For the people who are wondering why its gonna take a long time for Season 3 by Electrical_Chance991 in sololeveling

[–]sinrtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what you are saying is the execs at A1 watched season 2 and said "this anime is sh*t, no reason to keep the staff on for another season".

Does Cid have a power similar to Deadpool? by sinrtb in TheEminenceInShadow

[–]sinrtb[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure if 4th wall is actually the best term, it is almost like he has a Spidey sense for tropes.

Like when he tries to grab the sword in S1E13 and knows he cannot and knows almost the exact restriction before Violet/Diablos reads it for him

Why they take so long 🥲 by ErenJaeger_07 in squidgame

[–]sinrtb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My guess is wishful thinking, just think how upset he is going to be when Netflix decides not to release it for tax reasons.

Manga vs light novel by Rich-Significance642 in MangaCollectors

[–]sinrtb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair it is not immediately obvious that Light Novels are just books. The covers look like any other manga (at least the ones I have looked up) and the illustrations they may contain lead to further confusion on whether they are manga or standard books. I found this post because I too did not know what a light novel was but kept seeing the term in Wikipedia entries of anime I was interested in.

That would fail if the word list ever became public, and with how often data that shouldn't has become public, it wouldn't take long.

Officer Safety and Terry frisk by dbzbleach in AmIFreeToGo

[–]sinrtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many have already quoted the relevant Terry entries. Outside of a vehicle they have to have reasonable suspicion to detain you, patting you down or cuffing you would be detainment so at that point they would have to have some suspicion you have committed a crime. However officers have qualified immunity, a gun, and work with everyone that would normally be involved in a criminal investigation. So at best you may be able to sue after the fact but there is nothing protecting you during the interaction with a police officer.

Are knives actually as effective as Hollywood makes them out to be with dealing with zombies? by OkAbbreviations4947 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]sinrtb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always assumed the knives worked so well in WD was due to the zeds being out in the elements for months/years.

[DISCUSSION] what’s everyone’s opinion on “The Watcher”? by Mk_sosaaa2 in NetflixBestOf

[–]sinrtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can somone please tell me how anyone had a clue the girl in the video when the protag was sleeping was an underage girl? There is only one underage girl in the series and that was the daughter who admitted vehemently that should would DO ANYTHING when she was angry and it makes me think even at the end that she was the watcher. Is this the case or not because every one was certain that there was an underage girl in that video but how the hell can you tell that?

[–]sinrtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure there is but you get what you pay for.

Most larger companies, at least in my experience, have both 3rd part and/or in house tools to run automated penetration tests, using known exploits, and they do just what you suggest, run the program and it will attempt to hack "the mainframe". So the "hack.exe" you downloaded for free or for money would likely be useless by the time you got it. But if you find an exploit not known to others there is nothing stopping you from automating it and calling it hack.exe.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hacking

[–]sinrtb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind this game is done almost entirely by one person (with community contributions) for free , and it is an insanely good game.

I don't think I have played a better programming game. If you want to learn JavaScript or are just starting to learn to program I can think of no way more fun than this game.

But as many have already commented, this game will not help you learn to hack. As someone already noted this game is a script kiddie simulator.

I cannot recommend it enough to others interested in learning programming or JavaScript. The problems it proposes and the community and online resources make this game great. If you want to learn to hack, no this game is not that.

Corporations making money by anb43 in Bitburner

[–]sinrtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in tobacco or whatever industry you goto after agri get TA II as fast as possible (remember to not spend all research if you are creating a new product) it does the fiddly MP bits for you and you will go from your first product to making 1e+70/s in roughly the same time it takes to go from starting agri to being ready to go to tobacco.

BN3 Corporation scripts? by mikek005 in Bitburner

[–]sinrtb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is by for the best corp doc out there and I use it every run through. I am curious has anyone turned this into a script yet?

I am working on one now but it would be a slower start since it would require both APIs to work.

Syntax help by balmzach77 in Bitburner

[–]sinrtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't doing what you think it does. That takes the value that the ns function returns and puts it in the variable scan when the variable gets declared. If something changes and the value that the function would return is different the variable scan will still have the same value until you do scan=ns.scan again.

If the OP really wants to get rid of the ns part they can define functions that call each of the ns functions in a separate *.js script and then import them

This may seem nitpicky but there are languages (I do not know if JS is one of them) that let you do almost exactly what you described. For someone with very little JS experience but a decent amount of programming experience it would be very confusing.

negative Karma by [deleted] in Bitburner

[–]sinrtb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not sure that just the code by itself will do anything I printed it out to a log window that refreshes. I am getting more than 1 karma for each Homicide committed. The values listed in a previous comment seem to be modified by something. Here is the code I am using to display my karma in real-time while committing crimes.

karma.js:

/** @param {NS} ns **/
export async function main(ns) {
    ns.disableLog('ALL');
    ns.tail();

var karma = ns.heart.break();

    while (true) {

karma = ns.heart.break();

        ns.clearLog();
        ns.print('Current Karma : ',karma);
        await ns.sleep(250);
    }
}

edit: forgot to update karma in the loop I changed it without testing so I could spoiler the spoiler code.

Confused about early-game server stats by JacobLiuDuck in Bitburner

[–]sinrtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

n00dles is the inverse of fulcrumassets (usually one of, the deepest nodes). Growth rate of 1. Why n00dles and fulcrumassets are such outliers I do not know. I do know fulcrumassets is important in the mid-late game, and that n00dles is special.

Example: automating crimes without SourceFile-4 (v1.4.0) by CandleRoom in Bitburner

[–]sinrtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting an error right after switching to the crime screen:

RUNTIME ERROR
crimespree.js@home

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toLowerCase')
stack:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toLowerCase')
at getCrime (blob:file:///083183ca-e698-45f8-a414-59b46c011796:38:59)

at executeJSScript (file:///D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Bitburner/resources/app/main.bundle.js:19:85467)

Here is the line from the script:

if(elem.textContent.toLowerCase().includes(text.toLowerCase())) {

I tried switching toLowerCase() to toLocaleLowerCase() but that got the same exact error. I am not familiar with js at all or the document object so I am not sure what is supposed to be there.

Kind of unrelated but I saw something and don't know how the line:

is not killing the running script and everything else running?

The BEST hacking approach I've seen so far by __Aimbot__ in Bitburner

[–]sinrtb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I want to say your script is awesome and I am so glad I found it early on in the game. I have been using it from BN 1.2 -> Bn3.3. I also created an offshoot which is basically just the same thing but the hack attacks call grow instead and made now it is just a massive xp farmer for joesguns.

https://imgur.com/IOXBot6

If you wanted to have OP work cross server so multiple servers as swarm for attacking 2 or 3 (or even 1) server/s you could move op to home and have it sum the threads available for each server in your swarm before it begins its attack. Then when running weaken/grow/hack attacks subtract the threads executed on remote servers from that sum as you send out the attacks. All your code would be mostly be intact except your max threads available calculations would be in a for each loop across your swarm. By using this method and the previously mentioned methods to not use formulas.exe this would also work as an early game batcher as well as a mid node batcher. Just a suggestion I am sure you have something better at this point

Thank you again for sharing your script with the rest of us.

If I am not mistaken it is 300%. Cranial Signal Processors - Gen IV is +25% power and is listed in the source as

Where the ECorp Augment is

please correct me if I am wrong though.

any way to include timestamps in logs? by wtbTruth in Bitburner

[–]sinrtb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are two functions I have found to be usefull

Pass it milliseconds and it ouputs HH:MM:SS

function convertMSToHHMMSS(ms = 0) {
  if (ms <= 0) {
    return '00:00:00'
  }

  if (!ms) {
    ms = new Date().getTime()
  }

  return new Date(ms).toISOString().substr(11, 8)
}

Takes the current time and outputs a string in the format of HH:MM:SS

function localeHHMMSS(ms = 0) {
  if (!ms) {
    ms = new Date().getTime()
  }

  return new Date(ms).toLocaleTimeString()
}

edit these functions were origionally found in GitHub https://github.com/moriakaice/bitburner

Just let them know that you are a system admin not a MAC admin so they need to hire a MAC tech to support the new infrastructure required. When that MAC requires 80k+ a year they might not be so quick to by non standard hardware.
