Re:DEF CON 2019 – CTF Retrospective on Saturday August 24, 2019 @10:48AM (#20787403)
Yes! I've been looking for this since the conference ended. I love reading about this CTF it sounds so awesome (they got to play DOOM on an original Xbox this year!) If I had one "hacker dream" it's that I'd one day be a part of it, but I don't think that's gonna happen so I'll stick with doing my pico CTF problems and reading about these tough CTFs
My school has blackboard for awhile now, I've always suspected it to be vulnerable but never really tested it. Particularly, you can make forum posts and view/edit the HTML that the WYSIWYG editor creates. This always made me feel like there's probably an XSS vulnerability there

> Honestly, they should have done exactly that. Flag their content and ban them. Then go to the capitol. And when some politician asks, "why was I banned?" Tell them honestly, your statements were determined to be extremist by the same algorithm that bans Al Qaeda and ISIS from posting. Then sit back and watch the real fireworks go off.

> Just because they have a political title does not mean we have to respect anything that

A big company like Google would want to be on the repubs good side because the Republican party is the ones who support mega corporation like them

I think he's mad about !important, maybe he uses an extension to add css to the page, perhaps to make dark mode

Take discord for example: you can only post a file of certain size, but you can post unlimited text
My boss doesn't know anything about software development (cause I'm a student with a part-time job in an unrelated field)

Look I'm not asking for the most modern bloated web design, I like simplicity, but that website looks pretty outdated an ugly for a modern web browser. As a user if their website looks that outdated why should I trust their browser?

People had more time to read I guess (or maybe now we do all our reading on the internet)

One of the first mascots I thought of was the lizard from Open Suse. I'm surprised that's not in there. Any reason why?

Re:Python: Even a Feature That You Do Not Use Can Bite You on Saturday February 23, 2019 @10:32AM (#19233723)
Ok I don't really see the issue. You could just as easily write x is 42 as x: 42 and you have the same issue. it's not really a language problem. If you see keyerror, you should know that that value didn't properly get added to the dictionary. When investigating why, you should see your error of using the wrong operator. Language is functioning properly
