How do we see colors? How can we “define” them in a generic way? How do we compare them?

Well, this isn’t an easy topic.

Sometimes I have the itch to create something that’s not (just) useful, but pleases the eyes.

I’ve started experimenting with webgl a few years ago, mostly in shadertoy - but most of my experiments aren’t public.

This (fullscreen) is one of my favourites. But of course I’m still not entirely satisfied with it.

A quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output.

This one is not really a quine, but something similar, 1020 bytes of HTML/JS that animates it’s own code. Inspired by the great work of @aemkei.

CSS Paint Worklet (Houdini) experiment to generate cellular noise based mesh.

There’s a simple function, which eventually can result in pure chaos:

x_n+1 = r * x_n * (1 - x_n)

WebAuthn uses public key cryptography (asymmetric) instead of passwords or SMS texts for registration, authentication and 2FA.

• Protection against phishing: webauthn signatures changes with the origin, so it won’t work on “similar” webpages (with different domain name).
• Reduced impact of data breaches: it does not really matter if the public key is stolen.
• Invulnerable to password attacks: much harder to crack it by “brute force” than passwords.

The most widely used digital image format, developed by Joint Photographic Experts Group. Several attempts has been made to replace it with something “better” (JPEG 2000 included), but it still helds its position. ISO/IEC and ITU-T standard, which only specifies the codec, but not the file format - the Exif and JFIF standards define the commonly used ones.

Invented by Denso Wave (japanese automotive company, subsidiary of Toyota) in 1994 to track vehicle parts during manufacturing. It was designed to allow high-speed scanning. Now it is used basically everywhere.

One of the most widely used raster image formats, that supports lossless compression, alpha transparency and is supported by all the webbrowsers. It was developed in 1996 as an improved, non-patented replacement for GIF (“PNG’s not GIF”). ISO and IETF standard.

How form data can get from the browser to the backend.

Without JS

• action: where to send the data (URL, current URL by default)
• method: GET, POST (and there’s dialog too…)
• enctype: only for POST, Content-Type of the data
  • application/x-www-form-urlencoded - default, URL encoded body
  • multipart/form-data - multipart data, required for file uploads
  • text/plain - for debugging, don’t use, security issues
