“Vive La Resolution!”


That’s right. I don’t think this is for RTOS.


While I think solutions like this are useful in some situations, I wonder how much non-human traffic and spam they might end up being responsible for.


Isn’t this why these ‘headless’ solution have (or are actually built on) JavaScrict engines like V8 with the ability to also simulate any user interaction?


I’ve been working with a US based ad agency recently, who asked about some features a bit like this.

I’ve had to educate them on this idea with the fact that if you give the internet a ‘pen’, sooner rather than later, they’ll draw a cartoon penis.


Indeed. I think the story here, isn't so much about the loss in transaction fees, but how an attacker in Russia ordered and paid for a user in Australia's account.

I notice the victim uses Android: Is it rooted? What other random stuff do they have installed? etc. etc. - because that will make a huge difference.


You mean the .fla ;)


Downloading youtube videos has ruined me.


Ha.


"In my experience a lot of JavaScript code is already unreadable after having passed through minification"

I think that's the point. Obfuscation.

All minified code is easily de-minified if you want to know how it works (and can understand the language)


Absolutely true.

The point I was trying to make is that the days of yore OP was alluding to where when I "put any of [my] code on the Web, [...] I can read it" are long gone, thanks to the obfuscation of modern bundling technologies.

By the same logic, all compiled code (including WebAssembly) is easily reverse engineered if you want to know how it works.


You might be missing the point of vectors.


I took me a while to realise this was a blockchain development.
