you can always fly to south of spain on the weekends

solid pollen
#

My bank account would fly out at the same time :)

undone berry
#

Does France not have much of a game dev scene?

solid pollen
#

In the south we don't have any big studios

rough sapphire
#

they pay shitloads in the UK atm because they have trouble retaining talent

solid pollen
#

We do have some small studios, but nothing really fancy

undone berry
#

they absolutely do not pay shitloads

#

at least not by standard

solid pollen
#

Well, at least I'm at 10 minutes of the 2nd biggest French city

rough sapphire
#

the only friends I have who chose to work in France were French.. I don't understand how people can choose to work when they can expect a strike every couple of weeks

undone berry
#

Its difficult to even find junior game dev positions

gusty oar
#

you can apply ubisoft

#

akarys

solid pollen
#

I morally can't

undone berry
#

Why are you determined to stay in the South of France? Family?

solid pollen
#

And weather yeah

gusty oar
#

I morally can't
@solid pollen wdym by morally

solid pollen
#

and we don't have two strikes a week haha

#

I mean, I really dislike the pay twice ubisoft policy

#

You need to pay for the game, then pay for being able to win the game

gusty oar
#

hmm but they are making games good novadays

#

ac odyssey was fun

undone berry
#

that's pretty much every AAA game publisher jamming that stuff though

gusty oar
#

they are getting better ๐Ÿ˜„

#

and they are not like EA . they listen players

solid pollen
#

I don't necessarily want to work on AAA games

#

An indie studio would be fine, as long as they're making cool games

#

Not rubbish mobile games

rough sapphire
#

@summer knot I was warned and my perms were taken away when i was asking about some code it considered it spam

solid pollen
#

Well, one of the rubbish mobile studio near me worked on remedy's quantum break, which is one of the 5 best games ever for me

#

But they have probably just did half of the third of a sequence

gusty oar
#

hmm maybe

#

make your own indie game

#

๐Ÿ˜„

solid pollen
#

Well, the formation cost a lot anyway, I can't afford it :(

#

Well, I'm planning to

gusty oar
#

i watch some devs on youtube

#

they go work

#

after work they making their game

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

hard schedule

#

and tight

plucky ridge
#

@rough sapphire Like the bot auto muted you for spam here in the server? It's possible it just gave you a message about formatting

#

I don't have anything in the system showing a mute or anything like that

rough sapphire
plucky ridge
#

Oh that, okay

#

We bounce invite links to any servers not on our whitelist

solid pollen
#

Well, I'm trying to get always more familiar with unreal engine on my free time, and I'll maybe try to sell some assets on the marketplace

rough sapphire
plucky ridge
#

Was it dormant at the time?

rough sapphire
#

Okay

gusty oar
#

why not unity . why unreal

#

unreal fees are high

#

if you sell your own game

#

unreal will take %5 of your winning

plucky ridge
#

Unless a channel is in Python Help: Occupied or Python Help: Available then you won't be able to talk in it. And you can only claim one channel at a time from Available. After your channel is closed in Occupied, there's a 15 minute cooldown until you can claim another one

#

So perhaps that was what was going on?

#

@gusty oar You might say that the fees are ..... Unreal

solid pollen
#

Only if you earn more than 3000$ per 3 months

#

That's pretty okay to me

plucky ridge
#

"Winnings" is probably the wrong word as well

#

Earnings

solid pollen
#

And they don't claim money if you publish on the EGS

gusty oar
#

epic game store ?

solid pollen
#

Yep

gusty oar
#

hm does there fee for epic publishing

#

like android 25 dollar

solid pollen
#

Yeah 12%

#

Gotta go to eat, cya guys

gusty oar
#

see you ๐Ÿ™‚

graceful basin
#

wow, hard leetcode problems are hard

sand goblet
#

hm, suddenly getting 401 Unauthorized on my bot login

#

I suppose this must be something to do with the new urls..

gusty oar
#

probably discord don't like your bot

sand goblet
#

That'd be weird considering I'm just running it from localhost here

#

and the token worked yesterday, although I've also tried a new one

stark prawn
#

discord seems shaky atm

sand goblet
#

Seems OK here aside from that

stark prawn
#

I've seen a couple duplicated messages.

sand goblet
#

ah, screw it, maybe it is just the api

#

I'm gonna take a shower then.

sand goblet
#

Still nowt, although they said they fixed things on twitter

rough sapphire
#

Can't have a downtime if they don't report it ๐Ÿค”

#

Everyone: "We're experiencing problems"
Discord: "Is it your network?"

sand goblet
#

haha

#

Oh, I see

#

So if I move to an older version of my bot, it's fine

#

so there's something really weird going on with this library's stuff

undone berry
#

Having done both Android/Kotlin and Python/Django a lot in the past few days - I have real love/hate feelings towards both static and dynamic typing. What I really want is Python's dynamic typing, but Pycharm to be a super genius and be able to refactor smartly

gusty oar
#

we should do arnold bot

#

talks like arnold schwarzenegger

graceful basin
#

@undone berry you can get that in languages with inferring type systems. See Haskell, elm, purescript, elixir as well I am pretty sure.

stark prawn
#

I do like that they added type inferrence to java.

undone berry
#

Well, those are just static languages still right?

#

Kotlin has type inference for the most part

graceful basin
#

Ye, but Haskell type inferrence is much more powerful. You can omit function argument types and it figures them out, you can ask it for a type of a generic expression, which type needs to be in an expression with type holes... Elm even lets you omit schema descriptions when dealing with JSON and such

gusty oar
#

can i do currency bot in discord

#

i mean bot should tell for example

#

4 euro to dollars

gusty oar
#

hmm how

undone berry
#

Find some API that gives you conversion rates - use that

sand goblet
#

Brains, man. Brains are odd.

#

Owl City never did a cover of Pink Cloud by Pegboard Nerds, but that's what the music in my dream was lol

#

hey guys there shouldnt be a problem with running python 3.7 code with python 3.8.2 right?

solid pollen
#

There could be

#

But in most cases it should be okay

dapper jasper
#

Are you running it by double clicking it?

yes

#

nvm i figured it out

#

its a problem with different versions

#

ok now how do i change my project to a newer version of python?

#

im using 3.7 and i need to change it to 3.8.2

soft violet
#

Unless you're doing a shebang of a specific python executable and unless you're taking advantage of 3.8.2-specific features...you probably don't need to do anything.

#

Does it run as expected in the newer?

dapper jasper
#

yea i thought so but im running my 3.7 project with 3.8.2 and it autocloases

#

well it runs with 3.7 but not 3.8.2

soft violet
#

It autowhat, pardon?

dapper jasper
#

it closes immediately

soft violet
#

Does it give an exception message?

dapper jasper
#

not through double clicking it

#

im trying to run it through the IDE but i dont know how to change the IDE python version

soft violet
#

Can you open up a terminal/prompt and run it that way?

dapper jasper
#

ah yes

soft violet
#

python3.8 script.py sort of thing

dapper jasper
#

ill try

#

dammit

#

i think i found the problem

soft violet
#

segfault or python exception?

dapper jasper
#

i cannot comprehend those words

soft violet
#

Well, what's the error?

dapper jasper
#

i entered a wrong file format

soft violet
#

Okay, but you've got it working, now?

dapper jasper
#

nope

#

what the heck

#

i renamed the file and entered the correct file format but it says pygame.error: Couldn't open wall.png

soft violet
#

I don't know what the hell you're doing in 3.7 that fizzles out in 3.8.

stark prawn
#

Do you have the correct path to the file?

dapper jasper
#

yes

soft violet
#

Is it a relative or an absolute path?

dapper jasper
#

its in the same folder

soft violet
#

But the path given.

#

Relative or absolute?

stark prawn
#

if you type dir does it show up?

dapper jasper
#

idk what those words mean

#

ill try dir

stark prawn
#

absolute paths start at C:\ or another drive letter, relative pats start at the current working directory.

dapper jasper
#

ok i guess its a relative path

#

@stark prawn type dir where?

stark prawn
#

where you are typing python3.8

dapper jasper
#

pycharm

#

oh wait no i need to change the version of python pycharm is using to run on first

soft violet
#

That's one step.

dapper jasper
#

wait how do i do that now

soft violet
#

Probably somewhere in pycharm, like a dropdown menu somewhere, maybe?

#

I don't use it.

dapper jasper
#

ok i found it

#

ok now how do i put the pygame module into my project

soft violet
#

Are you talking about import, or...?

dapper jasper
#

i need the module in the project to use import

#

im guessing thats what you meant

soft violet
#

I'm not sure what the best practice is with that and pycharm, if that's what's needed.

#

Me, I'd find where it was in the system and either link to it or just dump the thing into the project folder.

#

But that's probably not how you're supposed to do it.

dapper jasper
#

im gonna open the command prompt and cd into the file then lastly install pygame there

#

i hope it works

#

yEs

#

its finally works

#

thanks so much guys

soft violet
#

๐Ÿ™‚

#

God that's huge.

@rough sapphire

how many grains of sand before you have a beach?
this is pointless

i think it's more like, is the beach still a beach despite being able to be used in varying ways. let's say there's a volleyball match on a beach. does that make it a sand volleyball court and no longer a beach? i think the intuitive answer is that it's still classed as a beach, it's just being used in a different way. there's no way to escape the fact of its beachiness.

soft violet
#

I would say you could technically have a beach without any grains of sand.

#

You could have a beach of rocks that fit the sloping profile of a sand beach that then meets the water.

#

You'd still look at it and go "Oh, yeah. That's a beach."

#

"Fucking uncomfortable beach, but that's a beach."

vapid bluff
#

lmao

```that is not applicable here, these 2 snippets both use the same paradigms (be their name whatever), and yet one is in python, and one in C
vapid bluff
#

the difference is that in python all of the things youre doing involve objects

#

the code may look similar, that doesnt make the underlying execution similar

graceful basin
#

so you would say those 2 snippets use different programming paradigms?

vapid bluff
#

yes, by virtue of being python, the top snippet is object oriented

plucky ridge
#

I disagree, meta.

vapid bluff
#

(imo)

plucky ridge
#

The paradigms themselves are the same

vapid bluff
#

everything inside that procedure involves objects

graceful basin
#

what if I write a C interpreter in python

plucky ridge
#

Sure, at the underlying side

graceful basin
#

does that make that bottom snippet OO

plucky ridge
#

But nowhere in that does the fact that those are objects as opposed to primitaves does it mater

vapid bluff
#

that's such a specious argument

#

@graceful basin

#

you can say that you can implement any language and shutdown the discussion that way

graceful basin
#

well, I claim that paradigms are independent of implementation

plucky ridge
#

They are to a point

#

You CAN implement various paradigms into a given language

vapid bluff
#

it's like 'if i define + to be - then 1+1 is 0' youre sidestepping the entire discussion

plucky ridge
#

However a language will lean towards a specific one

#

And I'd argue that in most cases, it'd be identified as such

#

But it does come down to the code as written

#

I think the distinction really needs to be made at the level you're looking at

graceful basin
#

ye, some paradigms work better in some, and we generally categorize languages by which work well in a given language. That does not make any code written in a language of a certain paradigm

plucky ridge
#

Because meta is right in that it's all objects, so it could be seen as OOP. But lak is also correct in that it doesn't matter if they're objects or not in that instance

#

So you're both right, just about different aspects

vapid bluff
#

here we have a pure, referentially transparent C function

int thing(int x) {
  return x+1
}

is this C functional?

plucky ridge
#

It fits many paradigms

solid pollen
#

You just wrote functional code, that doesn't make the language functional

plucky ridge
#

It's hard to articulate what it specifically is when the code is at that small of a level

graceful basin
#

sure, that function is simple enough that you can have it in any paradigm.

solid pollen
#

A language can support many paradigms, but isn't one of them

plucky ridge
#

And it can also be implemented and compiled using one of those paradigms

#

And it doesn't have to be the same one that the code is written in

solid pollen
#

That's totally different

rough sapphire
#

that function... is it functional? hmm

plucky ridge
#

Right but that's how broad we're hitting with this

rough sapphire
#

maybe

solid pollen
#

The compiler is just a piece of code like any other

rough sapphire
#

I think no

plucky ridge
#

That's kind of where I'm getting at, we're looking extremely widely at this topic.

rough sapphire
#

well it is but

plucky ridge
#

If we want to reach any kind of consensus, we'd need to narrow the focus.

rough sapphire
#

I think the integer overflow makes it non-functional since that's not well-defined

vapid bluff
#

so to get this straight: because you can view code written in C as functional, then C can be considered a functional language?

#

am i getting that right?

#

that's what you're arguing?

solid pollen
#

It can support this paradigm, but it isn't this paradigm

graceful basin
#

well, what I am arguing is that despite C not being good at expressing FP, you can still do it

vapid bluff
#

i dont think anyone in the history of programming has considered C a functional language.

#

well, up til now

rough sapphire
#

well you can write a haskell compiler in C...

plucky ridge
#

From my understanding, when you hear a language being dictated as one thing or another, it's being called that because that's what it is best at or best known for

#

That's different

rough sapphire
#

so clearly that makes it functional...

graceful basin
#

C is not functional

plucky ridge
#

All that's doing is taking code and assigning the instructions

graceful basin
#

you can write functional code in it

plucky ridge
#

JavaScript as well is a good example of that

vapid bluff
#

then it can be considered functional

rough sapphire
#

well you can also write a javascript in it

plucky ridge
#

Not a functional language, but uses metric fucktons of functional stuff in it

solid pollen
#

Who cares about style anyway

rough sapphire
#

C > javascript, confirmed

plucky ridge
#

Well

#

Yes

rough sapphire
#

but we knew that all along so no big deal

graceful basin
#

well, if you use those adjectives like that, then every language capable of naming objects is of every paradigm

plucky ridge
#

Technically yes

#

But they won't necessarily be good at it

#

That's my point

#

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

#

that mentality

#

Although I feel like I'm making things more confusing and worse, apologies

topaz aurora
#

Imperative code can be written in Haskell, but that doesn't make it imperative per se.

plucky ridge
#

Precisely

dapper jasper
#

Although I feel like I'm making things more confusing and worse, apologies
dont worry i couldnt understand from the start

plucky ridge
#

HA

#

Fair enough

stark prawn
#

You can imitate classes pretty well in javascript for exampe.

plucky ridge
#

Well especially now

stark prawn
#

There's even syntactic sugar nowadays to simulate classes.

plucky ridge
#

Since they actually implemented it

#

Oh wait what?

stark prawn
#

It's still prototypes.

plucky ridge
#

I... legit thought it was like a - god damn it

rough sapphire
#

got bamboozled?

vapid bluff
#

disagree. as far as im concerned/aware there's no such thing as imperative code in haskell. anything that appears imperative is still functional underneath. implemented functionally and operates functionally too

plucky ridge
#

I still don't get prototypes

rough sapphire
#

@plucky ridgethey're just objects that also happen to give "inheritance" properties I think

vapid bluff
#

likewise, just because some c code lines up with some functional code, does not make the code functional. the meaning behind the code, as decided per the c specs, is still imperative. same goes for whatever other language. think about what the code means behind it all.

#

a series of steps changing program state

plucky ridge
#

Like singular objects with no base class?

vapid bluff
#

which clashes entirely with the functional paradigm

plucky ridge
#

See in my head that doesn't make sense

graceful basin
#

I mean, Haskell also gets compiled

rough sapphire
#

@plucky ridge changing the prototype object changes all the other objects derived from it, right?

#

so there's this "hivemind"

#

unless I'm remembering completely wrong

plucky ridge
#

Well great, now I'm just imagining bees crawling all over JS code

rough sapphire
#

๐Ÿป

stark prawn
#

I don't think changing the prototype changes all current instances.

#

But then agian I'm not 100% up to date on prototype based OOP

topaz aurora
#

which clashes entirely with the functional paradigm
FP is all about writing expressions used model a specific problem, but that doesn't mean the runtime must be strictly functional as well.

rough sapphire
#

well at least all the new objects created from the prototype should have the new prototype abilities?

vapid bluff
#

it goes beyond the runtime. the entire workings of c rely on a series of steps changing program state. you would have to rewrite the specs of the language to make it otherwise.

#

independent of the runtime.

topaz aurora
#

I don't think that paradigms go beyond runtime, given that code eventually just devolves into a series of steps that the computer should perform.

vapid bluff
#

of course haskell by necessity runs imperatively underneath. but the language itself, on top of that, has to be reasoned about in a different way (minus the imperative sugars).

rough sapphire
#

@vapid bluff they are both turing complete, correct?

#

do we agree

vapid bluff
#

if we're talking about languages in the abstract sense, purely in terms of being a language, then the runtime is a separate concern.

#

yes

#

@rough sapphire

#

well

rough sapphire
#

so what difference does it make between the languages on how the code gets compiled... because the operating system executes it within the full capabilities of what the language can actually produce?

vapid bluff
#

depends on who you ask maybe

#

i know there are some purists who might not consider haskell turing complete if you take out io capabilities

#

the difference is an academic one

rough sapphire
#

that sounds like ... non-sense

graceful basin
#

Rule101 is Turing complete

#

Brainfuck is Turing complete

vapid bluff
#

in reality of course if you boil things down to that level it doesnt matter

rough sapphire
#

the fact of the matter is that it kinda does matter

#

because that means that you can write a C compiler in haskell and you can write a haskell compiler in C

vapid bluff
#

that by itself doesnt mean we should consider C a functional language or Haskell a procedural language. this is sidestepping the discussion. you might as well not have any paradigms at all.

rough sapphire
#

but then you might as well have paradigms

#

since we can establish that the languages themselves don't have at the end of the day big differences

vapid bluff
#

on the level you're talking about, yes. but we're discussing the abstract differences. or at least i am. maybe we're talking across each other?

rough sapphire
#

the only thing I wanted to bring to this discussion was that the concepts of "functional", "imperative", "procedural" etc. terms are useful notions

#

and don't need to be analyzed to death

vapid bluff
#

dont let programming language theorists hear you say that

graceful basin
#

Saying a language is functional means it is good at expressing functional programming

rough sapphire
#

i think the technical definition for functional programming paradigm is that there is literally no state whatsoever. I'm not sure if it's the definition or the consequence.

topaz aurora
#

I mean, there is a way to represent state, but its more of an abstraction of a certain pattern

rough sapphire
#

can you give an example

topaz aurora
#

Let's say we're parsing something from a String, and typically in FP, that would mean writing a function that takes a String, and returns a tuple of the "result" of the parse, and the remaining parts of the string

#

In Haskell, that can expressed as parseSomething :: String -> (Result, String)

plucky ridge
#

I just realized that I might understand Haskell more now that I've gotten into and understood Elm

#

Neat

topaz aurora
#

But the problem arises from what if you wanted to parse the remaining parts of the string, that would mean unwrapping the tuple result as well

plucky ridge
#

It'd be pattern matching at that point, right?

topaz aurora
#

Yup

#

Something like

-- city: 'Manila' | rest: ': 35C'
(city, rest) = parseCity "Manila: 35C"
-- temp: '35C' | _: unused
(temp, _) = parseTemp rest
#

It's cumbersome, but it works

plucky ridge
#

It's efficient at least

topaz aurora
#

Explicitly passing the 'state' can be abstracted away though

#

That's dipping into the territory of monads though, but I'll try my best to make a concise generalization ๐Ÿ˜…

#

The strategy would then be to make some 'container' for the functions that follow the s -> (r, s) pattern

#

and to define an operation on those containers, that combines the notion of passing around s for you

vapid bluff
#

the way i had monads explained to me at the start was, theyre like conveyor belts for automatically passing state info from one 'step' to the next.

topaz aurora
#

Yeah, that's true for most monads

plucky ridge
#

Ohhhh right, now I remember what drove me away from Haskell and some of the others... the fact that there were some rather complex mathy sort of explanations I had to try and understand

#

Although it might have just been the one paper I read

topaz aurora
#

Category theory is used quite a lot

#

Honestly though, you could keep the theory right at the back of your mind and still be able to utilize monads and such in a practical sense.

rough sapphire
#

category theory is probably one of the best things you can do with your pants on

#

abstraction beyond abstraction. math at its finest.

plucky ridge
#

I'm used to the general s -> (r, s) patterns from Elm and Rust, thankfully, so that at least in general makes sense to me

#

And I think the issue was that the paper I read was heavy in the math jargon, so I got lost nearly instantly

wheat lynx
#

I've started learning rust as of yesterday and i'm loving it. The speed is amazing, I can brute force find the millionth prime number in about 10 seconds!

plucky ridge
#

And honestly the syntax just feels very clean

#

There doesn't feel like there's tons of bothersome boilerplate you have to contend with

#

Boilerplate is probably one of my biggest turnoffs when it comes to languages

rough sapphire
#

@wheat lynx is it faster than C++

graceful basin
#

Probably the same

wheat lynx
#

Apparently it can be sort of faster, but probably mostly the same yeah

graceful basin
#

Maybe faster as the type system gives more information about data flow, but C++ just gets that info by declaring things UB to an extent

wheat lynx
#

As I say I only started learning it yesterday so i'm not an expert, but I did read some article saying it could be faster under certain circumstances

low shadow
#

Is rust new language

graceful basin
#

It is quite new

low shadow
#

Oh

wheat lynx
#

Especially compared to something like C, yes

low shadow
#

Does it have buffer overflow vulnerability(s)

graceful basin
#

Pretty sure no

wheat lynx
#

Why am I not surprised that that is your first question

low shadow
#

Ok

#

Pretty sure no
@graceful basin

graceful basin
#

It is supposed to be memory safe

low shadow
#

Hmm

#

Even java doesn't have buffer overflow vulnerability

#

It would be so better if more language have these vulnerability

wheat lynx
#

Such a shame

#

I really do feel for you

rough sapphire
#

@low shadow you might be the one who will get me banned from this discord...

low shadow
#

Why

rough sapphire
#

because i will lose my temper

low shadow
#

Ok

rough sapphire
#

and then tell you things that will be seriously uncalled for

low shadow
#

Ok

graceful basin
#

Honestly, buffer overflows generally do not happen nowadays, most things that could are handled through libraries that do not

rough sapphire
#

@low shadow now do something useful and try to figure out a way to catch them before they happen

#

or minimize their effect

low shadow
#

Catch what?

rough sapphire
#

those errors

low shadow
#

Where is error

rough sapphire
#

the buffer overflow by definition is an error

low shadow
#

Oh

rough sapphire
#

that should not happen

#

@low shadow what is a buffer underflow

low shadow
#

What

#

!!!!!

rough sapphire
#

yes

#

what is a buffer underflow

low shadow
#

Does that thing exist

#

Underflow?

rough sapphire
#

that's something else but it exists yes

low shadow
#

I m thinking

#

How would be underflow like

rough sapphire
#

it has to do with buffers

low shadow
#

No idea

rough sapphire
#

but not in the same precise sense as overflow

#

go check wikipedia

low shadow
#

I assume it has something to do with some type of connection when less data is sent

rough sapphire
#

it was common when burning cd rom drives were new

#

but the principle sounds the same yes

#

one sec.

low shadow
#

Oh yes got it

#

Computer world is amazing

#

Always new to learn

rough sapphire
#

do you program in python

low shadow
#

Yes

#

Though it doesn't have any memory vuln๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

Cause it's high level๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

rough sapphire
#

is that true

What ? What's true

#

If u mean python programming yes that's true

#

I program sometimes

rough sapphire
#

no

#

i mean

#

python doesn't have memory vulnerabilities?

#

that you cannot work with memory?

low shadow
#

Yes

#

Or can I?

rough sapphire
#

maybe not as such

low shadow
#

Maybe cypthon gets to manage memory

plucky ridge
#

Why are you trying to look into memory exploits?

low shadow
#

Just learnt memory exploitation, still not pro but beginning, and liked it

#

Why are you trying to look into memory exploits?
@plucky ridge I liked it.

plucky ridge
#

Just like everything else that's exploity or hacky or what not, it's not a topic for discussion here

low shadow
#

Ok

plucky ridge
#

Unless it's in broad abstracts or what have you

#

But I'd personally rather we don't glorify that kind of stuff

low shadow
#

Ok

plucky ridge

I'm not trying to be a dick about it

rough sapphire

@low shadow if you want to know my opinion, what you're doing is rather childish.

Ok

#

trying to exploit things

low shadow
#

Is there something professional (ish) that I can do besides exploitation. I need to pass time and still learn(related to computer)

plucky ridge

You could help out on various repos on GitHub

rough sapphire

there are a billion things to learn

#

you can still learn about all these things

@plucky ridge that's like doing household chores, very boring

plucky ridge

That's what a coding job is

If you find it boring, then coding may not be for you

Yes I don't prefer coding much

#

Just when I need I code to do things anyhow

soft violet
#

Funny choice of company you keep in us, then.

plucky ridge
#

Sure. Understanding the hows and the whys of memory exploitation is a fair enough topic. It's still an interesting and worth while thing to learn. But it's when it goes into "lol imma gonna hack u" or bragging about exploiting shit, that's where it starts to irritate.

They're far more well known than just tiktok

What's machine learning is it part of data scientist

@low shadow have you tried

Still I don't like it

From name I get thats suck

rough sapphire

so we need to change the name

Don't change. I will be doing rather CTFs than machine learning

Its suited for me

its suited for me
Bullshit

CTFs?

low shadow

Yes

Bullshit
@plucky ridge bull's shit

rough sapphire

@low shadow I'm asking you; do you know what machine learning is

low shadow
#

No

plucky ridge
#

Bull. Shit. You're unwilling to learn the basics or learn/do regular code. You're not going to be amazing being in the "hacking jobs"

#

Also no one in their right mind who is doing a CTF is going to have Kali as their daily distro

#

@soft violet Capture the Flag

rough sapphire
#

what's wrong with kali? somebody fill me in

low shadow
#

How did Kali come in this talk

plucky ridge
#

Because it's the typical hacker tool thing.

sand goblet
#

Kali is what all the people that don't know what they're doing think is cool

plucky ridge
#

It's a status symbol among those who don't properly understand it

low shadow
#

I think it's cool but I can do CTFs with Ubuntu too

plucky ridge
#

I mention Kali since it goes hand in hand with the CTF topic

#

Sure, no doubt about that

#

You could do it in Unix if you wanted

low shadow
#

Since all soft come pre downloaded and installed

#

I keep kali

#

And why change now

Still about kali?

plucky ridge

It's also a giant target on your back

@low shadow have you heard of this guy named Donald Trump?

Yes

you remind me a bit of him

that and something else probably too.

Hi, I'm Todd Trumph

plucky ridge
#

Sorry for ranting, it's just the whole "hacker community" thing just eats at my nerves. Why is it considered cool to be a douche and break laws? That's what I don't get. Why do we idolize that?

low shadow
#

Hacker community is ok.

rough sapphire
#

i don't even know what the "hacker community" is

#

I know that the people who wrote cracks for copy protection systems were mostly doing it for honor\points with their peers

low shadow
#

I loved cracked apps

plucky ridge
#

Or to prove a point or because they don't want to pay or this reason or that reason

#

I'm too much of a friggin' paladin

rough sapphire
#

i think the biggest reason was just for the honor

#

they wanted to show their skillz

#

I heard that explanation too many times

plucky ridge
#

And also to implant malware into those crackers or cracked programs and exploit other systems

#

Seen that multiple times

rough sapphire
#

hmm

#

I didn't run into that often

sand goblet

It was relatively common

i'll say this. dude has really clean breadboard jumpers...

low shadow
#

What's breadboard jumper

plucky ridge
#

The point isn't whether or not Kali is the operating system of choice for hacky stuff, because it is. The point is that people who use it properly don't install it to their hard drive or use it as their daily system. That's the point I'm making

low shadow

I don't use Kali as daily os. I use window

By seeing the name, though I shouldn't laugh but still something comes from inside seeing those names

I cant control it

plucky ridge

... something comes from inside seeing those names
Is it love?

Probably love

This has been the most tedious day at work in a while. Clearing out some deleted items out of our database, and I have to do them in small batches at a time, like 5 or 6 files at a time, because it takes multiple minutes for it to remove them

I would murder more
@low shadow was meant to be a joke, seriously you thought I would do like that. Well who knows.

#

Maybe I will kill. Maybe not. No one seen the future

thorn snow

No finite system can be turing complete

low shadow
#

if two different domain point to same ip does that mean both domain are vhost,

sand goblet
#

Vhosts are an Apache httpd concept

#

Absolutely nothing to do with domain configuration

low shadow
#

oh

#

so in Apache httpd we need to add domains to /etc/hosts to get vhost right

sand goblet
#

No

low shadow
#

in some video they added pointing to same ip and got 2 diff website

sand goblet
#

The hosts file is for bypassing local DNS resolution using fixed addresses that don't have to match the public DNS records

low shadow
#

on same ip

sand goblet
#

Yeah, because the domain is part of the http request

#

You should probably be using nginx instead of Apache, it's far easier

low shadow
#

hmm

#

You should probably be using nginx instead of Apache, it's far easier
@sand goblet i use php -S 0.0.0.0:4444

sand goblet
#

That's not your httpd

low shadow
#

whats httpd

#

of mine

#

and whats httpd in general

sand goblet
#

And you should never serve a PHP app using the standard PHP daemon either

left jacinth
#

yaaay
I just finished my project
and everythink works perfectly
so satisfying

sand goblet
#

Well an httpd is a daemon designed to respond to http requests

#

Nginx or Apache for example

#

You're supposed to use one as a reverse proxy in between the internet and your application

low shadow
#

why isnt php server a httpd if it respond to http request

sand goblet
#

Because it can only serve one at a time

low shadow
#

ok

sand goblet
#

The standard way to do this is to configure nginx with php-fpm, and probably certbot for SSL

#

Digital Ocean probably has a guide for it

low shadow
#

I m not doing httpd things , i just wanted to get idea on vhost

sand goblet
#

You need an httpd to serve two websites on the same port

low shadow
#

vhost serve on same ip or same port

sand goblet
#

Well if it's the same port then it's also the same address

low shadow

That's port 80 for http and 443 for https

My dad is giving me a choice between a MacBook or a SurfacePro which one would be the better choice for programming?

sand goblet
#

The more powerful one.

#

But note that you'd have a hard time running Linux on a Surface Pro if you decided you needed it

undone berry
#

Honestly, I'd imagine if your only goal is programming - the Macbook would be better. Linux on a Surface is very difficult, and it's much nicer programming on something linuxy like MacOS than Windows

#

The OS is pretty nice to use - and for programming, specs aren't too important

sand goblet
#

I disagree that it's nicer objectively

#

But it is more linuxy, being a BSD

rough sapphire
#

Iโ€™m not really focused on Linux

#

And I already use a windows os

#

But I here so much different opinions XD

undone berry
#

If you're used to Windows and don't want to switch - then there's no reason to go for Mac

#

it's difficult to give advice without all the info upfront

rough sapphire
#

True

sand goblet
#

You can install windows on a Mac though

#

You can't do the reverse very easily

#

Bootcamp makes that pretty easy

Love Asian food though it depends on the cuisine
You won't really find spicy dishes in Japanese cuisine
Korean food (my favorite) tends to be pretty spicy
And Chinese is a mix of tastes
Filipino has a mix of Chinese, Spanish and other types of dishes

Iโ€™m probably gonna wait for the Surface Pro 8 to come out because MacBooks donโ€™t really continue and Iโ€™ll choose from there

because MacBooks donโ€™t really continue

But it's mostly Chinese

Chinese restaurants everywhere here

I prefer Japanese and Thai

@undone berry but Iโ€™m in 8th grade rn

@charred socket itโ€™s not a bad start, most people only know Barcelona or Real Madrid only XD

#

Speaking of football imma play FIFA rn

#

America in general is a pretty English place. Most of values touted as American values, particularly from the early colonial era, are all actually English ideas. Sure there's been a fair amount of room to grow in different directions but...overall...

#

That's sort of what it is.

#

That might be an unfair reduction based on the original founding idea coming from what were English people, but nevertheless, if you look at our countries side by side, the differences are negligible compared to how much we have in common.

you probably end up breaking the system

Most probably haha

you would need to make it have it's own eco system, as in, ignore the system around it and only manage the portion it is supposed to handle

but at that point you can probably write your own package manager

which package manager should be installed to linux system having no package manager

depends entirely on the system

why do you want to install a package manager for protostar...

it is with some black magic fuckery but not really worth it

People who want an easy to pick up jack of all trades hobbyist language

#

special elements

undone berry
#

Like what?

jovial blaze
#

we'll say

#

well, let me open something

#

i'll point it out

rough sapphire
#

i think my favorite thing i discovered in javascript was that you can't call a function inside a dictionary[key]

#

or something like that

undone berry
#

JS doesn't really have dicts in the same way python does

rough sapphire
#

well it does have JSON objects

jovial blaze
#

= function() just has never sat very well with me

#

=> is kinda similar to c++

undone berry
#

Anonymous functions are in a lot of languages - that's just you donig it poorly

jovial blaze
#

but I'm not sure why they wouldn't have kept it similar

#

i know they exist but the implementation just feels ick

#

and if you don't mind

#

bc no i'm not super experienced with js

#

show me a better way to implement them

undone berry
#
global.CreateCooldownName = () => {
 //code here
}```
jovial blaze
#

that's still pretty icky

undone berry
#

Not really - don't use anonymous functions if you don't like that

jovial blaze
#

fair ig

#

lol

graceful basin
#

I like the modern JS syntax

undone berry
#

Yeah, I really like idiomatic JS

graceful basin
#

the problem is hunting errors

#

any and undefined propagation is a pain

undone berry
#

Honestly, I find it no worse in JS than in Python

graceful basin
#

Python generally errors eagerly

rough sapphire
#

charlie poops did you download my files

#

or do I have to do it myself

undone berry
#

uh - slightly no

graceful basin
#

if you have something like a.b + c.d and get undefined there, you do not know where undefined came from

rough sapphire
#

so slightly yes?

graceful basin
#

java has a similar problem

undone berry
#

if you don't have premium anymore, I can give you my login

rough sapphire
#

I think i do

undone berry
#

Well - just no really

rough sapphire
#

i'll think about it tomorrow

#

i've just been banging on this kaggle competition for like this whole week now so i haven't felt like

#

writing that code

#

what kaggle competition

#

walmart stuff

rough sapphire
#

is it a live public one

#

yes

#

do you have a team.. do you want help?

#

at this point no

#

just messing around

#

trying to learn as much as i can

rough sapphire
#

I'm kind of disturbed by someones really mean comment to a newb in another community.

#

The guy asks for a book about algos and this is what someone responds with

#
Honestly, how do you expect to understand how to program if you don't know what an algorithm is? It's simply the logic behind a solution. Like doing long division when you were in the fifth grade. Or do they not teach that anymore?
#

It kind of makes me want to throw up that that could be anyones response to someone asking for a book.

civic mantle
#

that's like saying "how do you expect to learn a language if you don't know what grammar is"

#

kinda doesn't make sense since we all started there

blissful moth
#

that's harsh as frick

#

what discord was that?

rough sapphire
#

Yeah. Its not a discord. Its a facebook group, which is why its so awful. I should delete all these groups. TBH, I understand why the people in here are frustrated with the communities. They are poorly moderated.

civic mantle
#

i'd just roast the dude for only learning long division in 5th grade because that's the kind of person i am

rough sapphire
#

But jesus, it doesnt call for being mean like that

#

lol facebook

#

yeah, its shameful to admit, but I get drawn back on to it no less than six months after I close it. I use it for a few weeks, catch up with someone Inteded to find and talk to, and then try to close it again. In no more than six months I'm back on there again. I'm one of the people this site has manipulated into not being able to get away from it despite trying to.

#

As soon as something feels missing in my social life, I'll be back on there, no matter how well Ive been doing without it up until that point.

#

Ive considered dumping offensive material until they ban me to be honest, because then it woulndt be a matter of my willpower anymore.

#

I couldn't get back on there if I wanted to

#

they disable every account I make and ask for an ID to "appeal", which.. they can fuck off with

blissful moth
#

wait why not leave the groups

rough sapphire
#

Right. Actually, the funny thing about that... Is I once tried to change my name to my real name.

#

And they told me, "We dont think is is your real name, can you show us an ID?"

#

And I was like, "Uhh, nervermind, I guess Ill keep the fake name."

#

"holiday fartcruise" it is, then

#

But yeah, I used it for many years until I developed the opinion that I hate it.

#

But there are connections to people on here that draw me back. The lull of someone new to talk to in my real life.

civic mantle
#

fomo

rough sapphire
#

Its an addiction. They control a piece of me that feels empty socially on occasion.

#

Its not everyday, I can close it and go months happy to not be using it,.

#

But the day that comes where something is empty in my life, I will be back on there.

sand goblet
#

I have two accounts

rough sapphire
#

Its sickening to admit being the sort of person I am who hates them so much.

sand goblet
#

My personal one that I hardly use

civic mantle
#

pretty sure that's fomo

sand goblet
#

And the one I use at work because I didn't trust their laptop

#

It's called Celia Weiss and exists to manage the page for the place I work

#

Haha

rough sapphire
#

I dont call it fomo. Fomo to be represents, the feeling of missing out of on something that is going on and needing to stay in the loop.

#

For me its just a feeling of loneliness that occasionally arises.

#

And yeah, I have at least three accounts. Several of them are for document tracing and just adding people to get more information about other people. Not that I use it for anything nefarious, its just a viable OSINT resource.

#

The other is my real one. I am selective about where and how I login to it and all that.

#

But I still feel ashamed that I use it at all ever.

civic mantle
#

i only have an account for stalking seeing information about people

rough sapphire
#

OSINT resource*

#

lol

civic mantle
#

lol

sand goblet
#

It's amusing because it is handy for info gathering

#

A lot of people I know post what they're up to there

#

But I do not

#

Tbh discord is a much better place to go to see what I've been up to

#

:>

rough sapphire
#

Same. I use it for messaging people. Havent posted a pic in forever. I never scroll the walls because i become disugsted with meme culture.

#

But I will be like, "I wonder what they are up to"

sand goblet
#

Yeah

rough sapphire
#

Im hungry af

sand goblet
#

Well now you know what to make then

granite plover
#

after i discovered that it could be bad

sand thicket
#

here

granite plover
#

i went talking to him

#

but he says it's alright

#

no problems will rise

sand thicket
#

then it's alright man

granite plover
#

i declared what entered my account and had no taxes to pay on it

#

but it was sad

sand thicket
#

why?

granite plover
#

the minimal wage in brazil is around 200 USD

#

i was earning 700 to 1000 USD montly

sand thicket
#

that was a better source of income, why did you come to web development?

#

if you don't mind me asking

granite plover
#

well, was not legal

sand thicket
#

right

granite plover
#

and i ever wanted to learn programming

#

and i'm really hyped about A.I

#

want to be around it when something big happens, you know

sand thicket
#

I don't like AI or big data stuff at all, it's just not my cup of tea, but if you were looking for career advice, there is a group here to ask that sort of advice.

#

some people are most experienced than me there

granite plover
#

i mean, i want to work with everything that pays me well
