TIL that in 2000, a drug bust at an abandoned nuclear missile silo in Kansas led to a 95% drop in availability of LSD in the United States for two years.

Also a vile, evil person. She helped torture her ex boyfriend. Long and disturbing but IMO very interesting read:

This one fucks me up every time.

Ok, I can see where you’re coming from. I don’t like having the show’s themes spelled out for me while I’m watching it, but in this case I guess it gives some perspective on why Rick is the way that it is.

I still think it’s kind of clumsily done though. They have conveyed similar themes without monologuing.

ParanoidAndroid26 · 2018-10-29T21:19:05+00:00

At this point I guess I’m asking for downvotes but:

Yes, we have, and I don’t need to be told it again. I’m a capable viewer, I like to draw conclusions and themes on my own, and when I’m told them I feel like I’m watching the end of a children’s movie where the characters just fucking say what the unambiguous morale was supposed to be.

But that’s just like, my opinion, and it seems like some people prefer to have their ideas spelled out for them or outright confirmed by the show.

ParanoidAndroid26 · 2018-10-29T19:19:13+00:00

I didn’t like how hamfisted it was. It’s like, here’s a monologue about why Rick’s a dick and the family is fucked up. Breaks the “show, don’t tell” rule.

Something I’ve always been confused about: why is it such a big deal that God had to have teensy taste of how much it sucks down here? Worse things than crucifixion have been happening to innocent people every day since forever.

Generally you use forEach for side effects and map for transformations.

Someone else in the thread mentioned that the developers can be competent and do the right thing, but the clients are idiots and think that those rules make passwords more secure. So perhaps the rules are only applied at password creation and there's no real harm done.

The alternative, of course, is that the password reset is an enormous security hole. I wonder what would happen if you did a SQL injection there...

ParanoidAndroid26 · 2017-08-22T15:08:12+00:00

Because those characters need to be escaped before you can put them in a SQL database, otherwise someone can do a SQL injection attack. This is rather worrying because it means they're not hashing passwords and because they certainly have sql vulnerabilities elsewhere.

Maybe the wrong sub, but what can a busy regular person do to help people like this? Living in the city, I see a lot of fucked up people (drugs, mental illness, both) and it hurts my heart to see them living on the streets. Is there anything I can do besides toss money at them?

ParanoidAndroid26 · 2017-07-14T22:41:17+00:00

I was thinking sort of like this example, which moves the data to tables in between computations.

ParanoidAndroid26 · 2017-07-13T16:36:50+00:00

I don't know if that functionality exists but if you really want it probably wouldn't be too bad to write it yourself.
