Modern browsers apply the same-origin policy to some resources, meaning they refuse to load or restrict access to resources coming from other origins than the loaded website. Servers can implement CORS to describe which origins are permitted to load their resources.

For some HTTP requests, browsers issue a “preflight” request (HTTP OPTIONS) to check whether the resource is available for the given origin.

PGP

• from 1991
• cryptographically sign/verify, encrypt/decrypt files, emails, etc.
• OpenPGP standard, RFC 4880
• key “verification” via fingerprints, Web of trust
• public/private keys

Random points

• true randomness is hard
• pseudo random number generators usually don’t have even distribution
  • or “slow”
  • or cannot be used in a parallel way
• OpenGL does not have random API (reasons above)

And in most cases higher “entropy” is more pleasant to the eyes.

Backend

• app to the server
  • scp
  • git
  • maven/npm/pip/whatever
• start it
  • prefer using a “webapp container” like tomcat or gunicorn
  • on a “high” port like 5000, 8000, 8080
• make it start on reboot
  • systemd
  • supervisord/pm2
  • …

What

• LCP: Largest Contentful Paint
• FID: First Input Delay (RUM only)
• CLS: Cumulative Layout Shift

• offline/static
• online/dynamic

Offline

Somebody or something generates the raw HTML “offline”, long before the request, then the generated HTML is served via a static webserver (nginx, apache, …) or CDN.

The problem

Currently we have media queries, but in most cases widgets have not the full width of the viewport.

One of the new CSS Houdini APIs:

• CSS Parser API - possibility to implement sass/less/etc support
• CSS Properties and Values API - more advanced CSS properties (variables)
• CSS Typed OM - CSS values as typed JS objects
• CSS Layout API - create custom layouts (like grid or flexbox)
• CSS Painting API - draw something in CSS

• reusable custom elements
• framework independent
• standardized
