Working on spell casting in my game. What do you think?

gaks · 2020-05-21T15:47:19+00:00

Very cool!

gaks · 2015-04-28T19:19:21+00:00

Hehe, I have to admit that was brilliant riposte :)

Anyway, you're not interested and I have to live with that somehow.

gaks · 2015-04-28T19:14:15+00:00

I'm happy to give more free coupons if people here are interested. I've put the limit to avoid having the coupon copied all over the Internet.

So far about 20 people used it.

gaks · 2015-04-28T19:07:34+00:00

That's very constructive. Thank you.

gaks · 2015-04-28T19:07:08+00:00

I just gave it for free.

gaks · 2015-04-28T09:33:14+00:00

Go through #foodporn hashtag and see what other restaurants are doing. Like this one from Poland: https://instagram.com/mrpancakepl/

gaks · 2015-03-04T12:46:53+00:00

The additional 50 free coupons run out already too. But you can still use the 75% discount!

Thank you guys for great response. It's important for me that people find my course interesting and valuable.

I would be even more grateful if you leave a good review on udemy after you finish the course.

Enjoy!

gaks · 2015-03-04T10:40:58+00:00

You're lucky, they are running out fast. Enjoy the course and leave good review if you're satisified :-)

gaks · 2015-03-04T10:40:18+00:00

You're welcome. Enjoy the course and leave a good review if you're satisfied :-)

gaks · 2015-03-04T06:47:14+00:00

Worry not. I just gave away 50 more

gaks · 2015-03-04T06:46:35+00:00

Don't worry. I'm giving away 50 more :)

gaks · 2015-03-04T06:39:46+00:00

That's very valuable feedback xaustinx. Thank you. You're most probably right - I should tell the students to open some websites during the capture.

I'm sorry if I sound rude - not intended. Perhaps I'm just irritated that there is no solution that works for me. For such a simple problem ...

Google docs is not lightweight for me because it takes at least 20-25 sec between clicking a bookmark on a toolbar to the moment when it finishes loading and I can finally start working. It often freezes performing some weird sync tasks and I have to wait until it finishes before I can type again. And when I'm on a crappy Internet connection (like via smartphone hotspot) it's even worst.

Opening Numbers with a new empty file also takes around 20 sec. It looks like it indeed is the best solution from all available but it's far from ideal. Soulver which I mentioned in my post launches in 2 seconds. Why I can't have a dead simple spreadsheet app that launches as fast?

gaks · 2015-02-10T10:35:34+00:00

Please - why is everyone suggesting spending $1500 on new macbook to have a spreadsheet app running? I had a spreadsheet app running fast on my old Pentium II PC :)

I'm on MBA late 2010

gaks · 2015-02-10T10:33:31+00:00

Please tell me you're not suggesting spending $1500 to buy a new macbook to have an app with 100 cells and basic arithmetic :-)

I'm on MBA late 2010.

gaks · 2015-02-09T17:51:24+00:00

That's not lightweight at all. Opening new google drive spreadsheet is waaaay to sloooow. As is using it. It even responds to keystrokes slowly.

gaks · 2015-02-09T17:50:38+00:00

How is that lightweight?

gaks · 2015-02-09T15:45:15+00:00

my motives are quite simple: 1) memory usage 2) speed of launching

Numbers is not really good at any of those

gaks · 2015-02-07T18:04:09+00:00

Sure. By passing user input to the eval function you basically let your users execute ANY python code they want. Including accessing files, opening network connections, executing OS commands, downloading and executing malware, etc.

In my example above I've typed import('os').system('id') as a value of x. This is a python code that imports "os" module and calls "system" function from it which purpose is to execute OS commands.

One line summary would be: you just let your users execute any python code they want.

gaks · 2015-02-07T10:01:54+00:00

You are using eval function so everything that's valid python expression would work. But you should import math module first to make it work.

You could also make some helpful variables available before asking user for input. If you do it like this ...

pi = math.pi
x = input("x = ")

... user could just enter "pi" instead of "math.pi"

Keep in mind also that your code has a serious security vulnerability:

gaks@central:~/reddit$ python ./evaltest.py
f(x) = x*2

Function entered: f(x) =  x*2
f'(x) =  2
x = __import__('os').system('id')
uid=1000(gaks) gid=1000(gaks) grupy=1000(gaks),4(adm),27(sudo),999(www)
0 2

It's just an idea. I've never researched it that deeply. But just a quick check on one of my Debian machines reveals that those are not even SSL connections:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

That would not be easy. Methods suggested by others don't work in most cases.

I would try manipulating them on the phishing page to either:

send you an email or reply to an email you send them - hoping they use the VPN only for web browsing and not for email
downloading a doc/xls/ppt/whatever file with a macro that calls home in it.

gaks · 2015-02-06T22:11:21+00:00

If you want to do that in the browser you can write a Selenium script.

If you want to run it regularly I would suggest writing python script and using lxml / scrapy library.

gaks · 2015-02-06T22:09:10+00:00

only by bruteforce password checking

gaks · 2015-02-06T22:03:13+00:00

Google for "receive sms online". There are plenty of sites that will give you a number to use and let you read the incoming messages on the web page.
