When diving you’ll notice that the colors start acting up: everything will become more washed out (and look more green/blue) from the moment you look down in the water, and everything will become darker as you descend. Colors like red go first: at a depth of 10m it looks brown. To correct this, underwater photographers …

A nice commit migrating away from AMD Modules to ECMAScript modules recently landed in the jQuery repo. Once published as a new release, you’ll be able to actually import $ using the modern ES module syntax: import $ from "jquery"; $('#message').text('Hi from jQuery!'); Handy if you’re modernizing a legacy project that still uses jQuery. 💡 …

Presentation by Patrick Hamann as given at performance.now(): WebAssembly (or Wasm) is a compilation target for the open web; often considered a hard-to-approach performance optimisation for your browser applications – but it promises to be so much more than that! In this talk we’ll debunk some myths about WebAssembly and explore what it is and …
Rodrigo Pombo: We are going to rewrite React from scratch. Step by step. Following the architecture from the real React code but without all the optimizations and non-essential features. Next to the contents themselves, it’s also presented in a really nice way. As you read along the code next to it also changes. Bret Victor …
JSON.parse()
A performance trick that’s been doing rounds on Twitter, now available as a video: Because the JSON grammar is much simpler than JavaScript’s grammar, JSON can be parsed more efficiently than JavaScript. This knowledge can be applied to improve start-up performance for web apps that ship large JSON-like configuration object literals (such as inline Redux …

This makes it possible to use the same code for React Native and Web. Oh, …

And within a week, thousands of poor unfortunate souls reported that their Disney passwords were hacked. According to media reports, some Disney+ account holders have lost their account access while hackers have sold their logins online. …
Of course it had to be done: What I found most peculiar is that only the front lights are generated content, all the rest is gradients. Only detail that’s missing are the smashed windows 😜 Oh, Here’s another nice version (no single div though): See the Pen Pure CSS CYBRTRK 🚙 by Jhey (@jh3y) on …
Dmitri Pavlutin has compared the several ways to fecthing data in React. Lifecycle methods had been for a long time the only solution to fetching. However fetching using them has problems with lots of boilerplate code, duplication, and reusability difficulties. Fetching using hooks is a better alternative: way less boilerplate code. Suspense’s benefit is declarative …
