@user Python, Excel and VBA

I learned JS on my own in 4th grade, "learned" a tiny bit of Python in an intro CS class last year but it was all very simple stuff I already knew

caird coinheringaahing

For some reason, the "extra curricular projects" that we had available in our CS classes were Excel spreadsheet programs, and VBA macros

Announcement: Langjam, a weekend-long code jam event to create a programming language, starting on August 20th

caird coinheringaahing

Everything else was just Python

Redwolf Programs

When this school year starts (two weeks or so) I'll get to "learn" Java

pxeger

4:25 PM

such fun

Java "is" my "favourite" "programming language"

PyGamer0

CS for me is now pretty much boring

in school

Redwolf Programs

I'm only taking it in school for the free (well, $70 or so) college credit

It's mostly just "do 10m of work then play Minecraft for the rest of class"

caird coinheringaahing

My CS course in high school was interesting, then we switched to the stuff that wasn't really coding (how computers work, what WiFi actually is, internet communications) and I hated it

Redwolf Programs

Sounds like mine last year

There was a bit of scratch and python, but the rest was either that sort of stuff or advertising for AWS

PyGamer0

I already kinda know how computers work at a hardware lvl cause i watched ben eater last year

what is AWS @RedwolfPrograms

caird coinheringaahing

4:28 PM

I've learnt more from Tom Scott's videos on computers than I ever did from my CS class (theory side)

@PyGamer0 Amazon Web Services

Redwolf Programs

@PyGamer0 Amazon Web Services

ninja'd :/

PyGamer0

what does that services do?

caird coinheringaahing

Bezos' attempt to control the internet :P

PyGamer0

lol

caird coinheringaahing

@PyGamer0 It helps spiders in the Amazon rainforest who struggle to catch bugs

Redwolf Programs

4:30 PM

It's mostly cloud hosting for websites and that sort of thing

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing ah yes, the "everything is 10 years out-of-date and every so slightly wrong" syndrome

PyGamer0

ok i must go now.

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger Have you guys heard of the brand new and secure internet protocol called "https"? It's like http but more s

pxeger

and did you know if a website is HTTPS then it's secure, definitely 100% legit and absolutely never phishing?

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing Hey, that was almost my class!

Redwolf Programs

4:35 PM

Comp Sci Principles?

user

We learned binary, ASCII, and started doing Excel formulas, so I thought we'd start programming for real, but then we just did some boring stuff with Word

For the end of the first semester and the entire second semester, we didn't have anything to do, so we'd just finish up homework or play games. Occasionally, the teacher would feel like she wasn't being a good teacher, so she'd force us to play NitroType

@RedwolfPrograms No, Software App Design

caird coinheringaahing

We actually did learn Python, but not a lot of it

user

Lucky

caird coinheringaahing

I used classes in my final project, and was told "yeah, that guarantees you an A"

user

lol

caird coinheringaahing

4:38 PM

They cancelled our project (and all the marks from it) tho cause it got leaked online, and the entire country was doing the same project :/

Redwolf Programs

They didn't even talk about dicts or classes in the python part of my CS class last year

They taught less about python than scratch

caird coinheringaahing

We were taught about dicts, but were then told to use tuple pairs instead :/

user

jeniuz

Redwolf Programs

Tuples? Too advanced a topic for us. :p

user

In my "advanced" CS class in freshman year, we were taught to make new strings using new String("foobar") because the more objects, the more OOP, and the more OOP, the more gooder your program is

hyper-neutrino

4:40 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing i thought it was when you use two or more of HTTP so it's pluralized

user

@hyper-neutrino Yes, the more protocols you use, the more securer it is

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino no that's hhttttpp :P

Redwolf Programs

No, that's HTTP/2

hyper-neutrino

i learned how to use netbeans drag-and-drop interface construction instead of any actually useful CS subjects relating to object oriented programming

pxeger

@RedwolfPrograms no that would be HT because you're halving it

hyper-neutrino

4:41 PM

most of the actual logic in all of the homework assignments could be solved in like 50 bytes of python

user

@hyper-neutrino At least it wasn't BlueJ

hyper-neutrino

@pxeger no it would be (HP)/2 * T

wait no, T^2/2 isn't T

pxeger

@hyper-neutrino I liked to try and right all my answers in single lines lol

user

Wow, such math

hyper-neutrino

this conversation is a mess

user

4:42 PM

~~So am I~~

hyper-neutrino

@pxeger see unfortunately i think i'd lose marks for code style

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms tbf they taught us that tuples were just lists you can't change

hyper-neutrino

i did golf one of my CS assignments for uni for fun but submitted a legit version regardless

user

@pxeger I used to make as many classes and packages as possible lol

hyper-neutrino

the funny thing is the test data was weak so i was actually able to find a cheese solution that just bypassed all of the required knowledge for that assignment

user

4:43 PM

The teacher couldn't even find the main class

hyper-neutrino

but just to be safe, i resubmitted my legit solution after testing my golfed cheese sol just to make sure i wouldn't lose marks :p

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing yes, tuples are immutable (that's PhD-level jargon though so you don't need to know it for the exam don't worry)

caird coinheringaahing

@user class Main?

pxeger

@hyper-neutrino "golfed cheese" wouldn't make sense in any other context

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing No, it was something like Project5, but I explicitly mentioned the main class in the ginormous README the teacher made us make

caird coinheringaahing

4:44 PM

@pxeger "Tuples are lists you can't change": a = (1,2,3); a += (4,5) "sir, it just changed"

user

Imagine using "sir"

Q: Third Stirling numbers of the second kind

\$\left\{ n \atop k \right\}\$ or \$S(n, k)\$ is a way of referring to the Stirling numbers of the second kind, the number of ways to partition a set of \$n\$ items into \$k\$ non-empty subsets.

@user Not to my knowledge

@hyper-neutrino sea pickles

@RedwolfPrograms to align items?

caird coinheringaahing

Redwolf Programs

@pxeger No, to align chickens

user

@pxeger Elaborate, please

hyper-neutrino

man it's been way too long since i've played

user

4:49 PM

@RedwolfPrograms Chickens are items

Redwolf Programs

A triple pickle is just tall enough to put the chickens' heads in the lava, but not the item drops

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger Storytime!

hyper-neutrino

and if i go back to playing, i may likely go play hypixel and still play v1.8

Redwolf Programs

"triple pickle" is fun to say

pxeger

4:50 PM

so uh basically I wanted to hide my flash games so they didn't get deleted, so I generated a "maze" of folders (three levels of a-z, so 26^3 folders) and put them in a hidden folder

caird coinheringaahing

Gather round children, pxeger has a story to tell for TNB storytime :P

user

> put the chickens' heads in the lava

pxeger

...shortly afterwards the disk filled up

...but empty folders don't show as taking up any storage space even though they logically must be stored somewhere

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger Wow, it couldn't handle 26^3 empty folders? Pathetic

pxeger

so they couldn't work out why the disk was full (especially since I put them in a system-hidden folder)

Redwolf Programs

4:51 PM

I hate you now too :p

user

And you didn't tell them about the maze?

pxeger

I didn't know what I was doing

caird coinheringaahing

@user That defeats the point of it

pxeger

@user well no, because then they'd find my illicit stash of flash games

user

@pxeger Wait, who were you hiding them from?

And why?

pxeger

4:52 PM

@user the teachers, who already regularly checked my user area... do I have to tell this story too?

user

Oh, it was at school. Gotcha

caird coinheringaahing

Did they regularly check everyone's user area, or just yours?

user

@pxeger Sure, let's have a second storytime :P

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing nope, just mine

@user sigh

caird coinheringaahing

I installed Firefox when we were only allowed to use Chrome (and more to the point, they didn't want us installing random software)

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing Most of TNB's stars are like that :P

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger You monster!

pxeger

4:54 PM

So they fixed the policy that let me install Firefox...

...and predictably I kept finding new ways of doing it

user

@pxeger Wait, how did you get around it?

I haven't been able to install anything on my school computers :(

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms Have you considered giving Johnny the Vindicator a Fire Aspect axe and just letting him run loose?

Redwolf Programs

Problem is, they'll kill the babies too

pxeger

@user I can't really remember all of it, but I think I made a script that temporarily downloaded it to %APPDATA%

Redwolf Programs

I've heard there's a design using a fox holding a looting fire aspect sword in its mouth

user

4:55 PM

Nice

Redwolf Programs

But I'm too lazy to do that

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms I guess they are vindictive :/

@pxeger I remember installing minecraft on a school computer by copying it onto a USB stick, then copying that onto the computer

For some unrelated reason, they stopped allowing us to use home USB sticks after that

Redwolf Programs

That seems like the worst possible solution to the problem lol

@cairdcoinheringaahing well under ext4 in Linux all folders take up 4096 bytes; assuming roughly the same for Windows NTFS, that's 71991296 ≈ 72 GB

hyper-neutrino

4:58 PM

@RedwolfPrograms i mean i can't say i'd expect a school/school board to ever implement a reasonable solution to anything :p

caird coinheringaahing

One of my mates uploaded some program to the shared file system that we used to allow us to access school documents from home, and then installed it onto the school computer and they couldn't figure out how to stop people doing that

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah a friend of mine did basically what I did with Firefox, but with Minecraft (and a pirated version at that) and spread it round the school, including default settings to connect to a server he hosted on a raspberry pi at his house

hyper-neutrino

my middle school once had apple computers, and since applescript basically can do whatever, someone set up an applescript program that just kept spamming folders into a specific directory

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino We had a couple of problems that were solved somewhat reasonably, but nothing big

user

I can't tell if the tech guys at my school are more competent than yours or if y'all are more competent than me. I literally can't even access the terminal in the computer labs here

pxeger

5:00 PM

@user oh nor could we, officially speaking

hyper-neutrino

and it happens that in order to sync files no matter which computer you log in on, the file system is online

so eventually, that program not only crashed that computer, but the entire computer network across two schools

caird coinheringaahing

@user Oh we had full batch access on the school windows computers for about a year before someone ruined it

user

Oh wow

pxeger

but naturally I found ways to get to cmd and powershell lol

hyper-neutrino

terminal was blocked but pretty much anyone that knows how to use batch realized you could just create a .bat file that reads input and execs it, and then you just have command line :)

I once found a way to scrape the user IDs and default passwords of every student in the district (40k+ students)...in 2nd grade

hyper-neutrino

...how

user

I got access to cmd using IntelliJ, which was installed on the computers in one lab, but I can't execute anything there, so it's useless :/

caird coinheringaahing

Someone got in trouble for "downloading more ram" because their search history was literally only downloadmoreram.com :P

user

@RedwolfPrograms Was your school just dumb or are you some prodigy who was damaged by JS?

Redwolf Programs

@hyper-neutrino They had some sort of shared folder for every single one, with a username. The default passwords were based on their birthdays, which you could access.

hyper-neutrino

sEekuRiTeE

hyper-neutrino

idk if i would've done more stupid stuff when i was younger but unfortunately (for me; fortunately for everyone else probably) i wasn't really allowed to use a computer all that much until like grade 4 and i started learning JS in like grade 5 (i think i did some coding in grade 4 but it was probably scratch)

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms Our profiles on the homework system were https://url.com/user_id/path/to/domain. Turned out that if you just changed user_id you'd be able to see other people's homework and stuff (but only in read-only mode, no uploading)

user

I entered sixth grade near the end of the year at my middle school, so I didn't have a password or anything. After a few days of sharing a computer with another kid, they sent me to get a password. Tried signing in, didn't work. Went back after a while, turned out they gave me someone else's password without even checking if our IDs were the same :/

caird coinheringaahing

Our school systems really weren't good, and I'm wouldn't be surprised if their strategy was "ok, create a barebones system, wait for the students to find exploits and fix them"

Redwolf Programs

5:04 PM

Somebody else I know figured out a way to get a bunch of other information (like photos, full name, etc.) from some other site, I think it was some math game, so I'm quite glad nobody figured out to combine my findings with theirs and scrape the PII of like 20k people

user

Something similar happened at our school where some kid at our school got access to everyone's grades or something, along with personal information (birth dates, phone numbers). Made the local news

Redwolf Programs

Quite funny how the place specifically intended to make people smart is perhaps one of the stupidest :p

user

Oh, and our passwords for Naviance were the same as our usernames (which were our student IDs and are publicly available). When a few of us pointed this out, the teachers were like "We trust you not to make bad decisions"

After ^^^, they made our passwords the same as our passwords for all our other accounts (not great, but at least safer than just using usernames)

Redwolf Programs

You couldn't reset them?

user

No, they wanted our counselors to be able to access them

Redwolf Programs

5:09 PM

We were given random 12 char strings as passwords, then immediately ordered to change them

user

@RedwolfPrograms We were given 6-char strings in middle school, 8 in high school, but we're not allowed to reset them or really change any settings

Redwolf Programs

@user yikes...that's probably not the right way to do that

user

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ When has that mattered? :P

@user Which also means that they keep our actual passwords and not hashes (or at least used to)

our default passwords were just our user IDs

which was a 9-digit number

user

Brilliant

hyper-neutrino

5:14 PM

our usernames were the first 4 letters of our last name + our first initial + the last four digits of our user ID

yes, the same ID as the password

class/exam results were posted by just having the grades next to the user ID

user

"It's not a security vulnerability, we just value honesty and transparency!"

Redwolf Programs

Our passwords were our birthdays, formatted YYYYMMDD

hyper-neutrino

this means that since it's easy to get a list of everyone's name in your class and then you can just look up their email address in the directory by typing those 5 letters (which only gives a few results max, usually just 1)

then you can go to the exam sheet and get their grades

and then know their exact user ID

and then next year you can just steal their account if you want

@RedwolfPrograms wtf

user

@hyper-neutrino Wait, they didn't show up separately for each person? Did you have some kind of bulletin?

@hyper-neutrino Hey, more secure than just user IDs

Maybe the mod swag contains some cryptic instructions that lead you on a treasure hunt all around the world, until you discover a massive hidden bunker where SE employees hunt down users' personal information

Then in a startling turn of events, you'll turn against them after realizing it's wrong, then form a team of experts who work with you to bring down the organization from the inside, culminating in a massive battle with the CEO

This answer on Codidact literally claims the language it uses is English (yes, that one)

Oh wait, works as intended

Huh, why's that intended?

It appears that you take different amounts of damage depending on the depth

hyper-neutrino

so, how it reasonably should work :p

pxeger

except for surface tension which ought to mean that from >100m or something you take damage no matter the depth

Redwolf Programs

Nonsense, 6cm of water should protect me from a 1km drop :p

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger Has anyone ever jumped into lava from >100m to test surface tension?

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing well you could drop something other than a live person if you wanted to test it

Cause lava is different from water, so maybe the surface tension effect is different

@pxeger Nonsense, how will we know what happens to people then?

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing Lava is more viscous than water (in real life and in minecraft) so you'd take even more probably

(ignoring the fact that you'd always die pretty much instantly in real life and there is no fire protection lol)

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, you burn to death in the air above the lava as you fall :P

Real life Nether would literally be hell :P

> So if you fell into a pool of Lava you wouldn't sink, but you would burst into flames.

Source - Guess minecraft is very wrong :P

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing Yeah, let's throw caird into lava to see what happens

CMP: Should caird be thrown into lava? :P

(for legal reasons that's a ~~scientific experiment~~ joke)

@user You seem to be forgetting one thing: I am very clearly a dog, and we need to test this with a person :P

user

Of course! I nominate hyper-neutrino to receive this great honor

caird coinheringaahing

He's a neutrino tho :P Who here is actually a person?

ATO

@cairdcoinheringaahing definitely me
