I prefer the answer of giving the giy the reins and letting him get it so riddled with viruses then when he calls for support replying “sorry, your property your problem. You have absolute dominion over it and thus we give no warranty as we have no responsibility.”

Not that I know of. In the end you are editing the browser rendering parameters. Anyone can inspect the page and see that the opacity on the page is being turned down. Finding where it is happening is the only thing you can really make hard. Have a couple of the pass through scripts be machine generated and you can have it use nonsensical variable names and a bunch of dummies that lead on wild goose chases. It could all be fixable, but you can make it a pain in the ass. Add a redundancy or two and it will make debugging a nightmare because even if one is fixed, the others will make it look as though it has not.

The real answer is to have NEVER do freelance web development inside the client’s firewall. Never. If they try to require it, walk away. If it is inside their firewall then they can just take the source code and stiff you. If they try to spout some BS about security, say that is precisely what you are concerned about and point blank ask them what safeguards they are willing to allow you to put in place for developing in their system. If the answer is none, walk. If they are willing to let you VPN in, run the code from a local copy over the VPN and node lock it so if someone attempts to serve it from another machine it fails.

Apologies. I’m tired and hate businesses taking advantage of “Independent Contractors”.

Bury it six JavaScript and 2 php scripts deep so it is a pain in the ass to find.

As hard as it is and as much as I would like help, I am so happy to be the only Dev in my company capable of working on my projects and to have bosses who essentially give me carte blanch on how to code and deal with issues.

“A company should be able to decide not to do business with individuals for ideological reasons.”

Twitter, Facebook, etc. start filtering misinformation and banning offenders.

“Mah freedoms are being infringed!”

Gotta love this shit. Conservatives/companies: “Let the market decide!” The market: “We are tired of you cramming ads down our throats and fundamentally do not want it and will actively fight you on it.” Companies: “Waaaaaa, they are fighting us.”

I have had to stop telling people that HTML is not a programming language. I crushed too many souls that way.

It would be of the state flags, with resolution and compression determined by the state supreme courts obviously.

We can use bits instead of bytes. That way it can look 8x bigger than it really is and have no real bearing to modern computing.

I had some dude here trying to tell me, a mathematician and data scientist who is developing AIs for fun and is a holder of an MA in Visual Effects specializing in procedural design, who has worked on algorithmic video game development, what AIs are or are going to be capable of in procedural/generative/algorithmic game design “because he has played a lot of games” and argued for days with me, cherry-picking everything I wrote attempting to use my words refuting him to support his arguments.

Just… Infuriating.

Bonus, it starts fully charged since the weight is inserted at the apex of the battery instead of having to be lifted.

TIL that # is called an “octothorpe”. Thank you kind stranger.

Can someone please just send Husky Musky on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney? 🙏

Don’t forget defrauding the federal and state of California governments to get them to pull funding from vitally needed high-speed rail projects because it would hurt Tesla’s bottom line. Fucking hyperloop.

Touché

What’s bad is that modern spam detection can employ semantic algorithms so it would still catch all of them as the I’m as message. The use of synonyms in the optionals is a huge vulnerability in the scam.

Lol, yeah, that is exactly how The Bible works for them.

I mean, these are the same people who won’t watch Big Bang Theory because the title is heretical, or believe that playing Magic the Gathering or Pokemon TCG are literally summoning demons and spirits into the world, or who believe that playing D&D is doing the same. Rationality is not exactly their strong suit.

Honestly, I think it has already been made. I could have sworn there was a Krampus movie that cast Santa as some sort of jolly ass-kicking Chad who came in to save the day. Krampus being the Satan stand in in this case.

My favorite thing about the “easter egg” he specifically mentions is that Alembics are still used in chemistry to this day. They are just a way to condense vaporized gasses and collect them.
