It's a very subtle difference but noticeable in the anti-aliasing.
I don't have Windows right now, so I haven't tested if the change's closer to Firefox - but Firefox always had some heavy antialiasing on Windows, which I wasn't a fan of.
Chances are you have "ed" installed on your currently used machine, but I doubt it was ever opened.
With that said, I'm quite surprised that jQuery is not abandoned, barely heard about it in the past decade or so. I suspect also that it is mostly part of boilerplate coming from other libraries and frameworks, and rarely intentional.
Basically for learning/interactive tutorials, trying out something quickly in different PHP versions (which is cumbersome right now), secure and easy demos for themes and plugins.
I'd say that most of the websites still use HTML/CSS/JS and are server-side rendered - well, at least 40%+ of the web does (WordPress).
The distinction mainly is in the apps. Yes, web apps almost always use a framework like React now. Others have already explained the whys.
However, it's still possible to do webapps the traditional way, with the server-side approach, adding only a little interactivity via JS - techs like LiveView and HotWire: https://hotwired.dev/
On a lot of subjects, sending cold email AT ALL is pushing the envelope. It might be convenient for you to communicate with somebody, but that doesn't mean it's acceptable for you to waste their time.
Unless you have a specific reason to believe that there's been some error in the way your email was handled, or unless you have some positive right to a claim on the person's attention, following up IN ANY WAY is beyond the pale.
Yeah, unless you have some kind of prior relationship with the person, it seems extremely weird and annoying to send follow-ups when they haven't answered. Unless you work in PR and that's your job or something.
I agree. I rarely ever use new tools, but I switched to Notion a few years ago and even recommended it to many friends and colleagues.
Big mistake. Lessons learned. It's been slow and buggy all this time but I still kept using it. The final nail in the coffin was it started using 15-20% of a CPU core on IDLE, and has been doing so for 5+ months. Tried everything and gave up. Going back to simple text files.
I have used PHP as a replacement for even shell scripts, like perl and python, a lot in the past. The best thing is the very strong standard lib. Everything's built-in. I like node as well, but having to install so many packages just for that one file script is a major annoyance.
Curious how useful is an IP address with a simple HTTP get request?
As long as a sane Referer-Policy is set, the Referer won't be sent. Sure there's a lot more to browser fingerprinting but with just an HTTP request, all the data that would be known from it is the language and the user agent. Both of which are not unique data points and shared by thousands of other users. No cookies either in this case of Google Fonts.
You are logged in to to google and so are your family members.
You visit YouTube.com from IP X with device (user agent) Y.
Your family member visits YouTube.com from IP X with device Z.
Google Fonts gets a request via the API key of mydomain.de from IP X and device Y.
Google now knows that you visited mydomain.de
Edit: I stand corrected that Google Fonts doesn't use an API key.
I suspect they still can correlate the font request with the domain, however I have no proof.
Consider this an example for other services like maps.
Several people and devices could be shared by the same IP though, either who are on the same network or in the vicinity of the same mobile mast (or in the same mall or restaurant)... that's why IP often isn't used as conclusive evidence that you are the same person just because you are on the same IP.
Well technically you share a lot more data. IP, browser agent, time (which in combination with IP can tell exactly who used that specific computer) and cookies set on the *.google.com domain.
So it's actually interesting that the court only focused on the IP-address although the ruling would probably have been the same even if they widened the scope.
So how valuable would it be to you if I would share with you that I spent $20 yesterday on shopping groceries. Probably not so much. But if I would share with you 90% of my spending, you might be able to infer a lot more information about me.
So the question isn't how useful the single request is, but rather what can be done with a lot of these requests. And Google and Facebook are specialists in generating lots of said requests with services like google fonts and like-buttons. And once you realize that the sum of these requests is so valuable that they are considered personal information, you want to protect them with laws.
These laws, like the GDPR, are already in place and this is one of the instances where someone didn't respect such a law. So you can argue now, that this single request isn't so valuable, but isn't that true for every penny of a million dollars?
I understand what you're saying but it doesn't exactly address my curiosity of this specific case of HTTP GET requests for font files (no JS, no iframe, and no cookies either in this case).
Your thoughts about a like button widget, or even Google Analytics are perfectly valid. But I am talking about this specific topic under discussion, Google Fonts.
One distinction: Reactive Hypoglycemia. Even with low GI carbs, it may still happen. Small meals or keto is the fix.
When it comes to health, things are rarely that simple. Even medical professionals have knowledge gaps, let alone someone who isn't one. I'd be careful to make assumptions.
Heck, many people assume the other person's a snowflake, when in fact their patience and pain tolerance may be miles above yours.
It's the same as reductionists advice on complex health issues where you advice someone to try X based on your 5-mins reading material, when surely someone suffering for years have tried all of that in thousands of hours of searching for the magic fix.
That seems like a rather premature conclusion. WHO mentioned:
> Data which looked at hospitalizations across South Africa between 14 November and 4 December found that ICU occupancy was only 6.3 % – which is very low compared with the same period when the country was facing the peak linked to the Delta variant in July.
Did they account for previous infection or vaccination status? What if a lot of these are breakthroughs/reinfections. Considering excess deaths in South Africa, their national data on number of cases is sort of, doubtful [1].
Further, they seem to have observed mainly a population under 40.
