I think it’s less about being able to spend the money (of course you can) than needing to spend it.

Do you really need a 100-million yacht and a 20-bedroom villa? No.

I recently dropped my last shared hosting in favor of Vercel/Netlify and some content was lost. This solution wouldn’t work for me because the very reason why the content was lost is that I don’t want to pay for hosting I barely use.

A better solution would be an intermediary part that never changes — say, CloudFlare — that caches HTML pages forever, automatically adds a “Archived content” header to the page, and warns the author so that they can either allow the archived version or make it a 404/410 instead.

Nobody wants to maintain servers forever, but serving static/frozen pages is much easier and cheaper.

Disability isn’t a choice

WordPress does this by default and that’s the most common platform to date. I’d dare to say that most websites have those attributes, but most SPAs don’t, because that’s too hard.

The attributes are overridden by CSS. You should have:

    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;

What the other user is talking about is a new feature that FINALLY uses the attributes to preserve the ratio before the image starts loading.

Kinda ridiculous that we had to wait 8 years of “responsive design” before they realized that this was always supposed to happen.

I hope you don't use that since it randomly returns either an element or a list of elements, so you'd have to also add an if/else every time you use it.

This is my go-to:

    const $ = document.querySelector.bind(document);
    const $$ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);

Tip: browser consoles already have these shortcuts, except $$ returns an actual array there instead of a NodeList.

It's up to you to chose reasonable modules by reasonable developers. Notice I didn't call it a library, it's a 1kb module that has the code from the example + fixes you'd want anyway.

Which link are you more likely to click on?

- GitHub satanically messing with Markdown - changes 666 to DCLXVI

- GitHub changes numbers to Roman numerals in lists

I’d call it functional clickbait.

That’s why you should put a pass phrase on it. Firefox syncs my passwords but has to ask for my master password at launch. Same goes for Google Chrome’s passwords: they’re encrypted at rest and can’t be displayed online for that reason, you have to sync with Chrome.

For those who are more familiar with npm, there are two packages for this by Sindre Sorhus. You can run them without preinstalling them with npx, if you wish:

    npx speed-test
    npx fast-cli

The second one uses fast.com

eval doesn’t work with some CSP settings, the article mentions this and other limits of previous solutions.
