The really funky part of the IE6 PNG fix was that the URL of the image in the expression was always relative to the current page URL, not the CSS file that the declaration was in. I remember having to use Javascript to generate the image pa

A stray "J" I encountered years ago: a certain client's support tickets would often end with a single "J", which was a little confusing as it was not one of their name initials. After a brief investigation, the orig

An alternative to the paste commands is vipe (vi + pipe?) from moreutils which opens an $EDITOR that returns the contents once saved and closed. It helps with pasting special chars, newlines, and remote sessions without access to the local

I owned an Alienware laptop (M17X R4) many years ago that had a dedicated HDMI input. It was a strange laptop. MXM socketed GPU, 120Hz screen that came with Nvidia 3DVision shutter glasses, and the worst battery life I've ever experien

I'm guessing Google is avoiding the scenario where a contributor "accidentally" commits code with a bug, then later reports the bug they "found".

I'd always assumed the opposite, seeing as a browser's primary function is to parse HTML text into DOM nodes as efficiently as possible. But on the other hand, since document.write (rightfully) gets such little usage - and has a m

The most obvious downside for me was remote terminal windows (e.g. using ttyd) being unusable because canvas rendering was "broken".

I'd use `yield from` more if I didn't have to re-index arrays before yielding from them: function numbers() { yield from [1,2,3]; yield from [4,5,6]; }; foreach (numbers() as $k => $v) { echo &quo

It's great to see more progress around scroll snapping - I'll have to check out this scroll-state container query and the new events. The biggest missing scroll-snap feature I see is the ability to tell a scrolling container to &q

For a long time GA had no method to back up or extract the data. It also excluded itself from ADB backups. One had to root their phone to extract the data.

I've used caddy-docker-proxy in production and it doesn't cause Caddy to drop connections when loading a new config. I just tested it locally to check and it works fine.

CSS now has the ability to override some font metrics, so you shouldn't need to edit the font files directly. And these overrides can be applied to local fonts as well (generally used to ensure the metrics of the local fallback font ma

Exactly. And I find this is also the best explanation to give to people who don't have a maths background, but who still want to know "Why does the calculator say ERROR?"

I think it was to provide an indication that the password was correct at a glance. (IIRC the number of dots in the password field was also generated, so it didn't necessarily match the number of chars) The image was essentially a simpl

I believe most of the issues with broken link behaviour results from the lack of higher-level methods to override the default link behaviour. An example: I don't really want to add a click event listener to a link to make it display in

My mother uses both "double-storey" a and "loop-tail" g in all her handwriting, even throwaway notes and shopping lists. Most likely due to working for many years as a graphic artist/signwriter.

The biggest problem with MPG is its inverse nature makes it a bad unit to use to compare cars. A 20 MPG car is not twice as efficient as a 10 MPG car. http://www.mpgillusion.com/p/what-is-mpg-illusion.html L/100km

Even if it's not trivial to solve perfectly, there are easy wins to be had. For example: prevent changing the top-level category of a product. E.g. Shoes should not be allowed to become camera gear.

But the AI should not have learned to apply a Gaussian deconvolution kernel. If anything it should be applying a lens-based bokeh kernel instead. A true lens blur does not behave like a Gaussian blur.

Yeah, The Cicada Principle[0] is a really neat trick. I remember it doing the rounds in web design circles back in the early 2010's https://web.archive.org/web/20131201024352/http://www.sitepo...
