I should say, doing this only mitigates the middle-click-paste pastejack exploit. The underlying issue - JAVASCRIPT CAN ALTER WHAT YOU HAVE SELECTED AT WILL AND WITHOUT DETECTION - remains, and I believe we'll see other exploits pop up from this.

Say you're about to copy a crypto wallet. You have it selected, and are about to press CTRL-C to copy it. It is entirely possible for malicious code to detect that. And, as it turns out, it's possible for it to change the selection to a different (invisible) string, right as you press CTRL-C.

No, that's only for pasting specifically.

It's copy that's an exploit vector.

To disable it, set clipboard.autocopy to false.

You can set clipboard.autocopy to false in about:config to disable this. It breaks the example, at least.

EDIT: I thought the behavior was preserved for textareas, as the comment box here still copied on select. But it suddenly disabled it here too. Restarting the browser is probably a safe bet :)

Well, I thought it was fun.

Glenn Howerton's performance is so good. Best performance I've seen this year, that's for sure.

The cause of ADHD has not been confirmed yet, but it is generally claimed to be related to dopamine production and uptake.

I certainly had ADHD before being exposed to work environments. I've had my entire life. But it wasn't until I got my diagnosis, and started taking medication for it, that my square-peg of an existence began to fit in with the round-hole of reality.

Work environments have nothing to do with it for me. In fact, I love my job. Here, my ADHD is something of a benefit. I've excelled at everything I have found enjoyable, and have no qualms with working insane crunch on the stuff I like.

The key word there being like. If I don't like doing it, it's practically impossible for me to do. Or rather, if it's mundane or otherwise just "not interesting", I struggle. Strangely enough, I have an easier time accomplishing things I actively dislike doing. Not sure why.

It's like my body is controlled by an autopilot gone rogue, and the medication helps me override it.

For example, I have trouble going to the bathroom to take a piss. Not because of any phobia or anything. I just cant. Literally. I'll sit and squirm until I'm about to piss myself, and only then will I go to the bathroom. Been doing that since I was a little kid.

One way around it is to trick myself somehow, like by putting on a podcast, even though I'll only hear like 20 seconds of it. Couldn't do that as a kid, tho. Back then, I would wait until it became physically painful, because only then would my rogue autopilot allow me to go piss.

Doing laundry? Impossible. Vacuuming? No. Washing dishes? Well, now I have a dishwasher, but emptying it? No way.

That is, unless I take my medication (methylphenidate). It doesn't make mundane things any less mundane. It's still boring to brush my teeth and piss. It just makes it possible.

I didn't get my diagnosis until I was 28. My entire life I've been struggling with this. It's a primary factor in my lifelong battle with depression. It's lead me down a path of substance abuse ­— alcohol and cocaine in particular.

Despite all of this, I still second-guess myself on whether I truly have ADHD. What if I'm just a drug addict, and I just tricked a psychiatrist into giving me those sweet sweet drugs?

Yes, but Apple Records aren't going to be phishing Apple Music customers.

Phishers won't be applying for trademarks to impersonate Apple.

My first internship was as a Dynamics AX dev. Me and another guy. Our mentor was a super-duper senior architect something something. He once asked us what we were planning on doing, career-wise, and we were kinda surprised; obviously we were working towards becoming Dynamics AX devs, and were hoping for a job at that place.

He got a somewhat wistful look in his eyes, and said (more to himself than to us) he wished he could go back and choose not to do that.

I'll never forget that. He was earning an insane amount of money, working super high-level at one of the largest IT firms in the country.

You should set up a health endpoint for that, rather than just serving the default page.

I've used it for resources that have been permanently deleted, rather than the 404 that you'll usually see. I think it makes sense for that sort of stuff.

From a user perspective, getting a 404 after following a link that previously worked can indicate a couple of things. Like maybe the resource still exists in some other place, but they didn't set up redirects. Maybe it's been "privated" in some way, and I no longer have access to it.

A 410 makes it explicitly clear to me, that the resource has been permanently deleted. It'd also be nice if the response included some metadata as to when the resource was deleted.

This is really cool. Absolutely fantastic editor! I'm blown away

There are countless times where I would have found this incredibly helpful. Just 10 minutes ago, I wanted this exact tool.

Thanks!

I was not aware of the data-last convention. Thanks! Makes a lot of sense.

My mental model of assign was backwards, and it took me a while to comprehend why their implementation would be data-last.

So, the data is the object that is being modified? And the idea is it lets you write stuff like this more easily:

    const addStuffToObject = stuff -> object -> assign({ "some_stuff": stuff }, object);
    const addWeirdStuff = addStuffToObject("weird stuff");
    const weirdObj = addWeirdStuff({ "foo": "bar" });
