One thing that stuck out to me about this is that there have only been 32 years since 1993. That is, if it's happened 6 times, this threshold is breached roughly once every five years. Doesn't sound that historic put that way.

Yes, but Orion uses WebKit intentionally on desktop as well, unlike Chrome or Firefox which use their own engines on desktop but WebKit on iOS, so it's a bit different in this case.

I don't think any of that means the benchmarks shouldn't be taken seriously. GP didn't say they expect Bcachefs to perform like EXT4/XFS, they said they expected more like Btrfs or ZFS, to which it has more similar features.

On the the configuration stuff, these benchmarks intentionally only ever use the default configuration – they're not interested in the limits of what's possible with the filesystems, just what they do "out of the box", since that's what the overwhelming majority of users will experience.

For what it's worth, you can drag a tab onto your bookmark bar, at least in Firefox.

By the way, it looks like the MermaidJS implementation of the WiiU example is broken due to subgraphs not creating namespaces. That is, the `rom` node in the `amd` subgraph is overwriting the one in the `ibm` subgraph.

I'm just getting "invalid response." in a 500 response from the `anubis/api/pass-challenge` endpoint – weirdly, when I added breakpoints and stepped through the code myself, it worked, but if I load again, I get the error. Maybe there's a timing component? (Firefox stable)

You might be surprised at the CPU usage of rendering a GIF. I'm not sure why, but I've previously noticed Slack takes noticeably more CPU when there's an animated emoji on screen.

Surely those things entail reading books and talking to people.

Apple Music's library features much more closely mirror the iTunes style, i.e. you have a library you can browse outside of just the "liked songs" pseudo-playlist. For instance, in Spotify (AFAICT) there's no way to browse all the songs in your library by artist; you can only list the artists you've followed, which is unrelated to whose songs you've liked, and go to their general artist page.

Personally, this is the top contender for a reason for me to switch away from Spotify.

The "press again to fall back to the browser's key binding" solution many sites use for ^F isn't perfect, and won't work for all scenarios, but it definitely helps.
