HN discussionChristopher Blizzard's (Open Source Evangelist at Mozilla) thoughts[1] on standardizing Canvas 3D, taken in conjunction with what relevant people at Google are saying[2], makes it look like Google is just really eager to get people using "3D" on the web.

HN discussionHow did you get this impression? One of the ffmpeg guys had been hinting about this for a while and finally posted in a LWN thread to point out 3 Nokia patents he thought Theora infringed. http://lwn.net/Articles/372416/ Which were shot down pretty quickly: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/2010/02/some-additional-inf... You could argue that the ffmpeg guys should be the ones to know best about MPEG patents that Theo…

HN discussionPGO is pretty new, and it's turned on for the current builds of Firefox 3.1. I'm guessing it wasn't enabled by Mozilla initially for the usual reasons of complex packaging problems and low manpower for the Linux version. Distribution packagers generally aren't that knowledgeable about what they package, but that probably isn't what's wrong in the specific case of Firefox, which gets a lot of attention. For Firefox,…

HN discussionQuote from Chris Blizzard: "The proposed spec [...] is a pretty light wrapper on top of OpenGL ES 2.0, with some changes to support some JavaScript pleasantries." http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/?p=1207 So it's more like a port than a new standard. I'm also not sure how much your complaint applies to HTML 5 since that was originated by browser vendors wanting to standardize the new stuff they were already implement…

HN discussionThat Chris Blizzard fellow has some interesting articles here: http://hacks.mozilla.org/author/blizzard/ and blog here: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/category/performance/ I'm glad (some) browser developers are still focusing on javascript vs native speed. I just upgraded from a 2ghz to a 4ghz PC and damn if this isn't going to ruin my attitude about trying to make web sites faster. The problem is NOTHING is slow…
