In the 2010s, the resurgence of deep learning completely transformed prior approaches in nearly all domains, from images and video, to text and speech.

Best Practices for Debugging Service Workers

Service Workers are a great way to add offline functionality to your app, as well as speed up subsequent page loads (especially with the app shell model).

I recently encountered many issues while debugging, and to save myself and others the hassle, here are some of the best practices I recommend when debugging service workers.

The Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) allows one to remotely access a terminal interface on a remote machine. In addition, it allows for capabilities such as port tunneling1, file transfers and screen forwarding.

The main reasons for setting up SSH access on my machine were to allow me to:
