I know the hardware is shiny and all, but I just do not understand how web dev people can buy Apple products when they are actively trying to end their livelihood.
You're paying Apple to inevitably have you retrain as a native app developer, and then you'll have to ask their permission to launch your product.
Make it make sense.

@slightlyoff in other browser attacks the solution is to switch browser until it's fixed.
For iOS users the only solution is to buy another device.

How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle #flash #adobe #webdev #javascript #rust #retrogaming

Friends, when you see people at the top levels of the US government that are this obviously corrupt: https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/justice-thomas-did-not-repay-substantial-portion-of-267230-loan-finance-committee-investigation-reveals-failed-to-report-forgiven-debt-on-ethics-filings-raising-questions-about-tax-compliance I want you to remember that this *is not normal*.
A few weeks ago, I was on a trip with a program officer from the National Science Foundation. There were some complications surrounding transportation, and for a while it looked like he might need to *contact his ethics officer* to ask for an *exemption* so that I could give him a ride in my *rented Toyota Corolla* to the *airport*. (As it turns out, a different plan worked out, so said ethics waiver was not required.)
The US federal government is full of people with high ethical standards who take conflicts of interest, even minor ones, completely seriously, as they should. Let's not rot from the head down by ignoring ethical standards for the people at the top of the government, please.

@Jennifer @RickiTarr Us old folks - I'm 73 - grew up in the last polio generation. Two of my classmates & our best man had it - only Gary escaped relatively unharmed. Tom spent a year in an iron lung & Donna's deformed hip necessitated a Caesarean section during childbirth. The fear was pervasive and there was parental rejoicing when vaccines were announced. Most of us soaked up respect for vaccines along with the vaccination. I'm current on EVERYTHING. Have you had your shingles shots yet?

@collinsworth JavaScript's functional chaining is a bit lackluster compared to other languages, so I wrote a little library called better-iterators.
It makes *this* case a bit more verbose. But there are many other cases that are a lot easier to do with it than these idioms.
Another benefit, range() is lazy, so no array allocation! (please ignore all the generators behind the curtain. 😆 )

The "vulnerability" here is the forced iOS monoculture that puts all users at risk any time a bug is found in Apple's web engine, which Cupertino has serially disinvested in for more than a decade. Engine diversity won't fix any specific issue, but it gives us better remediations when these sorts of things occur:
