The framing of this is far nicer/warmer/positive compared to OP's position of being "above" money. With that said, nonograph does look cool.

npm's recent provenance feature fixes this, and it's pretty easy to setup. It will seriously help prevent things like this from ever happening again, and I'm really glad that big packages are starting to use it.

This is the sort of thing I'd leave on an unused monitor all the time or have on display somewhere. Really cool aesthetic

We never really thought about documenting progress, so the photo of the email was taken from a phone camera of a teacher's computer (they had sent the email). We managed to find it while I was writing the article earlier on in the year

It was part of the homework, we had to watch a video and write down notes in a physical notebook. The notebook was never checked because they assumed that a video watched >=1x meant that we understood the task. The videos took a while to

I didn't really get that vibe, especially when we called Colin. He was super friendly. But then again, we didn't want to test it and we complied immediately =)

It's always a game of cat and mouse... if a human can use a website then it's theoretically possible that a robot can too. I used to do a lot of sneaker botting a few years prior, so I kind of lot about web automation then. Develo

That's a good point, you're definitely on to something I think. Reversing classes at a young age would be super engaging for kids as it's "not something you're supposed to do" My mother is a teacher for ages 7-

Hahaha true, and that's really not even a terrible idea to give 24 hours. We definitely ended things on a good note with Hegarty & Educake. They were really friendly to us and also super helpful to be honest, good team over there.

Between 2018 and 2020, I wrote a website that cloned the databases of a couple online learning platforms, and used it to skip lots of homework I should have done. I wrote this at the beginning of the year, but never released it as I was nev

It's more for the SPA age of web apps, where we want to GET a resource from an API, but have a body in the request. For example fetching the user who is currently logged in and getting a JSON response back; it's not something you

I wouldn't use this for Discord, as it requires you to insert a user token (aka self botting – which is against the terms of service). Bar that, the app looks quite promising, but I would be wary of what they are offering.
