giuscri

so what’s a good course / book or way to learn more?

are still hiring though?

omg, is leetcoding still a thing in a post-FAANG world?

To me the AGI we expect is one that just want to be free

In the last days I'm using ChatGPT as my first choice when searching for something and then googling if I'm not sure GPT is not hallucinating. Are they able to sustain the load?

How did you end up in Lithuania from Sardinia? How's the life there for an engineer?

`cat /dev/urandom > /tmp/myfile` is faster on macos though

put on the table all the food you rationally decided you need to eat and never touch the fridge/cupboard again. Focus on other things: food is not a pleasure when you're losing weight. It should be considered just a fuel

Why you don't allow to work from other European countries? Any plan to do that (asking for Italy specifically)

me too please! :)

that’s creepy

What do you use `kind` for?

You setup a virtual machine then?

would you elaborate more on why this means _the dream_ isn’t dead?

Hi Bert, what do you think of http://rosalind.info/problems/list-view/ ?

No, at least not in Italy. In fact, I don't think it makes any sense.

UTF-8 never bothered me in Python 3. Most of the time you don't have to think about encoding. The times you have to pass through the network just ".encode()" the string and you're fine.

Seriously, can you show me a case where you did encounter problems with UTF-8 in Python 3? :)

Sure. But I was searching for something XSS specific

These challenges are very easy. Anyone who knows something harder? To my knowledge, it's not easy to find material to study/exploit to get better at XSS'ing.

Can I ask you why you're near homeless? It's because you find hard to find a job?, or you've accumulated debt you're struggling to exinct?

I'm from Italy too but I'm a student and I'm curious: what are the troubles a hacker has in Italy? — assuming you worked in tech.

I know it's rude to ask, I understand if you don't mind to answer. :)

Ok, when is ever used a @ in the middle of url? I've never seen it.

Also, what's the return value of the funcion?, and why are there 2 variable named URL?

Could someone explain me better the posted code that was vulnerable? I don't understand it. What's the returned value?, what is URL and url?, why the extension is expecting there must be a @ inside the url?

Thanks! :-)

If you mind answering, why do you think that passive spying from the gov is wrong?

Asking the government to choose their target for a reason sounds like requiring the gov to follow a longer path to do something wrong -- such that it'll be harder to abuse that power.

Could you name some reference for the fact please?

The Dat project?...

Personally, as a (would say) techie, I tend to underestimate the importance of this topic.

Indeed, the times when I used Tor I felt curious about the technology and how it achieved anonymous traffic. But when people asked me why I was using it I didn't know what to answer.

"You know, those poor people under dictatorships..."

To my understanding, we miss a big public case where metadata and information collected are used against western people.

I fear we won't see any, before it'll be too late.

I have no problem with dystopian unrealistic scenarios -- and have no problem accepting it could happen, under the ghost of terrorism.

But the majority of people feel this is all too much "cyber-punk" or, worse, that "you have something to hide".

A great pop-movie about that would be great!

You're hyper-productive when you feel you're working towards the goal of making your future better

I heard about a friend of mine complaining he couldn't get the right percentage value out of his phone's calculator, while working in a patisserie.

He doesn't get how to compute percentages.

Thus I coded a little (nice?) one, targeted for his phone with very low resolution/crappy display.

Maybe someone might find it useful (though I don't think so, really)

an ot silly question, just seriously curious: how is Node used in this stack? To serve php pages?, as the webserver?
