@argv_minus_one might be possible by fucking around with iframes but not worth it.
@argv_minus_one there is an idea that you could often write some code to detect the bug before activating the work around, but personally I don't like that very much. The problem I have with it is that some bugs aren't detectable anyway and some bugs take a noticeable amount of cpu time and JS bytes to write a detector for and it seems to me very bad to punish all users for the foreseeable future with lots of code bloat for a browser bug that will hopefully be temporary.
@0x47df i suggest ghidra
@wuest @0xabad1dea 👍❤️
@demize play Dwarf Fortress! :)
@rnd there's a thing in technology where sometimes telling me what a given technology is bad at also indirectly tells me what it's good at. Cuz in tech there are impossibility theorems everywhere.
@FirstProgenitor @AmyZenunim well there's nothing stopping Dril from paying a person to read out "good morning. I'm Bond. James Bond. And you're gorgeous. Drop dead gorgeous." with their camera pointed at a standee once per day.
@demize offhand I believe Dwarf Fortress does something like this for example to give you plausible feeling mountain ranges into which to delve too greedily and too deep.
