Javascript is pretty accessible even when minified and optimised via something like closure. WASM requires a lot more knowhow to reverse engineer; I've had to do it a few times for CTFs and some blockchain-related tools that use them,

I completely agree with all of this, when I started I absolutely hated being petty about things like payment delays or changes in scope; and I didn't agree at all on charging for phone calls or for proposals. And this would all be fine

Yes, it's very difficult to balance and it's been an interesting experience in the sense that no one really cares about what work you've done in the past; if they like you on a personal level they'll hire you. I'm c

I don't know if this is a cultural difference or something, but in the UK no client will ever pay a deposit on an invoice for consulting work. I normally get paid within 30-90 days of the work being done (it sucks)

This reads as one of those "how to draw an owl" memes, step 1. draw a circle; step 2. draw the rest of the owl. I've been trying to succeed at consultancy for the last couple years, and here's my list of (realistic) step

But... they did, uChat is a fork of Mattermost, and they contributed the changes back to the open source project.

And that's why you don't talk to police; they could have just said no or refused to answer to make it harder for the investigators.

Supermarket chain Lidl had a promotion over a decade ago where they sold Air Berlin flights for 20€, the vouchers could be exchange for open seats in any flight for a year after the promotion was on. I bought dozens of them, and basically s

Right, that makes sense, I always thought that had more to do with the pure functional nature of Haskell than the type system, but I've never written any Haskell.

How would strong typing really prevent this? This is a side effect caused by a scoping issue, calling window.print instead of the local print function.

I think it's all related to the sell-side of adtech, publisher revenues have been going down for years while Google keeps on growing, with AMP and Google News as weapons to keep revenue hostage from publishers. Added to that the perman

It would be difficult to find a single news publisher that doesn't use DFP (Doubleclick For Publishers) to serve ads, and presumably lots of them are also using GDN (Google Display Network) at least to fill up unsold inventory Not to m

That's not very fair to a company that was one of the pioneers of a lot of the things we consider normal on today's software as a service. Also incorrect, they have great cloud and devops practices. If anything it's likely th

Kudos for sticking up for what you believe in, but if I was you I would have taken the job, that kind of money that early in your career can shape your future massively. I'm fairly senior and I would still do some really unethical stuf

I use cutter with r2 and consider it a better UI than IDA; but then again I don't do a lot of work in it, just CTFs and crackmes.

There's just no other options; it's still one of the best markets in the EU and going to the US is impossible for most developers so they have to accept the lower salaries.

This extension doesn't use selenium, plus that's not entirely true, selenium sees HTML and DOM while a user sees the final render; there's ways you can hide content from a user while showing it to Selenium-style bots.
