Bun's http server is basically µWebSockets (C++ library) under the hood. You can also use it in Node via µWebSockets.js, the official bindings.

MDN and caniuse say otherwise. I think there might've been an older specification that got implemented, but it's been revised since

Re:Firefox releases tab groups for nightly on Tuesday December 24, 2024 @07:06PM (#42505898)
They took the most upvoted ideas from the community forum and started implementing them. Maybe to win some users over, but I think it might be too late for this to have any impact on market share.

I'm also kinda disappointed they just copied the UI from Chrome instead of releasing a refreshed version of the previous implementation. Old Firefox tab groups were like Safari tab groups (or "workspaces" in Edge, Vivaldi, Zen and maybe others), and I think they are way better for organisation. Yeah, STG extension still exists, but having it built-in would be nice.

Some leaks suggest that 15th gen is achieving these results while consuming 100W less than 14th, but I guess we best wait for some real tests
It's using tab hiding, one of Firefox's non-standard extensions to the WebExtensions API. I believe this is also how Panorama used to work

By the way, built-in tab grouping is also on the list of features in development. Hopefully they don't go the Chrome way

Re:JavaScript Bloat in 2024 on Friday February 23, 2024 @03:46AM (#39478357)
100% agree. Most of these apps could definitely use some optimization, but trivializing them to something like "wow few MBs of javascript just to show a text box" makes this comparison completely useless
Re:How to center a div in CSS on Wednesday February 14, 2024 @08:19AM (#39369449)
I think this was exclusive to Chrome.

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40431598

Seems like they managed to kinda fix it in some cases, but some of the reproductions provided in the issue tracker are still working, so I would be careful

Re:How to center a div in CSS on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @07:40PM (#39364870)
Centering like this can make your element blurry on non-hidpi screens, because transforms are not snapped to the pixel grid like layout properties, and 50% can sometimes land on a subpixel
Ah right. But it will be a bit problematic, since the subnet size may vary between different ISPs, no?
This a thing which boggles my mind. Does this mean everyone gets /64 addresses to circumvent IP bans?

I wonder how many people actually add "stackoverflow" to their search queries. For me it's basically never, because it usually will be the first result anyway

Huh. At work, I did the same for a WYSIWYG editor we had to implement, but it always felt wrong for me. After looking for a native editor library I was surprised how little I could find. I can sleep a little better knowing that even the heavy hitters resort to webview sometimes

Reload signal?

> Once the master process receives the signal to reload configuration, it checks the syntax validity of the new configuration file and tries to apply the configuration provided in it. If this is a success, the master process starts new worker processes and sends messages to old worker processes, requesting them to shut down. Otherwise, the master process rolls back the changes and continues to work with the old configuration. Old worker processes, receiving a command to shut down, stop accepting new connections and continue to service current requests until all such requests are serviced. After that, the old worker processes exit.

Re:Why don’t we do email verification in reverse? on Sunday August 21, 2022 @04:19AM (#32538311)
When opening for the first time, Gmail asks to be registered as the mailto handler, but I guess people just hit "no" not knowing what's that about.

And there's probably a lot of web-based clients that didn't care to implement this, so yeah, if you want to use mailto links, you better have a big and patient customer support team at hand
