As a gamedev, those slowdowns are common. Ui rendering, due to transparency, layering and having to redraw things, and especially from triggering allocations, can be a real killer. Comparing old vs new before allowing it to redraw is really helpful. I found layers and transparency was a killer in css as well in one project, but that was more about reducing layers there

Drawing to the screen is a IO operation, is going to be slow.

The article isn’t very substantive. What is typical of similar organizations? What exactly is a foundation? Are there any important benefits to not having members for its mission? How is the board chosen? The article describes none of this

I think those are valid questions and if someone had a look into it, that would be great

But I think the point of the article means is that a browser that claims to be the people browser frequently ignores their user's opinions

They are bankrolled by they biggest competitor, an ad tech company, which can end any day

They receive millions a year, enough to create the best browser imaginable, pay millions to executives, and keep the browser barely competitive

Having paying members could potentially be a stable source of revenue

Can anyone comment on how effectively privacy is preserved with this approach?

If I understand it is not privacy preserving with regard to you and the aggregator but it is preserving with regard to you and the ad agency.

Only if you redefine privacy. I don't want any of my information being leaked.

It is plausible for example that you could form a statistical cohort around people that work in an organization and determine that they have become interested in a topic that reveals internal plans.

Even as an individual, I can only see more accurate modeling of my interests as a tool to be used against me. I do not consent to sharing those correlations. They are private.

This feature isn't modelling your interests. It's letting advertisers get insight into the performance of their ad campaigns without tracking individual users.

The ad agency is only able to see: their add (y), published on source z, led to x conversions, over a period of time (p).

5S is more about organizing your workspace, but this article is about organizing your work product. And it doesn’t say anything that isn’t standard dev practice, it just organizes the items under a strained 5S umbrella. Imho

Toyota envy. Not the first or the last time someone will abuse 5S to fit some grand shower thought.

Different people need a different analogy to absorb the same information.

Because of this, the more people writing these practices down from a different viewpoint, the more likely another person is influenced and improves their craft.

What do you mean by background in apis? You mean experience working with them?

I mean designing APIs. Working with APIs is a different discipline than designing them and it takes practice to get it right.

Imagine a smartphone lasting even 12 years

Nobody is hiring armies of workers just so those workers can “scrape out a living.” Companies cut jobs, they rarely create them for charity

What about advertising?

I don't think advertising is what creates a desire for a product. I think that desire exists beforehand and advertising mobilizes it.

I didn't know I wanted a smartphone. Ads didn't make me want a smartphone. But when I got a smartphone I knew I wanted one.

Can you export easily these days?

The catch is it’s fake
