Companies also currently aren't completely banned from firing people. If and when they do, it can look like you described, with adequate notice and compensation.

But from the perspective of the individual worker, a much more important continuity is the one of salary, insurance, and pension. This is the stability that the employee continues getting at Company D.

As the website I was optimizing was selfhosted, also selfhosting the font had a noticeable effect on the page load time. See https://github.com/SmilyOrg/photofield/commit/12352667c01624...

I'm not sure what you mean with the rest of the comment though, it's a very small change and it gets cached by the browser like other static assets, so I'm not sure what is the overkill here.

I focused more on fast rendering in [photofield] (quick [explainer] if you're interested), but even the hacked up basic semantic search with CLIP works better than it has any right to. Vector DBs are cool, but what is cooler is writing float arrays to sqlite :)

I agree that going from text to sqlite is a bit of a hurdle, especially if you're not writing C :)

"On desktop:

    Firefox and Safari do not support installing PWAs on any desktop operating systems."

Obviously it could be completely wrong, but it certainly _seems_ to comprehend geometric algebra more than I do.

"only player in mobile space" iOS had 28% market share when the letter was published (Q2 2010), just after Symbian with 33% and Symbian was not on the same level of "smartphone". Android was 4%. So yes, what was supported in iOS had a significant effect on the industry as a whole. Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/272698/global-market-sha...

"It was bad/slow/unstable" Sure, but that's irrelevant. It's not even the main problem Jobs had with it. It's that he lost control over the platform and, if you read between the lines, the App Store revenue. Read the letter and ensuing battle yourself: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughts_on_Flash#References

It's irrelevant though as if Apple cared so much about preserving the user experience, they would also block slow or crashy websites, which they didn't, because they don't pose a threat to their business model.

And it doesn't pose a threat because they (still) control what is possible on iOS web by restricting browser engines to webkit only.

Well, mostly that it's text / XML you usually have to parse in full and boundaries are data heavy, so if you have anything more than a world map, I don't see that working very well.

In contrast with the OP or GeoPackage, you can query by tiles/range and only extract the boundaries you need if you're zoomed in somewhere. If you use Tiny Well-Known Binary compression, you can also shrink the data quite a bit while keeping the querying capabilities.

But if you only ever need to render the whole thing, topojson is probably the winner as it cleverly encodes only unique borders once, so it tends to be a lot smaller.

And of course if SVG works for your case, go ahead and use it, it's surely the easiest way to render vector gfx in the browser :)

116KB - 5MB for country borders

16MB - 52MB for ~50K city/county level borders based on geoBoundaries

The range of sizes depends on how much custom compression/simplification you put into it. The source files are about 10x bigger, but that's already pretty small.

Topojson might be even smaller though.
