It may look like a crappy Electron app, but Figma has a quite interesting architecture. The browser editor is developed in C++ and cross-compiled to JavaScript with emscripten. The rendering engine looks like its handling HTML, but it's actually rendering their own document format for cross-browser consistency. They have their own CRDT implementation to handle multi-user edits.
I think my biggest question is who cares? What does having an interesting internal architecture have to do with the “its electron though” ideological attack.
It is made to perform much better than your typical electron app would. Saying electron-based == shitty is complete misunderstanding of the technology. Although i dislike Figma as much as the next guy, their app was in many ways very impressive. See Figma's cofounder old articles at https://madebyevan.com/figma/
There are whole companies that de-anon ad data as a service. Which gives the lots of data brokers the ability to not do the last mile and feel good about themselves. It’s a joke.
I remember when the first article was posted. Their method requires two parallel corpuses e.g. people who write on LinkedIn (under their real name) and Reddit.
Also, people who post under their real name are likely to write with their real voice:

distributional biases. In our cross-platform datasets, the pro-files are likely easier to deanonymize than an average profile: the very fact that ground truth exists implies that the user may not have cared about anonymity in the first place. Similarly, two split-profiles of a single user are inherently alike, whereas two pseudonymous accounts of the same person (e.g., an official and a pseudonymous alt account) might expose more heterogeneous micro-data.
> It is wise for these Chinese fabs to eventually use a very aggressive dumping strategy to price well below cost push out other players forever, especially in DRAM.
Crucial's departure from the consumer market left such a gaping hole, that CXMT doesn't even need to push other players out to gain a footing.
Model seems quite capable, but this use-case is just yikes. As if interviewing isn't already a hellscape.
