Introducing a new spam policy for "back button hijacking": https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2026/04/back-button-hijacking. If you mess with the back 🔙 button, it's not the growth hack you think it is. I've seen unnamed news sites do this when you navigate to an article page, want to go back to where you came from, but then the back history gets hijacked and you're suddenly on the news site's main landing page.

Kindergarten: du, you're likely all the same-ish age group (very much an -ish, but the outliers want to belong, so easy). Cleaners, bakery staff, in general people you see frequently: I'd err on the side of sie. You usually don't address them by name, even if they have it visible on their name plate on their chest.

Difficult. In such cases I'd start with "Guten Tag" and use sie and just avoid any gender-requiring formulations as hard as I can. In English, I use "Hi there". Also happens when you only know someone's email or social network handle.

Mind explaining? I recall being honored when teachers started with the sie when all of us turned 18, but also remember feeling old when I was in my 20ies and the kids started addressing me with sie.

For work emails, my rule would be: you address them by their first name ("Hallo Sara"), you say du, you address them by their last name ("Hallo Frau Joy"), you say sie.

2025-11-01 15:09:43 UTC

All of those imply you don't know them. Err on the side of "Sie" if you are the first to make contact, but often you can just wait and see what they do. Like in a restaurant, if they ask you "Was darf ich dir bringen?", you already know they are fine with du. With uppercase/lowercase: easy. The orthographic rule was to uppercase the Sie, for example, in letters, but now you just may lowercase everything and have the Duden on your side. #GermanAsAService

I proactively read https://tagesschau.de (Web or also via the app) and SPIEGEL (only the PDF, never https://spiegel.de). None of them are secret tips or anything, but mostly decent journalism. The browser's built-in translation feature (that you can enable by default for certain pages/languages) should help. Also, I use long-tap and then "Define" a lot when I'm reading news in other languages. I rely on Mastodon a lot for random reactive reads. Happy to help with flowery language.

Oh, I'm 100% not reading this as "let's stop evolving JS" either. Quite the opposite. What I was trying to say is that current me is fine with what's in JS now without having to use tooling, but future me might dislike having to use tooling for using something amazing they add to exclusively the JSSugar layer that I can't imagine today.

I feel like "JavaScript is already quite good", too, but I wonder if I'm limited by my imagination of what might be coming next, and that then would not necessarily be usable without tooling. But the arguments in the slides make sense to me as well, but then I'm not an engine implementor, so I have to (and do) believe them when they say it's a challenge to keep up.

"The QUERY method provides a solution that spans the gap between the use of GET and POST. As with POST, the input to the query operation is passed along within the content of the request rather than as part of the request URI. Unlike POST, however, the method is explicitly safe and idempotent, allowing functions like caching and automatic retries to operate."

Wow, that's super cool! DOM-aware physics. Screenshot the page, trace the elements to an SVG path, and then use this information with a physics engine: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1831783365483360539.html. Here's a live demo: https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/dom-aware-physics-3jqdsv. 🎊

The WebKit team at Apple are growing their DevRel presence: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200565512/web-technologies-evangelist-safari-webkit. Signal-boosting this job ad because that's good news for the Web! (According to @npub130l…n5e6, it's only for people willing to live in the Bay Area.)

I'm always amazed by the various improvements the Chrome engineering teams are busy with. One that's recently landed is around storage optimization for IndexedDB 🛢️, which, who knew, internally stores its data in LevelDB: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/chromium/indexeddb-storage-improvements.

Looks like the Firefox team is considering taking a fresh look at (Progressive) Web Apps: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-can-firefox-create-the-best-support-for-web-apps-on-the/m-p/60561#M21220 👀 #PWA

Nice job 👏: we now have script integrity support for ES modules in Chrome and WebKit: https://shopify.engineering/shipping-support-for-module-script-integrity-in-chrome-safari. You tell the browser about the script integrity in an import map and can then rely on the integrity check to happen even for dynamic `import()`.
```html
<script type="importmap">
{
"imports": {
"square": "./module/shapes/square.js"
},
"integrity": {
"./module/shapes/square.js": "sha384-oqVuAfXRKap7fdgcCY5uykM6+R9GqQ8K/uxy9rx7HNQlGYl1kPzQho1wx4JwY8wC"
}
}
</script>
```

Gotta love the conclusion they draw from this: "embrace JavaScript". Well… 🤷‍♂️
