    Ok I guess if you are that level of paranoid - even though both Chromium and Firefox are open source and under a heck of a lot of scrutiny for security vulnerabilities - then I und…

    Instead of inventing a separate protocol, you can invent your own html meta tag that marks a website to be JavaScript-free. This will let you create search engines that crawl and i…

    My father pays for ChatGPT and it’s his personal consultant/assistant for everything - from troubleshooting appliance repair, to finding the correct part to buy, to guiding him ste…

    The logic is simple, as soon as you collected and/or processed IP addresses, you need user consent as it is personal data. You don’t get to “undo” this requirement by discarding th…

    A couple of days ago I was researching website analytics and GDPR/cookie law, and it seems clear that you need user consent even if IP addresses are only processed or temporarily s…

    This is just people being lazy and asking AI to do their proverbial homework instead of using it as a teacher to help them improve.

    I too lamented the loss of HTML imports and ended up coming up with my own JavaScript library for it. https://miragecraft.com/blog/replacing-html-imports At the end of the day it’s…

    Use “survivor” frameworks, things that last a decade will likely last another. Tailwind, React, Vue, PHP/Laravel, Rails etc. are all very much alive and kicking. Plus there is noth…
