L4D2 - it upset me that the disc just had an install of Steam and I would have to download it.

I really miss when buying PC games was fun.

Can you not just encrypt the database instead of encrypting specific fields?

Your dentist should be able to submit a claim estimate and you’ll find out how much is covered before committing to the procedure. Cumbersome and stupid, yes

I have no doubt it 10xs developers who could produce 0 code without it

I scored 17/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Idk anything about Date but got pretty far with intuition of JS whackiness

Students generally don’t have real-world problems that need solving. I think pretending they do makes a lot of assumptions about their life, hobbies, free time…

It’s much much much more important to have a co-op program. Everything practical I learned in university was through my co-op work terms.

I am responsible for hiring some devs right now, and there’s been a wide spectrum of competence from people who have “real projects”. Especially with how prevalent AI is, people can literally just talk to an AI agent and get some kind of app/website spun up with 0 skill and effort. What I am always looking for is people who can work on a team in an existing codebase.

One character equals one byte of memory so my guess is they only allocated 16 bytes of space for the password.

This is true for storing text in general but passwords aren’t supposed to be stored as text, they should be hashed. The size of the hash will depend on the hashing algorithm. In other words, if there’s a database limitation for the size of a password, it probably means they’re storing the password plaintext 💀

More likely than not it’s just some poorly designed validation

What time is it at Billy’s house? 12 o clock! 12 o clock!

If your company ever has >2 people, it will become a problem.

It’s 4 years too late.

You’re not wrong about Lemmy also being social media, but I view it as my methodone for Reddit. Long term I think I will get rid of Lemmy too.

I think Nvidia is poisoning the well with the $2000 rumours so that they’re the heroes when it releases at ~$1750

The collapse of X should’ve been the movement to get rid of social media, not replace it with another identical platform

second is he goes back to a baby memory and kills himself or his mom from the womb I think?

there’s also a cut scene earlier in the movie where the mom talks about having had multiple failed pregnancies before him

It’ll be interesting to see what China’s true emissions are, as opposed to their reported number, given how they just lie about every metric (covid deaths, poverty, etc)

It’s just flatout wrong to say it makes no sense because an acronym is pronounced as a word, not an abbreviation of its words. AIDS isn’t pronounced “awh-ids”, NASA isn’t pronounced “N-eh-sa”.

Monitor quality and calibration will always affect these sorts of things but your results are probably close enough to reality

This is strictly untrue for many climates. Where I live in Canada, 0F is average winter day, 100F is record-breaking “I might actually die” levels of heat.

-30C to 30C is not any more complicated or less intuitive than -22F to 86F

A degree Celsius is not coarse and does not require decimals in weather reports, and I suspect only a person who has never lived in a Celsius-using country could make such silly claims.

It’s a (small, shitty) subset of markdown. Slack formatting just kind of sucks.
