That's so cool, but ~50% of folders are empty (?)

I feel you bro, I hate these kind of people too 🤦🏻‍♂️

Try some coding competions so that you have actual use cases for them. It's easier to grasp stuff if you have to implement them yourself in a situation where you actually need them.

Hey it's fine, I've been there too. I completed my 3 year degree in 9 fucking years due to depression, bad things happening in life and no time to study due to job.
I arrived at the point that I wanted to finally quit at 4 exams to the end. I couldn't take it anymore, courses were boring, exams were complicated, and there were a lot of things that I wanted to do instead of wasting time studying.
But I found a person who helped me go through that, and I realized that if I had quit so close to the end I would have surely regretted later.

And here I am now, my graduation is due in 10 days, and I'm happier than I could ever have been.
I know it's hard, especially if you don't like things you have to do. But you can make it! 5 exams are not that bad, you just have to pass one more and adrenaline will guide you through the others. Find someone to share the journey with so that you can strengthen each other.

You have it! Don't quit now!

I did once, and had the exciting idea to challenge my friends on who is the fastest to write a functional pong clone with Processing using only the mouse (no keyboard, no virtual keyboard either) and only cut/copy/paste allowed (even for single letters). I regret nothing ahah

@IntrusionCM of course it's obvious but they had an internal debate whether to keep the YYMM format when year 2020 comes since indeed 2004 and 2010 can be a bit misleading when used as version number. That's why they switched to 20H2 (and will keep going this way) instead of 2010 but don't know why they kept 2004 even though internally they called 20H1

@fraktalisman bad name choice indeed, internally it is called 20H1 don't know why they opted for 2004 for release, but I guess the figured it out since the next one they called 20H2 for release too

What contest? Reading the input is usually pretty straightforward and the format is clearly explained

@netikras the conditions in the if involve always the same variable, so they are mutually exclusive. Hence a switch statement would have been better.

But since conditions have all the same structure and the body contains just one and always the same function call with varying arguments a better approach would be to make a dictionary in the form dict = { key: value, ... } where keys are the strings compared to location.pathname and values are the strings used in the replace method and then just call:

window.location.replace(dict[location.pathname]);

Maybe he was confusing SHA with AES. Albeit very different I've heard quite a bunch of people confusing them already.

I have an almost full-time work, I study for a master degree in cs and I enjoy competitive programming. But to be honest, I'm not good at any of that, so maybe better stick with one thing at a time

Or <c0mp4ny n4m3>! or <Company name><year>!

These will cover ~80% of admin passwords out there

Guys this is Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader (which as the name implies is just the reader).

The full Acrobat software (which is not free btw) is a lot more than a simple pdf viewer, is the most comprehensive PDF manipulator available with lots of advanced functionality. If you don't need all of them just stick with Reader instead and stop complaining about its size

@Root you could use private network IPs which are leading to nowhere if used outside the network itself. Or they could have simply bought a public IP and hosted a tv show related website for fan service, that would have been way more fun to discover if one was curious enough to look it up

@rutee07 Exactly that, I'm constantly looking for errors or feeling cringy whenever they talk about tech stuff, eg when Tyrell meets for the first time Elliot and they have an awkward conversation about linux and gnome vs kde just because "we are hackers, the first thing we do when we first meet is compare our desktop environments".
Or when he destroys all his equipment in the microwave or drills holes his motherboard just because he has to remove all traces of a facebook hack, oh god that was hard to watch.
Or when inserting an IP in a .dat file is enough of an evidence to condemn a man for a DDoS attack (wtf?).
Or when Angela who should be an account executive for a cyber security company asks what is a rootkit (ok she is an executive, maybe that's not so strange).

It's just the first episode and I'm a little disappointed, but at the same time having been in that kind of depression myself I'm curious how that's gonna evolve, maybe I'll keep watching just for that

Also the new password being Z10N0101 is a really cool touch

@iiii if it's 10 years old maybe that is a SATA 2 HDD which could explain the 4x speed of the newer which is SATA 3. But is still slow compared to a 7200 rpm which I consider still too slow for an OS to be installed in it

It you're talking about late 2015 iMac the problem is non ram or cpu related. Is that fucking 1TB 5400 rpm hard drive. It so slow that installing the OS on an external drive actually makes the whole machine faster

The Borges one is great too 😁

@electrineer yes, the button itself has an hardware based "delay" of activation and is indipendent from the OS settings

Actually Asus addresses this by making the power button work only if pressed longer than you would do with a delete or end key. You would end up pressing it eventually, but in that case at least it won't activate unless you keep it pressed a little longer

Suppose you are using in assignment:

variable = 1 if condition else 2

instead of:

variable = condition ? 1 : 2

I mean, you can clearly see which one is better 🤷🏻‍♂️

How hard is to connect 2 pins and make a script to shutdown? Or to ssh into it and do that via console? I mean, is a power button already soldered so revolutionary?

Started out as an Electronic Engineer student in university modding guitar pedals, then I discovered FPGAs and wanted to go that way. While learning DSP, as a guitarist I was in love with audio processing so starter messing with Pure Data and then I discovered also video processing and in particular visual art, so started to learn programming with Processing and p5.js as an hobby. While doing that I decided to switch from electronic to Computer Engineering and learned C++ and Python with which I started competitive programming. While still studying I found a job as a helpdesk and found out I was pretty good at that, then replaced a tech guy who suddenly left his job and learned also about networking and IT systems so now I'm a Sysadmin and work in a computer repair shop part time while writing my thesis about LTE based Internet of Drones, but still thinking about DSP and guitar pedals as a career and enjoying computer generated art and competitive coding in my free time.

What a mess.

They were waiting for you

@M1sf3t well, he said it in Italian so it's not exactly connection and connect but was equally stupid

Looks so italian to me. Either you are italian or I just found another nation that can make italian spaghetti the right way. That's a very good looking dish 😍

@pxeger if you created an account just for this single comment... Well done man, welcome here

It's all a matter of familiarity. People associate the symbol of the globe with the internet (also on routers is like that). And chromium based edge is the successor of win 10 edge that meant to replace internet explorer so all of these logos are a stilized "e" to resemble a globe. So it's natural that all browsers use a circular or globe-like logo, that's what make people think it is something related to internet (with few exceptions).
