Hey folks! I built Netscope because I couldn't find a desktop app for dealing with HAR files. I was annoyed at having to import them into Chrome DevTools every time (opening a new …

This was what originally led me to do some research on the topic. I really thought the podcast was well done.

There may be a bit of both at work here, because I remember seeing a lot of issues with hacking the Prius at Defcon[0], but I vaguely recall the SUA incidents being mostly related …

I thought the unintended acceleration issues had been largely disproven as user error. That is, many other brands of cars had been reported to have the same issues by drivers. And …

The "Reader View" available in at least Firefox and Safari fixed this for me.

The idea of exclusively using only a few applications definitely seems limiting. I understand in this case it's probably because of licensing and morals, but I can't imagine many b…

From what I can tell, this is a useful first step towards credential stuffing. Requests against endpoints like this are going to be unauthenticated, since by their very nature they…

With as many accounts on these services that actually exist, it still doesn't answer the question of whether or not the person actually owns the email.

A corporation has no freedom of speech rights. It's important to remember that a corporation is not considered to the same rights as a person in these cases, nor should they ever b…

He's referring to the dereference of a null object. For instance, calling "foo.bar" when foo is null (or potentially undefined).

Sorry, is it not handy because it's inaccurate? Or simply because it's so lengthy?

A bit unrelated, but it's weird that Medium doesn't seem to support embedded code, and instead only seems to work with gists. It made the mobile experience pretty bad (all I get ar…

Instead of two things, you just need one. They're saying that instead of a USB-A-to-Lightning cable and a USB-A-to-USB-C adapter, you can just use the one cable.

You don't even need to rebind the escape key. I've been using ^[ for years, and it works in basically all standard terminals and vims as the escape key.

This is less safe than the branching alternatives. Instead of "moving" the original commit, this copies the original commit to a new one and leaves the original one dangling and wa…

I'm unhappy with the approval process being a simple search for "LGTM". I wish GitHub pull requests had actual support for a review process, e.g.: * open issues to address * review…

Came here to say exactly this. Most stats should probably either treat 3XX as "success" or follow the link to figure out what the next location's status is.

What is the correct way to force a link to open in a new tab, then? Unfortunately "let the user decide" is not the best answer if you want to link to something like "terms and cond…

This actually left me more curious than any of the rules in the style guide.

This looks pretty interesting. It does require the structure of the HTML to be very similar to the object, though. And I'm not thrilled that is uses the class name for a DOM node i…

Does the difference between someone thinking that I'm wrong 100% of the time vs. being wrong at one particular incident make it better? Certainly. It's still rude and childish, but…

I think I recall this website at one point existing at a domain from Bell Labs. I came across it almost 8 years ago searching on Google for a particular number sequence I came acro…

It's somewhat tangential, but I'm curious what you mean by "HTML-aware templating language".
