Browser caching is nicer with service workers - you can use the cached version and load/install the updated version in the background, so that the user can get the updated version on their next refresh.

These types of tests tend to be unfair to actual web apps, since they only really account for first-time-use. Twitter is slow in this experiment because it has to load a bunch of JavaScript up front. But that's not the case in practica

It sounds like whoever wrote that page doesn't know much about software licensing. Doesn't make me confident that w3schools has improved as much as people say it has. However, it does seem to be MIT-licensed. Linked from the downl

I'm seeing that Firefox behavior in Chrome. It seems to rewrite the link when it gets a mousedown event. Once I right-click, or if I left-click and then drag (to avoid an actual page navigation), the new hovered URL is the google.com&#

That definitely seems like a major flaw with Bing's search ads. They should be either deriving that green domain name, or verifying it matches the link, or at least verifying that you own that domain. I can't find a current Bing s

Likely this was a standalone PDF reader hack (rather than a browser), since those can have many more features and a much larger attack surface. It says it was an offer letter, so my guess is that opening it in the browser came up with an er

Twitter allows alt text but it's dependent on the user including it when they post (@collision did not) and it's limited to 1000 characters.

It's not always the case that a high reply/like ratio is someone being "owned", but it's obviously more concrete than tea leaves. Twitter's lack of a real downvote/dislike incentivizes people to reply to a

Can't wait until companies expand their fake-phishing email programs to include this. Randomly like once a month your phone will get spammed at 1am and if you allow the request, then you have to attend a phishing training session.

It seems like he's promoting the wrong aspect of blockchain here; the benefit is immutability. The fact that you can't `npm unpublish` from the blockchain does fit the use case. But you don't need blockchain for immutabilit

Having used both a lot, I disagree that JS/ES6 is a nicer language. ES6 has a couple unique cool features, but also a decent amount of baggage from older JS. What major features does JS/ES6 have that Dart lacks?

MediaLab probably got Kik at a pretty big discount. There were child grooming issues, and at one point they did an ICO and subsequently got fined by the SEC. They were also indirectly responsible for the whole leftpad disaster lol.

How is a magic url really any different from a magic login cookie in this case? Yeah, I guess you can't revoke it, but what's the difference if the new cookie/url is equally unguessable?
