C# isn't simply garbage collected.
C# is garbage. Hot garbage that needs to be collected.
Bold and brash? More like belongs in the trash!
In other news I'm now making $20+ an hour ($16 after taxes) turning bolts for a living. Fucking bolts.
More money than I ever made in my life before.
I don't know if this should be a happy statement or a sad one.
The minimum wage in 1963 worked out to 23 dollars an hour, so hey, I can't be doing too bad.14 -
So a while back I had found a hole in a website's security, one that I has used pretty frequently. I was able to change my cookies and become any user I wanted. The only caveat was that I had to log in as a user in order to get things started. But once I was in I could basically be anyone I wanted to be just by changing a few numbers in the user ID of the cookie. They also did all of their user processing on the client side. Even password checks.
A couple weeks back I decided to go back in to see if anything had changed since then. It did! But not in the way I had thought.
So these guys decided that instead of fixing their security hole, they would have users just contact their people directly in order to get a new account.
Wow that's so much fucking overhead for basically being a lazy shit and not fixing the security holes. I mean how bad is your architecture if you can't go in and fix this?
Not only that I found that they actually stripped all of the users of their original subscriptions. So now if you want to get back on your subscription you'll have to fork over another $399. So that means going to their shitty form filling out your name, your number, email, and just hope that someone contacts you via phone call.
I'm glad I dropped this service. They clearly can't get their shit together.rant hackerman what the fuck are you doing bold and brash it's all shit more like belongs in the trash front end is shit back end is shit
