  • What do all you coders actually do?

    Jump

  • I write software in many languages that does the things i want it to do. i understand how to write code that works. most of the time i write software it works on the first few tries. i don't do a lot of copy pasting. i write functions and use libraries to create things. it's strange to me, but from what i hear, it's becoming rare for people to really understand how to make software.

  • it's always fun to get this one as a trans woman. then i say i don't get periods and they ask why and i say i don't have a uterus.

  • What do you think of coupon services like retailmenot?

    Jump

  • RetailMeNot used to be all right but nowadays it's pretty useless in my experience. almost all the "deals" aren't actual coupons and are more like advertisements.

  • He also says in the video that clippy didn't read your letter. It did--that's how it could detect that you were writing one.

  • I like the taste. It's very soft and fully saturated with the sweet syrup. Not exactly like donut holes, hard to find a good comparison. Very soggy but in a good way.

  • It's because of the reliance on hundreds of thousands of third party web dependencies that are constantly updating and constantly getting security patches (and introducing vulnerabilities)

  • Is there a way to block browser JavaScript from executing commands that retrieve sensitive information from my local machine, while still allowing JavaScript that is only used for rendering web pages?

    Jump

  • Well, undiscovered vulnerabilities are kind of a special case. You can't do anything about those except turn off your pc entirely. Using NoScript isn't necessarily going to help with those.

  • Browser JavaScript is already sandboxed, so there is a limit to the info that can be accessed, though it does expose some of basic information you've listed.

    To the best of my knowledge, the only items that can be accessed from the ones you listed are:

    • current time (by creating a Date object)
    • operating system and version (though this is usually not precise info and only provides a rough version)

    an example of the info that can be accessed (via the navigator property) for a Windows pc is: 

     
        
# platform = Win32
# appCodeName = Mozilla
# appName = Netscape
# appVersion = 5.0 (Windows; en-US)
# language = en-US
# mimeTypes = [object MimeTypeArray]
# oscpu = Windows NT 5.1
# vendor = Firefox
# vendorSub = 1.0.7
# product = Gecko
# productSub = 20050915
# plugins = [object PluginArray]
# userAgent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

    As you can see it's not a whole lot of information. Certainly there is no way to get the serial number or other hardware information. Also, local files cannot be accessed without permission.

    There are some user agent spoofer addons that will change the user agent string. I am not sure but i imagine some of those also allow overriding this navigator information to anonymize that data further. Preventing accessing the user's time zone would be pretty impossible though given how the Date object works.

  • if anyone is still using Instagram there's a very hidden feature if you tap the logo where you can view just your followers' posts. it really sucks that it's hidden though.
