You might know that I'm sending out a weekly newsletter called "Web Weekly". If you're into web platform facts going beyond the latest framework news, you should check it out! This time it was packed with a whole lot of nerdy topics: `::details-content`, `String.prototype.toWellFormed()`, `git bisect` or `documentPictureInPicture`. Here's a quick summary of my favorite topics this week. --- I use Git's bisect command only once a year, but it's always magical if I do. If you discover a new bug or a regression, you can use the command to perform a binary search over a commit range. Git will then ask you if the commit is good or bad, and you'll find the faulty commit in no time! --- Do you know that the ✌️ sign doesn't stand for victory or peace globally? In Australia, it's the counterpart to giving someone the middle finger. Super fascinating (and very tricky to navigate 😅)! --- I learned that `fetch` supports a `keepalive` option so that you can use it as a flexible `sendBeacon` replacement. And the best thing is that it'll enter the baseline soon! --- So, if all this sounds interesting, you can read it online: https://lnkd.in/eF2byMUR And if you want to receive weekly updates: https://webweekly.email Enjoy! 🫣

  • git-bisect - Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug
  • await fetch(`${root}/api/collect`, {
  method: 'POST',
  body: data,
  // keep request alive if the page is unloaded
  // before the request is complete
  keepalive: true,
});
  • What he failed to realize is that this gesture means a lot of different things to a lot different people. In Australia, the v-for-victory gesture means the same as giving someone the middle finger in the United States.

Git bisect is one of my favourite debugging tools, and I'm surprised I don't see it talked about and used more often

Bisect is king. Used it more than once this year 😉
