   I was interested to learn about 'no-cors' where you get a sparse response. Was hoping to use it to find out if a web page was being accessed from a client's internal network or not (by trying to get a page that only existed t

   I didn't know about strings and I've been using Linux for years now. I like that there's lots still to learn. I mean, there's a lot I don't understand about macOS but that's somehow less fun

    We support IE11. Mainly high end websites and web apps about employee benefits. I think one of the main drivers of IE support is clients who will test in IE because it's their default browser or only allowed browser at work.

    I'd love to see some stats on page load times etc. There's a lot of repetitive debate on HN about JS web apps slowing things down and I'd like to know if the effects would be as bad if you could use the latest browser tools u

    I get that this is for learning purposes, but doesn't this tutorial start by making your database insecure?

    Isn't he just describing his emotional response though? I think it's valid to be annoyed about something you specifically allow in your license... So long as you don't try to stop it?

    How about a more generalised collaboration system, where you just edit your files lot Cally as standard, but can kind of dial in using o collaboration - a bit like a screen share on a call. So suddenly the people you've dialled can lea

    'Cool's cool.' I don't have my hard copy here and Google is failing me but this is addressed by Terry Pratchett in (I think) Only You Can Save Mankind. The context is some teen-agers talking about how it's not cool

    I haven't got a solution here, but it's extra friction for them to do this, you have a time window for processing and not all trolls will bother, so you would still have a better experience for other users by implementing it
