The age-old question between `DD/MM/YYYY` or `MM/DD/YYYY`.

After some shower thoughts, my new preference is `YYYY/MM/DD` for Americans and Lithuanians (only 2 that I know) it just looks like the year has been placed first, otherwise, they read it as normal. To everyone else, the date is reversed and therefore will be read in reverse leading to the same answer.

In addition, `YYYY/MM/DD/some-dated-file` as a file path works exceptionally well for storing files as it uses the least amount of repetition.

Just pushed my first ever ticket to production! AAAND on top of that, did not take down our entire system. 😅

Microsoft revoked my GitHub Copilot Beta licence because it is now available for everyone for $10/month :(

Fuck you Microsoft

You know that you life has gone to shit when you type "p" into your browser and the first thing that comes up is "postresql"

Why is there no language that can run on a GPU, not considering GLSL and the such as they're shader languages and are only used for that.

Doing e-learning for a job

One of the examples provided:
"You could be late for work (fail to meet your objective of being on time) because you're hit by a car whilst crossing the road"

Are you fucking kidding me, I think being late to work would be the least of my worries. Fuck corporate bullshit.

Honestly so fucking excited, been going through the application process to start a (UK) level 4 apprenticeship and I am through to the last round! Got my last interview with the programming team in January when I'll know if I got it or not.

Are we alright to use the profile pictures generated by devRant on other websites? Really love the style :)

Been wondering about something and can't figure out if I am a retard or a genius 😂.

If MD5 is so outdated and should not be used to store password hashes (let's say for whatever reason you cannot effectively switch to another algorithm) wouldn't it just be easier and more secure to just re-encrypt the hash again, so just MD5 the MD5 hash... in theory, wouldn't that make the hash virtually uncrackable because instead of trying to brute force actual real words, you now have a hash of essentially random characters which have no relation to the others, and even then, suppose you manage to crack the hash, you will get another hash to crack before getting to the password?

I was looking through some shader videos and wanted to see how hard it is to write one, and after some research I am now confused.

Are shades just basically fancy filters like black and white filters and those shitty Snapchat colour filters or is there a particular trait with shaders that diffferes them from filters that I am missing?

I always thought that shaders were all about ray tracing/marching and obtaining the effects that way.

2 days ago I started solving the problems on https://projecteuler.net/ recommended to me by @AlmondSauce and I already regret knowing python, a relatively simple calculation -ish took roughly 4 hours to compute

Hey, getting bored here, does anyone know of any cool API's that provide computing puzzles, decyphering, math shit like that.

For example, one of the ones that I have completed is the

and

I'd like something along those lines
Cheers!

I decided to run the ROCKYOU password list to see if there are any patterns in md5 hashing, not sure why but I am starting to confuse myself and I need a new pair of eyes to have a look.

in advance, sorry for the shitty image, that lappy is a temporary solution.

So the very accurate and not bias numbers show that the letter "0" appears more than the rest, would there be any use in let's say ordering the wordlist with words that have the most "0" and "7" in their hash to appear at the top?

I believe I might be trying to stretch the numbers and see a pattern where there is none but its worth a shot I think.

Note:
- These numbers come from only about ~14m words

My thinking trail is that if statisticaly these hashes are more likely to appear, they are more likely to be the one I am looking for?

Just wanted to remind everyone to remember to backup their files 🙂.

Ubuntu just crashed, had to reinstall the OS, luckily for me, I did all my backups and probably lost 30 seconds worth of work.

So I got Python under the belt, been messing around with it for quite a while (2-3 years now :p) and I am bored of it now,

What is a pretty fun programing language that's somewhat challenging to get around?

I was planning on learning c++ next since it sounds like fun but please do suggest your favourites

bit of an old one but in school we had a photoshop contest

I came 1st

I used only PowerPoint and Publisher

What do you all think about my first ever brainfuck program?

I have had an interesting idea, create a script that runs every now and then to change my github profile picture, now I've been scouring google and stack overflow for hours and can't find a simple way to do it, or anyway for that matter.

QUESTION: Is there a simple way of changing your github profile picture using a programing language

I'd prefer python but I am open to others.

in the middle of college class, always : /

I just finished my first commit of "3D Rendering Engine" <-- Best way I can call it I think.

QUESTION:
If I have a list of nodes with x, y, z values that I am projecting to a 2D plane, how would I rotate the whole list around the top (y) axis?

I am using python

If you are interested, here's the GitHub Repo:
https://github.com/hamolicious/...

what do you all think about a game jam but instead of having 24hrs+ you only get 5 hours? I've been wondering how this would be seen and whether this a good idea, so I came here to see your thoughts

https://banfacialrecognition.com/fe...

What? is this an actual thing people believe? Racially biase?? It's a fucking computer, it couldn't give less of a shit about what colour you're let alone what you do/don't believe. Am I missing something or have people completely gone fucked?

I understand the whole problem with Google that they don't have enough darker skin face samples which might make it a little worse at recognising them but wtf?

PS - Sorry if this shouldn't be a rant, wasn't sure it it's random or not

What would be the best tips for keeping code clean?

I recently noticed how "unclean" my code is, I try to organize it as much as possible but through that I manage to make the code very messy :/
What are your best tips, advise, tricks... lalala?

Note:
This problem mainly applies to long projects and games :P

3 REWRITES, 3 GOD DAMN REWRITES. Just decided that A* Path Finding Algorithm looks nice and felt like sure lets have a go...

3 REWRITES to get it right and even then there are minor bugs, sometimes coding is my passion, other times I wish I didn't know how to turn a PC on :/
