New comment by CryoLogic in "First federal grant for psychedelic treatment research in 50 years"

The active dose to LD50 ratio for alcohol is somewhere about 1:13 depending on tolerance. For Magic Mushrooms or LSD, it is above 1:1000.

In other words, it is nearly impossible to accidentally kill yourself via overdose on psychedelics - but somewhat easy with alcohol.

New comment by CryoLogic in "JavaScript timers can be bypassed with “Infinity”"

CryoLogic — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 23:33:12 +0000

If a NodeJS application accepts a value from the client application, but validates against an early call (e.g. min 25 mins from now) the Infinity value can bypass that validation.

Because it's a relatively unknown side effect, most validations probably wouldn't check for Infinity.

Plus although Infinity pops off the timer at 0 seconds, a validation based on millisecond math would fail because Infinity > 25 minutes in milliseconds.

JavaScript timers can be bypassed with “Infinity”

Mozilla seems to be really underperforming in upper management - all of these initiatives that have failed have resulted in engineering layoffs.

When will the business unit leaders responsible for repeated failure be let go and replaced?

Depends on the type of web app. https://anim8.io - a site for hobby animators could never run on a $10VPS.

The bandwidth usage is just way too high and video compression requires GPU compute.

https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/ is much more comprehensive, and sadly very few ever read it.

Lots of functionality in the spec that isn't even possible to find on MDN or W3 Schools.

Most of the publishing industry still uses .docx, some of the more advanced publishers have moved over to ASCIIDoc - personally I think Markdown is the easiest to use for a big project (having written and published a technical book prior).

There is very little functionality JQuery offers that the modern browser DOM API doesn't provide with more robust performance.
