The author makes the argument that in the age of LLMs more type safe languages will be more successful than less type safe ones. But how does that support the claim that Go is more…

That is like saying the kernel/sandbox hypervisor can access those things. The point is that the sandboxed code cannot. In browsers, code from one origin cannot access those things…

MCP doesn't force models to output JSON, quite the opposite. Tool call results in MCP are text, images, audio — the things models naturally output. The whole point of MCP is to mak…

An SVG doesn't need to support scripting. When you load an SVG through an tag for example, no s run either (only if you use , , or inline in HTML5). When you serve the SVG (or the …

OpenAI and Anthropic respect robots.txt afaik

Microsoft contributes a lot of web standard implementations upstream to Chromium. They are not just letting Google do all the work as your comment makes it sound like. They could h…

Right, I use a browser extension that automatically declines consent. On my personal homepage I also use anonymous, privacy-preserving, GDPR-compliant analytics that doesn't requir…

That's basically how goroutines work in Go. You opt into concurrency with the `go` keyword, while it's blocking by default. While in JS it's concurrent by default and you opt-in to…

Any public information eventually is priced into the stock price by the market. Say you buy the stock even though you didn't read the DEI statement, but other people bought the sto…

I think the kind of teams that always stay on top of the latest TypeScript version and use the latest language features are also more likely to always stay on top of the latest Nod…

This is true, but in other cases they added keywords in ways that could work with type stripping. For example, the `as` keyword for casts has existed for a long time, and type stri…

> In SVG, all shapes are absolutely positioned. Text does not wrap automatically. This is not really true — you can position elements inside the SVG coordinate system using percent…

I continue to be baffled how many websites rely on YouTube embeds to show videos, especially marketing/brand websites where you don't usually want other unrelated logos on the page…

If you just use it in the browser, is all you need. The browser is smart enough to parse it as SVG based on the context (e.g. if it's embedded inside HTML, if it's linked from an ,…

> In SVG land, there is no way to orient around a multiline text box's corners, you can only align the baseline of the first line of text. In fact, there is no way to set a width o…

It would be amazing if browsers just implemented all the features that were already specified in SVG2. Currently it seems like any new spec work on features that would be amazing f…

in SVGs is also not a concern nowadays if you use a CSP (even for user-uploaded content).

On top of that, if you use the TypeScript version, the abstractions are often... weird. They feel like verbatim ports of the Python implementations. Many things are abstracted in w…

I personally think S/MIME is better than PGP. The "key exchange problem" is solved more pragmatically and user-friendly (send an unencrypted but signed email once, your/their clien…

and different currencies have different default precisions. So if you're dealing with multiple currencies, now you need both client and server to have a map of all currency precisi…

Fair, but in my view if you have engineers implementing your marketing homepage they should be able to do this for you just like they write the HTML and CSS for you and figure out …

tabindex only affects tab order (of interactive elements), not the order that a screen reader navigates and reads out content (including non-interactive elements)

There already is one in ARIA that supports this: aria-owns [1] and to some degree aria-flowsto [2] But with everything in ARIA, it always depends on real-world support of screen re…

Flexbox order doesn't affect accessibility tree order, so that's bad for accessibility. DOM order should make semantic sense.

The `allow` attribute on iframes is a relatively recent API addition from 2017 https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/3287
