OpenType has an extension that allows you to define multiple weights. It doesn't seem nearly as powerful as METAFONT, though; you can just specify a set of offsets to apply to each point in each letter shape: https://docs.mi

As parent comments mention, sending back the whole-page response when you vote on a comment is a great idea if you have JavaScript disabled or aren't logged in. But it'd be a quick performance win if it didn't do that when

I don't think the private methods proposal will help with cryptography at all. The "security" it provides boils down to making it difficult for code outside the class to access the value, like you can already do with closures

In practice, a lot of complexity in front-end development comes because front-end developers only solve problems by adding layers of abstraction, never removing them. Like, in vanilla JavaScript, you have a single global tree representing t

That's the whole point, isn't it? Google wants web sites to load more quickly without needing to reduce the size or number of resources they send. Consuming more bandwidth seems like the only way to square that circle.

Shared hosting frequently scaled based on usage! They often had limited disk space, bandwidth, and sometimes even CPU cycles, and either you could pay to increase the limit or they'd bill you for overages. For an extreme example, here&
