This was also a multi-billion dollar company spending like $10,000.00 per month on their Azure subscription.

Incompetence knows no bounds.

Every single company I've worked for so far has had one of these combinations as real passwords protecting valuable information:
company name + 123! (sometimes not even the !)
smile101
application name + 123!
welcome123 or welcome201x ("x" being the current year. Sometimes they mix it up with the company name or part of it in front)
password1 (or some variant)
shortened company name (ie. 2-4 letters) + 123!
shortened application name (ie. 2-4 letters) + 123!

sometimes exclamation points, sometimes capitols, etc etc. A comprehensive list of all these types of passwords would rang in the hundreds of thousands at the very best.
aka even at its slowest, my PC would crack a password like this in a matter of seconds. If I really wanted to get fancy, I could add markov permutations and get a massive list that would take me a minute or so.

My friend recently introduced me to Semantic UI as an alternative to Bootstrap, which has become rather bloated, and is kind of a pain in the ass.

I definitely prefer the way it handles columns:

Which means if you want to add a column, you just need to add that element and then change "three" to "four," whereas with Bootstrap you need to specify the size of every single column:

So if you want to add a column, you need to add that column, then change the size of all the others to accommodate (aka it's a pain in the ass). Bootstrap also is especially a pain in the ass if you have an odd number of columns that you want to centre, because you have to specify the size of each and well... yeah. With Semantic UI you just specify the number of columns and it does the rest.

It also looks nice and has better native form support, most notably with dropdowns.

Unfortunately it doesn't have nearly as many plugins as Bootstrap does, but you gotta take what you can get.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with Semantic UI, especially considering making websites is my job and it's going to make my job easier, which Bootstrap has only barely been able to do. So goodbye Bootstrap and good riddance.

I mean..
Uhh..

.. Yeah, I got nothin'.

IntelliJ has to be the worst editor I've ever encountered. I can deal with every UI element being ridiculously slow, if it offers a lot of refactoring and telemetry (There's no reason for it be THIS slow, but I looked past it), however, I've never seen an editor automatically run auto formatting whenever it damn well pleases with no option to revert. the default editing/formatting settings are some of the dumbest I've ever come across. I'm using Notepad++, for now.

That's because you're not running a web server, essentially.

You can use Valgrind to set one up and have it isolated from the rest of your machine, but it can be a little tricky if you've never worked with it before.

I'm pretty lazy so I just put Ubuntu Server on a VM with VirtualBox, install Apache, and setup a shared folder with the httpd directory. Then just browse to it like you would any other site (with whatever IP address VirtualBox has).

Having an actual server running makes things a lot simpler, so I'd recommend setting one up.

You should just be able to run `npm start` to launch to local web server. It's built into the project.

Just make sure you've installed the dependency:`npm install http-server -g`

I'll take a look at the PR shortly :]

Yeah, if you're using node then that would likely be the simplest thing to do.

XAMPP if you're lazy. Otherwise grab yourself a Raspberry Pi.

Win 10 now has a built-in Ubuntu kernel. npm-install away.

Did you first build the project by running `npm build` ? There is a build step as the project uses webpack to transpile and bundle the code.

When I tried to run it I saw a black screen with some errors in the console. Is that what you're seeing ?

No, there's an all.js that seems to have been built and includes an implanted copy of Main.js, but before I was editing Main.js and seeing the results immediately, now I have to 'npm build' to update it, which I can't seen to do once I run 'npm start'. and after the whole song and and dance I still get the Cross-Origin issue

no errors, it runs fine for me. I can add some semicolons, in that area, though

I've never worked with node before so unfortunately I can't help in that regard.

Are the files you're referencing using absolute paths? So long as you do:

you won't get a Cross-Origin error, but you will if you try to refer to it with your local machine's addressing (i.e. using the file:// protocol).

You can use `npm watch` to build as you make changes. BTW here are a list of all of the scripts related to the project. You should be able to run build and start at the same time in different terminals.

Not sure what's going on with the cross origin issue. It should work provided you are hitting the http://127.0.0.0:8080 address. You shouldn't be opening the html file manually.

In the same week I've talked to Patricia Correa and delivered food to Google HQ, and talked to and delivered food for Xamarin Studio.

Pretty nifty week.

I called the store delivering and went "Okay, here's the deal.. Make damn sure you don't fuck this one up."

You don't need to install webpack globally since it's already in your project dependencies. Node will check your project node_modules first, which means you can also install http-server as a project dependency and completely omit the global install step.

Also all the haxelibs are in a weird spot, so I don't have too much I can do for coding

Anybody alive in here ?

I am in between jobs right now so I thought I would hack on the game I was posting here some months ago. I decided to start by redoing the client since the backend is in a pretty good place from all the work I did before. Maybe I will make this feel more RTSish ?

After a stressful 2 months or so, I have no finals. Resuming gamedev and also working on a haxe flixel backend for the soon to be best haxelib for UI, HaxeUI v2. It works for every framework (because of the backends), so it's a crosslibrary crossplatform UI framework I guess.

I do have a ton of writing to do for research, but that's not as bad as my semester has generally been.

At 12/7/16 11:35 PM, PrettyMuchBryce wrote: Anybody alive in here ?

Not me specifically, but one of flixel's maintainers is now under contract sorta to work on the lib, so it'll finally be able to use the latest OpenFL version. OpenFL 4 had a massive breaking change, and pretty much all of flixel's rendering has had to be rewritten. I'll finally be able to update my haxelibs without breaking everything.

Meanwhile I've been busy building servers and tools for my work. Can't really show much since PCI and all, but I developed something kinda neat. All my work-related servers use GCloud for everything (server, sql, load balancing, etc) - minus CloudFlare. I wanted an easy way to patch these servers with the latest GRSec kernels.

I have one main "build server" that builds the kernel and puts the finished .deb install packages into a bucket (GCloud file storage) - all machines mount this as root and restrict access to it. Here's the build script, with prerequisites for using it.

Prereqs (use as root):

And the client's "pull & install" script below:

Hacked a few items together from the interwebs to make this work, and it works pretty damn well.

Oh yeah, did you ever come up with a solution to that pathfinding problem you were having? Like how you needed the exact path but your map was dynamic and you had multiple actors.

Sort of. I'm actually wrapping around to thinking about that again right now.

The biggest problem is that paths that are impossible end up taking a very long time to resolve. This is because with the way A* works it needs to exhaust the list of open nodes before it considers no path to be found. But the thing is, almost all of these cases happen because some other actor is blocking access to some enclosed space. e.g.

So imagine here actor A needs to move to T, but actor B is in the way. Maybe this is some sort of house or cave that actor A would like to enter. If the world around the house/cave is very large then A* will need to exhaustively search all of it only to discover there is no path. I'm wondering if there is some way to exit early once we've explored a contiguous set of nodes around the target. I wonder even if there is already a paper somewhere that details some technique to do this, or variations of A* already handle. I'm just now starting to dig into it. If I can solve this then I think it should take care of the problem.

Is the GRSec kernel widely used ? I've never heard of it before. Does it work well ? What kind of applications is it used for ?
