Can some nerd tell me what the rightmost two on the bottom row are?

Edit: Didn’t notice how old this post was.

Second last on bottom row is swift use to build mac or ios software.

huaris, in The classic font size exploit

These services empower you to quickly recognize fonts you might want to license or download for free. Once identified, you can visit font platforms like font script to acquire the fonts.

magnus, in Guthib

What, no websocket-based realtime statistics for number of total, daily and hourly mistypings?

kromem, in The Perfect Solution

Inefficient solution.

You should simplify it to just ask the model if the last bit of the binary representation of the integer is a 1 or a 0.

Natanael,

They don’t process inputs as binary (they use clusters of symbols, i.e. letter groups) so that’s not guaranteed to work

kromem,

r/woosh

Natanael,

I did realize that too was a joke, still wanted to point that out

kromem,

Well, in the sake of pointing things out, GPT-4 can actually correctly answer the prompt, because it arrives at it in the opposite direction. It can tell the integer is even or odd and knows that even or odd integers in binary end in 0 or 1 respectively.

AeonFelis,

You can ask it if the last digit is odd or even, then.

I also like the sl command for linux: github.com/mtoyoda/sl

The animation takes ages and you can’t cancel it XD

IIRC the train travels at a constant speed so you can make it faster by resizing your terminal so it’s narrower. Thus the train has a shorter distance to travel and the animation length is reduced.

abbadon420,

the best part is the version with the flags -al

you can actuall stop it by pressing ctrl-z and running bg

joyjoy,

The average bash user doesn’t know how to do that.

docAvid,

And it has a whole set of options based on common ls options. Classic and brilliant.

snrkl, in Every goddamn time

FWIW, Little known fact: Matrix 2 used real vuln (SSH CRC32) for trinity power grid hacking scene.

Even better to know: the scene was completed before the CRC32 vuln was public. So the scene used real 0day vuln…

peopleproblems, in The Perfect Solution

oh Jesus

did this come full circle?

we used python to query chatgpt to decide if a number is even or odd and return true or false?

Ephera,

True or false or null.

Mathematicians didn’t know it yet, but numbers can now be even, odd or neither.

dan,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

True or false or null.

Ah, yes, a three-state boolean.

lars,
Natanael,

Non integers certainly aren’t even or odd, so yes?

Ephera,

Yeah, I’m chalking that up to Python’s untypedness. I was going to write “integers”, but technically that function takes a “num”, whatever that is.

For all we know, it could be a string, asking ChatGPT to hack the government. Is that even? Probably no. Or None. Or T-Rex. Without reading the entire function, we don’t know that it’s not returning T-Rex.

Thankfully, it doesn’t matter. Just stick the result into an if-else, then False and None will land you in the else-branch. And both True and our Truthiness-Rex will land you in the if-branch. Just as Guido intended.

…this rant brought to you by trauma.

What about DJ Qualls in “The Core”?

While being interrogated in his introduction sequence, he casually folds an aluminum chewing gum wrapper, puts it to his lips and kinda whistles with it for a second, while holding a cell phone in front of his mouth. After this little public display of phreaking, he hands the cell phone over to the hero and says “Here… now you can call anywhere free for life with it”.

For how much fun NCIS was to watch it also was such a groan whenever the “code” sequences came up

Mongostein,

Need to look busy at work? Ping -i.2 <your IP address> will repeatedly ping your own router. Tell your boss it’s running a diagnostic or something.

Rosco, in The Perfect Solution

Probably not a good idea to show your API key to everyone…

worldsayshi,

Yeah encrypt it or at least put on a nsfw tag or something. Gosh. People flaunt their privates like it’s Onlyfans.

Rosco,

Or at least use an environment variable, it’s not a good practice to have it written in plaintext in your code.

voracitude,

What do you mean? I just see asterisks.

assembly,

Same here. I’m pasting my password here and it will encrypt it so no one can see it other than me: *******

jjjalljs,

I understood that reference

thanks_shakey_snake,

Oh cool it works for my password, too.

mrsgreenpotato,

How do you know it’s your password if all you see is astrisks?

TIL Python dictionaries allow trailing commas.

GBU_28,

List

dalegribble,

While there are not actually any trailing commas in the dictionaries present and you are correct to say the ones present are part of a list, you can also have trailing commas in Python dictionaries. OP might have researched “Python trailing commas” and learned that part.

Trailing commas are fantastic to reduce changed lines in git diffs. Makes life much better. Same thing with leading commas in SQL queries.

GBU_28,

Yeh

Ephera,

Yeah, I think, that’s only really JSON which is so pedantic about it…

owenfromcanada,
@owenfromcanada@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah…

sweats nervously in C

rimjob_rainer, (edited ) in The Perfect Solution

yes of no

Not even valid json but compiler doesn’t complain

GBU_28,

What json

pennomi,

Not sure what you mean, there’s no json in this code, it’s all valid (if a little ugly) Python.

rimjob_rainer,

So what does the f do?

jalda,

It is a f-string

rimjob_rainer,

Python is crazy

NikkiDimes,

Looks pretty much the same as a template string in Javascript, an arguably crazier language.

The main reason I never got into Slow Horses was its utterly ridiculous stereotype of the “computer boffin”. It was so cack-handed it was almost hard to believe.
