49Wh is very small battery for a laptop, even a light one, which this one isn't particularly. So spec-wise not impressive. Not surprising as it's competing with some pretty big players with a lot of hardware expertise.

For reference the LG Gram 15 has a 72Whr battery at 1.1kg. The current champ in 'battery size to weight ratio'. Most ultraportables have a 50-60Whr battery at around 1.3kg.

Things have indeed slowed down but you're cherry picking numbers. +50% single-thread but +200% in multi-threaded!

Has anyone considered using utility-style CSS combined with semantic class naming? Example:

  <div class="profile-card"></div>
  .profile-card {
    @include tailwind-css-1
    @include tailwind-css-2
    ...etc...
  }

This way your html has semantic classes but the definition of the classes uses something like tailwind instead of raw CSS. One level of abstraction. Seems the best of both worlds?

nhost.io basically does this. it packages Hasura with its own auth backend, as well as an S3 compatible storage backend. They're adding lambda functions soon.

Effectively a firebase alternative using open source tech

So he interviewed at two really competitive companies. One CEO offered him to skip the entire interview chain after chatting to him for a few minutes. The other sent him a desperate gift by mail after he turned down their offer.

Scott must be really good at interviews! :P

Something unintentionally amusing about your comment. Sounds like the opinion of an alien playing SimToilet :)

Doesn't seem to be the case. I tried both browsers and got the same result, i.e. 180+ fonts sent (<0.01% match)

My fonts alone makes me pretty unique it seems (<0.01%). 180 or so fonts that the browser is happy to share with the world. Does seem a little unnecessary.

Agreed.

Also, there is really no reason to have multiple boxes you have to click. You could just have a single "next" button along with a counter to show how many choices you have left before you run out.

That's actually surprising. I would have guessed around 0.25-0.50g or so. I'm usually pretty good at guesstimations, and yet I'm off by a factor of 100 here.

This is like being put in the "naughty corner", for adults.

... and since most adults experienced this form of punishment during their formative years, it's bound to be super effective.

Brilliant!

List of performance improvements is mind-boggling:

How could a mature standard library / frameworks have so much performance gains to be had?
