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 until they improve it more.

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 one engine which could efficiently switch between all the fea

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 header set to "archive.md". cloudflare's proxy tri

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 static imports and actually running the fi

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.

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 game. WASM bytecode is generally already extremely optim

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.

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.

Yeah I think you're missing the part where you only added that file after being called out on twitter lol. The only reason I say "habits die hard" is because you consistently refuse to acknowledge that this ever happened.

tcrowe is known to me for his past behaviour of harrasing lgbtq members of the node.js core development team and stalking them on social media. very unfortunate if he has schizophrenia but bigotry is not a symptom of it.
