challenge accepted haha. This might be a easy way to do it (excuse the clickbaity headline) https://hothardware.com/news/man-takes-over-airport-monitor-...

Firefox Android can ;)
And all you had to give up was sandboxing and process per site isolation!

Also Chrome was caught out last year, by non other than their own ProjectZero, with a vuln in their unsecured GPU code.

#33Anybody else willing to admit playing Uplink back in the day? I sure played it and miss it haha.
Remember when it began to make the modem connecting noises, and pulling the cable just in case it was connecting me to a foreign number.

Guilty! I even wrote my own web-based hacking simulator game because of the influence Uplink had on me. A couple years ago I started working on a new web-based UI[0], the start menu icon at the bottom left surely will feel familiar :) [0] - https://proj-img-listing.s3.amazonaws.com/img/he2-ss0.png
Another set of hacker games, Hacker Evolution, Hacker Evolution Untold, Hacker Evolution Duality released their source code[0] along with the games on steam for around $10

#35If you just randomly press keys (keyboard face roll) it will still type out the code. Sometimes I feel like this is how other people actually write their code. When I encounter some of my own past work when I thought I was being "clever" , sometimes that's how I feel about my own past work. It's a always a reminder to me that I should avoid trying to be too clever.
I used to read and believe this. After all, clarity is important. Since then I’ve realized that our brains are like lenses; learning to code re-wires your brain to read code, which is different than other types of data, similar to the way that reading a book is a different interface than examining a room; just as we may choose to read certain authors or subjects, or may not think of the same things when examining a r…
Function is compromised in a code base that must be maintained by multiple people over the course of years when if it is not written with both function and clarity in mind. I have never myself encountered a task where I have had to compromise functionality for clarity, or clarity for functionality.

Yes. We have this notion that code should be understandable to a junior dev with no context and only 90 seconds to understand what the function does. But for a complex system, it would take a lot longer to communicate what's going on in such simple terms, and you would wind up being much more verbose and/or repeating yourself everywhere, which then becomes an impediment to a fluent dev who has been working with the system for months and already has the context.
You need that higher-level clarity in code so that you can still work with abstractions and not have to dive into every function at a code-level, but when working inside a function or a deeply technical area, it's reasonable to expect a developer to spend some time reading the code and coming up with a mental execution model, which is purest when it comes directly from the code in the form that works, and makes sense to the people who actively need to maintain it.
