This is largely correct. Each reply form includes a hidden input field with the name 'fnid' in their form. Many other pages include a parameter with the same name. This is the unique identifier of a closure that's associated

Why is the assumption "governments are rational" more reasonable than "governments are irrational"? Both seem equally possible to me, given the fact that we don't have the information to tell, either way. In any cas

The issue with PC hardware is that it's just too varied to get really close to the metal. The deeper you get, after all, the more different the various GPU architectures become. Consoles, on the other hand, are all identical, so you ca

I've been using jq for a handful of small personal projects over the last month or so. I was sceptical of its promise to be to JSON what sed is to flat text, because those are big shoes to fill. But now, looking back at where and how I

This is incorrect. Both in the new scheme and the old, sensitive data is encrypted. In the old scheme, this key was randomly generated, while in the new, it is derived from a password. Either way, you do not need to trust Mozilla. The main
