I thought the purpose of the app was to demonstrate an intelligent parsing of the browser signature. After all, the user agent only tells part of the story.

Oh, totally agreed. What I had difficulty with, specifically, was passing around a struct that contained a multidimensional array of a size determined at runtime. I'm sure the problems I had could be solved by either a full re-design (

> &structure AFAIK, that's only a legal function signature in C++. To the point of the question : when I wrote that, I was specifically thinking of 2-dimensional arrays, not structs per se.

My code changed in a similar way, however I recently devolved. I've mostly worked with higher level languages, and recently delved back into C. I had forgotten what a complete pain in the ass it is to pass complex data structures aroun

Reading his responses, the entire app feels like a bad attempt at trolling. In any case, nice write up. I enjoyed reading it.

Huh? This isn't breaking news. It's just the latest development in an old and ongoing story.

I'm a reluctant fan of Musk at very best. I admire his accomplishments, but I wouldn't shed too many tears if he "failed". With my prejudices being what they are, I'm part of the core target audience for this piece.

I consider myself very fortunate, despite having a very strict [e.g. practically nonexistent] work-from-home allowance. It's not something I take lightly, for better and worse. For instance, at the moment I spend ~40 hrs in the office

A good VIM keybinding plugin is a must for me as well. The one available for LightTable, for instance, simply wasn't sufficient IMO. I can't specifically remember what it lacked, but it was enough to throw me off. Vintage mode in

I agree. I remember the job market of 07-09, and appreciate being contacted by recruiters. In fact, I typically respond to most them in order to politely decline. I'm too young to remember the post-dot-com years, but those weren't

Uber puts out one of these press releases every time they run up against a possible regulatory hurdle. They consistently reek of misplaced indignation, and this one is no exception.

In this make believe scenario, the world is divided neatly into opposing camps of "competent devs" and "enterprise CRUD devs". It's dismissive, cheap analysis at its best. It's a straw man whose only real purpo

Oh, I totally agree. My original post wasn't clear : In isolation, this vulnerability could be chalked up to carelessness. Coming on the heels of another even more egregious vuln, however, it (IMO) speaks to a IDGAF approach to privacy

Yes and no. The degree of precision matters a lot. "between 3-4 miles away" isn't the same as "3.42123459921 miles away". In this case, the distance field was encoded in a 64 bit double - which if fully utilized is
