  @Based_SpaceGoji Fun fact from the prehistory of the web: In the summer of 1993, when this movie came out, there were no web browsers. (Using AOL was nothing like surfing the web a few years later.) So there was no easy way to go online and look something up, and resolve a disagreement. For example... I knew at least two kids at my high school who were SURE those were pterodactyls flying away at the end. I was like, "Dude, they were pelicans. Why would the heroes be calmly watching and smiling at dinosaurs escaping the f---ing island?" But there was no way to convince them. No way to just go on a website and look it up, and show them. The fact is, before everyone had easy access to the web, life was full of really stupid little disagreements like that, especially when you were a kid. Did the kid from the Life Cereal commercials die from eating pop-rocks with Coke? Did Alfonso Ribeiro break his neck doing a headspin? For me, at least, those pelicans at the end of Jurassic Park were the last example of that particular kind of stupid argument. A year later, Netscape launched. One more thing... I always wondered if Spielberg heard stories of people mistaking those pelicans for pterodactyls, and was annoyed by it. Especially when I saw the sequel, and it ends with what is very, very clearly a pterodactyl spreading its wings in the sunlight. As if Spielberg was saying, "Here, dumbasses, THAT's a pterodactyl."

  PortSwigger reveals new CSS attack chains breaking webmail defenses to steal passwords and tokens. The techniques compromise major platforms including Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, Fastmail, Proton Mail, Yahoo Mail, and AOL Mail. One Outlook and Firefox attack chain spoofs a Microsoft sign-in screen to capture typed passwords in real-time. A Yahoo and AOL vulnerability allows attackers to reconstruct a 12-character Medium login token to hijack accounts. The research remains strictly proof-of-concept with no active malicious exploitation reported as of August 8. Security teams can't keep relying on sanitizers to block CSS when browsers and AI assistants inherently trust the interface context.

  A programmer built a database because software on a US Navy destroyer could not afford to lose its connection. Today that tiny database sits inside every iPhone, Android phone, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, and most people have never heard his name. His name is D. Richard Hipp. The database is SQLite. In 2000, Hipp was helping build software for the USS Oscar Austin, a guided-missile destroyer. The program helped sailors respond when the ship was damaged. If a pipe burst, it could find the valves sailors needed to close, the other valves they needed to open, and exactly where each one was located. During a real attack, this could mean smoke, flooding, broken pipes, and people trying to keep the ship alive. All that information was stored inside an Informix database. When the database server worked, everything was fine. But sometimes the server went down. Sailors would open the damage-control program and get a message saying it could not connect to the database. Hipp’s team did not control the server. They still got blamed because their software showed the error. Hipp started asking a simple question: Why did the program need a database server at all? It only needed to read information from the ship’s computer. Why could it not pull that data directly from the disk? Then government funding paused, leaving Hipp without contract work for a few months. So he built the database himself. SQLite had no separate server to connect to. No administrator had to keep it running. The entire database could live inside one file, and the application could read that file directly. If the computer was working, the database was working. The Navy kept Informix as its official system, but Hipp’s team began using SQLite for development and testing. Then Hipp released it on the internet. Someone managed to run a full SQL database on a Palm Pilot. Motorola called and paid him to improve it for a new phone operating system. AOL wanted it because it needed a database small enough to fit on its installation CDs. Then Mozilla, Symbian, Adobe, Google, and countless other companies followed. When Android began shipping SQLite on millions of phones, users found bugs Hipp had never seen before. So he spent about a year working 60-hour weeks to bring it up to aviation-style testing standards. Today SQLite estimates that more than one trillion active databases may exist across the world. They store browser history, messages, settings, contacts, app data, and countless other pieces of our digital lives. The database created because a warship could not trust a server became the database billions of devices trust when no server exists.
