"user name" may be viewed as "real name of a user" (my user name is Max, but my username is Goldstein). userbase is just a rare spelling, and also the name of some software products.

Single find & replace is exactly what this document tells you not to do, since that's how you get dumb^W suboptimal results like "denylisted" instead of sane^W more clear options like "denied".

Oh, the thing with bootstrapping attacks is you never know are there any real examples. I recommend this[0] paper by Ken Thompson dated 1984 and still relevant. [0]: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/

I've made fcalc [0] for myself. It's much simpler and basically glorified `eval()`, but it's good enough for me. [0]: https://fcalc.github.io

I was curious about how `Deno.permissions` prevents things like "requesting the permissions, then clearing the screen and asking to press 'g'". Apparently, `Deno.permissions.request()` just stops program execution waitin
