variable concatenation

You guys might get a kick out of this

code:

($=[$=[]][(__=!$+$)[_=-~-~-~$]+({}+$)[_/_]+($$=($_=!''+$)[_/_]+$_[+$])])()[__[_/_]+__[_+~$]+$_[_]+$$](_/_)

(add "javascript:" at the start and paste into the address bar to run)

Probably an increase in browser security against bookmarklets (javascript executed in the url bar).

Open up the browser's console and try running it there (Ctrl+Shift+J on chrome).

Zren is likely right, JavaScript security is a big issue. At some point Facebook attempted to even disable browser's console ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21692646/how-does-facebook-disable-the-browsers-integrated-developer-tools ) because too many people were falling for a scam that involved them running arbitrary javascript on their logged in account (this effectively gives your account away).

That particular piece of Javascript (from 4+ years ago) no longer works (at least not in Chrome), but if you poke around the explanation link, you can probably fix it.

Quote:

$=[$=[]]
-> [Array[0]]
(__ = !$ + $)
-> "falsefunction $(selector, [startNode]) { [Command Line API] }"

This now behaves differently, but you also get a lot more different characters from a string then just "false".

Previously they were coding only with letters from "false", "true", and "object".

Opening developer tools is usually F12 on any browser. The console should be somewhere in there. If not, it'll be somewhere in the menu.
