reddit!

http://cortexture.net/reddit/

In early 2011, reddit.com hosted a programming and design contest in order to grow their team. This project was created to mirror live reddit data from their JSON API through a cleaner interface. It is mostly client-side Javascript with a few simple backend scripts to allow cookies to work. Users can view stories/subreddits/comments, search, sort, login and vote.

Autofill is Evil

http://cortexture.net/autofill-is-evil/

Most browsers have an "autofill" or "autocomplete" feature that quickly fills out webforms with common, saved information. But it's trivial to display a "malicious" form in such a manner that obscures autofillable fields, resulting in the user unable to determine which pieces of information are actually getting sent to a server.

On April 5th, 2015 I discovered a bug in the then-current version of Chrome (41) that would cause the browser to crash when it encountered a long and/or malformed URL in the href attribute of an anchor tag. I submitted the bug to Google, and it was marked as 'Won't Fix' almost immediately. So I posted it to Github. This culminated in a reddit thread making it's way to the front page before getting removed, a submission to /r/bestof, and a HackerNews thread where the dev who fixed it reached out. All in all, a pretty amazing 12 hours.

"Sifting through gang tags, vulgarities and slanderous numbers, I find the most inspiring and brightest graffiti in the most uninspiring and darkest (let alone disgusting) of places. I trace the gems with tracing paper and the exact sharpie, crayon, bic pen, or other writing utensil the original artist (it could be YOU!) used. Finally, I scan them in and bring them off the wall. These pieces of graffiti get preserved long after any business owner paints them over."

"Estate Millwork uses traditional joinery methods, much of them unchanged since the heyday of woodcraft and furniture making, the 18th century. All of our products are hand assembled, and hand finished and our benchwork is accomplished in such a way as the result is indistinguishable from the finest craftsmanship produced in the old ways. At our mill, we still employ the apprentice system to bring on our young and energetic woodworkers under the guidance and tutelage of stern old masters, some with more than a half century of experience. Our masters in turn were taught by masters, many of whom practiced their craft in the late nineteenth century."

ISOrTT - International Solid Organ Transplant Tolerance Registry

http://www.transplant-tolerance.org

"Achieving and understanding patients' ability to undergo solid organ transplantation without the need for ongoing immunosuppression is a key goal of transplantation research. The ISOrTT Registry Website exists to fulfill two key missions. The first is to establish a multi-center, international database registering patients who have been successfully maintained off immunosuppression for at least one year after transplantation. Also, ISOrTT will serve to facilitate enrollment of interested patients into appropriate studies of transplant tolerance and serve as a resource on tolerance studies and literature for interested patients, physicians, and families."
