What? Firefox has supported the PWA standards for well over a decade at this point.

One of my old sites installed itself as a persistent PWA that made zero external network requests when relaunched.

It's even worse with schools. Most secondary schools I've clicked on over the years have had tonnes of 1-3 reviews from students complaining about getting a detention or other random nonsense.

wopian··on New in PHP 8
Is there a key for the different language colours? I figure PHP is blue because of Swoole, but the rest are just a sea of colours I have to Google the web framework of to find the language (on mobile at least).

What about BrickLink?
wopian··on What's the longest distance that can be traveled by using free transportation?
Yup Terminal 5 to Epping is possible for £1.50 (2 routes bypassing zone 1). Else its £5.10 direct through zone 1.

wopian··on Gov.uk content should be published in HTML and not PDF (2018)
The same applies to PDFs too. There are hundreds of PDF readers and not all of them support all the features besides feature deprecation. You could run flash in PDFs, so archived PDFs that utilized that will be broken.
wopian··on This Page is Designed to Last
If the site is being served over HTTP/2 then the 11 separate JS files is a good thing compared to a single 2MB JS file.

-

In my case it also has the added benefit of being able to cache JS for a long(er) period of time, with users only having to download maybe 0-30kb of JS when only 1 component is updated instead of invalidating the entire JS served (Way under 1MB however)

wopian··on Happy Hues – Curated colors in context
>so you could send links to specific palettes

Check out the pushState/replaceState/popstate API to update the URI without reloading the page, while still sending users with the link directly to that colour scheme.

wopian··on Why does 1.1.1.1 not resolve archive.is?
"not meant to be optional" is surely a suggestion and not a requirement?

i.e it's not "(...CDN...) then ECS should not be optional"

wopian··on Look out for the second 2019 GPS week number rollover
You'll still need to support browsers from 2009 ;)

wopian··on Yarn's Future – v2 and beyond
npm's lockfile is a pain to diff in PRs because of the JSON format where what was maybe 20 changed lines in yarn is upwards of 80 from the brackets.

With YAML and whatever format yarn.lock was in, the only changed lines are changes to the version resolutions, hash and dependencies.

wopian··on Does power really corrupt?
Dereliction of duty means that the person shamefully abandoned or failed to fulfill their obligation.

In this case, it's Umar letting the dog die of hunger instead of keeping the dog well fed.

wopian··on Why I Haven’t Fixed Your Issue Yet
Further adding to this it's now a blank page with awful positioning on mobile with a link to a plaintext archived copy of the page.
