May 31, 2025 Do you know about Progressive JPEGs? Here’s a nice explanation of what a Progressive JPEG is. The idea is that instead of loading the image top to bottom, the image instead is fuzzy at first and then progressively becomes more crisp. What if we apply the same idea to transferring JSON? Suppose you have a JSON tree with some data: { header: ' Welcome to my blog ' , post: { content: ' This is my article ' , comments: [ ' First comment ' , ' Second comment ' , // ... ] }, footer: '

We recently tried the Lomi composter and the Mill kitchen bin -- both worked well, but they'll set you back a few hundred bucks. The better news? You don't need expensive gadgets to keep
