    How can a hacker simply breach the security of one of the most secured websites in the world (Twitter) in a matter of minutes?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 03:32 PM PDT

    From what I imagine about cyber security, it is more about social engineering and relying on end users' technological illiteracy than on the hacker's skills and abilities (especially when it comes to the more secure products like Twitter).

    But what happened today (Twitter breach) got me thinking, how could a hacker simply overcome the security measures deployed by one of the best security teams in business? Maybe if it was just one account, I could imagine it being an account holder's mistake, but breaching Apple's, Bill Gates's, Elon Musk's,...,etc. accounts simultaneously is more of a Twitter's mistake, right? So how could that possibly have happened?

    Having a ton of trouble implementing Topological Sort

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 08:16 AM PDT

    My repl on this: https://repl.it/@Stylebender/Topological-Sort#index.js

    What I'm basing it on:

    https://github.com/williamfiset/Algorithms/blob/master/src/main/java/com/williamfiset/algorithms/graphtheory/TopologicalSortAdjacencyList.java

    I think the actual Topsort function seems be fine? My DFS method on the other hand seems broken and I'm not sure how to code it in JS.

    Why would you choose C over C++

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 08:50 PM PDT

    As the title implies I was wondering why you would opt for C as opposed to C++. The latter just seems much cleaner and more comfortable to use and support OOP.

    Any examples would be well appreciated!

    Help Using OkHttp

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 06:57 PM PDT

    I am fairly new to using OkHttp and am trying to make a GET request to an API and so far have been successful. The following block of code works:

    String getJSONCandidates() throws IOException {

    Request request = new Request.Builder()
    .header("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedKey)
    .url(candidates)
    .build();
    try (Response response = client.newCall(request).execute()) {
    return response.body().string();
    }
    }

    The issue is that I am trying to add a parameter to this request. The goal is to specify that 500 objects per page are returned using the "per_page" parameter. However, when I try to use ".header()" or ".addHeader()" it does not work. Any ideas for how to make this work? I would appreciate any help, thanks!

    Home Update Server

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 04:18 PM PDT

    Is it possible to make a raspberry Pi an update server for your games on your PC? For example, download the game overnight on raspberry Pi (to an external hdd or something), then stream the game update super quick to your pc once the update is completed on Raspberry Pi? So you don't have to leave pc on overnight and only leave Rpi on as it uses so little power?

    Hosting a Simple Game on a Web App

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 03:44 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I'm developing a quizzing app. Basically a user can join a quiz, or host a quiz. When hosting a quiz, I would like a user to customize lengths of rounds, and add their own questions/answers. Once a quiz is created, a passcode is generated, which the host will give to friends. Friends can then click on the join quiz button at the start, enter this pass code and enter a waiting room. Once the host hits a "go" button, the quiz will begin.

    What I'm unsure about is how exactly the hosting mechanism would work. The first thing that came to my head was store the passcode in a DB, then search the DB for it whenever a user enters it - maybe have a column in this table that stores users in a waiting room. Also a column with "Waiting" or "InProgress" too. I'm thinking as I'm typing this, but basically what I'm asking is does anyone know of any good resources as to where might be a good place to start? I have an AWS account so I'd like to leverage that. This is very much a situation where I know there's some obvious answers - I'm just having a hard time knowing what to google/search on reddit. I keep getting results on how to host Unity games - which is more than likely massive overkill. I have never done anything like this before so it's pretty new to me.

    I'm a junior dev with about two years experience. I'm working with an Angular front end and .NET backend.

    How do I make my simple python code better

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 02:39 PM PDT

    I've already learnt a good amount of programming languages but never got into python, I'm now learning it because I want to integrate python on my webapp. To start of I made this simple fighting game where the pc fight himself based on randomness. The code fully works as expected but I wanted to know what I could do to make it look nicer. I probably have lines longer than what they should / could be. Can you guys point them out to me? Thanks in advance.

    from random import choice class figter: def __init__(self, name, health, str): self.name = name self.health = health self.str = str f1 = figter("Lin", 100, choice([*range(20,50)])) f2 = figter("Xul", 100, choice([*range(20,50)])) while(f1.health > 0 or f2.health > 0): print("\n=========================") print(f1.name + " health : "+ str(f1.health)) print(f2.name + " health : "+ str(f2.health)) print("=========================\n") c = choice([*range(1,3)]) if(c == 1): f1_c = choice([*range(1,4)]) if(f1_c == 1): hit = (f1.str * 3)/2 print(f1.name + " hit " + f2.name + " for " + str(hit) + "\n") f2.health -= hit if(f2.health <= 0): print(f1.name + " won the battle") break elif(f1_c == 2): potion = choice([*range(10, 30)]) print(f1.name + " used health potion to regenerate " + str(potion) + " health\n") f1.health += potion elif(f1_c == 3): print(f1.name + " just stood there\n") elif(c == 2): f2_c = choice([*range(1,4)]) if(f2_c == 1): hit = (f2.str * 3)/2 print(f2.name + " hit " + f1.name + " for " + str(hit) + "\n") f1.health -= hit if(f1.health <= 0): print(f1.name + " won the battle") break elif(f2_c == 2): potion = choice([*range(10, 30)]) print(f2.name + " used health potion to regenerate " + str(potion) + " health\n") f2.health += potion elif(f2_c == 3): print(f2.name + " just stood there\n")

    How are bank balances stored?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 02:08 PM PDT

    Are bank balances stored as an intger, a hash with salt that only the user can decrypt, or a third way?

    Could an admin in principle change his own balance to 1B?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 01:50 PM PDT

    THIS PROGRAM IS TO CHECK IF THE DATES ENTERED ARE EQUAL OR NOT (Currently I am learning classes and objects)

    https://pastebin.com/6BmDabiX

    1. Now the problem with the code is that when I run and enter the values it will give me "dates are equals" and sometimes "not equal" for the same value(ex. 1,2,2020).
    2. How do values entered by keyboard are called or checked by "public boolean equals(TRY otherTRY)".
    3. How the value is stored in otherTRY(parameter name).

    Thank you!

    How can I make a website that shows the output of a Python script?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 01:26 PM PDT

    Hi, I made a web scraper in Python using bs4 and requests, it's very simple, it checks the website every 60 seconds, it looks for every link in the page, counts them and prints the number in te Terminal, this process keeps going until I close the terminal or press CTRL+C, now what I want to do is that the same thing that I see on my Terminal gets shown on a website, this website should be strictly functional, white background, sans-serif font, nothing fancy. How can I make this?

    Can I create one code that can scrape from multiple websites the same classes?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 01:15 PM PDT

    noob here, and this is for data analysis mainly.

    I want to scrape data from different news websites e.g. bbc, cnn etc for data analysis and machine learning project. I am having some help from another programmer and he is saying each one is different in terms of class structure etc therefore they need to be tackled in a different way.

    From my understanding, I just need the heading, time, image (if any) and text body, so could I not write a function that could tackle many different structured sites, where if returning 'empty'/ 'na', it would move on to the next type and try that. As the idea of writing this code 100 times for 100 different websites seems insane...

    I know there is paid APIs out there but they can get very expensive with high amounts of data.

    ​

    Does anyone have any advice, or can advise me on this?

    Help finishing Python script (convert txt to csv)

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 09:53 AM PDT

    Trying to convert a txt file into a csv. I'm not the best with Python (or OOP in general) but I'm learning. I have the code below and it works but it puts every line in the txt file into its own row in the csv. What I need is for every six lines in the txt doc to be bundled into a row in the csv output. Each line should go into its own column until after the sixth line when the next row will begin. How should I tweak my code to get there? TIA!

    import csv with open('/myfile.txt', 'r') as f: content = f.readlines() with open('/myfile.csv', 'w+') as csvFile: csvWriter = csv.writer(csvFile, delimiter = ' ') for elem in content: csvWriter.writerow([elem.strip()])

    Can you make a TOML object without a name

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 09:42 AM PDT

    Hello everyone!

    I am currently using TOML to store the following object, for usage in python.

    [

    {cat = "No_water",frog = "Yes_water"},

    {cat = "Yes_fur",frog = "No_fur"}

    ]

    One issue I have ran into is that unless I give the object a name, python throws an error when I try to use toml.load. I have to add "pets =" before the first bracket. Is there a way to create the object above without giving it a title, as you can do in python or JSON?
