Anyone here ever play Lego Alpha Team twenty years ago?
In hindsight it was my first exposure to programming-like logic. Loved that game.
yes

I still carry a "Hipster PDA"[1] around, binder clip and all. Said binder clip came out of a box from the 1970s.
It's immensely useful in a pinch, it's free form, and I can place it flat on a surface and write on it.
And, if I write sensitive information on a card, unlike a regular pocket notebook, I can store it or take a secure photo of it and physically pitch that index card.
Thanks, Merlin Mann[2].
as an index card enthusiast, I think this is the next step for me.

SL looks like an absolute dog's breakfast. I'll be sticking with Go and Ebitengine's Kage shader language.
Or you know, just use a browser like a normal person...
We built a UI-centric cross-cloud search engine, too. <edit: link redacted as other commenter perceived this to be an ad>
The first VC we pitched to felt like this was too niche of a problem. They wanted us to come back with a different, grander, pitch, so we'll see. In the current fundraising climate, it's been difficult to gather data points on whether we are on the right track (this post makes us feel like we're not crazy). We reached out to investors outside America, where we're based, and we're quickly realizing the VCs aren't as tech-savvy as we expected. After going thru the YC application process this cycle, we've have much greater appreciation for YC. They understand tech and startups, both. For one, we're instructed to define a toy / small problem, "don't talk, do" as opposed to pretty slides and ideas.
Best of luck to Steampipe and whoever else is working on this problem.

I always found it interesting that payphones could receive calls in America. Australian payphones can't receive calls (at least, not to my knowledge), and it always seemed like it would be ripe for abuse if they could.
You can 100% call Australian payphones. Last week I stood next one in the Sydney CBD and called it, it rung - I didn't pick up.
Here's a list with physical addresses and phone numbers. Enjoy.

The Ladybird codebase is generally very defensive, but like every browser, our JavaScript engine is slightly less so (in the pursuit of performance.)
There are architectural lessons to learn here beyond just fixing the bugs found. We've since replaced these allocations (+ related ones) with callee-specific stack memory instead of trying to be clever with heap allocation reuse.
We're also migrating more and more of our memory management to garbage collection, which sidesteps a lot of the traditional C++ memory issues.
As others have mentioned, sandboxing & site isolation will make renderer exploitation a lot less powerful than what's demonstrated here. Even so, we obviously want to avoid it as much as possible!
