The issue is that QR's alphanumeric segments are uppercase only, and while browsers will automatically lowercase the protocol and domain name, you'll have to either have all your p…

A significant downside to the element, and alternative image formats in general, is that when most users wanna download the image they expect an image format they already know how …

It's definitely worth mentioning JSONP - which worked by setting up a function in the global scope and using JavaScript inserting a new script tag that would hopefully call that fu…

It's definitely cheap to execute, the problem lies in the network overhead. With sub-resources (css, js, images) you can go from 1 request per page to 10 or 100 which is still negl…

HTTP has some strange rules about using stale caches so usually you want to add must-revalidate to your cache-control header. That ensures that the browser must revalidate once the…

If we permit the fairly recent QOI format[0] we can produce a 1x1 transparent pixel in just 23 bytes (14 byte header, 1 byte for QOI_OP_INDEX, 8 byte end marker): 71 6f 69 66 00 00…

The whole brands aspect has really confused me. If you search for "nature" on unsplash right now the first result is a picture of a person prominently holding a product in the most…

Linked tweet is from July 2nd 2019

I think the parent argued that both serve a purpose. When you're dealing with a large selection of fonts a small pangram is more useful to help you narrow the list down - until it …

These visualization are very satisfying and provide some wonderful insight. A few minor bugs: - The gray area is always too small, so there's plenty of area of the canvas that neve…

I'm really hoping another company is able to pick up the Cliqz search index. Having an option to Google and Bing is important.

Everything only searching file names might seem like a dealbreaker to some people but it actually provides a great incentive to give your files useful descriptive names. I got Ever…

These tests could be on a website of their own. I'd love to see how the results change with time and how competing implementations compare in terms of behavior (not necessarily per…

It seems to me like VR could get some great usage of vector assets. Having icons and especially text render perfectly regardless of how close you get seems ideal.

I'm not a huge fan of template e-mails, if you're just gonna do an automatic response then make that obvious from the start. However I do see how these can be useful as a reference…

It's rather disappointing that websites can't request linear ("correct") alpha compositing in any way. I suppose it's a bit of fingerprinting, but browsers can already be fingerpri…

Valid or not several emoji domains have existed since 2001 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji_domain

There's two arguments I've heard against removing the User-Agent field: "It helps us understand browser share" and "UA sniffing is faster than feature testing". I believe both of t…

Is there a simple command you can use to read the contents of the script (pipe) before it's sent to sh? Something like: curl ... | less-and-maybe-cancel | sh

Semantic HTML sometimes creates layers of nesting that make it impossible to achieve certain css effects without either breaking the semantic markup or adding a lot of "pointless" …

I'd love to see PC devkits for this device. Something as simple as a USB 3 device you plug in and place under your monitor. Perhaps it will make its first "PC" appearance in a Goog…

Looks like a fun project, all power too you for doing finding something that has kept you excited for an entire year! How far have you gotten into bootstrapping Serenity OS? Is the…

For the people who are seeing the "Sorry, this content is not available in your region." message the article is available through the Internet Archive Wayback Machine (fetched toda…

It's likely that the Chrome team has plans to eventually assume https by default, given that they've outlined their plans mark http as insecure on connect[0] (rather than on input)…

YouTube could likely use Service Workers in modern browsers to determine what bundle to load. If so then our modern browsers could simply send [browser]/[major version] (eg. Google…
