Over the years I’ve shared how to perform a number of actions with cURL: how to send POST data, how to retrieve headers, follow redirects, check GZIP encoding, and more. Another useful cURL directive is sending the user agent, as some servers respond with different content or headers depending on the user agent. Let’s have […]

It happens less frequently these days but there are times when we need to accommodate for a HTTP request timing out. The service could be down, under heavy traffic, or just poorly coded, or any host of other issues. Whenever I need to simulate a long HTTP request, I use a bit of PHP to […]

JavaScript promises have always been a major win for the language — they’ve led to a revolution of asynchronous coding that has vastly improved performance on the web. One shortcoming of native promises is that there’s no true way to cancel a fetch…until now. A new AbortController has been added to the JavaScript specification that […]

Video games are always a fun time, something we desperately need during our COVID lockdown. A few years back I shared how to play retro games on Mac, as well as how to patch games to play popular ROM hacks like Grand Poo World and Invictus. One disadvantage that Macs have, however, is performance — […]

Now that we have most of the basics of HTML and CSS in the browser, we’ve begun implementing new features that I would consider “quality of life” improvements, many of which have been inspired by mobile. One great example is the CSS prefers-color-scheme media query, which allows developers to cater their design to system theme […]

Two of the most prominent utilities in web development today are ESLint and Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code. I enjoy using both, and I love the integration between both tools, but warnings from ESLint inside Visual Studio Code aren’t fulfilling — I’d rather lint errors be fixed each time I save. Complete the following steps to […]

With gyms being closed during the lockdown that has been enforced to keep the coronavirus pandemic at bay, the local players of Aizawl FC have taken to custom-made gym instruments, in order to maintain their fitness.

It’s common to present dates on the Web in a format such as "Published on September 12th, 2015", or "09/12/2015 09:41:23".

Each of these examples tells the full date and/or time of some kind of activity – be it a published article, or a reader comment, or perhaps an uploaded video.

Date formats like this might seem perfectly reasonable. After all, they’re informative and human-readable. Well yes, but “human-readable” doesn’t necessary mean users will readily be able to understand how recently the activity has occurred. The Web is a fast-moving place, and giving your content a sense of freshness could be the key to engaging with your audience.

I combined my ideas and practical solutions into an article which you are very welcome to read on SitePoint.
