Kind of want to see a texting app implement syntax highlighting. Hmm 🤔

A war is coming... Prepare your army.

Fuckkkk. Stuck between the Thinkpad T470p or the XPS 15 9560.

The bugs will never see what's coming. 😋

Any ideas for finding a good mentor in something security related? (Very broad I know)

Fucking job recruiters or whoever the fuck.

If the first line on my resume is under "Objective" and it states, "To obtain a job, internship, or Co-op in the field of Networking, Cybersecurity, or Administration." You can clearly see the world sales and customer service are not in there.
If you take 5 seconds to read that or search for the words customer service or sales YOU WON'T FUCKING FIND ANYTHING​.
SO WHY THE FLYING FUCK DO YOU CUMBUCKET FILLED PIECES OF SHIT KEEP OFFERING SALES AND CUSTOMER JOBS TO ME.
I even got a senior sales position before. :|
Yet I can't even get a call back from an internship that's related to what I want to do lol. Smh.

Two more added to the list :)

Guys guys guys!!!!!!! And girls!!!
Not only did I recently obtain 2 certifications the past two or three weeks, but a company called me back to see if I was still interested in an internship that I applied for a month ago!! I sent her an updated resume and she's sending it to the IS (information systems) guy (only one for the branch in my city) and if he likes what he'll see they'll call me back 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄.
I'm so stoked because I started this bullshit job at Dave and Buster's and it's not even really technical. I started like two weeks ago but I don't give a fuck, if I can find a better opportunity elsewhere, I'm taking it. Even if it's an internship.
Only thing is, if they want me to start as soon as possible then I'll want to, but wouldn't it be best to do a two week notice for D&D?

You know one of the things I love about this community is?
We have such a diverse group of people and even when those who don't speak English natively, they try to on the app as much as possible keeping it consistent. Even when they make some mistakes, no one's a dick about it (from what I've seen), which is awesome!

"What language should I learn?" Wellll.

43 PERCENT Of banking systems are built on COBOL

80 PERCENT Of in-person transactions use COBOL

95 PERCENT Of ATM swipes rely on COBOL code

220 BILLION Lines of COBOL in use today

"Experienced COBOL programmers can earn more than $100 an hour when they get called in to patch up glitches, rewrite coding manuals or make new systems work with old." [1]

Found this pretty interesting/crazy.

What?

Saw this on a slide in class. Thought you guys might have a laugh.

"We can try, but it'll be hard. They encrypted their IP."
Probably the most used line.

Clicks "Exploitation and Enumeration" category.
Clicks "Python (HARD)" challenge.

"What is a key that passes the code?"

Opens Python file and sees one line of nested lambda expressions spanning 1,846 characters (no spaces)

The Collab idea sounds awesome! Can't wait to see it implemented.

Is there a notification that someone has your post as a favorite?
Just thought about that when I went back to my favorites.

# Showing code so everyone knows it's the same code/file being executed.

Interesting in the difference of the time it takes.

Uhhh.😓

Having an idea of an awesome application that you're sure you and a lot of people will use but not knowing how to code it 😭.
I think I might try and tackle it when this semester ends.

First time working with 2-D arrays. Think I did good :).

When white space isn't that significant.

disc=b*b-4*a*c;if(disc<0){
num_sol=0;}else{t0=-b/a;if(
disc==0){num_sol=1;sol0=t0/2
;}else{num_sol=2;t1=sqrt(disc/a;
sol0=(t0+t1)/2;sol1=(t0-t1)/2;}}

216 lines of code later and I am finish 😄

Hi so I'm learning python in my spare time and I'm in a national competition. I've been told that programming is something my college has always lacked in and in the competition they fortunately use python throughout the problems. I have some example problems used in the last year competition (it was publicly released) and I'm going through them to get an idea of the problems we/I will face. Now I'm still learning python but I understand some of the code at hand. However I still need a little bit of help to understand some of it which will also help me get to a resolution.
Some of the questions I have are:
1. What exactly is the ordinal? I've done some research and I have a small idea but I couldn't find anything to really fill me in and explain how to use it, well in python at least. I saw an example for Pascal but that didn't do much.
2. What is the sys.argv? "The list if command line arguments passed to a python script". I'm not quite understanding that.
3. I know for is used for looping and I know an example say "for a in range(10):" but I'm not understanding the for c in password:
4. Where does the 1000 come from in the builder += 1000.
5. What does the 83 represent after ord(password[1])
6. I know the if statement is saying if this then do this so if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
It's saying call in the function main but where does the name and main come in that part?
Here is the image:

Thank you for your responses in advanced!
One person doesn't have to answer all. Time is precious I understand.

Time to learn some more python:)
