Brother. Your browser does not have the concept of breaking a line once it gets too long[1]. Your browser does not even shape text during layout and it renders text using a DrawString[2] function from a library that only applies kerning.

I'm going to fucking crash out if another person says they're making a browser and their inline layout does this shit[1] I swear to god. I held off on commenting on the last AI browser post because the author said "it's

It seemingly did but after I saw it define a VerticalAlign twice in different files[1][2][3] I concluded that it's probably not coherent enough to waste time on checking the correctness. Would be interesting if someone who has managed

I'm having a lot of trouble understanding what you're trying to convey. You say there's a difference from previous "speculation" but also that it's still speculation. Then you go on to write "ALREADY going

It's not about collisions of the hash function itself. Every hashtable implementation will put the hash value through some sort of modulo because you generally don't want to waste memory storing the key 5726591 at index 5726591 in

Exactly why I referred to drawing glyphs instead of characters :) There's even more depth one can go into here: subpixel positioning. To correctly draw glyphs that may be on subpixel positions, you need to rasterize and cache glyphs se

Using non-printable characters to encode malicious code is creative, but I wouldn't say it "breaks our security model". I would be pretty suspicious if I saw a large string of non-printable text wrapped in a decode() function
