Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Gender
  1. There are two and only two genders.
  2. Okay, then there are two and only two biological genders.
  3. Gender is determined solely by biology.
  4. Okay, it’s mostly determined by biology, right?
  5. Please tell me it’s determined by DNA.
  6. Gender can be reliably determined through visual means. After all, no man would ever wear a burka.
  7. Once gender is set, it never changes.
  8. Even if the gender can change, it will only change from the one value to the other value.
  9. Only one gender can be “active” at the same time.
  10. We’re tracking gender now, so we’ve always tracked it.

Sever Scam

The Scammiest Scam To Yet Anonymity Scam

I'm still holding out for this being a hoax, a big joke, and that they're going to cancel the kickstarter any minute. It'd be quite the cute "lessons learned" about anonymity scams. However, I will be treating it from here on out as a genuine scam. (As of May 2nd, the kickstarter has been cancelled, after the strangest attempt to reply to this imaginable. Good riddance.)

This absolutely ridiculous thing was brought to my attention by a friend and since it was late at night I thought I must be delirious in how absurdly over the top fake it seemed. So I slept on it, woke up, and found that it had gotten a thousand dollars more funding and was every bit as flabbergasting as I thought it was.

Since I realize that not everyone has spent their entire lives studying computers – and such people are the targets of such scams –

Tracks changes of https://api.guildwars2.com/v2 (hourly)
** Public API v2 **
Usage:
The API follows the general pattern of enumerating possible values of the
subsequent path segment, with the fully qualified path yielding a json object
of the type being enumerated.
For example, /v2/colors will yield:
[1, 2, 3, ... ]

A simple, open-source, HMAC-SHA256 implementation in pure JavaScript. Designed for efficient minification.
// To ensure cross-browser support even without a proper SubtleCrypto
// impelmentation (or without access to the impelmentation, as is the case with
// Chrome loaded over HTTP instead of HTTPS), this library can create SHA-256
// HMAC signatures using nothing but raw JavaScript
/* eslint-disable no-magic-numbers, id-length, no-param-reassign, new-cap */
// By giving internal functions names that we can mangle, future calls to
// them are reduced to a single byte (minor space savings in minified file)
