I’m still wondering if amazon plans to buy nextdoor and packaged it with their ring doorbell poo poo cause if you looked at the posts on nextdoor you’d think they’ve already partnered with them

I also work in a female dominated industry and it took me awhile to notice how sexist a lot of the men are. I started picking up on it with incidents like a co-worker (female) explaining to a consultant (male) that the idea they have, isn't going to work. The consultant just kept pushing it via email for around a month, until I jumped in and said the same thing as her. Then all of the sudden he magically understood.

I bet gbs would love to hear your stories about this

This is a cool article about different ways to fool answer validation in automated CS assignment grading: Smart like a fox: How clever students trick dumb automated programming assignment assessment systems.

There are a lot of fun techniques in there, but my favorite is that this code will result in a perfect grade on every assignment for the software tested:

Java code:
System.out.println("Grade :=>> 100");
System.exit(0);

funny story about my cs classes: i used to have a professor who insisted that students print out their code and turn it in instead of using the school's tool for digitally turning in stuff. my final project ended up being 20+ pages printed back and front

rumor was that he had stock in hp and all the school printers got their supplies from them

my thinking is he was looking for students doing this poo poo and was just good at working out execution paths in his head

it’s not just the connectivity. The network effects are obviously important but one of the real killers IMO is the complete lack of civil infrastructure/amenities.
No one making figgies in a midsize/large city is moving to a shithole with one chain restaurant, horrible schools with bullshit commutes and zero cultural activity.

yep, this is exactly why my hometown started really building up recently: many businesses were completely passing them up because the infrastructure/amenities were just complete poo poo. so now they threw in a transit center (first one in I think the entire state lmao) and encouraged a bunch of chain restaurants and hotels to build up there

the hacking software getting on my pc was definitely my fuckup, i was trying to get a clean version of a drmed video i owned from a really niche digital distributor that's shutting down. what i installed to attempt to circumvent it had the payload inside, and slipped past mse (i was running windows 7, although after the scare i reinstalled to the latest windows 10)

but it made me think how it easily could have been a browser payload or found some way of getting on innocuously

i didn't even know what happened until i checked my screen recording video and scrubbed around to see why my browser window was now suddenly open, seeing them enter my 1password successfully was quite scary

i'm lucky that i had an exact play-by-play of what they did on my pc so i knew who i had to reach out to

lol you fell for the video codec gambit

still lovely that happened to you though. i wonder if video evidence would help get those steam purchases reimbursed faster

do you nerds actually read the stuff in your spam folder?

related to that, i dunno if this is true but i feel like i just don't get a lot of spam email anymore. my serious business personal account has like 11 in it that haven't been auto-deleted yet, and half of them rn are from local oil change places that i actually did give my email to

e: what the hell is "sleigh"? the ghidra thing says it is a million+ lines of "java and sleigh code"

idk sometimes I read it cause I’m curious what spam looks like now

i contributed to the Democrats in the last election so now its chock full of scary trump news
