Open with multiple browsers (safari vs chrome) to get more "accurate + glanceable" rankings.
Its using WebGPU as a proxy to estimate system resource.
Chrome tends to leverage as much resources (Compute + Memory) as the OS makes available. Safari tends to be more efficient.
Maybe this was obvious to everyone else. But its worth re-iterating for those of us skimmers of HN :)
It could be much worse: how many projects simply die because they’re locked away in a corporate basement because some corporate attorney decided it’s “too risky to leak IP”
Despite all the layoffs & black founding fathers debacles Google as an institution has had recently, it still has the systems in place to let passionate engineering projects see the light of day.
Although I personally feel it may just be innate appreciation or love of the craft. It's interesting to compare Stripe with other providers such as PayPal, AWS/Amazon, Square. AWS is (and has been) focussed on selling to developers, startups to massive companies. Yet, their product pages aren't as slick as Stripe's. They built out their product with the ethos from the Retail side -- frugality, ship fast & often etc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One could argue that a company like Stripe's target demographic is _precisely_ the enterprise markets; yet, their product pages are slick af! Smooth scrolling, animations and all that jazz.
Because they're made up of folks who love JavaScript (and animations, of course)
Apple's marketing team is similar. They're probably a bunch of people who _love_ making videos; probably studied film or art or spent a ton of time on Final Cut Pro etc etc.
