I think you're quite correct. If you're investing in obfuscation, you're probably making the wrong investment. Malicious actors have to obfuscate to avoid detection for as long as possible, and benign actors would probably be

While you might have access to the AST, obfuscated JS is still harder for humans to parse, and reverse engineer what the original function is doing. For example: var _0x11f8=['\x6c\x6f\x67'];(function(_0x417d16,_0x4a5f0f){va

I appreciate all your transparency and engagement on this issue. It probably would have had the same outcome, yes, but potentially resolved much more quickly. Regardless, the fact that you're fixing it is music to my ears.

I mean, yes and no. Every business exists to make profit, but most companies thrive when their customers are happy, not miserable. Many (but not all) microtransactions in gaming, particularly in the more predatory free-to-play models, don&#

Good response from DO, but this line jumps out at me. > Responses to account locks were not prioritized differently from a ticket management standpoint to be above less severe tickets. That's arguably the biggest failure, IMO. The f

This isn't a new problem. Cloaking[1] has been around for a long time. Google[2], and Facebook[3] have been fighting this problem for years. Even Google hasn't had perfect luck with fighting off cloakers[4]. [1]: https:/&#x2

Basically, you have to go through the ICANN accreditation process, which is documented here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/accreditation-2012-02-... The cheaper, and easier way, if you're looking to s

I feel like every language should have at least one "wat" style talk or article. Even for languages you adore, it's important to understand the quirks, shortcomings, and issues in a context that might seem absurd to an outsid

I completely understand the decision to not stand their ground. Going up against Slack means going up against a multi-billion dollar company, and potentially all the legal firepower that entails. Even if every monetary cost were covered, th

Arguably he shouldn't have had to, since the arbitration clause appeared in the Terms of Service after he made his pledge. I have my own opinions about arbitration but that's neither here nor there when what you agreed to did not

I was just thinking about this. Instead of versioning with an `Accept` header, or with a URL version, why not version off of an upgradable API key?

I've been meaning to read Kill Decision for quite some time. Daniel Suarez has some really unique perspectives using near-future fiction. Daemon and Freedom™ were fascinating glimpses into the potential of the future of modern day tech

I'd love to see a blog post on some of the nitty-gritty details on this. Even if there's no known root cause, it'd be fascinating to see your analysis on this.

Awesome! It wasn't readily apparent that delivery is handled by a third party before signing up. I've used Instacart before, so it's cool that it's just an integration, but I wasn't sure if it was an addon I was mis

This is the first startup in a while I've been excited to spend money on. It looks great, and it looks like it already has a very mature feature set. The one thing I didn't see was the pricing on the delivery options. Is that live

Just because the bubble hasn't burst yet, doesn't mean we're not actually in a bubble. That line of reasoning irks me a bit, but still, it is laughable how the imminent bursting of the bubble has been predicted for nearly a d

Perhaps Browserify would be something that would work in this use case. Awesome job! In addition, it might be cool to have in-line substitution of data. For example, in your analytics notebook[0], I noticed you referenced the number in text

I'm really hesitant to even consider this without it being run through the Diehard Tests[0], since from my understanding, "True Randomness" should be cryptographically secure should this be used in a CSPRNG. [0]: https:&#x2F
