what makes you think the tesla.com website is where they keep their real code lol?
Re:Tesla.com/.gitignore on Friday November 25, 2022 @06:56PM (#33748314)
you could theoretically social engineer until you find something to exploit

ie, if the file said to ignore "/site/adminpasswords.txt" then you could go to /site/adminpasswords.txt and reveal admin passwords. this is obviously a simple eli5 explanation but i hope it helps

however, i doubt the tesla.com website is where they keep any important code that relates to actual tesla software like we would see used in cars. that would be like the army having their real code for their software/systems at goarmy.com lol

>If your life is so good you will be happier than any substance could make you feel

this is massively false because nothing compares to injecting heroin which is why its so hard to quit and life becomes dull once clean

thats what is currently happening with keffals. not that kf is equivalent to HN or the like in terms of being nice, but this keffals isnt just a random trans person they latched on to and decided to harass. they (keffals) have done some seriously immoral stuff
Re:Tell HN: Sites like Kiwifarms are destroying free speech on Tuesday September 06, 2022 @08:15AM (#32736066)
yeah but they have no reason to doxx you. you're just a regular person. if it turned out you supplied life changing drugs to minors behind their parents backs that were brewed in your bathtub, maybe then you'd have a problem. they dont just see a trans person and then decide to harass them
if u go up it looks like there is a `debug_trampoline` function. so they are saying the `debug_trampoline_end` is a precompiled version of the `debug_trampoline` one. not sure if this is true or not

how do u measure users without sign up? if i want somebody to invest in my website i need to say "i have x amount of users", which i can run a sql or whatever db i have command to see. a fake email takes 2-3 minutes to make.

Re:Mojang to Require a Microsoft Account to Play Minecraft on Tuesday March 01, 2022 @12:20PM (#30516910)
from what i can tell, mojang is not requiring anybody to do anything. microsoft, however, is making people migrate from mojang accounts to microsoft accounts.

just by looking at the homepage, i see nothing helpful. what does the website do? no idea. i'd suggest being more descriptive on the home page
>There was recently a member there who was banned from ... simply for being a member

this is false. you can't tell if another user is subscribed to another subreddit.

doesn't happen to me on chrome

i think that happens because of cookies, if they're cleared you get logged out. do you have settings on firefox that do that? i don't use it so can't tell you.

>e.g. locking the user out and prompting them to install an app

this has never happened to me in 5+ years of using reddit

Oh, I wasn't talking about you. You were helpful.
i hate how americans always assume we are from there and understand everything they say

whenever i have cake, i tend to eat it also?

it goes from medium.com to itnext.io

why not just use the itnext.io link?

Re:Boyfriend-alert – A light based alert system on Monday January 31, 2022 @09:00AM (#30147922)
I work for a large tech company 10-12 hours a day + 2-4 hours at home and I could never see my girlfriend needing a SOS light to get my attention.
Re:Boyfriend-alert – A light based alert system on Monday January 31, 2022 @08:50AM (#30147819)
Are people seriously this tied in to their computers? I'd hate to see myself get to the point where I don't have time for women and need to be beeped in order to pay attention.

Nice to see dang venturing out!

Can you give example searches? OP provides none so we can't reproduce.
I feel bad for the new hire who wasn't entirely sure what he was doing. Something similar happened at reddit[0], wouldn't put it past google.
