Gmail and similar providers proxy all image URLs they receive at the time they receive the email, so you can't tell when a user later opens the email. That said there might be bugs to make your images un-cacheable such that Gmail still

Yep. When Gmail first introduced this image proxy feature in 2013 it started showing images in emails by default, which is great. I researched blog posts from then and apparently a workaround that still worked was to serve a fake HTTP Conte

Yeah, the "weekend-ness" of Friday is interesting. Actually I could extend that to the last couple days, in relative time. For example, if it's Thursday, and I said "last Monday", that would actually be kind of conf

It's partly a reflection of the web and web browsers. Yes, the goal is "don't break the web," but with each new release the odds that a website from "decades in the past" will continue to work today are slim. I

If it's Saturday, and you're sending an email or text to confirm Monday's plans, you'd more likely to say "this Monday" than you would say "next Monday," though? I agree with you, "this <weekd

Apple added requirements for their store to publish extensions, yes. They also added more privacy prompts. If you don’t test on MacOS in Safari, how would you know if your extension works correctly? Why not ask Apple to release macOS for an

If you can't afford to cross-browser test, and you don't have a Mac, I'm not sure why you're building an extension for a Mac-only browser then? Someone has to test it on a Mac, register for a certificate with Apple, etc.

But you need Safari to test the extension and Safari only has these extensions on a Mac? This is Apple’s way of avoiding their store getting cluttered with extensions that haven’t been tested to work on Safari. And yes, it also encourages d

That last restriction (Safari requiring Xcode) isn’t always a limitation, though. Most CI platforms support Mac for publishing apps to that platform. For instance, GitHub: https://link.medium.com/63hjdbRBQgb and the Safari

There was a time when Go was considered a “systems language” only, and very little web development was done with it. Same with Node.js V8, which initially had very little going for it. Every language starts without much of an ecosystem. If

There’s been a decent amount of standardization on top of Tokio’s implementation of async (green threads). If a library didn’t support it at first, they probably now do using features in your project.toml requirements.[1][2] That said, I ag
