The issue is that QR's alphanumeric segments are uppercase only, and while browsers will automatically lowercase the protocol and domain name, you'll have to either have all your paths be uppercase or automatically lowercase paths

A significant downside to the <picture> element, and alternative image formats in general, is that when most users wanna download the image they expect an image format they already know how to work with. To most users an .avif or .w

It's definitely worth mentioning JSONP - which worked by setting up a function in the global scope and using JavaScript inserting a new script tag that would hopefully call that function with the data. It was the ultimate trust exerc

It's definitely cheap to execute, the problem lies in the network overhead. With sub-resources (css, js, images) you can go from 1 request per page to 10 or 100 which is still negligible for fast connections (10 mbps+, http2) and serve

HTTP has some strange rules about using stale caches so usually you want to add must-revalidate to your cache-control header. That ensures that the browser must revalidate once the cache goes stale. https://developer.mozilla.org&

If we permit the fairly recent QOI format[0] we can produce a 1x1 transparent pixel in just 23 bytes (14 byte header, 1 byte for QOI_OP_INDEX, 8 byte end marker): 71 6f 69 66 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 04 00 | 14 byte header 00

The whole brands aspect has really confused me. If you search for "nature" on unsplash right now the first result is a picture of a person prominently holding a product in the most blatant product placement way possible. So far th

I think the parent argued that both serve a purpose. When you're dealing with a large selection of fonts a small pangram is more useful to help you narrow the list down - until it becomes small enough that you can switch to one of thes

These visualization are very satisfying and provide some wonderful insight. A few minor bugs: - The gray area is always too small, so there's plenty of area of the canvas that never gets cleared. - Perhaps this is intended, or maybe it

I'm really hoping another company is able to pick up the Cliqz search index. Having an option to Google and Bing is important.

Everything only searching file names might seem like a dealbreaker to some people but it actually provides a great incentive to give your files useful descriptive names. I got Everything in a hotkey so it also doubles as an application laun

These tests could be on a website of their own. I'd love to see how the results change with time and how competing implementations compare in terms of behavior (not necessarily performance), V8 especially has changed a lot but it would

It seems to me like VR could get some great usage of vector assets. Having icons and especially text render perfectly regardless of how close you get seems ideal.

I'm not a huge fan of template e-mails, if you're just gonna do an automatic response then make that obvious from the start. However I do see how these can be useful as a reference point, I especially like the templates/examp

It's rather disappointing that websites can't request linear ("correct") alpha compositing in any way. I suppose it's a bit of fingerprinting, but browsers can already be fingerprinted by gamut support[0]. [0]: htt

There's two arguments I've heard against removing the User-Agent field: "It helps us understand browser share" and "UA sniffing is faster than feature testing". I believe both of these could be remedied quite e

Semantic HTML sometimes creates layers of nesting that make it impossible to achieve certain css effects without either breaking the semantic markup or adding a lot of "pointless" divs. In an ideal world HTML would be exclusively

I'd love to see PC devkits for this device. Something as simple as a USB 3 device you plug in and place under your monitor. Perhaps it will make its first "PC" appearance in a Google Chromebook? I can see a lot of eccentric

It's likely that the Chrome team has plans to eventually assume https by default, given that they've outlined their plans mark http as insecure on connect[0] (rather than on input). The move would likely have to be coordinated amo

YouTube could likely use Service Workers in modern browsers to determine what bundle to load. If so then our modern browsers could simply send [browser]/[major version] (eg. Google Chrome/78 or perhaps Blink/78) while old bro

An interesting issue is that it's currently impossible to pick the direction of the hue rotation, so if your start and end colors are one opposite sides of the hue circle this tool will go "the long way around". Great for rai

Since USB device ID's cannot be trusted by themselves couldn't some 2FA (eg USB security key) be used to authorize a device for as long as it stays connected? Once a USB security key has been authorized and is kept on your person
