A stray "J" I encountered years ago: a certain client's support tickets would often end with a single "J", which was a little confusing as it was not one of their name initials. Af…

An alternative to the paste commands is vipe (vi + pipe?) from moreutils which opens an $EDITOR that returns the contents once saved and closed. It helps with pasting special chars…

I owned an Alienware laptop (M17X R4) many years ago that had a dedicated HDMI input. It was a strange laptop. MXM socketed GPU, 120Hz screen that came with Nvidia 3DVision shutter…

There is some help text when clicking on the current goal amount: > If an organiser turns on automated goal setting, GoFundMe adjusts their goal automatically based on the fundrais…

I'm guessing Google is avoiding the scenario where a contributor "accidentally" commits code with a bug, then later reports the bug they "found".

I'd always assumed the opposite, seeing as a browser's primary function is to parse HTML text into DOM nodes as efficiently as possible. But on the other hand, since document.write…

The most obvious downside for me was remote terminal windows (e.g. using ttyd) being unusable because canvas rendering was "broken".

I'd use `yield from` more if I didn't have to re-index arrays before yielding from them: function numbers() { yield from [1,2,3]; yield from [4,5,6]; }; foreach (numbers() as $k =>…

It's great to see more progress around scroll snapping - I'll have to check out this scroll-state container query and the new events. The biggest missing scroll-snap feature I see …

We might be able to cross one more language off your wishlist soon, Javascript is on the way to getting a pipeline operator, the proposal is currently at Stage 2 https://github.com…

For anyone who wants to see some more explanations/experimentations around for loop semantics, this Chrome Developers video is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzokr6Boeaw

For a long time GA had no method to back up or extract the data. It also excluded itself from ADB backups. One had to root their phone to extract the data.

Woah, those book wheels are like the 16th century version of having 200 browser tabs open.

I've used caddy-docker-proxy in production and it doesn't cause Caddy to drop connections when loading a new config. I just tested it locally to check and it works fine.

CSS now has the ability to override some font metrics, so you shouldn't need to edit the font files directly. And these overrides can be applied to local fonts as well (generally u…

Exactly. And I find this is also the best explanation to give to people who don't have a maths background, but who still want to know "Why does the calculator say ERROR?"

Apple music dislikes the song "⎆" so much that it's entirely missing from the album in my account.

I think it was to provide an indication that the password was correct at a glance. (IIRC the number of dots in the password field was also generated, so it didn't necessarily match…

Ah, that's a good point.

I feel like this is just another case of "It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway" [0] If an attacker is capable of installing apps on your server... y…

I believe most of the issues with broken link behaviour results from the lack of higher-level methods to override the default link behaviour. An example: I don't really want to add…

My mother uses both "double-storey" a and "loop-tail" g in all her handwriting, even throwaway notes and shopping lists. Most likely due to working for many years as a graphic arti…

If anyone wants to see a recording of the demo, click on the "Boo!" link in the article to view its entry on the CSDb site. The blue sidebar on the right has a YouTube link.
