I brought up web accessibility concerns with them almost a year ago and as far as I can tell all they've done since then is add `tab-index` attributes. Probably best to avoid this …

Gotta appreciate the part implying that anyone who finds this document amusing is a "novice" programmer.

I've been using this locally for a few years, figured others might enjoy it too. Feel free to contribute additional tool configs.

One of the biggest issues was that stakeholders were uncomfortable with having to ship their browsers with multiple engines to handle different versions of JS (or having to build o…

There is a lot of excellent information on ES4 (and other things) in Allen Wirfs-Brock's "JavaScript: The First 20 Years": https://zenodo.org/record/3707008

archive.is returns A records 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 (cloudflare ips) back when you query them using cf dns. This means that your browser sends a request to 1.1.1.1 with the host heade…

As is mentioned in the article, u64 was used to future proof for wasm's upcoming memory64 type: https://github.com/WebAssembly/memory64/blob/master/proposal...

there are no "async" or "sync" imports in js. there are static and dynamic imports. An implementation is free to spend as much time as it likes between parsing a file to get the st…

The lineup continues to balloon in price. A lot of students would the TK and TX models for robotics and whatnot, since they were only 200-300 bucks.

The extension has nothing to do with DNS, a more accurate name would be "autocorrect over wikipedia". The rust server set up with dnsmasq is a legit DNS server though.

archive.org doesn't block you based on which dns resolver you use: https://web.archive.org/web/20190914012706/https://www.teleg...

JS functions go back and forth because they're trying to provide optimized representation of functions based on guesses they make about the code. WASM plays an entirely different g…

helpful mnemonic for remembering the difference between "log in" and "login": "I'm going to log in on the login page"

> and did you know that IEEE-754 floating point can represent a "negative zero" that you can use for an error code in functions that return float or double? I am begging, please ne…

Working with chromium/v8, I can honestly say google's code search infra is one of the most valuable resources available. I really hope they open source the backend at some point.

add this to the list of things I wish I could unlearn

It is moving forward, albeit slowly. With or without DoH/DoT, non encrypted SNI is a problem, and DoH/DoT have privacy improvements in their own right.

There is already support for enterprise situations like you describe: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/canary-domain-use-appli...
