Mit der Technik #FROST können Websites über #JavaScript die #SSD-Aktivität von Besuchern analysieren und so offene Tabs oder Apps erkennen.

Websites have a new way to spy on visitors: Analyzing their SSD activity
Telltale SSD activity can be measured in the browser using simple JavaScript.

What if #JavaScript and #Rust had a baby?
That is sorta what #KernelScript looks like to me.

KernelScript: A Programming Language For Kernel Customization & App Optimizations
Multikernel Technologies Inc has been working on a multi-kernel architecture for the Linux kernel while in addition to that they have been developing KernelScript as a domain-specific language for carrying out Linux kernel customizations and app-specific optimizations.

"The code points represent every letter of the US alphabet when fed to computers, but their output is completely invisible to humans. People reviewing code or using static analysis tools see only whitespace or blank lines. To a #JavaScript interpreter, the code points translate into executable code."
Sigh.

Supply-chain attack using invisible code hits GitHub and other repositories
Unicode that's invisible to the human eye was largely abandoned—until attackers took notice.

Always forgetting to use `.at(-1)` to get last element in an array.

JavaScript-Rendering kostet Google Geld. Pro Seite. Bei jedem Crawl. 💸Googlebot muss für JS-lastige Seiten eine Headless-Chrome-Instanz starten, DOM rendern und auf API-Responses warten.
