How much is of a difference between a proper shutdown and hibernate, really small isn't?

That would cause some overload issues and a waste of bandwidth to serve the same videos as youtube.

You probably need to ask them directly, they'll answer very differently. Many may do it for fun, others for the challenge (that includes getting caught!) and others as a way for contrubuting against DRM. I guess this applies to any kind of reverse engineering, being good o bad, there's not a single answer to "why". For example, I love pen-testing websites, mostly because I make websites, apps and some AI stuff for a living and "hacking" (let's call it cracking) it's fun and rewarding. For example, Floatplane is a example of the above... I did a little pen-test (asking Luke first on a stream) because it's really fun to do it and I never ask something in return, but that can be different for other developers/crackers.

This is the kind of test that is really hard to accurately reproduce over and over. Every Chrome update has a different version of the V8 engine (the engine that runs JavaScript), and many optimizations. Also, I can open 100 tabs of really light pages and I won't hit even 2GB of ram. It all comes to the websites you visit and leave open. For example, many sites has ads, those ads are usually contains iframes that contains scripts that calls to iframes, even ads with a full-fledged javascript framework like React, Angular, and so on. That's another thing, many websites uses a wide variaty of Javascript frameworks (sometimes mixed up!) that manages memory very differently and that adds memory overhead. Repeat that with 60 tabs with poorly written Javascript, you can easily hit 10GB+. (Not to mention websites that uses videos as backgrounds)

Loging out and then loging in again may solve some issues, the session expires after a while and the session's tokens doesn't get refreshed yet. My pseudo-subscription got expired I was only able to see Luke's live streams anyways

Not only that, people take it seriously... you can find competitions here in many languages too. https://10fastfingers.com

Just a side note, you cannot access the website's cookie via document.cookie because it has the HttpOnly flag, it's not even possible via executing it directly with your console while you're on the site. (some cookies are visible, the one that actually matter is "sails.sid"). However, it's possible to still hijack the session by doing actual requests with XSS imitating the client webapp and this can be easily avoided with CRSF tokens. Anyways, Angular does sanitize scripts tags while rendering a template (like any other major framework). A recommendation is to add extra common security HTTP headers, since the site uses Sails this is a nice and simple middleware that supports connect/express (sails is compatible with express). Also... or maybe a CSP policy (the HTML5 metatag that can be a pain in the ass to configure it) PD: Sorry, I know it's still a very alpha site. It's just a reminder

Probably the cron jobs for checking renewals runs exactly at 00 sharp and it missed you by a minute or so

If you guys decide to use Aurelia as a frontend for the Creator's Editor, I'll kindly donate the code for audio behind this small experiment (well, it was pratically for a client): https://www.jsachs.net/animus/audio-editor/

Actually, Cordova (PhoneGap is another Cordova distribution) has plugins exactly for Camera, Storage, Accelerometer, Location, etc... even Push Notifications and many others developed by the community. I used almost every Cordova plugin and I'm confindent in saying that those works great even on the most awful chinese android knockoffs

I filled up the the forms and I think I'll waste their time, being quite busy already and being in Argentina not being able to move there may not be what they're looking for... so ignore my postulation! (José Sachs is my name). I wonder what frontend framework will be used... the rank may probably be like this for them React This is the most popular one right now, specially because Facebook is behind the framework. However, is not based on any standard what so ever. For me, writing JSX is a step backwards. React is used in really big sites like Netflix, Hulu, WhatsApp Web, parts of Facebook, Vimeo and maaany others. Quite a lot of tutorials for it, since the community is large at the moment. Vue.js Also uses Virtual Dom like, becoming popular because of it's lightweight but somewhat powerful Angular 2 (this is way too "over engineered", too bad) Backed by a team of Google I think it's their biggest flaws, they had a incredible big community and backstabbed many by going in a complete different route with over-engineered features, too much that their template syntax is a bit overwhelming at first. Polymer Also backed by Google, this is the only library/framework I've see them using the most. YouTube Gaming, Play Music and many many other Google services uses Polymer and it's really good material design components. Aurelia It's really "out-of-the-way", basically you end up writing almost vanilla ES7 code with less than a line of framework boilerplate. It's based on web standards and they are devoted to keep it that way, so you can learn and use what you've learnt in the future. This is the one I personally use everywhere, at work, personal projects, etc. The reason? Well, it since it stays out of my way I'm really productive, maintenance is awesome and painless because of the bauty of ES7 and not a single line of framework junk I've to remember. Also another reason to use it, a LTT viewer usually contributes to it on GitHub (me! , maybe other I don't know) I've a bunch of APPs and websites already on production made with it, so I can say it's very stable, ok... I know, all the others are stable.... I just wanted to throw it out there And well, for NodeJS there are not so many but the good ones for APIs are either Express, restify, Koa (made by the dudes behind Express, it's basically the new and next "express") and not much else. For media transcoding... well, in my case I coulnd't find something magic that solves it. Gotta code that on your own (not all tho) Why I posted this? I don't know.

As a Full Stack developer I'd like to join the team (specially LTT), however, I'm not a native english speaker so that always ends up bad for me, even more when there's a phone number field... my english is so bad I feel stupid speaking it on the phone. Ironically I did something similar for a news local station but not public facing, where there is some basic video transcoding, the entire site is developed in NodeJS (in addition to MongoDB, ElasticSearch and Redis) and the mobile APP (hybrid) has a chat that uses Socket.io (a websocket library). Also, I'd like to see Floatplane as a PWA (Progressive Web Apps) using Service Workers as I did with this site, it's just awesome to load stuff instantly and send push notification to browsers. About NodeJS not being a workhorse, the news site I've been working usually have from 200 to 1500 concurrent users and the API being hit with 200 to 800 req/s. Thanks to clever caching and NGINX lovely load balancing, I can't say NodeJS is slow.
