You can even make the file compatible with ZIP (and PDF) on top of that, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/Polyglot-HTML-ZIP-PNG/raw/... (and https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/Polyglo

I have an example of a side-project [1] where I think I naturally applied the best practices described in this article. My goal was to see if it's possible to code an entire project using a single agent (Claude). To do this, I "si

I just ran a test on a 10GB HTML page and called window.stop() via a 100ms setTimeout, which, in my opinion, simulates what would happen in a better-implemented case in SingleFile if the call to window.stop() were made as soon as the HTTP h

The call to window.stop() stops HTML parsing/rendering, which is unnecessary since the script has downloaded the page via HTTP and will decompress it as-is as a binary file (zip.js supports concatenated payloads before and after the zi

The reason I did not implement the innovative mechanism you describe is because, in my case, all the technical effort was/is focused on reading the archive from the filesystem. No one has suggested it either. Edit: Actually, SingleFile

I haven't looked closely, but I get the impression that this is an implementation detail which is not really related to the format. In this case, a polyglot zip/html file could also interrupt page loading via a window.stop() call

I would like to know why ZIP/HTML polyglot format produced by SingleFile [1] and mentioned in the article "achieve static, single, but not efficiency". What's not efficient compared to the gwtar format? [1] https:/

If we were to compare this to the JS world, it seems Python’s async is closer to Babel-style generator-based coroutines [1] than to JavaScript’s async/await execution model. [1] https://babeljs.io/docs/babel-plugin

You haven't got it wrong, the first example in the article behaves the same in JS, see https://jsfiddle.net/L5w2q1p7/ .

Thank you also for the kind words! Regardoing support, you can choose whichever method you prefer; it makes no difference to me actually.

Great idea, some people have already implemented it for the same type of need, it would seem (see the list of user agents in the source code). Implementation seems simple. https://github.com/0x48piraj/gz-bomb/blob&

FYI, zip.js has no issues with 1 (it can be fixed with standard extra fields), 3 (zip64 support), and 5 (you cannot have more than 64K of comment data at the end of the file).

Unfortunately, I will have difficulty answering your question because my knowledge is limited to the zip format. In the use case presented in the article, I find that the zip format meets the need well. Generally speaking, in the context of

For implementation in a library, you can use HttpRangeReader [1][2] in zip.js [3] (disclaimer: I am the author). It's a solid feature that has been in the library for about 10 years. [1] https://gildas-lormeau.github.io&#x2F

The warning message you mentioned simply means that the extension can inject "content scripts" into the web pages you visit. This feature is necessary, for example, to remove ads that cannot be blocked via HTTP.

Thank you for explaining your point of view on the interest of this conversation. Here's mine, I consider an offense to be something quite subjective sometimes. In some cases, it's possible to offend someone without meaning to. Th

I sincerely apologize again if you found my response offensive. You can contact your local police to make a complaint, I suppose.

Yes, but in this case, there's nothing to stop you from apologizing and possibly discuss the offending point so that it doesn't happen again.

I sincerely apologize if you found my response offensive. It was not my intention and I try to respect the moderation rules on HN. I just wanted to give my point of view, as a person living in the EU.

I'm sorry but it's normal. You don't have the right to offend people online or not.
