Ugh I keep getting memory bounds errors, time to fire up the dodecahedron
Just don’t look directly at it for too long or it’ll cause a buffer overflow in your brain and you’ll start yelling out your private keys instead of saying words.
Snow Crash, is that you?
Was THAT what was on this USB stick the crazy dude at the bar sold me…? Things make so much more … HAIL ENKI, GOD OF -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,6784434422A3B98781F157CFCEA6FA3D

And encryption is when you fondle a holographic semi-transparent ball with your fingers.
That’s not the kind of ball-fondling I had in mind.
Fellas, is it gay to decrypt?
Only if your bits touch.
What if they byte?
That’s kinda how hacking in half life alyx works, the vr game, it feels a lot better than the ol’ lockpicking in pancake games
pancake games
I’ve never heard of non-vr games referred to as this before. It’s clever!
Somewhat relatedly, I also learned just yesterday that some flat tumors are called pancake tumors. I didn’t really enjoy learning that one, though. :(
Bad pancake
No syrup
This encryption is so strong, not even the inventor can crack it!
Live your dreams :)
It is best paired with this: https://hackertyper.net/
I remember way back in uni at a hackathon, our table had a projector on it so of course we connected to it and set up Hacker Typer to auto play and keep typing out gibberish. But then some sponsor walked on by and stared, visibly impressed by what was happening. It wasn’t until they asked for a picture that we realized they had never seen Hacker Typer before. And yes, we took the picture without telling them what it was.
The bottom is also on a transparent screen
Can you imagine the eye strain one would get programming on a translucent screen every day? One where your always having to keep your eyes focused on semi transparent text and graphical interfaces in the foreground, and not the distracting and ever changing background, continuously shifting in parallax as you adjust your head and viewing angle. Not having my display buttressed up against a wall, or having to deal with glare and screen reflections, or even low contrast monitors in general are all things I find infuriating already.
But I guess the Sci-Fi future of ergonomics is holograms. *You must have your migraines, and you must enjoy them.
Speaking of eye strain, there’s the hilarious related trope that every helmet in a movie shines bright light into the face of the helmet’s wearer.
It’s pretty obvious why they do it: they want the faces of the actors to be visible. But, I can’t help but imagine how stupid it would be to have a light shining in the eyes of an astronaut when they work on something in the darkness of space.
sudo apt install hollywoodIt’s also on the AUR. Hilarious package. Would be fun to somehow turn into a screensaver
So you’re saying you program without a translucent mini map showing your location or whatever? Shame on you.
I have solved the problem of knowing were I am all the time by buying a mirror.
Sometimes I think the ideas of the creators of movies and TV series like this is to try to see what’s the most absurd and out of place thing they can push without anyone not in IT noticing. Moreover oftentimes the primary thing is entertainment, not factual accuracy.
Apparently, it is a thing on at least one show. NCIS once showed two people using the same keyboard at the same time.
to counterhack faster, obviously. and then someone came in and just pulled the plug out of the monitor, which obviously stopped the hacker.
There is an answer to the question that you are not asking, and it’s the scene from NCIS where TWO people are furiously typing on ONE keyboard so that they can “hack faster”
The primary thing is entertainment. They have to make something that is entertaining to watch. For example even explosions are exaggerated. In movies they contain much more fire than they usually contain.
Dammit I overworked the flux capacitor again!
Oh well, time to turn it off and on again.
you are gonna need an energy reverser for that one
ooorrrrr
git checkout -f master 🙃
I’ve been playing around with Grafana alot lately so my screens do look closer to the second. Except not such a disordered jumble so it doesn’t have any where near the same wow factor
Screenshot?
you guys use an IDE? I’m just using the terminal with tmux.
That’s what I do.
I have been trapped in vi and I don’t know how to escape.
Send help.
just reboot the machine. problem solved!
you can not escape vi
one does not simply leave vi
You’re trapped in vi
I’m trapped in ed
We are not the same
?
(I was making a joke about how if you screw up in ed it just prints
?)🥹 Smart enough to know ed exists, too dumb to get the jokes
vi
I thought this was about sound engineers and producers because the bottom image is a reality for them lmfao
the 80s hacking equivalent of Subway Surfer clips
I can see the bottom one being used to debug some kind of physics simulation neural network
Some parts of it could be useful for cloud engineering
