If you try to render content along with a non-content status code (100-199, 204, 205, or 304), it will be dropped from the response.
Does "it" refer to
- the content, or
- the non-content status code ?

I think it is still problematic since many people in the software industry use and understand "dependency" to mean the thing on which something depends (as indicated by this and other answers). So saying "being a dependency" indicates to those people the thing on which something depends, which is the opposite of the way I think of it (and what it means according to the dictionary).

Could you avoid the word "instance"? It is confusing to me with an instance of a class. How about "all occurrences"?

When you hear there's something called "template strings" coming to JavaScript, it's natural to assume it's a built-in template library, like Mustache. It isn't. It's mainly just string interpolation and multiline strings for JS. I think this is going to be a common misconception for a while, though.

In systems engineering and requirements engineering, a non-functional requirement (NFR) is a requirement that specifies criteria that can be used to judge the operation of a system, rather than specific behaviors. They are contrasted with functional requirements that define specific behavior or functions
This is a strange term because one might read "non-functional" and interpret in the sense of the word that means "does not function", when instead the intended sense is "not related to function". Seems like a somewhat unfortunate name for this concept. A less ambiguous term could have been picked instead, but I don't know what that would be.

Perhaps "Mask this variable" would be better language to use, as "protect this variable" may be easily misinterpreted.

quantum blockchain
Do they really use a quantum blockchain? What exactly do they mean by that? Probably just a buzzword they're using to attract interest but aren't actually meaning literally.

gets awkward with wider usage
Not sure what they meant by "wider usage". Since they are contrasting "single page design", I would expect them to say something like "but becomes less useful with taller pages if the navigation is allowed to scroll off the screen (that is, unless fixed positioning is used)".

less secure sign-in technology
What does that mean exactly?
All of a sudden my Rails app's attempts to send via SMTP started getting rejected until I enabled "Less secure app access". It would be nice if I knew what was necessary to make the access considered "secure".

If you have confidential or private content that you don't want to appear in Google Search results, the simplest and most effective way to block private URLs from appearing is to store them in a password-protected directory on your site server. Googlebot and all other web crawlers are unable to access content in password-protected directories.
Does this only work for HTTP (Basic) Auth?
What if you want to use your web site's normal login/auth page/system to "password-protect" a page/file?
That seems to be insufficient to block content. Google doesn't seem to recognize it as being "blocked" and (even if robots.txt excludes the URL), can still be indexed if another site links to the URL, which can result in "Indexed, though blocked by robots.txt" warning.
I wish it treated "protected by regular site login" the same as "password-protected".

The foundation of good style is correctness of language, which falls under five heads. (1) First, the proper use of connecting words, and the arrangement of them in the natural sequence which some of them require. For instance, the connective "men" (e.g. ego men) requires the correlative "de" (e.g. o de). The answering word must be brought in before the first has been forgotten, and not be widely separated from it; nor, except in the few cases where this is appropriate, is another connective to be introduced before the one required. Consider the sentence, "But as soon as he told me (for Cleon had come begging and praying), took them along and set out." In this sentence many connecting words are inserted in front of the one required to complete the sense; and if there is a long interval before "set out," the result is obscurity. One merit, then, of good style lies in the right use of connecting words. (2) The second lies in calling things by their own special names and not by vague general ones. (3) The third is to avoid ambiguities; unless, indeed, you definitely desire to be ambiguous, as those do who have nothing to say but are pretending to mean something.
Use of language in good style.

Words of ambiguous meaning are chiefly useful to enable the sophist to mislead his hearers.
Interesting connection, sophist use ambiguous language for false persuasion.
