Hm, cannot recall this one, but it reminded me of another magical trigger: to make HTML file loaded from local file (or CD-ROM, or whatever non-Internet) one had to pretend that given file was "Saved from (Internet)" with magical

From what I recall from aforementioned incident, I was not able to reliably prove that client app (Eclipse) really used Windows' curl (I would have guessed that such software would have it's own internal stack for network connecti

Speaking of strange Microsoft CURL variants, have you ever faced problem with HTTP2 in practically any network client (for example Eclipse strangely failing all attempts to fetch from new HTTP2-enabled Maven) that could be traced to C

These are (presumably) for things that even user styles are not supposed to be able to "break". Sifting through https://meiert.com/en/blog/user-agent-style-sheets/ shows quite reasonable things such

Well the `!important` is a good example if general misunderstanding of the core basics of the CSS: the cascade. People usually think it means something like "override everything what was declared up until now in a way I don't nee

And it is quite easy to get there the "intuitive" way, especially if you are an avid reader [1]: `git help` lists "common Git commands" and mentions that 'git help -a' and 'git help -g' list ava

Chiming in with tangentially related TIL for Git help (on Windows): git <command> -h is usually what one needs: it prints abbreviated description with available parameters right into terminal. git <command> --help

Have you considered serving actual small transparent image with (private) caching headers set to expire at midnight (and not storing IPs at all)?

I think most mobile browsers emit "hover" state whenever you tap / drag / swipe over something in the page. "active" state is even more reliable IMO. But yes, you are right that it is problematic. Quoting MDN p

I think there might be more than ten [1] blind folks using computers out there, most of them not using pointing devices at all or not in a way that would produce "hover". [1] was it base ten, right?

by myfonj 3y ago
Seems clever and all, but `body:hover` will most probably completely miss all "keyboard-only" users and users with user agents (assistive technologies) that do not use pointer devices. Yes, these are marginal groups perhaps, but

I can subjectively confirm that Firefox feels snappier recently and deeply appreciate and enjoy all improvements. But I have some itching concerns about that methodology with heavy anonymisation and stuff there: Couldn't it be that the

Yup. My last "golfing" take was to use default font-size and fit viewBox accordingly: data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<link rel=icon href='data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org&#x

Interesting, thanks for the pointer. At this moment "Second-Chance Pool" [1] has 9 discrepancies with more than 2 hours difference, 20 hours max. That's pretty much on par with the front page, where max difference is 30 hours

Interesting idea; I'd thought that such merging is quite rare. Still quite a conundrum why to pick the newer date for the human readable "age", and the older date for the timestamp. At this moment I see discrepancies on the

One related thing I haven't learned from a glance at the pitch and GH: Does the desktop app make direct HTTP requests to target resources? Or are they similarly to web-app proxied through recipeui.com? Plus, is there a way for the web-

There is a native Windows shortcut for Send window to next/previous monitor: Win + Shift + Right/Left arrows. (Windows recently got bunch of keyboard shortcuts, some overridable, some not. Sometimes you can discover them only with

That's strange. From my point of view it you get lots of value in the beginning but there is some kind of cap beyond, that it is hard to get over. I think AHK has really easy onboarding, meaning you can get tremendous low-hanging benef

Yes, Win+<number> is also a gem that almost seems to be deliberately hidden, (like Win+T, Win+B). One thing that helps is to see actual numbers in the taskbar, what, to my knowledge, is currently possible in Windows 10 (only) with thi

Ah, sorry, my bad, it should have been "Escape" instead of ~"Windows key"~. `Alt + Escape`, that is. Thanks for pointing it out. Corrected. (You see, I almost never use this shortcut directly, b/c I only exploit

`:not(:first-child)` has specificity 0.1.0 that is some orders higher than 0.0.0 of `* + *` (since `:first-child` is a pseudoclass), so you'd have to adjust anything that you'd need to override it with. Strict equivalent of

Yes, there is a huge space for improvements there, besides sup-par speed, strange filtering and ordering, unintuitive focus management … but at least it is there and has chance to evolve. I'm quite convinced, that even five seconds de
