Even then, many larger websites have technologies in place to mask the http-referer on outgoing links. This is to avoid…

CSS px is an Angular Measurement
The “px” unit in CSS doesn't really have anything to do with screen pixels, despite the poorly chosen name. It's actually an non-linear angular measurement. The formulæ to convert between radians and px are as follows:

Unintuitive JSON Parsing
Despite the goal of JSON being a subset of JavaScript — which it failed to achieve (update: this was fixed ) — parsing JSON is quite unlike parsing a programming language. For invalid inputs, the specific cause of error is often counter-intuitive. Normally this doesn’t matter, but I recently ran into a case where it…

AM – Attribute Modules for CSS
A few months ago, I read an article by Harry Roberts where he introduced an interesting concept for working with related classes in CSS.

Why I'm Excited About Native CSS Variables
A few weeks ago CSS variables—more accurately known as CSS Custom Properties—shipped in Chrome Canary behind the Experimental Web Platform Features flag.[1] When Chrome engineer Addy Osmani first tweeted about the release, he was met with a surprising amount of negativity, hostility, and skepticism. At least, it was…

Xkcd meets reality

In the comic, mathematicians scribbled frantically and raced to Paul Erdos’ grave to get him to sign a document that is presumably co-authorship on a paper. (For the uninitiated, read about the Erdos…

Trying to make web applications federated is a popular effort. Examples include things like the “fediverse”, as well as various other efforts, like attempts to make distributed software forges, and so on.

Stop crawling my HTML – use the API
One of the (many) depressing things about the "AI" future in which we're living, is that it exposes just how many people are willing to outsource their critical thinking. Brute force is preferred to thinking about how to efficiently tackle a problem. For some reason, my websites are regularly targetted by "scrapers"…
