Noticed that https://wozniak.ca/blog/2024/01/02/1/index.html (on the HN hompeage as I write this) was serving a 451 response, which I’ve never seen before.

As a Brit, ‘jaywalking’ is so alien to me. I once jaywalked in front of a police car who stopped and waved/signalled me across the road! Whenever I’m overseas, crossing anywhere when the road is clear is second nature to me and I have

As someone who’s at the frustrating intersection of fascinated and clueless, what are the implications of a blood sugar spike and are they bad? Is the problem the absolute amount of blood sugar or is it the sudden change in blood sugar leve

> I don’t believe it’s technically correct to characterise stylesheets as render-blocking… But they are. There’s absolutely no question about that. A browser will only render in the absence of a stylesheet if a) there’s programmatic inte

It actually wasn’t a deliberate inclusion—I didn’t give it any thought, largely because it makes no difference and isn’t relevant to the topic of the article. Hopefully readers feel empowered enough to delete their own forward-slashes.

OP here: Simply because the only mechanism a browser needs is ‘a currently-matching media type’ or ‘not a currently-matching media type’. There is no need to add further checks for a specific media type; that would lead to added and potenti

I know how browsers work, but thanks. The tool you linked does not solve the same problem, as the problems isn’t file types but URIs. Google is able to provide the tiniest possibly font files by hinting them for the specific browser/pl

OP here. Cross-domain caching is a myth[1] so reusing font files won’t work. In fact, it’s literally impossible in Safari[2] and soon to be made impossible in Chrome[3]. 1. https://csswizardry.com/2019/05/self-host
