love the ignorant downvotes. I wrote the chrome GPU subsystem. if you have evidence that I'm wrong post it. otherwise your just spreading FUD

your post is FUD. that issus was solved immediately and the actually bug listed had nothing special to do with graphics and is just a bug like a bug in javascripy or the browser in general. a bug that was fixed. If you're going to off WebGL based on that bug then you'd better turn off your entire browser

Chrome itself doesn't have these issues. In particular it doesn't support features that would raise these kinds of issues. For one it's not supporting all of desktop opengl it's only supporting the subset that needed for WebGL. All of if is massively validated , shaders are rewritten, bound checked, memory cleared, clamps added, etc...

I get no notifications from my Facebook app (I'm on iOS). What am I missing? I do get notifications of messages from the Messenger app but I want those as they are from friends

Unless it's gone up, the cost of fluff and fold service in the mission is cheap enough that it's not much more than doing it yourself. Especially when many laundromats where is > $2 for a wash load and similar for a dry load. If you have to separate your loads it can easily be $12 to do your laundry yourself. You can probably get it done for $15 and have several hours of your life to do something else.

Agreed but this isn't just a USA thing. Many countries have a culture not taking care of public places. All of Europe comes to mind. As does China.

Certainly hot tubs in San Francisco were mostly closed due to aids or so I am told

Sentos (public baths in Japan) certainly don't have any kind of rep like that AFAIK

the op was building chrome. building on osx exhibits similar issues. there are instructions in the readme on how to configure macos not to chug and lose all responsiveness when building chrome.

Thank you for the concern. You might be right. I guess I assume addition means I can't go without without withdrawals but I know I can go without just fine (long vacations) etc.. so at least at the moment I just look at it as being distracted easily (like a child ;P)

I've blocked HN in my /etc/hosts on my laptop. I also recently blocked it on my phone. I can still read it in a VM on my laptop but at least I have to make a conscious decision to view it where as before I blocked them I'd literally type `n` and chrome would auto complete to `news.ycombinator.com` and I'd be 20-30 minutes in before I realized I never consciously decided to start reading.

I have similar problems with the net in general. This happens to me all too often. I decide to do something like take a shower. I walk to the shower and turn it on letting it heat up. I remember something that I want to remind myself to do. I walk over to the computer to type in a reminder. Before I even start typing the reminder something on the screen distracts me. 5-15 minutes go by. I go back to the shower and just before getting in I realize I never typed the reminder. So, I walk over to the computer to type the reminder and the same thing happens again. This type of thing has happened on more than one occasion. For example I'm walking out of the house, at the door I remember something tiny I want to do on the computer (send a mail, write a reminder, ...) same things happen as above.

I got your point but just FYI, TIFF supports 16bit per channel images. PNG and JPG do not. I think TIFF might also support floating point images. Those might be useful for raw manipulation and HDR. Safari supports TIFF BTW (or did last time I checked). No idea if there is a way to get access to the high res data in Safari though.

Sorry, What I meant to really say is specs are not sufficient. Sure specs are important. But even with specs, without comprehensive conformance tests implementations will diverge.

I work on the WebGL spec and tests based off the OpenGL ES spec and tests. Even though the OpenGL ES spec is long and detailed, every edge case for which there is no test is broken or different in one driver or another.

Specs are important but I'd argue a conformance test is equally or even more important.

With a conformance test people can test their implementations and when ambiguities arrise new tests can be added or old tests fixed. Without, conformance tests different interpretations of a spec lead to divergent behavior. Once that behavior is out there long enough it becomes difficult to fix as people are depended on it and/or its quirks.
