As someone who primarily uses Safari on an 8GB Mac mini and 8GB MBA, I've found there's two things which reliably cause memory to spike. One is opening the developer tools. Have more than a couple tabs with the dev tools open and

Oh hell yes. Remember "progressive enhancement?" It feels like the last ten years of web dev has been the entire industry giving up on the idea that web pages are supposed to be pages.

MozJPEG is truly magical. My image editor of choice Acorn added it and I've been using it heavily ever since when I want to share a screenshot of reasonable fidelity but would rather it not be 3.8MB. https://flyingmeat.com&#

I think a useful test for this case could be pretty simple. Compress maybe 10% of the file (up to some reasonable maximum, like maybe a few megabytes) and check the compression ratio. If it's not something better than maybe 1.1x, give

So then what happens if someone's anonymity is stripped away? Do they sue the de-anonymizer, or does the de-anonymizer face criminal penalties? Or both? How does one determine an appropriate penalty for this sort of thing? Does it matt

No idea. As someone learning Zig currently and finding it quite pleasant, it disappoints me to see that happening. But I guess it depends on what your goals are. If you want this language to be used by as many people as possible, you want t

Would love to see a macOS build of NetSurf. It's supported in theory but there's nobody doing builds currently so it probably requires a bit of finagling to actually get done. I tried to do it myself but I just wasn't smart e

I agree that the finite-ness to Japanese syllabics is to its benefit, but I think the idea that that's a massive benefit to children is a bit… patriotic, perhaps? Children are language learning machines and your grandson would be makin

Yes, exactly, thank you. Nobody used WebP, and then Chrome used WebP, and now everybody has to use WebP because of Chrome's dominance, regardless of whether there might be better alternatives out there. They're trying to do the sa
