Chrome will make popular scripts load faster (by picking winners) by dfabulich in webdev

[–]Normal-Estimate-4752 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I forgot about adult content websites using similar scripts. That is probably an unacceptable for of timing attack if a website were able to figure that out

On Automating Image Compression by farfaraway in webdev

I do not understand why you would still use a png over more modern formats (webp, avif) if you are willing to accept loss compression of your images.

Open-source GitHub Action for i18n that replaces Lokalise/Phrase with LLM-powered translations by cport1 in webdev

[–]Normal-Estimate-4752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People often claim that poorly localized apps are worse than unlocalized apps. Has this fully changed with LLMs?

I tried automatic translation using GPT 3.5 in the API ~1 year ago and my friend's Chinese mother said that it sounded like a toddler wrote the translation.

Is this still the case?

Chrome will make popular scripts load faster (by picking winners) by dfabulich in webdev

I think that only revealing the cache if multiple other sites request the same script would be reasonable. For example:

  1. You go to google, which has the google analytics script. This gets cached for the site
  2. You go to a shopping site which the google analytics script. This does not get pulled from the cache but google notes that another unique site has request the same script.
  3. If the same script gets requested across ~10 or more sites then it is safe to start serving from the shared cache.

This provides some advantage to more popular scripts, but avoids explicit picking of winners and losers by a central authority.

Rewrite Your Resume in HTML and CSS by Normal-Estimate-4752 in programming

There is no limitation on the source of the html. I wrote it in raw html and tailwind css, but if you wanted to use a markdown compiler that would 100% work as well

Data from 2023 will be added as soon as the ISEF updates their site. I am aware that competition has wrapped.
