Historically I'd say Emacs plugin system predates atom and sublime, and was certainly as impressive in its flexibility.

I have spoken to multiple parents about how dangerous this "game" is.

I tell them that I'd let my kids walk across times square in NYC alone before I'd let them play Roblox.

Honestly times square is pretty safe these days, but it seems to be an effective analogy to other parents emphasizing the kind of danger that roblox presents.

@scrubbles

Don't worry it's completely different now. Martha retired so now Mary Ellen sends the emails.

@SkabySkalywag

It's comments like these that make me wish that fedi had some kind of downvote system.

@cm0002

@WizardPope oh yeah they do that for everyone. It's a safety feature called puny code.

people were using weird chars to impersonate well known domains for phishing, so if you register a domain using unusual or mixed language characters it renders it as puny code to prevent spoofing.

@tourist @WizardPope

after I discovered egyptian hieroglyphs have unicode chars bought 𓅃.com as a joke last year.

even better a friend bought
𓂺.com

Security isn't binary, it's a spectrum. You apply the level of security that is appropriate for each situation.

Of course it's possible to brute force it, but by the same logic you could brute force jwt tokens, or api keys, or even ssl certs.

It's literally impossible to apply "max security" to everything, so you have to prioritize.

What happened was unconscionable, but insisting uuid are mathematically breakable isn't helpful, and can make it worse.

@EmilyIsTrans @lena

sounds like firebase itself is a hack.

I'm honestly embarrassed by my fellow devs more often than not these days.

What the fuck happened to craftsmanship? Or taking pride in your work?

oh right, techbro startup culture garbage ended it.

@Vince @KickMeElmo malbolge is computationally intense to generate. It's self-modifying, is ternary instead of binary, and after each operation the next opcode gets replaced by its mod 94 value.

It's like the insane sudoku of coding.

@Schmoo @camron

Well hey at least React is known to be really secure with sensible package management.

Oh wait I spelled Rust wrong.

@VoidJuiceConcentrate @maris

Right?

pretty sure there are more possible chess positions than atoms in the earth (universe?), so even if every atom of our planet were converted to transistors there'd be no way to fully represent all possibilities.
