  • I’d bet it’s less simple input sanitizing and more 2 mistakes made separately because they don’t know any better.

    1. The input field converting everything to a string indiscriminately
    2. Because they did 1, converting everything back to the assumed type

    If the front end Dev makes the first mistake, null would be sent in the body as “null”. Then on the backend, somebody might even be binding the variables correctly, but before hand realizing they have to deal with the market and rather than just have a conversation undoes it in their own code.


  • Also, Pepsi Max is a zero calorie drink, so 1 a day is hardly a lot. Three artificial sweeteners aren’t the best for you, but OP shouldn’t feel like they are ruining their health on that.

    To this point, for me, it was all about the bubbles. So replacing with a seltzer water did wonders. Sometimes I still have a craving to pound bubbles real quick.

    Real talk, what is the real barrier to somebody creating a competing publishing firm for these things.

    I’m not a scientist, but I always hear about how expensive it is to either publish or get access to scientific papers without contacting the author directly. Why does that reputation exist? Why does it seem like the scientific community is so dependent on stuff like this?


  • “After our District officials shared public statements, we learned that the agents who visited the school were from the U.S. Secret Service,” the spokesperson said. “Two individuals showed up at the school door and presented identification that includes the name Department of Homeland Security, the federal agency that oversees ICE. School officials proceeded to respond to the agents with the understanding that they were from ICE, amid rumors and reports that the agency was in the community.”

    It appears that the school officials assumed they were ICE. Everything else is awful about this but I’d ask that we be mad about the correct things. This does not appear to be a situation where the Secret Service attempted to mislead anybody. They didn’t identify which department of HS they were with, just that they were with HS.

    The fact that the Secret Service showed up to a school to go after a teenager for paying a video is terrible, though.


  • I’m not going to tell you you shouldn’t do that, I think everybody else has done enough telling others what to do. I’ll try to focus more on what you’d need to accomplish and why what you’re asking hasn’t been done.

    Building an OS involves a lot of complex work using very low level calls. The easiest way to think about it, IMO, is that whatever language you use needs to be able to communicate directly with the hardware without any abstraction between the code and the hardware after it’s compiled.

    Basic Python, out of the box, requires multiple levels of abstraction to run.

    (I’m simplifying here) You write code which is run through an interpreter. The interpreter is a compiled application that translates Python into code the operating system can understand. Then the operating system translates that to calls the hardware can understand.

    In that process, the python code is translated to byte code, assembly, and machine code. The Python virtual machine handles memory management for you. It also handles some processing concepts for you.

    You’d need to start by finding (or inventing) a solution that compiles Python to assembly without the need of an interpreter or OS in between you and the hardware. It’s worth noting here that Python itself isn’t even fully written in Python and is instead written largely in C because Python isn’t a compiled language. You’d then need to extend Python with the ability to completely manage memory and processor threads without the VM. You’d need to do that because that’s really the main purpose of an operating system.

    Something we learn in programming is choosing the right tool for the job. Python isn’t a great option for this type of project because the requirements just to get to where you can start are so high that it’s not really considered worth while. Is it possible, yes, in theory. But without the python interpreter and VM, you’d have to ask if you’re really developing Python or something else that just uses pythons syntax.



  • I think a lot of the confusion is that they were between takes.

    He was drawing the weapon and rehearsing what he was going to do as they were discussing the next take and she was watching him through the camera. But the shot they were going for was most definitely him pointing the gun at the camera. The AD, I believe, was the one that handed him the gun without verifying it was cleared.

    Baldwin is guilty of putting trust in the people around him doing their jobs correctly.


  • He was following the directions of the director and everybody involved, including the woman who died, agreed to do the scene. She wasn’t just some random person on set, she was behind the camera because she was the director of photography.

    If she didn’t feel the scene was safe to film, she had the right to say no to using a realistic prop. This is an obviously sad incident. But Manny people were found or pleaded guilty to the events. Baldwin just isn’t I’ve of them. Actors can’t be expected to be experts and have to defer to experts on set all the time.






  • Not sure if you’re suggesting that it’s a problem of knowing the language or sarcastically saying that Node.js allows for developers to not know what’s happening.

    On the case that you’re thinking it’s a knowledge of the language issue, that’s not what I’m getting at. Typically, what I see with full stack developers is an over reliance on frameworks to do the heavy lifting to the detriment is their skill sets. Often not knowing how to optimize DB queries or trouble shoot performance problems. This works fine in purely CRUD use cases, but falls apart when scaling using more complex patterns starts to occur. I’ve spoken with Sr and staff full stack developers that truly believe the only thing you need to do in order to scale a web app is add nodes.





  • Incomplete doesn’t mean invalid, though. I can say I didn’t enjoy the first half so much that I didn’t give the second half a chance. I will have enough information to explain why I didn’t enjoy the first half and my opinion of the movie is completely valid.

    I don’t have to continue to subject myself to something I don’t enjoy. I can explain what I don’t enjoy. People don’t need more than that to have a valid opinion of something. The only people I’d expect to have done more is somebody professionally critiquing movies.


  • Besides, if you haven’t finished a movie, you can’t claim to have a valid opinion of it.

    I’m sure you didn’t mean it to sound this way, but this kind of gate keeping sounds very elitist. I can have a valid opinion of a movie I didn’t finish.

    Usually, me not finishing it means that through the portion I watched I was disliking it so much I decided finishing it was a waste of my time. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. I don’t need to see the ending to know i didn’t enjoy the journey. The onus is on the creators of the movie to ensure I enjoy or am at least engaged throughout and I don’t, nor does anybody else, owe it to them to see though the time I’ve set aside to watch it. Especially if they could be bothered to hold up their side of the bargain.



  • I didn’t actually know about Dave the Driver being a big publisher until just now. I felt that game was kinda under-developed for how hyper it was and now I’m even more disappointed.

    It only has like 6 major areas and the levels didn’t have that much variety. Plus the side content is fairly under polished. I enjoyed it for the first 60ish percent but was kinda forcing myself to finish it by the end.
