Boss should be packing his bags for not controlling db permissions, amateur

Depending on the company, the DBA should also pack their bags.

Because there's a bunch of snap-judgements on this sub from people who obviously have no industry experience.
Lots of "no semicolons bad" overzealous language bashing from people who haven't done anything besides university projects with the language.
It's kind of insufferable.
|
Pardon, but even I find that to be insufferable, despite my total lack of industry experience. So I cannot accept your reason as the answer here.
|
Can really be applied to like 50% of workforce in developed countries. Office workers also pretty much just sit at a desk.
|
Still often just facilitators.

Had a private repo I committed a discord key early on when I was playing around with. Removed it a couple commits later. Project went on for another 6 months through another hundred or so commits. After I was done I changed the repo to public. Within 30 minutes I got a message from discord saying the key was detected and automatically revoked.
|
Yeah, in git you can't delete files so easily, that's the point of a version control system, to be able to roll back to a previous version in which the file was still there
Try searching for "removed private key" on GitHub, you'll be shocked what you'll find

I've read through some questions about it on SO and the immediate, intense existential dread is tangible.
|
I did it once, commited my AWS keys on public repository and within an hour there were approximately 70-80 active Instances and bill was over 2lacs INR (2749 USD)
|
You mean key and secret both right? Finally what happened ? You had to pay ?
|
Nopes, I called AWS customer care & told them what happened, and they waved off my entire bill..
#GoodPeople
|
I hope you had only the normal support plan or the developer one ? Sorry lots of questions ...
|
There are two kinds of developers. Those that have already committed a private key/password to github, and those that will do it.
|
May God give strength to those who haven't done this till now but may do it in future
|
So having generic commit messages like "done some stuff", "whatever 123" and "bla bla bla" does have its advantages.
|
"Various bug fixes" is probably a good realistic one to actually use
|
I was leading a hackathon team that did this. Within a minute someone had scraped the key and ran up $9000 overnight.
A few people learnt important lessons that day.
|
This didn't happen to me but someone did gain access to my AWS account (made it a long time ago and I must have used the password somewhere else like an idiot). They managed to spin up $220 worth of servers before the account was closed by Amazon.
I messaged them about what happened and 2 days later I had my money back. Helps that Amazon literally has the best customer support in the world. They will refund you for stolen packages and take your word when you say your package arrived empty (happened to me as well lol), no questions asked.
|
Basically there are people who monitor all Github commits for files that look like they contain AWS credentials. If they see one they log in and spin up loads of high end servers, presumably for bitcoin mining or similar.
|
Boy, is learning a new technology not hard enough as it is? Now I have to worry about going bankrupt while I am also getting mind-fucked by the 10 trillion payment tiers that AWS has.
|
Or you could practice good hygiene and keep credentials outside of the repo. I'm nearing retirement and have never even had a close call with this.
|
This. We have strict controls over keys even though our repo is private
|
Leave deliberate bugs in your project in case you leave a key in there so you can quickly fix them and write up a commit
|
Oh so THAT'S WHY programmers don't wanna write bug free code?
Cover your back. That makes sense now. Me always thought that programmers were just a lazy bunch. I stand corrected
|

I did have a package arrive empty once. Was so weird. They sent another one immediately. Though it would be pretty unreasonable of them to ask you to prove it was empty somehow. I noticed without opening because it was a padded envelope that was supposed to contain a book - pretty clear it was empty, so I took a video of me opening the sealed envelope and finding nothing inside - but they never asked for it.
|
Later when publishing release notes:
“Various bug fixes and improvements”
|
those improvements include more bugs
|
Damn, I just checked and someone straight up left their FB password on there.
Gave me a security check page when I logged into their FB account though. So good on Facebook for being secure.
|
you shouldn't confess to crimes
|
More than programmers it is hiring managers that are terrified of anything not sublinear considering what they ask in coding challenges. Sure our entire application is a CRUD interface that is io and network bounded but man the fact that you inverted a tree suboptimally will kill the company!
|
It is mostly juniors who fall in the trap of premature optimization
|
Similar vibe: I'll never forget the time I was doing pair programming with my first team lead. He needed to refer to a variable named "maxPrice", so he typed "maxPric", pressed Ctrl+Space and waited for the codecomplete suggestions. This was back in the age of Eclipse so it took a good 10 seconds for the list to pop up. We ended up laughing so hard that we took a coffee break instead
|
That's more of a typo sanity checking than saving typing, but 10 seconds is excessive
|
I tried to explain this to my neighbours and they just gave me a nod and a smile and I know they were thinking "idk what you're talking about but ok!" And instead of continuing the conversation they fed me sweets and I am ok with this.
|
"Honey, the neighbor is ranting about the clouds again..."
"Just get him those caramels and a hot cocoa, that always shuts him up."
|
Or... The cloud is just a name for a particular use of other people's computers
|
The "Cloud", aka the glorified FTP server.
|
That's more of a typo sanity checking than saving typing, but 10 seconds is excessive
|
That and ensuring it's in scope etc. In general, I like to know the compiler is on the same page as I am while I code so that any discrepancies are resolved before I switch my attention elsewhere, and this is one way to help with that. Fixing problems is much easier and faster while the context is still all in your head. Once you move on to the next block of code, coming back to fix something is essentially debugging and we all know that it can be a quick fix or chasing a problem for two hours and you never know which one it will be.
|
I didn't choose "press up 72 times".
I chose "press up one more time" 72 times.
|
One more time would imply you already pressed it once, so you've now actually pressed up 73 times and gone too far. **IndexOutOfBoundsException**
|
To be fair, that "someone else's computer" is instantly scalable as needed, geograhically distributed and edge-cached, multiple levels of failover (including on connectivity) and comes with its own 24/7 world class admin and security teams. If that describes your computer setup, then it is the same ;)
|
Your setups not like that?

Another good trick is to deliberately make such a small mistake so that your client calls you out on it. They feel good because they contributed, you feel good because you expected them to come to you with this so the fix is super easy :)

We can fix this with inheritance
|
20 years exp and I still do because switch statement syntax is messed up. Always
|
Absolutely! What is up with the : and no () in Java?! Weird. Don't have any where near that much experience but that makes sense.
|
A programmers job is to translate poorly defined vague requirements into something that makes logical sense. This story makes more sense than the original one.
|
Into something that makes logical sense *to computers* which isn't always the same as making actual logical sense.
The way computers do things is often times completely insane.
|
Stack overflow doesn't occur in an infinite loop. That occurs in a recursive function.

Do you not stack your eggs?

The real problem with this joke is that grocery stores can just be expected to have eggs in stock.

JavaScript is a very versatile and futuristic machine gun that works in most situations. It might not be the best and has a lot of strange quirks that pop up if you don't hold it the correct way but it's easy to learn.
However, when you take it apart you notice that on the inside it still follows the specs of a 17th century flintlock musket.
|
JavaScript is a sword without a hilt.
|
- goes to the store
- there are eggs
- the hell is a dozen ?
- syntax error
|
Yeah exactly. "A dozen" is a method taking one argument: the item you need 12 of. The original version of this meme doesn't actually work, because the so-called "literal" interpretation of it *still* requires human English natural-language parsing, not strict formal logic.
|
I like how the C++ one has a knife on the stock that would stab you in the shoulder if you were to use it.
|
I liked that too. C++ is a capable weapon, but also causes the user pain.
|
No joke, someone found out I code as a hobby and asked me to hack into a fucking bank. Instant blocked him.
|
Sir, if I knew how to hack billion dollar companies, I'd be getting paid shit tons from bug bounty programs.
|
But if someone never programmed, what's an address in memory ? What does it do ? What can I do with it ? How do I use it ? What can't be done or is an error ?
There's the confusing part
|
By the time you're learning pointers you should already have learned about the stack, heap, and passing by reference vs value.
|
Yes. The bug I didn't know how to fix is now two bugs I do know how to fix.
-Me, yesterday night
|
Thoughts and prayers.
|

I have heard of pointers but none of that shit my dude
|
Floating points are real, real numbers are a figment of our imagination....
|
Three tenths is supposed to be a rational number though.
|
I'm doing electronic engineering, I'll look at this stuff when I'm not crying about semiconductor physics
|
Lol 10/10 reply!
Basically the stack is statically sized memory that your computer knows it's gonna need ahead of time. The size is fixed depending on the program.
The heap is dynamically sized memory and can grow or shrink as the program runs.
Then passing by reference means I'm not actually giving the whole object, I'm just telling you where to look for it.
Passing by value is saying "that thing you need? Here it is."
|
There were 7 bugs before. Two of them were hiding under another bug, and two more are still there but not yet known or counted.
|
Wouldnt it only be five cos there were 3, one was fixed leaving 2, but 2 more became visible taking the current number up to 4?
|
The thing about browsers is that if you go to a shady website, it's completely normal, if you go to a trusted website, but its certificate expired 0.00000685 seconds ago, it's dangerous.
|
Yes. Because it's much more important to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks against trusted websites. If a user trusts a website, the browser needs to enforce that trust.
|
Hi, I study computer science education. Have a PhD in it, and now work as a professor. Your personal experience does not help here for two big reasons:
1. Personal experience does not necessarily generalize, especially with something as complicated as education.
2. Your newfound understanding is only possible because of everything that you saw before it.
It doesn't mean you were taught wrong or badly (though you may have been!). It means a teacher may have told you exactly what you're now advocating, but you weren't yet ready, and it didn't work. Eventually you did have the knowledge structure built up such that when the idea next came around, it finally clicked into place.
|
This is the "monad burrito tutorial fallacy". I'm sure many of us here reasonate with that experience.
|
Ngl that's a pretty creative way to add, unfortunately both numbers have to be positive
|
Not if we invent better computers. I find it kind of disgusting it’s been like 80 years since the first computers and they still can’t create time
|
That's ok, you're committing to your own development branch, right?
No? But at least you've been committing small changes regularly?
Ok, so it's one big commit, but everything is described in the commit message?
Oh, it says "Fixed screen output" and there's fifty separate changes including several to InputParser.C.
And it doesn't compile.
|
And they pushed to master
And there is an automatic build and deploy pipeline for the master branch.
|
I know everything here should be really fast to execute, but couldn't this occasionally provide an incorrect answer if you got really unlucky?
|
Yes. Tho probably only off by 1 so ehh close enough.
|
You can divide the time by 2 and multiply the difference by 2, there you go, just made it 50% faster

Optimization level 1000

I see (relatively short) person running away from us, with bacpack on his back.
|
Me too. Also thought the AI was dumb for thinking it was a dog...
|
This but unironically. I feel really bad when I’m cuddling with my gf and all I can think of is “that bug”
|
You're neglecting your code. You should feel bad. Imagine what your girlfriend would think.
|
Nonsense. If it's a negative number, it just sleeps in reverse. Pretty sure this dev just invented time travel. This is going in the history books next to penicillin, post-it notes, and silly putty.
|
You sit down at your computer, open up the calculator, and the answer to a problem you were going to ask appears...of course now you have to punch in the problem anyway or it will never have gone back in time in the first place...
|
One time I was going out for lunch with a colleague, and I was debugging my code in my head.
I actually found the bug.
|
That happens to me all the time. Which goes to prove that doing something different does solve problems. Yet procrastination does not work as well. [I type procrastinating while all my test fail on a Sunday on code I told my boss was fixed on Friday]
|
Everyone knows Minecraft should have been developed in another language tho.
|
Oh absolutely. But still minecraft gang
|
I mean yes,... And oddly no.
Using Java is the reason that a game with last century graphics makes a NASA super computer look like a toaster.
On the other hand it's also the reason why the modding scene took off like it did.
You can obfuscate as much as you want (which wasn't the case for minecraft in the first place), it's still gonna be mostly trivial to decompile and work with.
|
You're right, I only thought about the performance aspects!
|
Damn bro I've been trying to build a nether bortal too, who's your obsidian dealer?
|
We've had a funeral for a ghast
|
Java can be very fast too, shitty programming is the reason it is slow, not using java.
|
Yeah, some features have been optimized in more recent updates with fixes such as multithreading when processing chunks on servers, but I believe they've said before that proper, full multithreading would require rewriting huge parts of the code
|
wrong, the animals are facing different directions in the two pics
left: outward
right: inward

They are spinning tho.. It's indicated on the drawings.

|
if you compare earlier versions of the game they also performed better.
Current versions place an absurd amount of objects into memory that the GC has to deal with. This means the GC has to run more often and deal with more stuff which takes away processing power for the rest of the game.

|
Which has lead to a lot of obsession over precise GC tweaking flags, and when the collector can hardly keep up with rapidly used up RAM the lag spikes can get insane.
To be fair the old versions ran better mostly because there was nothing in them lol. The latest release performs pretty well with a few things though, like chunk generation and massive explosions. The rendering engine isn't much better though
|
I don't think anybody is going to unironically say that Java is the best language for game development. Unless maybe they've never seen or used any other languages.
|
Yeah I write Java daily and wouldn't use it to make any game, well maybe tic-tac-toe, but only because I don't feel like getting into a new language atm.
|
Go for unity. You won't struggle to understand c# if you've worked with Java and it's very popular
|
And very powerful. People like to shit on Unity but, unless you are a giant studio doing Cyberpunk, Unity will not give you any trouble, while providing most of the technology games need to develop right out of the box. The same goes for Godot, Unreal or any other game engine. Don't reinvent the wheel.

If you already know Java then C# is trivial.

And there's some features missing and some crafting recipes are fucked. Shovels in a boat? Wtf?!
|
but shovels in a boat make total sense
|
Only downfall? You mean paying for character skins and resource packs all of a sudden is not a drawback? This is not even mentioning the infuriating differences in game mechanics. In Java I can hold and use torches in my offhand. Great for mining. Or food, or totems. In bedrock I can only use the shield in my offhand.
The only thing I'll give bedrock is the handling of bad internet connections. Playing on Java is impossible with bad internet. Blocks keep resetting. On bedrock the blocks will disappear in your client, and when the connection catches up, it won't put the blocks back but just regularly drop the loot instead.
|
The microtransactions and differences in mechanics aren't because of what language is written in
|

|
Unless you enjoy reinventing wheels of course.
|
Ok, in java at least the bugs are consistent and always work the same way which lets you do wacky things. In bedrock your shot sometimes works or sometimes breaks.
|
In Java the bugs have been there since the beginning and consistently work the same. At this point, they are features.
In bedrock, pistons don't fire reliably, meaning that any complex piston action is a pipe dream
|
No, this is not a staged conversation and I am genuinely sorry for this dude thinking he can program in English
|
`alias english="python"` there you go
|
Is there any way in the world we can get a sample of this person's "code" that keeps "breaking"?
|
I asked him. No reaction so far
|
One person didn't create the internet. It was built by thousands, or maybe millions of programmers with decades of hard work.
|
Yup!
Building blocks man... our current technology sits on many blocks that were placed decades ago.
|
Zen of python: There should only be one way to do something*
*Except string formatting where we'll add new ways to do that with every version.
|
f string, string.format, probably some other builtin library too. Heck, you can even add strings together: "Hello " + "World!"
|
The intro course for computer science at my school only used Java. The final project was to build Tetris. Everyone ended up getting a boost to their project grade when there were so many complaints that the TAs and professor tried building it themselves and saw how difficult it was, especially for people who before a few months ago had never coded anything in their lives.
|
Why were they making you build a whole game in an intro course?
|
Been wondering about that myself, had a look around the interwebs and the only conclusion I can come to is that apparently the creator of python was worried about ++ being confusing, and potentially ambiguous from a parsing perspective.
It seems there are a few languages hopping on this "no increment operator" bandwagon after python did it, rust does not have increment operators by similar reasoning of python, and swift seems to have removed support for them.
I'm not really fond of this idea of not having an increment operator, I much prefer the classic for loop with indexes and increments than the newer way of doing looping i.e. "for x in A", but that's just me.
|
It's a matter of intent. Are you iterating over objects in a container or are you iterating through the indices which are valid for a container? The first is straight forward and obvious. The latter might do anything, including modifying the container. Don't ask for more permission than you need.

|
I find that "for x in a" works really well in a lot of cases, but every now and again I realize halfway through making my loop that I needed the index of the current item for something and I have to go retroactively change it back into a regular loop.
That said, when I can use the simpler format, I do. It's really nice.
|
To be honest f strings are superior. I'm super happy they added them. I couldn't bear other ways
|
I wish java had them, f strings are just so nice
|
True. String interpolation is the most readeable way of handling strings all together.
|
Until karl decides that he needs to use `my.thing.that.has.aValue.with.some.subProperty.that.i.really.want.to.have.in.a.message`inside his interpolation and he doesn't want to assign it to a local variable "because he doesn't need to"
|
It depends. If you're old school, then it could be XML data rather than JSON...
|
And if riding on newer tech could be protobuf data too...

|
If you're talking about working in python, check out enumerate.
|
To expand, when you realize you messed up with 'for x in a' and wished you had an index as well, you can do: for i,x in enumerate(a): .... and that does the magic! I love nice patterns :P
|
Somehow enumerate wasn't taught during my intro to programming class. I only learned about it afterwards doing random stuff on my own. Enumerate is a godsend
|
I'm just converting JSON to a fancy XML dialect with elements of interactivity using a scripting language that has more gotcha's than the average document of legalese
|
well, if you use it properly js shouldn't have gotchas
properly as in, you don't use `==` mainly
|
That might be the case if the API catered to your every need and no user interaction was required
|
GraphQL APIs do a lot of lifting.
|
This is very true, that's why I do SQL queries directly from the frontend. Saves money on front and back -end devs. My employer should give me a raise for my idea before I lose my job because of it.
|
yea smh just do server side rendering instead, why need a frontend
|
heck, just spin up a vm (or x server?) on the backend and stream that to frontend. can't get more secure than that right?
|
People can't steal your data if you just give it away
|
I lost my API keys once. Thankfully I had it pushed into my open-sourced github repo a few weeks earlier.
|
I keep mine in the README!
|
Repost.
Also, remove documentation. No question about that. You cannot go without testing or refactoring.
|
99% of documentation you get is shit/outdated anyway, and documentation doesn't help if the code is garbage.
|
The progression is learning how much you don't know.
Mastery is being able to look your manager in the face and tell him, dead serious "I have no idea why the production server crashed. We'll find out, now please stop panicking."
|
I don't think I'll ever stop secretly suspecting everyone else just knows more than me, and I am an idiot.
|

|
Someone always knows more than you about something. That's the nature of the job. The biggest achievement you can attain is not knowing everything. It's not being afraid of not knowing something while also having an idea where to look once it comes up.
The key is to remember that you can and will always learn more. And more. And you'll still know only a small bit of all there is out there. And that's okay.
Be as good as you can be in your chosen field, and learn whatever you feel will help making you better.
|
Let’s be honest. You know which of these two pages has the answer you need.
|
The first one requires you to install a lot of dependencies you don't need for car storage compatibility and needs a few pieces compiled manually. And requires pytorch or some shit.
The second is sudo apt install umbrella.
|
Why bother with documentation ?
End users build it organically through angry forum posts anyways.
|
This. Documentation would go first, then testing.
|
One to ask a question, one to call the question stupid to get that out of the way, and one to answer incorrectly to trigger Cunningham's Law.
|
Seems like a viable strategy to decentralized software engineering.

Here's a trick: no need for a note taking app; just do this...
1. Write notes in markdown
2. Track them with git
3. Push them into a private repo on GitHub for safe storage
Now, you can browse the version history of your notes and see what you were up to on any given day, and you have a perfect GitHub graph. You'll probably pick up some markdown tricks along the way too.
|
I would like to add to this and recommend Pandocs for note taking

Ah I remember when I first got a 256mb hard drive. Oh boy! I ran home and installed every game that I had, still didn't fill it up.

Storage space is an interesting feedback loop. Content creators limited how big the content was because the storage was expensive. As storage became cheaper, content creators made content larger (better quality) which drove the need for larger, cheaper storage which led to content creators making larger content.
|
And in some instances it’s easier for the creators to let things take up more space and not have to optimize.

q: Why is this a photo of a printout of a screenshot?
My answer for ten: because it was photoshopped.
|
I can't tell if you are joking... Photoshop actually allows saving to PNG, JPG etc. It would arguably be harder to print a photoshopped image due to adobe's horrible printer compatibility

They expect you to use complex password. No security expert would use something like "password134" and that's why its the best password.
|
I just found out yesterday that the password for the slovak national security agency was something like SNSA1234.
|
Pretty much. It was even more of a stretch for me because besides "a paycheck", they have at no point in the application process given me a reason anyone would want to work there. The job description doesn't even say what I'd do in the job, and certainly has no information on the company. Their website's "about us" page has a collage of pictures, presumably of employees, with a few random buzzwords written on them. They have never once told me, "This is who we are, this is what we're proud of being." I'm relatively new to job searching and I have never imagined I'd have to ask "tell me literally anything about your company", and I never quite managed to work it into conversation. So, that's something I've learned going forward.
The closest they ever came to telling us anything about them was basically to say that we wouldn't have any real support in our jobs, we'd just be given projects and pushed out of the nest on our own. All this in the specific context of, any time you make a mistake, it will be 100% your own fault.
When I got this question all I had to fall back on was a few corporate buzzwords like "dynamic" and "innovative". It seemed to work, honestly.
At this point I sorta hope I end up getting offered the job because it will be very satisfying to turn them down.

I once had an interview at a company that wrote me on LinkedIn. They told me a little bit about the company (the program contactless card terminals), but nothing about the role whatsoever. I was open to a new job at the time, so I thought what the hell and accepted the invitation. The tech lead described the job as the most boring SQL query optimization job ever and then later the interviewer from HR asked me: "Why would you like to work with us?" I felt this feeling that you feel when something is really bad and you're part in disbelief and part really glad that you don't have to have anything to do with it. They invited *me*!
Anyway, I got the job offer and I was really happy to refuse. Felt very satisfying indeed.

Well JavaScript Devs would do \*anything\* to get some attention from the chief master Dan Abramov (gaearon) himself. Even a declined PR.

Checks out, I am jealous of this acknowledgment

"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
"At another company getting paid 20% more"

"Tell me something about yourself."
"Read the resume."
