Font hinting is an opportunity to get on-screen text rendering as close to the art of printing as the available screen technologies allow.
When I have written my article for Trandoshan [/building-fast-modern-web-crawler/] I didn't expect so much positive feedback. More than 15k views on the article, hundred stars on the Github repository... I am very happy about it. My first plan was to stop the development right after 1.0.0 was working and the article was published in order to move on new project(s). But despite of that I have had several cool features in mind. Since the project seems to interest some people I have decided to im
Many devices now support an operating system wide dark mode or dark theme experience. This post explains how dark mode can be supported on web pages, lists best practices, and introduces a custom element named dark-mode-toggle that allows web developers to offer users a way to override their operating system level preference on specific web pages.

In the early days of computing, 1 + 1 didn’t always equal 10
Face it: nobody likes fractions, not even computers.
SpeedScript is a word processor originally printed as a type-in machine language listing in 1984-85 issues of Compute! and Compute!'s Gazette magazines. Approximately 5 KB in length, it provided many of the same features as commercial word processing packages of the early 8-bit era, such as PaperClip and Bank Street Writer. Versions were published for the Apple II, Commodore 64 and 128, Atari 8-bit family, VIC-20, and for MS-DOS. Versions In April 1983 Compute! published Scriptor, a word processor written by staff writer Charles Brannon in BASIC and assembly language, as a type-in program for the Atari 8-bit family. In January 1984 version 1.0 of his new word processor SpeedScript appeared in Compute!'s Gazette for the Commodore 64 and VIC-20. 1.1 appeared in Compute!'s Second Book of Commodore 64, 2.0 on Gazette Disk in May 1984, and 3.0 in Compute! in March and April 1985. Corrections that updated 3.0 to 3.1 appeared in May 1985, and the full version appeared in a book published by Compute!, SpeedScript: The Word Processor for the Commodore 64 and VIC-20. A 3.2 update...

Let me tell you … karma is a bitch.
Who doesn’t like a nice bit of ‘ASCII Art’? I know I certainly do!
A long time ago, when computing was a big boring business, something unexpected happened. Cheap microprocessors, intended for teletypes and stop-lights, were pressed into service as *personal computer...
For my ten years in the Erlang community, I decided to cover a few topics such as hype phases and how this related to Erlang, the ladder of ideas within the language and how that can impact adoption, what changed in my decade there, and what I think Erlang still has to bring to the programming community at large.
How many sites use {robots,humans,security}.txt files? That’s the question I wanted to answer. I got curious about the usage & adoption of
„To je přece jasný, ne? Funkcí mail(). Takový blbý dotazy. Na to přece není potřeba psát celý článek.“ No... ne tak docela. Funkce mail() je sice vstupním bodem do procesu doručování, ale k tomu, aby byl mail doručitelný a čitelný druhou stranou, je většinou potřeba ještě pár kroků navíc. Jakožto administrátor virtuálního hostingu vržu zuby pokaždé, když mi někdo na server strčí webík posílající maily, ale už neřeší žádnou sanitizaci a konformitu. V lepším případě mail nedojde, v horším pak může být celý server označen jako původce spamu. Takže jak to dělat lépe a radostněji?
