Re: htmx ... interesting but not valid HTML
Hi, Thanks for that. For some time I've thought the web has become a disaster zone. Not only are the pages laden with so much rubbish that you can't read the source, but some "developers" have no idea what they're doing (though they know how to "drive" a "framework" or ...

Re: htmx ... interesting but not valid HTML
Interesting.
What is the uptake on the htmx technology? Are a lot of people using it? Is it growing?
Could be a better approach than some of these strait-jacketing "frameworks" that so many are using.
How does it fit sites that are not single pages?

HTTP Archive Report
Hi, The archive is producing reports based on a subset of pages they handle. It's based on automated analyses of pages which record all manner of details, as found on real sites. This includes all manner of measurements about fonts, css, markup, page weight and more. I haven't read it all but found ...

Re: Best domain name registrar
I picked up a couple of things about GoDaddy recently. I haven't examined them in detail, but you might want to look more deeply. (I'm not entirely sure what's going on.) GoDaddy, Certificate revocation took longer than it ought to have and seems to have not been done very well: You need to read it ...

Re: Interesting installation
I've been snowed under for a while so glad to be getting back to something more normal. Maybe a note when the full uninstall comes up. I leave the previous version installed until after the new one is running. When I saw that I thought "Does that remove the prior version?" and decided not ...

Interesting installation
When I installed version 2021 Ent on a Win 10 machine I had an interesting experience. I went through picking my normal installation directory but presumably made a mistake and installed in the default directory. When I realised what I'd done, I uninstalled from there and re-installed in my normal p...

Re: Windows 10 Edge browser bugs and Windows 10
I think it really sad that browsers as components are now hard to do. This is an important part of many potential software solutions. Without it we're forced to use browsers plus web servers.

Re: Mozilla layoffs
Thanks for that. I find it disturbing of how the " free browser " game has played out. It's led to the rise of advertising , and with users hooked on it, they end up wasting so much (Their time , getting bad content , bandwidth ...) I wonder how much the value of the deal influenced the la...

Re: Mozilla layoffs
Second set of layoffs recently. Their revenue stream has been like that for a long time. They know that Google will eventually go for the jugular. This is one reason I'd much rather pay for a browser, a browser that actually does what I want. Then I wouldn't be in the hands of designers who don't ca...

Mozilla layoffs
I see that Mozilla is laying off 25% of its people.

We are in danger of going in the wrong direction. I see suggestions that Chromium may fork.

Re: Pages that are altered by the browser
By the earlier web I'm thinking of my experience. True there was a lot of ugly material and bad intent but there were also a good number of people doing inventive and powerful things. I remember multiple scripting languages, I even had somebody sending me instructions on how to plug my own language ...

Re: Pages that are altered by the browser
It's an interesting area. The likes of Pocket and Instapaper show some of the possibilities. The 85X metric suggests that less than 2% of web traffic is useful to the audience. Think about that. We get more than 80 times greater capacity from the existing web if we ditch the garbage. People do serio...

Pages that are altered by the browser
Some browsers have reading modes that alter the content we create. Here's an extension of that, under development, which does more. ( This page is from 2018, development is under way. ) https://brave.com/speed-reader/ I wonder what this sort of thing will do to web development? It might increase the...

Re: Mixture of line endings in a single file, how to correct it
Yep I had the dubious pleasure of using a Teletype machine many years ago. I remember how carriage return and line feed were distinct "commands". It looks deliberate. With two symbols there are 3 ways of doing it (barring LFCR) and we've got all of them. That tool is a great way of doing i...
