above... would we still say the same? Is an OS monoculture good, regardless of whether it is inevitable? Have we forgotten the power that MS had with Windows during the 90s and early 2000s before Linux, MacOS and Android became viable alternatives?

Given that browsers are becoming the new OS and VM, we need competition in this space more than ever, going forward. Let's not accept Chrome/Google as the One Ring.
Google already scraped the page to show the snippet, so they know what you're looking at. Whatever the privacy loss might be, people are happy to make that tradeoff with Facebook Instant Articles and Apple News. Similarly, they're happy to make that tradeoff on the web, which explains why AMP is used by so many search engines and link aggregators, not just Google.

Buffer overflow attack
Depends what you're backing up IMO.

In the case of my home video and pictures, I have terabytes of data that is largely unique+incompressible so the "dedupe" step on every backup program I've used so far takes a ridiculously long time and yields approximately zero space savings.

Incremental backup I also don't care about because `s3 sync` already only syncs what changed, and I don't care about restoring to previous versions because I want it to be an append-only store, which S3 versioning gives me.

I also need it to be simple for my family to recover data from in case I die suddenly, so I don't want them to have to decode some binary format to get at our pictures and video.
I completely agree. I think there is a bit of unjustified fear here given that Edge's ridiculously small installed base had absolutely no affect on the browser mono-culture anyway. Most developers did not go out of their way to test in Edge.

This is really no different than the Linux Kernel. People will take KHTML, Webkit, Blink, V8, JavaScriptCore and remix those into dozens of different products all with better web compatibility than something home grown from Microsoft with no chance of adoption.
Except that this raises prices. For those on the outside who still need the product or service, the best "stimulus" is efficiency.

How can inefficiency help poor people in the long run? Your logic doesn't pass the common sense test.

Not unfortunate at all; arguing definitions is rarely useful or interesting, and "game" has dozens of worthy contenders that disagree with GP and with the article you read.

E g.: Sid Meier's famous definition: "a series of interesting decisions". (But what would he know?)
Read that book??
Pretty much. He’s saying that the 1%ers who are Macron’s champions are the only ones who can afford universalism because they are the ones who benefitted from this new financialist monetary system and that they can only see anyone who doesn’t share a world view they can’t afford (because the working class as non beneficiaries of the new economics they have more immediate worries) as a selfish bigots.
Wearing a headset introduces new signals to your stream of consciousness, which can either be beneficial or detrimental depending on how you uniquely react to aspects of the signal. It sounds like you've identified that the amplified sound could be a large detractor for you. If not, then possibly it is the physical sensations you experience (ears being pressed on, headband weighing down on your head) that are interfering with your concentration.

Personally, I count myself among those that feel more comfortable wearing a headset (the sound isolation and amplification helps me with immersion allowing me to focus on the game better).

In general I believe it's the influence of factors that can increase or detract from your attention on the game that affect how well you can recruit brain circuits to perform precise actions. (Think about the most exemplary of clutch moments where you thought you moved with perfect mastery for a split second, predicted and countered your opponent exactly, and got the win. What kind of a thought process did that take? Why can't we do that all the time?)
This is a perfect example of why I'm still in Chrome. At least for me this runs at 60fps in Chrome on my Mac but 30-45 in Firefox. I see this often in animated sites.
I think we first need to agree that competition in a general sense—that is including browsers and everything beyond—is a good thing. It's healthy for any market to have viable competitors; principally for the consumers, but also for the vendors (so that they do not stagnate). If we don't agree that competition is healthy, then I don't believe it's possible to agree on the second-order matters.

There are several second-order reasons why a monoculture is damaging for the browser industry. I will give a few examples:

1. A monoculture encourages web developers to test on a single platform with the assumption that all other platforms, and even industry standards, are meaningless. Many of us are web developers, and most of us are guilty of dismissing low-share platforms during testing. But as long as some viable competitors exist, we nominally target the industry standards in the hope that by doing so, the platforms we do not test on will have a modest/tolerable (maybe even good) experience.

2. A monoculture is self-reinforcing. Losing established viable competitors makes it more difficult for new competitors to enter the market. If we allow second-tier browsers to be rendered meaningless, we all but ensure a long and (eventually) painful stagnation, and create an ever-larger hurdle for a new entrant to clear to reach any significance (as more an more of the web is designed to work with a single platform). While it may sound passably agreeable to have a Chrome monoculture in 2019, do we want to still have a Chrome monoculture in 2029? For my part, I hope we see an increasing set of options in most areas of life over time, even in "browsing," whatever that ends up looking like in 10 years.

3. We don't know what future stagnation will look like. We don't know what opportunities we will have lost by making it more difficult to compete or by losing the healthy diversifying force of competition. It's a classic problem of the unseen. Projecting forward, we predict testing will be a bit simplified, but we cannot know what innovations we'll never see (or won't see as quickly) because the hurdles for experimentation were too high. Today, if Firefox introduces a new feature, even though its usage is relatively small the usage is still large enough in absolute terms that the innovation isn't entirely under the radar for most of us. If Firefox's share were 0.8% instead of 8%, far fewer of us would even notice if they added a slick new feature, leaving the feature unheralded and obscure despite its potential wide appeal.

Cheap, seamless, end-to-end encryption is still a game-changer to the social order. We protected messages before with envelopes and seals and basic ciphers that law enforcement could break if the need arose.

It doesn't mean popular encryption is a bad thing. But it is a new thing, with impacts on the social that we don't understand or know how to compensate for. Like people getting "news" primarily through encrypted chats, creating a dream environment for Macedonian fake news authors who make money by stoking their racism. Who could have anticipated that?

Different groups define different age ranges for this group. The earliest would then put the age at 39 or even 40.

The point remains, however, is that the span is too great for a single term to define them to any degree whatsoever.
Unfortunately that's not really a valid comparison at all. Browsers all try to stay compatible with each other. OSes do not in any way try to stay compatible with each other. Programming apps for Linux, Mac, and Windows requires entirely different code. Programming for Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari do not (or at least not supposed to unless you're used new APIs or edge cases)

You can't currently make an alternative browser in the same sense that you can make an alternative OS. An alternative browser would not use HTML, CSS, JavaScript. It would use something else in the same way that MacOS/iOS push ObjectiveC and Swift where as Android pushes Java/Kotlin and other OSes other languages and each OS as it's own UI API
This is a pretty pointless and contentless article.

As others have pointed out, it's attacking a strawman, so the point isn't even relevant. But even if it were, what's the conclusion? There's a graph of people's trust in media, and some quotes from DDG's marketing—neither of which seem relevant to the central point.

> are filter bubbles really the problem here? Danny Sullivan [...] argues fairly persuasively that they’re not because even DuckDuckGo users see different results.

What is this sentence? Argues conclusively what? If anything, it supports the thesis that they exist (by this article's awkward definition), since they also pervade even DDG.

Coming from consulting and having the same initial reaction to design thinking, here is the key elemento IMHO:

1. A simple way to reqllly focus with many stakeholders or team of people to really think problems thru with the minimal structure possible to get some ideas or potential projects.

2. It is refreshing is a big 4 consulting company used to charge you 6/7 fissures for a strategy you then needed your people to buy in. You are maki g it with them in a day or couple of days. (Iterate caster)
3. Gives a low risk model of getting people to really think customer first, with the problems and potential solutions.

From my own point of view it really works, especially in big traditional enterprises where people have trouble Channing. I hate to say it but is almost magical.

> because that's something that might not be incredibly apparent in C++ (or C).

Yes, it is. Extremely so.

> Yes, in C, this problem does not exist, because operator overloading does not exist.

Except it totally still does because you never know what function add does for random types. It's literally the same exact thing. Function calls might be expensive and they might not be.

> It's a hidden complexity which doesn't make potentially expensive operations apparent, and kernels and VMs hate that kind of thing.

No, it really isn't. The add overload operator is never non-obvious, and never actually does memory allocation, file io, or any of that other nonsense.

Can you be intentionally stupid about it? Yes, sure. Is that an actual concern that anyone working on a VM or kernel should have? No, not in the slightest. Completely nonsense.
True, but the effect is to incentivize the type of behavior that the recent Sears management engaged in. It's like having a policy of paying ransom to kidnappers. There's no reason that U.S. bankruptcy law has to allow for this.

You are thinking too US-centric here. There are jurisdictions where this is allowed.

Also don't stare yourself blind on the numbers.

Do you unfairly deny 5 minorities or erroneously deny 10 genpop?

This is reality for today's data scientists.

Right now in the US: You find an informative variable that acts as a proxy for race (such as Facebook likes). It is not forbidden by law to use it, but you have the data showing the proxy effect. Will you add it to the CTR model and get a raise, or do you act and speak up?

Will you let the trolley follow its course and run over 10.000 Chinese dissidents, or make the switch and run over 100 of your colleagues (and friends) who would benefit from a China expansion?

The key like you said is spending those 10k hours on the right thing. A mixed strategy makes sense, but I’d recommend starting with some breadth - experiment and then go for depth. How can you know where to spend your time if you don’t know what you don’t know.

A hilarious take on this that comes to mind is one of my favourite Onion videos.

"Design Thinking" is a semi-recent moniker for design methodology centered around product design. Its real value is for younger and inexperienced designers. It is easily accessible even by high-school students. [1]

If you are a product designer who has 10 to 15 years experience bringing products to market, then IMHO there's not much in design thinking that you have not already seen. But if you are an undergrad or MS student with little work experience then it is a very useful structured thought process centered around product design.

If you are a mechanical design engineer in the sense of Shigley design thinking does not have a lot to offer your work product.

The weird white shame and identity politics being pushed by
Americans is really tiresome.

Your comment is more ideological than the author's throwaway sentence.

You're reading "white shame" into the author's essay. Does the author feel responsible for something other people did in the 1980s? Does he feel responsible for things other people do, just because he shares their skin-tone? Neither you, nor I, have any idea. He doesn't say.

that perspective is just as shallow as facile as the idea
that advertising from 40-50 years deliberately excluded minorities.

You complain about Americans without knowing American history. Segregation wasn't fully illegal until the 1970s. Does that strike you as a country full of good-will to minorities?

That's a bad TLDR, mostly because that's not nearly what the report or the linked article says, but also because it's completely and utterly wrong.
To be frank it seems like old media is increasingly wearing its envy on their sleeve relatively recently. They tried ignoring them at first. then they tried integrating where after ignoring everything on the internet suddenly leaping onto twitter. Then when that doesn't work they started getting angry and trying to make tech the new villain for everything. Like claiming that outright fabricated news for an agenda started with them - no just look at Hearst for one.

There is the incredibly obvious 'tech-lash' astroturfed push and trying to invoke antitrust - all while dutifully ignoring the actual monopolies and media conglomeration. And the Sinclair 'hive-mind' dystopian propaganda pushing that received far less attention than Facebook selling ads.

I'm ambivalent about WW1 since the US didn't do much fighting (too late into the war), and it was mostly trench warfare that wiped out European royalty, not necessarily a bad thing IMO.

But the inter-war years and WW2 are a fascinating epic.

The WW2 European conflict resulted from Germany losing WW1, but not being occupied. The WW2 Pacific conflict resulted from the USA embargoing Japan after they "colonized" Manchuria.

What's the performance difference from a pure JavaScript version?

Recently, I made a particle game which originally planned to be implemented with WASM. However, I decided to implement it with pure JS firstly. The result is some surprising that the JS version runs so smoothly that I think a WASM version is not essential any more.
WebRender is a mapping from CSS (and perhaps SVG and Canvas 2D in the future) to the GPU. But this game is already built on the GPU, so there's nothing for WR to do. :)
Just out of interest, could a GAN be used to clean up video, filling in all the blanks and creating a higher resolution, cleaner image and of course colouring too? From what I have seen of moving GAN images, they can jump around and be a bit jittery.
Ironically, Pandora's whole point is to create the musical equivalent of filter bubbles, and it's really cool.
The biggest reason is that when you have one implementation, the implementation becomes standard irrespective of what the standard itself says. When IE6 was dominant, this meant a lot of people had to reverse engineer the details of IE6's weird CSS implementation. Chief among its faults was an incorrect box model (although W3C later added an attribute to use IE's old box model) and the infamous hasLayout bug, which Wikipedia at one point had a page on (it appears to be gone now). Sure, Webkit may be open-source, but that doesn't really lend itself to finding issues related to buggy implementations.
Most of these problems read as someone that didn't do their due diligence when it came to auditing the factory and getting all the required information about the business before engaging with them in business.

As soon as there were any issues with the payments and shipping, the owner of the factory should have been involved, even if he doesn't speak English, a translated email or WeChat message will be good enough to get the ball rolling.

This is another example of why I would never support a hardware project on Kickstarter, building stuff in China is hard, and it is nearly impossible to know whether the company you are "pre-ordering" from has any experience in Chinese manufacturing. They got lucky that it was all able to be sorted out, but it shouldn't have ever gotten to this point.
