Am I the only one who (still) does not feel comfortable seeing JavaScript being intertwined into the so-called "vanilla" web in a way that seems more like a hard dependency and not the progressive enhancement we were taught should

The fun, even hilarious part here is, that the "fix" was most probably basically just replacing […] match the user’s vibe […] (sic!), with literally […] avoid ungrounded or sycophantic flattery […] in the system

Was not sure if sensor in pitch dark would catch some other radiation and output some pixel "grain" seen from high ISO or not, but from what I tried, visually the photo seems pretty black, so the method seems to be surprisingly us

Last time I used an Android (Galaxy) phone, to have a solid pitch-black background (which I thought made sense for modern phone displays energy-wise, besides looking pretty swell), I had to download — yes, D-O-W-N-L-O-A-D — some black image

My pleasure :] N.b., if you'd like to try fiddling with Backdooms in that Sandbox, either use the "original" HTML payload (with or without `data:text/html,` prefix in the content), or use "verbatim" (`data:text

Yeah, sadly, top-level dataURIs are increasingly neglected and banished from browsers, mainly because they were misused for scams in the past; for example no modern browser allows navigating to top-level dataURI by clicking a link. Only boo

You don't even need the base64 encoding for dataURIs: just throw the text payload after mime-type and a comma: data:text/html,<!doctype html><title>Hi!</title><p>Hello. This is also a valid se

Ah, overlooked they actually acknowledge the "cap" directly in the preceding paragraph, and even put it into "coming decades" time frame. Makes much more sense now, thanks for the pointer! Still a bit confused about the

I'd call it semi-buried, since it is not isolated from the atmosphere, so in a long term I suspect that almost all its mass gets re-circulated back again – still through microbes, fungi, insects, and perhaps living root systems of surr

In the long term they will decompose and return vast majority of its carbon back into atmosphere. Blame fungi and bacteria.

I am surprised there is no policy that would allow inline event handlers set in the initial payload (or stuff emitted by document.write), but neuter any done after initial render by `….setAttribute('on…', …)`. That would keep &quo

Not that it is important, just spotted that the page's HTTP headers report impressive Last-Modified: Sun, 26 May 2002 22:33:04 GMT (And the HTML code structure matches that era perfectly.)

I found it devastating that there are no distinct agreed-upon words denoting zero- and one-based addressing. Initially I thought that the word "index" clearly denotes zero-base, and for one-base there is "order", "p

Well English is not my first language, so I probably tend to go through text more slowly and/or scan the text differently, so I have higher chance stumbling upon these oddities. (I can confirm that sometimes I see unexpected amount of

This adds another twist, since I'd bet nowadays most CVs are processed (or at least pre-screened) by "AI": we're in a ridiculous situation where applicants feed a few bullet points to AI to generate full-blown polished r

Could this be the reason I immensely dislike when webpages include blocks of inverse background/text, or generally combine light-text-on-dark with dark-text-on-light elements?

Yes, I guess there could be some intention behind that, presumably some security precautions, but still: the fact that you can see $ in the globalThis (as a non-enumerable prop), and that globalThis you see from inside the timeout-ed functi

Fun fact: browsers' devtools consoles have de-facto standardized convenience aliases for querying the DOM, similar to jQuery [0][1][2][3][4]. This means you could do something as simple as: setInterval(()=>$('.main-btn&#x

And maybe also the press duration; even with preserved auto-repeat, there seems to be quite a variety in typing: getting duration from key-down to key-up between 30 and 120 milliseconds. Naturally we can "squeeze" it up to auto-re

I think it could be neat to leverage ligatures, i.e. preceding glyph could either affect the seed of the next or even make different "cursive" connecting swashes. Words could become pictures with individual "glyphs" ble
