Yep not a bug. Or at least if it's a bug, it's a bug in the HTML spec. But really I think it's pretty reasonable behavior. Short answer is standard says to parse the contents of <style> elements as text. Long answer is

Not unfixable, but there was a fun story about a game that shipped without the ability to be patched, so the developers later "patched" it by buffer overflowing their own EULA: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/f

I believe Coinhive was actually webassembly, with a fallback to JavaScript.

Fixed except when the user enables android split-screen mode! I believe split-screen mode implies the height of the browser window can change at runtime (in a JS visible way), but haven't looked at it recently.

Scaling down the largest size isn't always appropriate (though would probably work in most cases). One example might be a set of images where the smaller images wrap text more agressively to work better on a screen that's not as w

Did you get deep enough into WebKit to see that the namespace for the utility functions is called WTF? :) I also like how there are at least five string classes (to be fair, there are good reasons for most of them): String, AtomicString, St

Is it just me or does outline.com not work at all half the time in any browser besides Chrome because it checks for the nonstandard `window.chrome` property?

It's to prevent reading cross-origin images through JavaScript. A canvas is considered tainted if it contains data from a cross origin image that was loaded without CORS approval. Tainted canvases cannot be read from by JavaScript. I d

That would have some downsides. You to browser behavior to url in a way that never been done before, it doesn't really account for mime types or content encoding, it isn't backwards compatible at all, it doesn't allow you to

Boost asio has async IO that uses coroutines. I only ever used it for toy code, but it seemed to work pretty well.

And array over-runs are just the beginning! (friends don't let friends use idices over iterators) Had a fun bug at work once where we somehow accidentally built against two subtly incompatible versions of the same library. This actuall

I found them useful when using the Boost Asio C++ networking library. I needed to read some bytes, make a decision, read some more bytes, make another decision, etc. This started out as callback hell since every read was asynchronous, which

This actually reminds me of "es-operating-system"; an experimental operating system copyrighted by Nintendo (yes, Nintendo!), where "every system API is defined in Web IDL". AFAIK it never went anywhere, but maybe buildi

Yep. Pulseaudio works similarly with enough poking and prodding. I was able to do stuff like watch cat videos on youtube with sound at full speed (though presumably not hardware accelerated).

From the source code it looks like brew uses a UUID generated locally (e.g. from a source like /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid). I don't see how it could be correlated with anything in the browser. In terms of the

Not only can the compiler make it false. It can assume that the code would never make the comparison in the first place, and optimize away any cases where the undefined behavior is guaranteed to be triggered. So in a sense undefined behavio

Yes I agree completely. I was thinking about that after I wrote my comment, the code is only safe relative to the original sample, and it's only a band-aid for the lack of more comprehensive lifetime guarantees. Of course you can jump

In C++ if the string is a rvalue reference you could std::move it into part of the return value. Think a signature like template<typename T> std::pair<std::string, std::vector<std::string_view>> tokenize_stri

No, types are completely determined before link time. An auto return type means the type is inferred from the type of the expression that the function returns, so it's known from that.
