> I've noticed recently that the JavaScript debugger in Firefox can "un-Webpack" (and in some cases un-minify, if I've read the inputs and outputs correctly) the code behind many sites. It's certainly not as approachable as declarative HTML, but I suspect to some enterprising person, that route is still open.

That's just sourcemaps I think. Pretty standard stuff, but the site have to provide the maps.


I did that in 8th grade across 3 schools that shared a network. Got my laptop privileges revoked for a few months.

It was just a batch script where I had copy/pasted the same line over and over again, no fancy loops.


> Society has to find a way to promote traditional lifestyles Why?

If those lifestyles are so superior why do they need promotion? It's almost like people are not some homogenous blob, but individuals with their own wants and desires.


To be devils advocate here we also have to promote healthy eating, getting screened for cancer, or smoking PSAs. Just because something might be classified as "superior" doesn't mean that it will always self promote or be accessible.


Further, if we engage with the likely meaning here, I would also pose the question: why do we need to promote a “lifestyle” at all.

If being straight is an inherent trait that isn’t a choice, surely promotion is pointless. If it is a choice then the question still stands. If sexual orientation is chosen, what difference would it make what someone chooses in the first place? They have a right to determine that for themselves.

But of course sexual orientation isn’t a choice, so promoting heterosexuality seems like it would be little more than a “the majority of us exist!” marketing campaign. Which seems bizarre to me.


> I've plastered a copyright notice at the top of the source - as I've always done...

Do people actually still do this?


> Taxable benefit would occur if Microsoft bought software of others and gifted it to employee. Or if Microsoft could not reasonably expect people to actually test the software, or allowed them to resell it.

Isn't that exactly what they did?


I don't know about GP, but personally I already have a music streaming subscription so I don't want to pay for yet another one.

Come to think of it, I think I have 2 ATM; Apple Music through my Apple One thing, and through my ISP.


You forgot the second part of that post: "I think that's what he wants but doesn't know how to go about it". Which is, to me, clearly another jab at the critic, as if Ben is just trying get followers.


Hetzner does marketing. A German tech youtuber I follow does in-video spots for them.


Yes, a few years back there was another german youtuber who also had some promo ad for hetzner. Though the amount of ads is pretty limited compared to others like Linode.


Slow traffic is absolutely fine, if you can actually identify it as slow traffic.

Just by looking at tractors, cyclists and pedestrians you know they are not going very fast, but a car going 20mph where the limit is 50mph is insanely dangerous because your brain instinctually thinks the car is going about as fast as you are and you have to get quite close to pickup the speed difference.

Here in Denmark you can get a fine for going too slow, it's called being an unnecessary nuisance.


Sorry, a car can go slow for many good reasons not visible to the following traffic (and be it only, that something in front of that car is slow, but you cannot see it). You have to be prepared to that. A car can even be entirely stopped and you should be able to stop without hitting it. Failing to do so is entirely the fault of the following traffic.

It is an entirely different matter, that one isn't allowed to drive unnecessarily slow to not block the following traffic. This is about the traffic flow, not of safety.


If it took 12 hours to get pointed out, it's probably not a well known fact.
