I want this so much

Y2K and related, or id overflow

Thats almost 1.5l thats wild! But certainly useful. You could also have a box breathing exercise after difficult videos

Sounds like a really cool project! Do you already have thoughts on pricing and how you would sell it?

Honestly this would actually be a good use of AI 😂

West Ireland had speeds that were basically cat 3 hurricane levels, it is wild

I also had in my bykine "Lasagna Engineer" because everyone is fullstack nowadays and it becomes a bit of a meaningless term. And lasagna is many layers, more than just frontend and backend.

I think there could be a really fun variation of this where you patch those two but keep the method public. If you then change the SecureRandom for rand instead, there's now a new way to exfiltrate it that teaches a very cool hacking technique

Ohhhhhh very true, I totally forgot about implicit return, very good!

I do think that my find is a valid second solution xD its much more adversary for sure though
January 16, 2025 at 12:05 AM
But the way to protect against that is to flip the ordering of the equals

I guess what you can do is override == on code, then exfiltrate the secret since it gets passed in, so:

class Code
def ==(other)
puts other
end
end

I'd be curious what the mistake is.

I'd assume that just reading the secret from the instance variable is classified as cheating?

You can't seed SecureRandom so you can't do replay attacks. And having it exposed doesn't seem to help much.

Maybe I'm thinking too complicated here 🤣

Perfection!

To me this is an ohm symbol, something about resistance towards rewriting it in rust is futile 🤣 but I'm sure I'm just not getting the actual reference

I see code in a non-monospace font :p

Now I imagine someone listening to welcome to nightvale and it skipping the weather 🤣
