CodeSOD: Library CheckoutAlexander doesn't usually ask "why are you hiring for this position?" during an interview. But when a small public library is paying your rather high contracting rate, one can't help but wonder. Fortunately, the library offered their reasoning without Alexander asking: "We hired a new staff member, so we need a programmer to add them to our home page." Alexander assumed that he was dealing with a client who couldn't figure out how to navigate their CMS, and scheduled an afternoon to do the work. It turned out to be a bit more complicated. The site had an "email a staff member" form. Select a staffer from a drop down, type into a text box, and hit send. Not a single staff member had ever received an email through the interface, but they all agreed it was a go ...Thu, 03 Oct 2024 06:30:00 GMT

CodeSOD: Feeling FreeJason started work on a C++ application doing quantitative work. The nature of the program involves allocating all sorts of blocks of memory, doing loads of complicated math, and then freeing them. Which means, there's code which looks like this: for( i = 0; i < 6; i++ ) { if( h->quant4_bias[i] ) free( h->quant4_bias[i] ); } This isn't terribly unusual code. I have quibbles- why the magic number 6, I'd prefer the comparison against nullptr to be explicit- but this isn't the kind of code that's going to leave anybody scratching their head. If h->quant4_bias[i] is pointing to actual memory, free it. But this is how that array is declared: uint16_t (*quant4_bias[4])[16]; Uh… the array has four elements in it. We free six elemen ...Tue, 01 Oct 2024 06:30:00 GMT

Nate, for example sent us this one. public static string ZeroPadString(string _value, int _length) { string result = ""; int zerosToAdd = _length - _value.length; I'm going to pause right here. Based on this, you likely think you know what's coming. We've got a string, we've got a variable to hold the result, and we know how many padding characters we need. Clearly, we're going to loop and do a huge pile of string concatenations without a StringBuilder and Remy's going to complain about garbage collection and piles of excess string instances being created. That's certainly what I expect. Let's see the whole function. ...Mon, 30 Sep 2024 06:30:00 GMT

CodeSOD: True ParseimonyWe've seen this pattern many times here: return (someCondition) ? true : false; or if (someCondition) { return true; } else { return false; } There are many variations on it, all of which highlight someone's misunderstanding of boolean expressions. Today Kerry sends us a "fun" little twist, in C#. return (someCondition || someOtherCondition) ? Boolean.Parse("true") : Boolean.Parse("false"); The conditions have been elided by Kerry, but they're long and complicated, rendering the statement less readable than it appears here.

Space for QueriesMaria was hired as a consultant by a large financial institution. The institution had a large pile of ETL scripts, reports, analytics dashboards, and the like, which needed to be supported. The challenge is that everyone who wasn't a developer had built the system. Due to the vagaries of internal billing, hiring IT staff to do the work would have put it under a charge code which would have drained the wrong budget, so they just did their best. The quality of the system wasn't particularly good, and it required a lot of manual support to actually ensure that it kept working. It was several hundred tables, with no referential integrity constraints on them, no validation rules, no concept of normalization (or de-normalization- it was strictly abnormalied tables ...Wed, 25 Sep 2024 06:30:00 GMT

CodeSOD: Secure CryptographyGovernments have a difficult relationship with cryptography. Certainly, they benefit from having secure, reliable and fast encryption. Arguably, their citizens also benefit- I would argue that being able to, say, handle online banking transactions securely is a net positive. But it creates a prisoner's dilemma: malicious individuals may conceal their activity behind encryption. From the perspective of a state authority, this is bad. Thus, you get the regular calls for a cryptosystem which allows secure communications but also allows the state to snoop on those messages. Of course, if you intentionally weaken a cryptographic system so that some people can bypass it, you've created a system which anyone can bypass. You can't have secure encryption which also a ...Tue, 24 Sep 2024 06:30:00 GMT

Tales from the Interview: Cleaning HouseCraig had been an IT manager at an immigration services company for several years, but was ready to move on. And for good reason- Craig had suffered his share of moronic helldesk nonsense and was ready to let someone else deal with it. This meant participating in interviews for his replacement. Craig had given a rather generous three months notice, and very quickly the remaining three months were taken up with interviewing possible replacements. Each interview followed the same basic pattern: Craig would greet the candidate, escort them down to the fish-bowl style conference room in the center of the office, where a panel of interviewers ran through a mix of behavioral and technical questions. The interviews were consistently disappointing, and so they'd mov ...Mon, 23 Sep 2024 06:30:00 GMT

CodeSOD: A Managed SessionSome time ago, Roald started an internship on a ASP .Net application. It didn't take long to find some "special" code. public string RetrieveSessionString(string sessionName) { try { return Session[sessionName].ToString(); } catch (NullReferenceException) { return null; } } The Session variable is a session object for this user session. Each request carries a token which allows us to pair a Session with a user, making a cross-request per-user global object. That is what it is- but it's weird that we call the parameter sessionName. Maybe that's just a bad parameter name- it might be better called sessionKey or something like that. Of course, the real issue here is it's null handling. Calling ToString on a key that doesn't exist throws ...Thu, 19 Sep 2024 06:30:00 GMT

CodeSOD: String in your ColonAnders sends us an example which isn't precisely a WTF. It's just C handling C strings.

So long as modPath is not null, we're going to search through the string. The string is in a : separated format, e.g., foo:bar:goo. We want to split it. This function does this by being very C about it. It uses strchr to find the address of the first colon. If we think about this in C strings, complete with null terminators, it looks something like this: "foo:bar:goo\0" ^ ...Wed, 18 Sep 2024 06:30:00 GMT

CodeSOD: A Clever BaseMark worked with the kind of programmer who understood the nuances and flexibility of PHP on a level like none other. This programmer also wanted to use all of those features. This resulted in the Base class, from which all other classes descend. Mark, for example, was trying to understand how the status field on a Widget got set. So, he pulled up the Widget code: class Widget extends Base { public function getOtherWidgets(){return $this->widgetPart->otherWidgets;} public function getStatus(){ $this->otherWidgets; if(isset($this->status))return $this->status; } } So, getStatus doesn't always return a value. That's fun, but I guess it doesn't return a value when $this->status doesn't have a value, we can let that slide. The ...Mon, 16 Sep 2024 06:30:00 GMT

New JWST Data Explores 'Hubble Constant' Tension for Universe's Expansion Rate"Scientists can't agree on the exact rate of expansion of the universe, dictated by the Hubble constant," a new article at Space.com reminds us: The rate can be measured starting from the local (and therefore recent) universe, then going farther back in time — or, it can be calculated starting from the distant (and therefore early) universe, then working your way up. The issue is both methods deliver values that don't agree with each other. This is where the James Web Space Telescope (JWST) comes in. Gravitationally lensed supernovas in the early cosmos the JWST is observing could provide a third way of measuring the rate, potentially helping resolve this "Hubble trouble." "The supernova was named 'supernova Hope' since it gives astronomers hope to be ...2024-10-06T16:34:00+00:00

Google Starts Adding Anti-Theft Locking Features to Android PhonesAn anonymous reader shared this report from Engadget: Three new theft protection features that Google announced earlier this year have reportedly started rolling out on Android. The tools — Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock and Remote Lock — are aimed at giving users a way to quickly lock down their devices if they've been swiped, so thieves can't access any sensitive information. Android reporter Mishaal Rahman shared on social media that the first two tools had popped up on a Xiaomi 14T Pro, and said some Pixel users have started seeing Remote Lock. Theft Detection Lock is triggered by the literal act of snatching. The company said in May that the feature "uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and trie ...2024-10-06T15:34:00+00:00

Hobbyist Builds a Modern System That Still Runs MS-DOSHe's the long-time Slashdot reader who installed Linux on a 1993 PC — and then installed a 1994 version of MS-DOS on a modern Thinkpad X13. (And somewhere along the way, he even built a ChatGPT client for DOS...) But in a new blog post, yeokm1 reveals "I recently built myself a PC," salvaging parts from a previous desktop system to bootstrap an upgrade. And "I decided to build one with the ability to still reach back into the past to run MS-DOS..." The result? A Ryzen 5 7600 and GeForce 4060 Ti system, but with a floppy drive, optical drive, Sound Blaster card, serial, parallel and PS/2 ports — that runs MS-DOS. The fact that a 30-year-old MS-DOS 6.22 can still work well enough on such a modern hardware is testament to the efforts made by the ...2024-10-06T14:34:00+00:00

Brazil's Top Court Says X Paid Pending Fines to Wrong BankAn anonymous reader shared this report from Reuters: Brazil's Supreme Court said on Friday that lawyers representing social media platform X did not pay pending fines to the proper bank, postponing its decision on whether to allow the tech firm to resume services in Brazil. The payment of the fines, which X lawyers argued that the company had paid correctly, is the only outstanding measure demanded by the court in order to authorize X to operate again in Brazil... Earlier on Friday, X, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, filed a fresh request to have its services restored in Brazil, saying it had paid all pending fines. In response to the request, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes requested the payment to be transferred to the right bank. He also dete ...2024-10-06T10:46:00+00:00

China Trained a 1-Trillion-Parameter LLM Using Only Domestic Chips"China Telecom, one of the largest wireless carriers in mainland China, says that it has developed two large language models (LLMs) relying solely on domestically manufactured AI chips..." reports Tom's Hardware. "If the information is accurate, this is a crucial milestone in China's attempt at becoming independent of other countries for its semiconductor needs, especially as the U.S. is increasingly tightening and banning the supply of the latest, highest-end chips for Beijing in the U.S.-China chip war." Huawei, which has mostly been banned from the U.S. and other allied countries, is one of the leaders in China's local chip industry... If China Telecom's LLMs were indeed fully trained using Huawei chips alone, then this would be a massive success for Hua ...2024-10-06T06:34:00+00:00

iOS and Android Security Scare: Two Apps Found Supporting 'Pig Butchering' Scheme"Pig Butchering Alert: Fraudulent Trading App targeted iOS and Android users."

"To complete the scam, the victim is asked to fund their account... After a few seemingly successful trades, the victim is persuaded to invest more and more money. The account balance appears to grow rapidly. However, when the victim attempts to withdraw funds, they are unable to do so." Forbes reports: Group-IB determined that the frauds would begin with a period of social engineering reconnaissance and entrapment, during which the trust of the potential victim w ...2024-10-06T02:32:00+00:00

License Plate Readers Are Creating a US-Wide Database of More Than Just CarsWired reports on "AI-powered cameras mounted on cars and trucks, initially designed to capture license plates, but which are now photographing political lawn signs outside private homes, individuals wearing T-shirts with text, and vehicles displaying pro-abortion bumper stickers — all while recordi00ng the precise locations of these observations..." The detailed photographs all surfaced in search results produced by the systems of DRN Data, a license-plate-recognition (LPR) company owned by Motorola Solutions. The LPR system can be used by private investigators, repossession agents, and insurance companies; a related Motorola business, called Vigilant, gives cops access to the same LPR data.

How Mossad Planned Its Exploding Pager Operation: Inside Israel's Penetration of HezbollahThe Washington Post interviewed Lebanese officials, people close to Hezbollah, and Israeli, Arab and U.S. security officials and politicians about a years-long plan (originated at Mossad headquarters) that ultimately killed or maimed "as many as 3,000 Hezbollah officers and members — most of them rear-echelon figures... along with an unknown number of civilians... when Israel's Mossad intelligence service triggered the devices remotely on September 17." In the initial sales pitch to Hezbollah two years ago, the new line of Apollo pagers seemed precisely suited to the needs of a militia group with a sprawling network of fighters and a hard-earned reputation for paranoia... Best of all, there was no risk that the pagers could ever be tracked by Israel's ...2024-10-05T22:59:00+00:00

U.S. Wiretap Systems Targeted in China-Linked Hack"A cyberattack tied to the Chinese government penetrated the networks of a swath of U.S. broadband providers," reports the Wall Street Journal, "potentially accessing information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests. "For months or longer, the hackers might have held access to network infrastructure used to cooperate with lawful U.S. requests for communications data, according to people familiar with the matter, which amounts to a major national security risk." The attackers also had access to other tranches of more generic internet traffic, they said.

Criminal Charges Announced Over Multi-Year Fraud Scheme in a Carbon Credits MarketThis week the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York unsealed charges over a "scheme to commit fraud" in carbon markets, which they say fraudulently netted one company "tens of millions of dollars" worth of credits — which led to "securing an investment of over $100 million." MarketWatch reports: Ken Newcombe had spent years building a program to distribute more environmentally friendly cookstoves for free to rural communities in Africa and Southeast Asia. The benefit for his company, C-Quest Capital, would be the carbon credits it would receive in exchange for reducing the amount of fuel people burned in order to cook food — credits the company could then sell for a profit to big oil companies like BP.

Plastic-Eating Bacteria Could Combat Pollution Problems, Scientists HopeThe Washington Post on scientists who "discovered that bacteria commonly found in wastewater can break down plastic to turn it into a food source, a finding that researchers hope could be a promising answer to combat one of Earth's major pollution problems."

PET makes up about 12 percent of global solid waste and 90 million tons of the plastic produced each year... Unlike most other bacteria, which thrive on sugar, C. testosteroni has a more refined palate, including chemically complex materi ...2024-10-05T18:34:00+00:00

Akamai Warns CUPS Vulnerability Also Brings New Threat of DDoS AttacksLast week the Register warned "If you're running the Unix printing system CUPS, with cups-browsed present and enabled, you may be vulnerable to attacks that could lead to your computer being commandeered over the network or internet." (Although the CEO of cybersecurity platform watchTowr told them "the vulnerability impacts less than a single-digit percentage of all deployed internet-facing Linux systems.") But Tuesday generic (Slashdot reader #14,144) shared this new warning from Akamai: Akamai researchers have confirmed a new attack vector using CUPS that could be leveraged to stage distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.

Will Hurricanes Prompt More Purchases of Electric Cars?Days after a hurricane struck America's southeast, Florida's state's fire marshall "confirmed 16 lithium-ion battery fires related to storm surge," according to local news reports.

(Earlier this year America's federal transportation safety agency estimated that after a 2022 hurricane "about 36 EVs caught on fire. In several instances, the fire erupted while the impacted EVs were being towed on their flatbed trailers.") But Tuesday, when over 1 million Americans were without electricity, the Atlantic pointed out the other side of the story. "EV owners are using their cars to keep the lights on."

I gave my friend pity sex. It backfiredHe(19) told me(18f) he is in love with me. I don't want to be in a relationship but he is adorable so I kissed him. One thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together. It was his first time. I just wanted to give him a good memory, one he can cherish and look back on fondly. He is cute but I did it mainly out of pity for him. But when I told him I don't want to date, he said I should have told him that before we had sex. He assumed that I reciprocate his feelings and wouldn't have had sex with me if he knew I don't reciprocate. He said now it's harder for him to move on after what we did. He's very upset about it.

AITA for refusing to cover my coworker’s shifts after she called me lazy for not having kids?I (28F) work full-time in retail, and as anyone who’s worked retail knows, it can be pretty exhausting. I’ve got a busy life outside of work, trying to balance my hobbies, taking care of my apartment, seeing friends, and just taking care of myself. You know, normal adult stuff. I don’t have kids, but that doesn’t mean I’m lounging around with endless free time. One of my coworkers, Sarah (32F), has two young kids. She’s always asking people to cover her shifts, which I understand because being a mom is hard and things come up. Over the past year, I’ve covered for her quite a few times when she had to leave early or couldn’t make it in because of some kid emergency. I did it out of kindness because I get that life can be unpredictable, and I wanted to help he ...2024-10-06T14:54:49+00:002024-10-06T14:54:49+00:00

The State of the Subreddit (May 2024)Hello fellow programs! tl;dr some revisions to the rules to reduce low quality blogspam.

A free and open source email editor and template builder.Demo: https://designer.sendune.com/ Code: https://github.com/SendWithSES/Drag-and-Drop-Email-Designer HTML for email is probably the hardest code to write. Even a teeny-tiny deviation from the rules will break the email in untold combination of os/desktop/mobile clients. It's mid 2024. Almost 50 years since email was invented and 35 years since HTML was born. A 'basic-open-source-HTML-email-designer' must be a solved problem, right? We thought so too. Sadly, that's not the case. There are a few decent open source email designers but they carry dependencies that make them cumbersome to embed within your app. That's why we decided to open source our HTML Email Designer. The SENDUNE email designer focuses on simplicity and ease of use. It is light-weight. It do ...2024-10-06T10:17:44+00:002024-10-06T10:17:44+00:00

Client here. Is mobile responsiveness considered a “goes-without-saying” requirement in the industry?For context: I have a contract with a web developer that doesn’t mention mobile responsiveness specifically so I’m wondering if that’s something I can reasonably expect of them under the contract. I never thought to ask about this at the time of contracting. I just assumed all web development work would be responsive across devices in 2024. Unfortunately, this web developer did not produce mobile responsive pages, and I am now left with the work to do on my own. I don’t know if I have the ability to enforce mobile responsiveness as an expectation under the terms of this contract. submitted by /u/moonbunny119 [link] [comments] ...2024-10-06T00:48:43+00:002024-10-06T00:48:43+00:00

Amewz.me - spontaneous 1 on 1 chats with AI matchmakingHey all, I made a website similar to Omegle, but it uses AI to match you with people similar to you. It first asks you a few questions, and then generates a bio about you. Then it uses your bio to match you with similar people into video or text chats. The idea is you’ll be able to match with people who have similar interests, hobbies, and personality. I would love to hear your feedback! submitted by /u/Critical_Passenger19 [link] [comments] ...2024-10-05T17:44:06+00:002024-10-05T17:44:06+00:00

Netflix is able to see if you are sharing your screen. How?I wanted to stream a scene from a netflix series. However I noticed that the moment, I started the screenshare using Discord, the screen got black. It seems like netflix is able to capture if there is an application capturing the screen. I am using Google Chrome and Discord is also a Chromium Application so they might share some kind of API. However I find it bit frightening what information they can read. How can you possibily detect screen shares? Do you have reference to which API they use?

Chrome doesn't format emojis that I put directly in the source code properly (they work just fine on Firefox)I made a JSON parser that rewrites the data as HTML. But this is a really big issue for me, as those emojis are part of the messages I'm trying to process. Example JSON dictionary: { "text": "😘", "data_id": "$2_z2MeAGig9AjgZznLyTACAzmo-vqF9G_OFUQqfyIig", "username": "**************", "datetime": "2024-08-23T13:35:30.840Z", "avatar": 0, "image_presence": 0, "image_link": "N/A", "image_alt": "N/A" } This emoji always fails to be processed by Chrome. This is the source code my parser generates: <div class=" room-message compact "> <div class="time-holder compact"> <time datetime='2024-0 ...2024-10-06T15:20:36+00:002024-10-06T15:20:36+00:00

Are JWT and bcrypt enough security for my deployed websites?So recently I deployed a password manager website using node.js for an additional showcase for my portfolio. Lately I've been using that website to store my real account passwords. For authentication/authorization, I just use JWT and bcrypt then applied it like how you'd see in a simple youtube tutorial. I also hashed the user passwords and encrypted the account passwords. So question is: Are those security measures safe enough for my use case? And is it safe enough for websites that doesn't store sensitive data? submitted by /u/smittywerbmanjensen [link] [comments] ...2024-10-06T06:10:08+00:002024-10-06T06:10:08+00:00

opinion on frontend templates? are they well viewed or not?I'm building a new static website for myself, but I wondered what the overall opinion was on templates. Is it well received? Is it criticized? I'm also using a free template that requires attribution because I have no money and need the development to be fast. I'm asking specifically for portfolio reasons. Since these templates require attribution, are recruiters or people in general going to think I'm not actually skilled? EDIT: What about using the templates for personal projects? Still would require attribution. Does using a template automatically mean I'm not skilled in FrontEnd? submitted by /u/tinker_b3lls [link] [comments] ...2024-10-06T15:25:12+00:002024-10-06T15:25:12+00:00

Finally feel like I completed somethingI've been developing both professionally and as a hobbist since I was in my teenage years about 20 years ago and I finally feel like I've completed my own project. Most of my hobbist projects (forum systems, CMS systems, journal systems, accounting software) have always been unfinished and predominantly unusable to anyone apart from myself. Normally custom built to solve my own problem. At the start of the year I wanted to finish something. I had an idea back in 2018 for a simple nursery rhyme app/website. When I used to read nursery rhymes to my daughters the websites where so trashy and unsuable to read from. I just wanted basic list and lyrics. I started in Angular (my current preferred framework) with Ionic (which is completely new) and capacitor to make ...2024-10-06T01:43:25+00:002024-10-06T01:43:25+00:00

E-commerce/Blog development as a freelance web devHi there everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble here, so I'm asking for your advice. I have a consulting freelance job as a full stack web dev (more leaning towards the front-end), which I would call my 9-5. I also have a background in web design and copywriting. I've recently been contacted by multiple people in my hometown, who asked me if I could build them an e-commerce or blog site. I would gladly do that, to earn some more and help my community, but it's now 2 months that I've been searching for a solution in my spare time without any luck. Let's talk about e-commerce. I think something similar can be applied to blogs: I don't want to reinvent the wheel, of course, so I veered towards WooCommerce and Shopify. Both of these solutions sounded great, but I ...2024-10-06T13:25:24+00:002024-10-06T13:25:24+00:00

Need advice for choosing stack for a fast website, specially talking about web assembly.Hi there, I've come across a project where i basically have to replicate Tally prime application to web, (also make pwa). I'm currently choosing stack, been mern developer for 4 years, I don't know what should i pick. The problem is that my client want something really really responsive, from responsive i don't mean the design, i mean the response time of each operation. I do have notices in past when i worked on a really heavy graphical website, reactjs did slowed down on computation parts. But i don't have much experience with c++ or rust. Its not like i don't want to use them, I am okay with using them. So can anyone who have used web assembly tell me a simple thing that will it help in my accounting software, im talking about the part where the entire tr ...2024-10-06T11:35:06+00:002024-10-06T11:35:06+00:00

Do you expect designers to use auto-layout?Tldr question: you're supposed to code a figma design, however designer just freedragged everything. Are u mad? I've got into a heated argument with other webdev regarding most graphic designers not using autolayout and pretty much just using free-drag approach to design. I get that freedrag is useful for graphics not meant to be coded but i can't wrap my head around why wouldn't u use it if you design websites or applications? I'm a graphic designer myself and i can't imagine not using the feature. I consider designers that just freedrag everything as bad designers or at least designers that don't understand how to use their tool for the job properly - it makes your design much more consistent and saves development time. Recently graphic sent me a design w ...2024-10-06T01:30:31+00:002024-10-06T01:30:31+00:00

About all this
- What's this page about?
- This is a basic start page for my own personal use. Search, random links, lots of rss feeds all aggregated into one.
- This looks awfully like Popurls!
- As it should. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this case is no different. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, nor taking credit for anything which I do not have due.
- Then why?
- This was all an excerscise to further flex my knowledge and tinker with something new.
- What was flexed?
- Attempts were made at making a site which thought a bit about usability (although, probably an overload of information at this point) while being fully
W3C valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS which is W3C valid(except the hack used in the YUI Reset!), JQuery to drive the fancy stuff, and Python behind the scenes. At least... that was the goal. - The page uses skeleton.css along with media queries to give different viewing experiences for wide browsers("desktop")vs small viewing areas ("mobile"). Media queries were selected so one could easily jump between different modes. Some javascript has exceptions to not or to trigger when viewed on "mobile" browsers.
