It's possible to do HTTPS MITM detection!

(seems to exploit the fact that most MITM proxies are simplistic wrt UA)
Any HTTP site with form fields (which is practically every HTTP site) will soon show a browser security warning! https://www.troyhunt.com/life-is-about-to-get-harder-for-websites-without-https/
Are there any Hoogle-style IDE suggestion tools? "Devs who wrote a function with the same type as yours wrote ..."

(viewing past DB states differs from old data in today's format)
On emoji use to convey intent and as a body language/facial expression substitute (45% of emoji use is 😀!) https://m.nautil.us/issue/50/emergence/why-you-need-emoji
