We've investigated and found the bug: https://crbug.com/559302209

It's not just Google.com but any site using Compression Dictionary Transport (which google.com was an early adopter of - https://developer.chrome.com/blog/search-compression-diction...). The shared dictionaries are an additional storage added with this feature but are not getting correctly cleared on close.

A fix is being worked on to resolve that. Follow above bug if interested when that lands...

Site owner here! Even if it did take that long, browsers are clever enough not to wait until all the HTML is fetched as HTML can be processed in a streaming fashion. You can see here that stylesheets https://www.webpagetest.org/customWaterfall.php?test=240913_... are requested from the first bunch of HTML.

A second is little disappointing, but in fairness my lowly, single CPU, single core server with only 1 GB of RAM (a t2.micro server on AWS) was struggling a little with the load that Hacker News sent to it yesterday (16,000 page views in a day compared to about a third of that number for the whole month before that!). Plus the images on this page are a particularly big (because they are quite detailed so can't compress them more without losing that detail). So it was probably a bit slower than usual. At the minute everything is served from that one server (no CDN either at the mo - I really should stick it behind Cloudflare). It was a little play thing for me to test stuff out with, that became an occasional blog too on the side.

Looks like we didn't support SETOF.

Added this here: https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/1522

Demonstrating how easy it is to add this sort of thing to the project thanks to how the code is structured! :-)

They’ve been proposed!: https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries-5/#prefers-reduced-dat...

You can already do this with JavaScript now: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NetworkInfo... though as you can see from the bottom of that link, Browser support is limited at the moment (and experimental so may even be removed/changed!).

From the post: “That leads nicely into the privacy implications of using third-party CDNs. You have no idea what sort of tracking they are doing to your users by using them, rather than self-hosting. And recent legislation means a lot of sites have to explicitly list all the cookies used on the site, which gets more complicated when using a third-party.“

Is any site using this? It requires a special certificate and signing your content (which admittedly Cloudflare will take care of for you) but even then it’s only for Chrome and Firefox and Apple have said they won’t support it. Over a year after announcing it I’ve yet to find a single site that does this.
