I think my love of the font comes from how comfy everything feels. A lot of nice curves 😉.

I like hack. I use it for everything.

Ya, okay that is understandable.

To be honest I have never tried a wasm reversing challenge. I may need to give it a shot.

I completely agree.

However, I still would rather have all the websites I visit pass through my browser’s api than be making straight syscalls.

I think it’s not perfect security but a good line of defense.

Hmm i guess I just haven’t spent enough time trying to parse unminified js.

I still would think though, if the code is simple enough to understand when you unminify the js, equivalent code should be similarly simple to understand if it’s wasm passed through IDA.

I’d argue that having a sandbox that can run binaries with a limited and customizable feature set is actually a good thing for the web. I think there are more technically competent solutions, but the fact that WASM is available on virtually every machine and os, makes it pretty powerful.

If implemented right WASM might speed up our web apps, keep the browser sandbox that is actually quite nice, and run on pretty much any machine. If they open sourced the code, that’d be even better.

Between minified js and WASM, I think I’d take WASM (I can’t understand minified js anyway). Between a pure html site and WASM, I think I’d take the pure html site (but I don’t think we will be living in that world anytime soon).

My algorithms prof recommended tim roughgarden’s course.

I haven’t watched the videos but his textbook is pretty nice.
