What a fun little project! I thought it was going to be the 30 Rock one!

One who thinks "open source" means blindly copy/pasting code snippets found online.

Everyone knows investing in cybersecurity is just wasteful spending!

You could take a look at SELÖVE, a (severely out of date) fork of LÖVE that is intended to make it safe to run arbitrary .love games. (It used to be on bitbucket, but it looks like it's gone? I'm not sure if I have the repo locally :/)

Running arbitrary code was such a problem that I just completely ruled it out for bitser. Instead of serializing functions, you can register safe functions as resources. This doesn't solve the upvalue problem, though.

Cool to see you were inspired by Ser!

Not exactly. The headline is a bit misleading imho: the article doesn't say that CO2 uptake by plants is up by 31%, rather that new estimates of the CO2 uptake by plants is 31% higher than previous estimates. That doesn't preclude a temporary collapse of carbon absorption (related mostly to forest fires as far as I can tell).

^ That kind of shallow understanding of health is a large part of what makes RFK Jr. so dangerous.

It's very possible that if you showed me the MapHub UI eight years ago, I'd have intuited that I'd need to save manually---I can't tell for sure. I am definitely aware that the way I engage with software nowadays is very different than when I started using computers in the early 2000s, and I don't doubt it is still evolving due to the changing conventions in UI and functionality.

I work with files every day, and I'm not sure I would have realised I'd needed to save manually with the original MapHub UI either. A web-based interface that looks like that, I expect it to be transparent. If it'd had three icons (the classic blank page, open folder and floppy disk) in the top left, then I'd assume it would need manual saving. (I'm not saying that's what you need to do, just analysing my own intuitions)

With that name I'd expect a tiny implementation of JavaScript.

Anything that needs to be read over the phone should probably be written out using something like the NATO phonetic alphabet, split into smaller chunks if needed: "The code? It's kilo eight niner; one three mike; delta echo lima."

Yeah, other details are missing too. For example backgroundStyle:

> cover fills the entire width and height of the node.

Does that work like the CSS background-size: cover; or background-size: 100% 100%;?

> ratio maintains the aspect ratio of the background image.

Does that mean CSS cover? contain? Something else?

That is correct.

The client sends the encrypted (via HTTPS) but not hashed password to the server, both for changing your password and checking your password. So the server receives the password in plaintext but shouldn't store it.

Whatever the client sends to the server, an attacker can send too.

Especially if Jack's your uncle and he's on a horse...
