I'm amazed by how bad web browsers are at handling web pages requests for too much RAM. I have an html files with just a one-line JavaScript command to create a 1 GiB array, that I open a few tabs of, whenever I need to stress test a computer:

    var allocation = new Array(1073741824).fill(0);

I'm glad I'm not the only one, this was giving me big problems, with Firefox on my mac

I'd click on a youtube video, nothing would happen, and I'd tab over to my CPU monitor (which I kept running for just this purpose.) and I'd see the load up around 230%. I'd have to kill the process and usually give up on the video. It would only happen to some videos, but consistently the same ones. And I'd definitely see a problem with the buttons below the video - seemed like when the tab locked up sometimes the far right button would be rendered beneath the column on the right, like the reflow failed.

I haven't seen it happen again in the last few days.

Google playstore sucks. Their stats lags sometimes by days.

Google has figured out perhaps quality isn't needed to keep customers around.

“Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated”

„Fix the performance regression due to the menu layout recalculation loop bug. Make no mistake.“

bigquery studio will do this on a fresh page load.
