  • Whats the worst book anyone has ever recommended you?

    Jump

  • I read Dune in a book club, and honestly for the majority in the club even the first book was near incomprehensible. The group absolutely hated not understanding any of the nomenclature it throws at you from the start, and there's was a lot of discussion that started "stick with it you'll get used to it."

    I fucking love dune but took a few attempts to buy in and get through it. Glad I did though.

  • The first two books are definitely geared towards kids/preteens. I was obsessed with the first book when I was young, getting an owl and being whisked off to fairytale land, so much fun. By the time the series is rounding out azkaban going into goblet of fire, it begins to present more mature and relatable themes that resonated more re-reading as a late teen.

  • Trained dev with a decade of professional experience, humans routinely fail to get me workable specs without hours of back and forth discussion. I'd say a solid 25% of my work week is spent understanding what the stakeholders are asking for and how to contort the requirements to fit into the system.

    If these humans can't be explict enough with me, a living thinking human that understands my architecture better than any LLM, what chance does an LLM have at interpreting them?

  • No snap, no healthcare vote. Keep capitulating to fascists, democrats, it's worked so well.

  • Aw really wholesome actually. Some libraries in my area have senior friendly editing classes, I think it's becoming more popular. Good looking out for them!

  • Why do people do stuff like this, is the logic not difficult enough to follow on it's own without a secondary definition table to consult!? Fucking hell.

  • The secrets themselves were basically guids, they had quite a lot of characters. If sent MORE than 1 character, pretty low chance they would clash. But those long guids also covered a lot of letters and number - it wasn't terribly difficult to find one single character that cleared authorization reliably.

    And maybe you're joking lol, but multitenant meaning multiple businesses/customers using the same application stored in the same database. If Bob's construction wanted to spy on Jim's contracting, they'd just need to know the right header to send and could get whatever they wanted from the other customer partitions. User access should of course be limited to their own assigned partitions.

    Jump

  • I've had legacy systems that would encrypt user passwords, but also save the password confirmation field in plain text. There was a multitenent application that would allow front end clients to query across any table for any tenant, if you knew how to change a header. Oh and an API I discovered that would validate using "contains" for a pre-shared secret key. Basically if the secret key was "azh+37ukg", you could send any single individual character like "z" and it would accept the request.

    Shits focked out here, mate.

  • I'll just mention pilot, flying J, loves, the bigger interstate travel center stations tend to hold larger amounts because their systems cover for semi trucks filling up. I never had a hold that large from a neighborhood gas station.
