Disable JavaScript — How to disable JavaScript in your browser
Nowadays almost all web pages contain JavaScript, a scripting programming language that runs arbitrary code, through the web browser, on the visitor's computer. It is supposed to make web pages functional for specific purposes but it has proven its potential to cause significant harm to users time and time again. […]

Today I learned… if you are doing something naughty in JavaScript* (and let’s face it, of course you are) that TypeScript’s type checker is giving you an error for and you – being you – want to keep being naughty (because you can and that’s half the fun), there’s a better way to silence the error than using @ts-ignore which, umm, just ignores it.
Instead, you can use @ts-expect-error (with the error message, to remind yourself what you’re expecting).
This way, if the error ever g…

Dear pen-tester:
The mitigation is not to remove "unsafe-inline" from Content-Security-Policy.
The mitigation is to re-engineer how a web app includes javascript, and *then* asking all third-party providers to re-engineer their code in the same way.
This is a longer-than-a-decade process that nobody wants to pay for.

I'm doing Advent of Code in Typst this year. I forgot to do it when AoC started so I had to do day 1-4 all today.

It's remarkable how much modern web page programming breaks fundamental things. Scrolling with spacebar or page down doesn't work. Or selecting text. Or doing Ctrl-F to find stuff on a page. All this basic functionality destroyed so some mediocre programmer can use a giant Javascript framework that isn't even necessary.

Remember back when JavaScript was meant to enhance the browser experience, and we did graceful degration to make sure things worked even with JS disabled? That was pretty crazy, wasn't it...

"The scene (“Hidden Figures”, 2016) ends with Mr. Stafford famously claiming “that’s old!” as if the Pythagorean theorem was suddenly not useful anymore after 3500 years… Mr. Stafford’s reaction is canonical and very appropriate; it is the same that most devs have upon learning the fact that COBOL is running most credit card transactions, or when frontend engineers discover that static or server-rendered HTML websites do not need 10 MB of JavaScript on the browser."

Old enough to remember 2013-02-07 when any web page that included a Facebook-supplied javascript resource (to enable the, once ubiquitous, Facebook Connect) redirected users to Facebook.
(It's the event that most informed my suspicion in using third-party javascript - without SRI.)
It's 2025: Facebook is retiring external like buttons, but Cloudflare is breaking captchas.

Little JavaScript tip:
You know you can comment out code to quickly disable it:
```js
/*
console.log(‘I won’t run’)
*/
```
But did you know you can also use a labelled block with a break statement to do the same thing in a more flexible manner?

disable: {
break disable

}
```
Then, you can quickly the move the `break disable` to different lines to execute different bits of code wit…
