Hi buddy you might be colorblind: git diff uses green for added things, not blue. That includes --color-words. You might've also changed your color theme and forgotten. You can pipe through less (or something else that doesn't und

I'm not entirely sure what the valid_range is doing. Besides updating it, do you use this index for anything else? I agree the performance doesn't seem like it would be great. I do something like 4000 inserts a second, but maybe o

That did not surprise me because I did not think the article was about anything but about adapting the dot-net library they linked to on Microsoft's site to swift, and I figured that if I wanted to understand the library and the approa

Exactly. If someone can harm your website on accident, they can absolutely harm it on purpose. If you feel like you need to do anything at all, I would suggest treating it like any other denial-of-service vulnerability: Fix your server or y

One thing I really don't like about it is the implication that the url and the share-button could refer to different things. I feel like browser vendors probably care about knowing whether users use the share button or copy/past

Nonsense. Following this line of reasoning is that putting percentages on billions is intellectually dishonest: You don't have to go any further than that. It is perhaps out of ignorance (now you know), but if you try to make it about

I think you're confusing throughput with latency. You're right nobody processes a million DOM nodes with XSLT in a browser, but you're wrong about everything else: WASM has a huge startup cost. Consider applying stylesheet pr

None of this convinces me the fantasy-scenario is likely, nor that passkeys would do anything to solve it: If the sign-in partner sends login-codes via email that it accepts via proxy servers, they're definitely not going to implement
