I remember that the WeWork location I went to used to scan (and likely siphon/store) all that data as part of the front desk check-in. And they really didn't need it either, but were very insistent on doing so before letting someo

They are made that way on purpose because it has been proven that those "reaction face" thumbnails generate the most clicks. Unfortunately humans are like that. For the final form, check out the "Mr. Beast" channel'

Just to add another reason why captchas are useful - a platform I operate was recently targeted by stolen CC testers that registered thousands of accounts to make the cheapest possible purchase on our site. I had to deal with the fallout, t

Here's a question I have for when e.g. Chrome supports JPEG XL: currently, if you have a <picture> with avif, webp, jpeg, it prioritises them in that order. But with JPEG XL added into the mix, which one is chosen by the browser?

Does anyone have more details on this point: "Support for Ed25519 cryptography." ? I imagine it's part of SubtleCrypto, is it based on https://wicg.github.io/webcrypto-secure-curves/ ?

I am not impressed when the homepage lags badly on my Samsung S10e. I would imagine this is due to the transparent background blurring Fluent design loves, which stops after the "newsworthy" header. At least the docs are smooth

I think it's due to cookies. That's why there's e.g. googleusercontent.com, ggpht.com etc. That way if users find a way to upload malicious content (or e.g. blog is compromised) you can't get users' Google cookies

More closely related to gRPC, Protobufs over HTTP is great too. You can then take advantage of cache-control, last-modified, etc headers in browsers and on CDNs instead of having to reimplement them. My current favorite way to make APIs is

Just to be clear since you replied to my comment, coding demonstrations are almost never a part of my interview process. That's not the part I was complaining about. Once I have narrowed down the potential applicants to a few, I do 15-
