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…
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…

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…
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…
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]:…
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…
For the people who are seeing the "Sorry, this content is not available in your region." message the article is available through the Internet Archive Wayback Machine (fetched today, Google's cache was giving me a 404)…
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…
Well if the referrer header matches the shared url it's just bloat in the request headers, and if it doesn't it's possibly leaking details it shouldn't, like perhaps a token in a query parameter. Twitter, Facebook, etc…
Note that by not setting rel="noopener noreferrer" on the links you let the linked sites control the opener window (and of course see a detailed referrer header).…
I'd personally say it's a bit gratuitous to say that Apple designed the connector, but their contribution was clearly significant, even if the politics of the matter mean that we'll never truly know if Apple spearheaded…
Got a source on that? I'm genuinely interested to hear about it.
All electronic transactions handle the SEK cent (1/100 SEK aka öre) though there are no longer any valid SEK cent coins. The 50 cent coin was taken out of circulation September 30th 2010 and nowadays all remaining cent…
Nested CSS selectors should be counted as a major win for everyone - to the point where there's proposals to support it in native CSS: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2701 My personal solution to avoid…
This argument is nonsense. Perhaps they should robocall me to tell me as well? If I want to be notified about anything (except emergencies) I should have to explicitly opt into it.
Sweden. Out of 20 Swedish representatives 18 are against and 2 have no track record (neither clearly against or supporting): https://saveyourinternet.eu/se/ You can see how representatives in other countries voted by…
Since the movement speed is tied to requestAnimationFrame, the speed of the game changes with the update frequency of the user's monitor. Since all my monitors are at 144Hz this game is ridiculously fast for me.
Both async generator functions and async iterators have been in the pipeline for a while. The proposed, and currently implemented syntax in Firefox and Chrome is `for await ... of`[0]. Creating an async generator…
I believe the survey uses ES6 (which officially is named ES2015) to refer to the "current version" of ECMAScript (which I suppose is ES2017). I don't know if the solution is to include each yearly release of ECMAScript…
Seems like a great time for someone to make an extension to show the "true" brand of products on Amazon. Nestlé is a great example of a company that people have tried to boycott and failed because of the sheer amount of…
While fine-grained extension sync isn't an option in Chrome, it's certainly possible to run different extensions on different machines using the same Google login - simply disable the extension sync once you have your…
Bionicle always had an issue balancing "re-usable pieces" and "one-of-a-kind pieces". The original single-piece torso[1] is a great example of a piece that has almost no other uses. Things slowly got better with more…
I suppose the author meant that the illusion of proper encryption is worse than simply storing the password as plaintext - especially when the encryption is presented as an opaque string instead of clearly stating that…
