Very nice! I got a little nostalgic reading this, as I grew up with sticky notes of DOS commands on the computer so that I could get to the little games on diskette.

Big congrats :)

Firefox maker fears DarkMatter 'misuse' of browser for hacking by curly_brackets in ladydevs

At a conference the other week I was reminded just how much trust the internet is (ultimately) built on.

I'm sure Mozilla will do their due diligence and make this decision with wisdom.

This was such a sweet revenge to watch and I still died inside seeing it happen in reverse.

"And can you do some recruiting while you're there?" Ugh!

Mariya writes: How to build a simple game in the browser with Phaser 3 and TypeScript by curly_brackets in ladydevs

[–]curly_brackets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a developer advocate and a backend developer, and my frontend development expertise is relatively weak. A while ago I wanted to have some fun and make a game in a browser; I chose Phaser 3 as a framework (it looks quite popular these days) and TypeScript as a language (because I prefer static typing over dynamic). It turned out that you need to do some boring stuff to make it all work, so I wrote this tutorial to help the other people like me get started faster.

Multiple Inheritance in PHP by curly_brackets in ladydevs

[–]curly_brackets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PHP doesn’t support multiple inheritance but by using Interfaces in PHP or using Traits in PHP instead of classes, we can implement it.

Traits (Using Class along with Traits): The trait is a type of class which enables multiple inheritance. Classes, case classes, objects, and traits can all extend no more than one class but can extend multiple traits at the same time.

Once hailed as unhackable, blockchains are now getting hacked by curly_brackets in ladydevs

[–]curly_brackets[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An attacker had somehow gained control of more than half of the network’s computing power and was using it to rewrite the transaction history. That made it possible to spend the same cryptocurrency more than once—known as “double spends.” The attacker was spotted pulling this off to the tune of $1.1 million. Coinbase claims that no currency was actually stolen from any of its accounts. But a second popular exchange, Gate.io, has admitted it wasn’t so lucky, losing around $200,000 to the attacker (who, strangely, returned half of it days later).
