The code goes through a few eval steps first. Here is what is finally evaled -- you can replace the whole file with this for the same result: https://paste.ee/p/VTgj8 Figuring out the odds generator...is a task I will

Something else that sites do, which is not really deobfuscation, but an anti-debugger technique, is to run a loop checking whether the DevTools are open and crash the page via catastrophic regex backtracking if they are. You can get around

From my small experience of Ghidra, it didn't do great once the code was not using standard calling conventions (i.e it was probably compiled with optimization flags ) Sometimes it would just straight up ignore (functional) assembly fo

I agree. I always feel like my use of shell scripting and unix tools to perform basic tasks is so much less than it could be. I enjoy the ideas of portability and speed that comes from these tools, but often I just want to get the task done

I get the impression that your argument seems to be strongly motivated by your own moral values. I'm not saying that rampant rule breaking should be encouraged, but I don't see the slippery slope that you do. I've always foun

I'm interested to hear what real-world experiences have lead you to think this way. From what I've seen, exceptions can always be made and people will often put up with it, depending on the circumstances. Look at the number of peo

Anything can happen, but in China, you are more likely to gave your movement and access to medicine restricted than in much of the Western world.

This is an oft proclaimed bad take, because there is no point of reference for this comparison. Humans are 95% identical with dogs, are we mostly dog? We're 60% identical with bananas, are we really all just part of the banana family?

I find this action from Namecheap really lazy virtue signalling and your justifications to be hypocritical, for reasons pointed out elsewhere in this thread. If you were really interested in attempting to do the right thing, you would ban o

First, loving this version, it's just the right amount of difficulty. It's slowly overtaking Wordle in my group. Are the colors in dark mode different to Wordle? I find it harder to remember which gray means unguessed and which me

Using Google Cloud I've experienced several outages and service disruptions over the years. I'd guess something like 1-2 a year. There was one as recently as last week: https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents&#x2

I'm fairly sure you have the right to a bank account under French law, but banks have the right to refuse you as a client. This means that if you get rejected as a client by enough banks you can go to the Banque de France and they will

Is Googling not allowed? This situation is pretty common, so there are plenty of SO answers and articles on how to accomplish rewriting history to erase it from the repo. Removing from developer machines is a separate issue and requires you

There probably shouldn't be such exploits, but there probably are. I remember Quake 3 had a number of exploits that could allow a server owner to essentially run arbitrary code on clients machines. As a newer game, probably Battlefield

There is no such thing as "no accent". There is such a thing as a more neutral accent, or an accent more widely understood.

It doesn't exist? What were your feature requirements? You wrote a wrapper around ZXing, which already has an official app as well as simple variations of that app from the ZXing team. That app is open source and ad-free. There are alr

Companies are made up of and run by people and the decisions made by those people are not necessarily solely profit-driven. That doesn't mean that making money is not important to these people; of course it is. But it's not the on

So what? The comment is totally off topic and contributes nothing except to call the guy an idiot. The Github issue is not the right place to do that.

Minor nitpick, but what's up with the artifacting on your large images? See the text in your image "the button at the bottom of the page." See also the gradient in your second image: "Create a Private Playlist" Ther

I don't find your second point compelling in the slightest. From reading your other responses, my conclusion is that in any hypothetical argument, you wouldn't consider either side to have better reasoning than the other and if yo

They didn't get to be one of the most profitable companies in the world by 'passing savings along to the customer'. It is more dishonest IMO to allow Apple's claims to go unchallenged, given what we know of their history

Is that second part really true, or are you conjecturing? I would have thought that even the whitest people have more of a pinkish hue to their skin.

So in your opinion nobody is racist here? This case does not demonstrate racial bias? Assuming this is not a once off, the situation certainly implies that either the people who developed the algorithm or the people who made the decision to

I've been using this platform for some time now, and one of the things that really makes it special for me is the point mentioned at the end of the article about "always trying to be close to your customers". Samuel is extrem

From the details given, it sounds like she should bear some responsibility. But the story is lacking in details. Perhaps her coworker claimed to be sober and had not been visibly drinking at the work party. Perhaps she pleaded with him to s

I think your question is simply explained by the fact that the universe initially expanded much faster than the speed of light. Then it slowed down. The light has had time (12 billion years) to catch up.
