I got my first ever checkbook when I moved to the UK in 2000 and marveled at how quaint and old fashioned it seemed - in Norway my parents had them in the 1980s, but they'd been phased out by the time I got my first adult bank account in the 90s.

I still have a UK checkbook, but haven't written a cheque in a decade.
There is no technical reason one could not port Chromium or Firefox at this point; it's simply that nobody has put the time in to do it (as you can imagine, porting a web browser is not an easy task.)
Flutter is Canvas-based on the web, so this post well-could mean a switch to Flutter. Hard to see how non-Flutter customer Canvas-renderer for Google Docs makes sense.
I think they already have with Flutter
Inflation is a summary statistic, or, if you like, an effect rather than a cause. Though of course as it flows downstream it becomes a cause of the next round of effects. But still, fundamentally, it's an effect rather than a cause. All of the inflation has "reasons" behind it. That doesn't make it "not inflation".
I useto have a video up on how to quickly keyhole flap skin a barramundi, purely to show a former apprentice of mine how to do it.

I posted and completely forgot about it, then randomly checked it a few years later and it had views in the over 500,000 range.

My other videos(similar things for the same reason), were on 10-15 views haha.

It was very confusing to me, and I always wondered what would happen if I'd made a decent try at making instructional videos, in the end I just deleted the account in one of my anti-youtube moments.

So hopefully that gives you insight into a similar reaction from someone in a similar position.
Their own renderer has to support all of HTML and CSS. Slapping some rectangles on a raster surface has a lot less to worry about.
How large to you want the TCP buffer to get? Hundred-of-mbit/s to GBit/s bandwidths are normal even for consumers now, and so are delays in the hundreds of milliseconds.
I was guessing higher than that, but even that price isn't wildly out of line with the prices that governments are paying for vaccines (between $2 and $40 per dose).
In my case I told my boss to either let me WFH or I’ll find someone who will. He knows my skills are in demand so acquiesced.

I did have another offer in hand but didn’t mention that.

What now, are you criticizing the Oh So Intuitive Apple UI?!? Anathema, stone him, he said Jehovah!
And it puts the entire structure behind a giant blackbox. Yucky.

As if fate tries to prove a point, I recently struggled with a random ass google docs document and just wanted to download and import to use in my own spreadsheet software. There probably would have been a Google Approved way of doing it but if there was, they intentionally made it hard. I ended up copying the HTML somehow. I guess that will no longer be possible in the near future.
Isn't Flutter intended exactly for this use case? If Google Docs won't use Flutter then I'd say Flutter has failed badly.
I can't speak to your life, but not having Whatsapp would result in my being left out of some conversations and activities I want to be a part of. Email or SMS could theoretically substitute with reduced functionality in most situations; Matrix could substitute with no loss of functionality. Most of the time the other people in the conversations prioritize their activity/task/goal/socializing over technical or ideological concerns about their communication tools, so getting them to change tools would be an uphill battle.

In short, unless I'm really important to a group, I have to use what they use or get left out. If I'm the most important person in every group I'm in, I'm probably in the wrong groups.
I believe this is an example output?

Hydrogen is more feasible than battery for long haul as the technology stands now. A lot of big names in commercial trucking have made huge investments in it.

But it's still not there yet and likely requires some giant gov't subsidies or some tech breakthrough. No amount of $ makes batteries work for long haul at current tech or anything we see in the near future.
> That fact that it worked. That's what it is special about it.

The fact it worked doesn't make it something more than just yet another inflationary government currency.

> It was the fact that URV allowed to de-index the economy.

I'm not sure what it means to "de-index" the economy.

> It made it possible for people to separate the price from the value of things when they were spending.

The value of things in URV is just another price quoted in a different currency. Not sure what magic they performed to convince everyone that these prices would remain stable but that doesn't mean it's anything other than a new currency.

Look at real now. Look at the dollar. They print trillions of them like it's nothing.

> because now their salaries were nominated in URV

I suppose things like this made it easy for the population to get used to the new currency.

> If people didn't believe that the money in their pockets will hold their value, they will simply spend all of it as fast as possible, which leads to... inflation.

Naturally. When this happens, the solution is always to create a new currency. The old one cannot be saved without deflationary monetary policy which no country will ever adopt.

I have no idea what exactly convinced the masses that real was viable. Obviously it was going to inflate just like the rest, just at different rates. To me it sounds like the government just forced it on everyone until they got used to thinking in terms of real prices.

> This is why I asked about your age in the other thread. You never lived in hyperinflation, so you simply can not fathom what it was like.

Not at an emotional level, no. I do understand it at an intellectual level. Just yet another stupid problem created by governments irresponsibly printing money. Why nations even insist on creating these shitcoins is beyond me. I guess they enjoy the ability to screw up the economy.

I have nearly everything RDJ ever released in physical format, and started listing in '95 or so, and pretty much know every song by memory. That said, RDJ's piano work in particular is heavily influenced by Erik Satie, bordering on derivative. Still amazing, but definitely influenced, likewise SAWII leans heavily on Eno. Which is fine, influence is a part of art. ;-)
The modern answer is for the Emperor to be anonymous and pay his forces in bitcoin. or unregulated forex markets.
in general a lot of dom-nodes can reduce performance and with canvas you have much more control over what and how things get rendered. I would assume this is also nothing new or "special" afaik google spreadsheets is using canvas for years under the hood with some dom for nicer ux
Congrats on building this! I've had the exact same idea and pain for many of the projects I've worked on, so happy to see this out there and I hope you'll be successful with it!
I betcha all those things are going to go down again.
I am actually thinking of starting a math blog where I have to use extensive use of mathematical symbols. Using computer modern would also be nice. My idea was to keep the blog as minimalistic as possible, but I have not figured out how to do it the way I like. Terry Tao's blog [0] uses images for math symbols, and other people use MathJax [1] (but macros, which are used for convenience take too long to load). Maybe I'll just have to keep linking to PDFs.

Performance of DOM based rendering is very problematic and not unified across browser implementations. Canvas rendering will likely increase the performance of Google Docs, and make the UX more unified across platforms. Google Docs is really an application built on the web platform. HTML DOM rendering was never intended to give developers the control they need to build fully featured high performant applications, we just shoe horned things until they sort of work. I think this is a positive thing, UX will be better and the integration API's will become much cleaner and not depend on structure of how they design the UI. Concerns will be separated and the end result is something much cleaner, more performant, and more supportable.
What's also fatiguing: searching for something e.g. for work and then getting distracted by ads.

Also, companies tune their algorithms such that they get maximum income from ads.

Therefore, I bet that ditching ads would solve 90% of the problems.

The Mirai has a 1.6 kwh battery pack because the fuel cell cannot output the needed power for acceleration and to allow regenerative braking. It runs on the electric motor alone just like a Tesla. But yeah so add the buffer battery in your weight calculations needed for a fuel cell vehicle.

Pretty minor difference in size, unclear how that translates into usable space:

Mirai
Length 4,890 mm
Width 1,815 mm
Height 1,535 mm

Model 3
Length 4,694 mm
Width 1,849 mm
Height 1,443 mm

Also note the Mirai has a single 113kw motor (even with buffer battery to help) while the long range single motor model 3 is 211kw and only weighs 1730kg, I actually posted the heaviest performance AWD model 3.

The Tesla completely outperforms the Mirai in cost, weight, ease of charging and performance.
I guess to reduce friction for signing in

Most apps are not significant enough that people will go through the pain of checking their emails to get the new temporary password

Also , a lot of email clients still use STARTTLS while communicating with mail servers to fetch emails , which means a MiTM can reduce that connection to plain text (isp’s have been caught doing this before to read people’s emails) and then steal your password.

A site that enforces a rule like that must guarantee that its user’s email server only allows TLS only handshakes on client side (which is difficult if not impossible to do 100% of the time)

So even if the idea is great , due to the state email is in , it’s pretty risky and unsafe to MiTM attacks and network inspection.
Yeah, the Korg Monologue he helped designed allows for odd tunings, problem is few other synths do, so it's hard to get an ensemble going.
I'm not sure but what you are suggesting is not outside the realm of possibility. There are already projects like https://makepad.dev/ which implement their GUI on top of WebGL. (Which is arguably more challenging than implementation on top of Canvas 2D.)
File -> Download -> XLS
It is an interesting possibility. Obviously people wouldn't want it to hurt their SEO (for public facing websites). However Google is okay with displaying a different page to their Googlebot (for example if you have a SPA it is okay to prerender it and display that as long as the content it the same). So if your HTML based content is the same as your canvas based content maybe Google would be fine with it and you could get both good SEO and an ad-blocker-free experience...
I like that idea. It's so simple but it would totally get the job done. Of course this would have to be a throttling per connection so 100 HTTPS API calls don't congest a relay node.

But I don't see it working in reality because there is the argument that you might need to share leaks anonymously and that would take days.
We are working on a full-featured Google Docs alternative - https://writer.zoho.com . We are already capitalizing canvas technology for rendering documents across devices, except for the Web which still is DOM.

Having a single codebase that renders across all platforms is our long-term motive, and it does require rendering to a cross-platform canvas backend - like Skia.

I'm assuming Google Docs is already on that direction as well. Would be great if someone from Google can clarify the technical internals.

Big part of that is gasoline and cars, both of which had non-monetary supply chain issues.

Oversimplifying monetary policy is nice for dinner tables and political grandstanding. That is why independent central banks have the track record they do.
How is that analogy remotely relevant to this discussion?

I'm a Flutter dev and last time I checked out the web target it resulted in massive bundle sizes and bad performance. This was a couple of months or so ago, but still after their "official" 2.0 release which took web from beta feature to stable.

EDIT: Removed hyperbole: performance was bad, but not unusable
You can render elements inside of the canvas tag, they simply won't be visible. This gives screen readers something to do, though it becomes trickier since they also have to bugger keyboard shortcuts to implement key navigation for sighted users.

Not necessarily. Cars that go out of circulation can be made road worthy, if demand for them is there. Having a supply of new cars means old second hand cars get retired even if they could be made just as road worthy as any other second hand cars.
Fair argument; but for what I think are desired purposes and effects, I think declaring it something like 'National Security Threat' is more productive and less ambiguous/debatable.
Judging from Google Docs' performance, they're already not really using the browser for much.
THis is like a calculus problem. We're talking tiny differentials of a differential of a small number to begin with.
I felt the opposite. Fist pump in the air when I read the part where they said it would be an electron application. Why? Because I knew what it meant... Rather than trying to roll their own editor and doing a second rate job of it, they were likely leveraging something that was Tried and true, modular, and easy to use out of the box such as the Monaco editor (the same editor built for VScode). And the end product would be much better for it.
The base effect is relevant. The consumer price index is 267 right now, 256 a year ago and 255.5 two years ago.

So the average inflation over two years is 4.5% or 2.2% annualised -- a quite normal pace of price inflation.

The main reason why inflation was near-zero in 2020-04 and too high in 2021-04 is oil prices dropping from $70 to $0, and then recovering back to $70, with the corresponding effects on gasoline prices. Had oil prices staid stable at $70, year-over-year CPI figures would have fluctuated much less and would now be 1-2 percentage points lower. That is the base effect.

That seems like a moderately weak argument. DOM tables are slow, but if you know what you are doing the DOM is otherwise an insanely fast interface. You can get sub-nanosecond response speed from DOM calls in Firefox (faster than a billion operations per second).

It would be interesting to see the performance differences in numbers. The performance impact of a canvas based approach can be approximated from measuring the performance of heavy SVG animations on GPU load.

The dom is really, really fast, we have spent decades refining the process and there is deep tooling to support it built right into the browser. What a bunch of nonsense.
It's frankly annoying. I wish they enforced a notification by some means instead (X still has access unless you do Y), at least for services that only need read-only access.

Automate Code Deployment and Infrastructure Provisioning on Azure
Eh, I'll believe the slippery slope when I see it. Right now I think this move makes total sense since the dom is currently just being used as a rendering target and has to implement all its document-y behavior itself. Nothing about Google Docs uses the dom semantically and it already has to implement all its own accessibility support itself because without a lot of help screen readers would be useless.
Did you watch through to the end of the video? They show an example of using a different dataset, and it looks much less like a dashcam. I'm amazed by the results.
FWIW, I think it doesn’t compare to PBR - these are two completely different things, and there’s no reason you can’t do both. Maybe as a simple example of that, it’s common today to run a NN based denoiser on top of a physically based path traced rendering.

This neural network operates on images - input is image and output is image. Note that it cannot synthesize an image from scratch, it can only take an image and make it look more like the lighting in it’s training set.

PBR is a technique for taking a 3d scene description and synthesizing an image, so for PBR you need models and lighting and materials, and even with physically based techniques it might still come out not completely realistic looking. There’s always room to emulate realistic subtleties of texture, lighting, camera lenses, video/film response, outdoor colors, atmosphere, etc.
