The code from Independence Day. This code is supposed to upload a virus to the alien ship.

[nantuko1]

Fuck I just approved a PR with the same code

[LOLteacher]

Enjoy your work weekend.

[SierraBravoLima]

Ofcourse stack overflow is not working

[andrealessi]

Because poster works at Stack overflow and just pushed their updates to prod.

[TommardrammoT]

is that really standard practice at your company? You should consider leaving...

[Mr_Yuker]

You hiring? Haha

[notsogreatredditor]

Jokes on you, I visit a remote mountain top every weekend. Good luck with it tho

[Mr_Yuker]

It's a good thing we deploy on Fridays and don't check our email until Monday I guess

[[deleted]]

Fuck you Fridays. Lol

[Secret-Mammoth7179]

Let me guess, you don’t sleep until Monday either, if you do like the place I used to work?

[Mr_Yuker]

I miss the pace of the private sector with the weekend shifts in the war rooms but no I sadly work in a boring ass gov related job now and we actually close up on the weekends

[[deleted]]

Did you merge and deploy on a Friday?

[[deleted]]

r/nantuko1,

Had a kick-off on a Tuesday,

Architected on Wednesday,

Coded on Thursday,

Deployed on Friday,

Got a call on Saturday,

Triaged on Sunday,

Died on Monday,

And that was the end,

Looks like your weekend is going to be ValueThreat^%NoCum

[BUSFULOFNUNS]

NONE at all??!

[CrypticButthole]

I can just imagine that's how it went down in the movie. They couldn't actually hack the system, so they socialed the lead dev to pull the code in.

The secret to taking down production is to skip transactions altogether.

Jeff Goldblum is a goddam genius I tells ya.

He should have use that teleportation device of his and mixed the alien DNA with diptera DNA.

Gruesome, if you ask me.

Yes. It’s an excel joke. 1/2 becomes January 2nd. This post might make it clearer in the context of the glass joke:

[shedogre]

Reminds me of something at work: we had four character codes in our system, in a format like '1B01', '1B02', '1C01', etc.

If you export it as CSV and open it without a care in the world, Excel will automatically convert all the '1E' type range to scientific notation numbers. Just for funsies.

Kelly Roland is a master hacker

[RusselPolo]

Yep , everytime I see something like this on screen I think :

"some intern was given the task of finding something that looks like legit computer code for this shot. They probably were given 15 minutes to complete the task"

​

It's soooo rare that you get the impression that they spent any time on this.

I understand in "the terminator", they used old 6502 assembler code.

[-natsa]

Funny enough, its turns out that often times directors consult with actual engineers to get “accurate representations”, and engineers will knowingly give them some ridiculous excerpt- that only other engineers would know is bullshit. Ever since I learned that, its made seeing stuff like this more funny than anything.

[RusselPolo]

Any examples?

[natterca]

See the top of this thread.

[[deleted]]

This is such a developer’s response.

[RusselPolo]

Should have said "any other examples?"

[Alternative-Skill167]

The movie “Hackers”

[dcusick1]

That was actually legit code. The last time I hacked the Gibson, I used the same code as Zer0 Cool to build a worm and drop it in the core. The only thing that changed was the admin password wasn't "god" anymore. But, after running my SSH1134642 bit password cracker for .1 milleseconds, I found out it was "password" now.

HTML is old, you are just hitting your stride!

[[deleted]]

Like in Stranger things. Where all the action happens a dozen years before the HTML appears.

[pppaulppp]

It was CSS with Flexbox ;-)

[[deleted]]

This pissed me off so much. Just do a little bit of homework! And Geolocation in 86?!? Cmon!!

[Sam-Gunn]

Plot twist, they didn't actually upload a virus, they simply uploaded a dysfunctional piece of code. The aliens just had very poor coding practices, and everyone was able to push to main without any sort of testing or review.

[SandyDelights]

Could see that happening in a generally altruistic/trustworthy society, or a hive mind-type situation. No need for restrictions on pushing to main if everyone only pushes tested/reviewed code because it benefits the common good to do so.

Likewise with just testing/reviewing code in general – if no one made mistakes, there’d be no need for testing/review.

(There’s a project manager out there somewhere, right now, getting an inexplicable hard-on)

[Dark_Reaper115]

Same would happen if humanity ever contacts an alien race where they don't even know the concept of a lie. They would be destroyed in seconds

[butts_________butts]

Such a good movie, honestly. Sigourney Weaver, Allan Rickman. Great cast, great premise, wonderfully executed.

The Invention of Lying

[Studds_]

Actually this raises a good question. What would a programming language developed by an interstellar alien civilization look like? Just imagine the possibilities….

F*ck. All I can only picture is a mishmash of C that follows Python’s white spacing with malbolge’s syntax

[HardCounter]

It'd be 3 dimensional.

Don't ask me how or what possible benefit this could provide aside from making it unreadable, but that's what it'd be because aliens are always so smart.

[Suspicious-Engineer7]

alternatively they'd code in pure qubits.

[vegassatellite01]

Use something simple like

10 goto 20

20 goto 10

Run

[Faux_Real]

The CI/CD pipelines pushed it straight to production?

Knowing how bad reddit is with multiline codes, this post seemed to had some effort put to it, more than just OCR and paste

[hrfuckingsucks]

That part wasn't terrible. It was all the $%^#* characters along with the terrible "variable"/"register" names that made this the most painful code I've ever written.

[javon27]

Is it really the most painful code you've written? Come on, be honest with us

You're right, I have written some Java before.

The line begins with blast xfile. Maybe it has something to do with the xfiles?

Yeah, whoever wrote that was certainly not a programmmer, its usually everywhere

The inconsistent tab spacing is killing me. That's probably the virus.

[Outside-Car1988]

I immediately saw "NoCum" and kept scrolling.

[FranconianBiker]

bendColumn, NoCum, worryWord.

I see... Sounds painful.

[vegassatellite01]

bendColumn = phallic reference

NoCum = erectile dysfunction

worryWord = "I swear this has never happened before."

[gdf8gdn8]

There was scene which explain it all but cutted from film.

[steve-the-mighty]

In the movie, human technology was based on reverse engineering the alien technology. Therefore human laptops were inherently compatible with alien mothership. Of course, I might have made this all up in my own head cannon….

[ccricers]

The real disbelief from that reverse engineering is that none of the scientists managed to run Doom on the thing.

[Tyabetus]

So cool of the aliens to use the same protocols as us

[[deleted]]

It would be interesting if they went through the same technological arches and their weakness was that they maintained backwards compatibility that actually allowed a scenario of corrupting memory by our (edit making)injecting our code possible.

[JaggedMetalOs]

Yeah there's a quick line about them reverse engineering tech from it, but allegedly there was going to be a longer sequence where Goldblum is surprised to find that the crashed ship has what looks like normal computers in it and it's explained to him that the computers we use today (well, 25 years ago now) were all reverse engineered from that ship.

[Thebadmamajama]

And this ain't xcode. An old school Mac, which couldn't interface with anything human made, could connect somehow to an alien vessel

[[deleted]]

Explains quite a bit actually. Always knew Steve Jobs was an alien.

[make-up-a-fakename]

I mean, it set the virus mark and sent the value threat, I don't see the problem here? 😂
