Error messages are a common way for hackers to gain information about a system. Useless error messages are recommended for security.

If you enter your username as Robert''); DROP TABLE Students;-- giving the error "Oops, something went wrong" is better than "NoSuchTable: 'Students' Table doesn't exist in the database" because now the hacker knows you're using a database that interprets SQL commands and inputs aren't being sanitized.

Hacking programs like Burp Suite have functions that spam sites with all kinds of garbage data and uses error messages and delays in response times to highlight potential vulnerabilities.

so that some RAs can feed the homework back through a different AI to handle the grading for them.

Reminds me of this comic

Rust has become a very popular language for hobby projects but hasn't gained lots of traction in professional development. It's a joke to say finished Rust programs are like unicorns.

Taking furniture from government buildings? Now where did he get an idea like that...

The Tumblr Effect

I loved that the original attack ad they had when he was first running for Prime Minister was that he was too young and handsome to be a leader.

An example from, ironically, the Whitest Kids U Know

If Kojima wrote a story about Sony, their leaders would be Timed Exclusiveman and Thirdparty Accountman.

Canada actually produces very little vaccines because in the 80s the Conservative government thought it was a waste of tax money. Thankfully that's changing since the Covid pandemic.

I found this government report on the Canadian Field Vegetable Industry

Tomatoes are the most popular field vegetable grown in Canada making up 23.9% of production. That equates to around 543,000 tonnes produced per year. 98% of all tomatoes are grown in Ontario and most tomatoes are used in "processing". However, Canada is one of the top importers of vegetables in the world with tomatoes being 5th place in most imported vegetable. An additional 177,000 tonnes are imported (mostly from Mexico and USA) to supply demand.

So while we produce a lot, it still isn't enough to cover domestic consumption. I'm sure we could make domestic ketchup, but it would be taking away from tomatoes already being used somewhere else in Canada.

The lead developers of Lemmy. They also develop the mobile Lemmy app Jerboa (personally, not my first choice).

Where's the money, Lemeowski?

He has the cards and by cards I mean kompromat.

There's still lots of moderation on Lemmy, but thankfully it's all public. The lemmy.world modlog can be found here https://lemmy.world/modlog.

Ah yes, now I remember why Trudeau was forced to resign. I almost forgot because he spent the last few weeks explaining we must stand against nations that bully their neighbours and threaten their sovereignty.

You don't program in Rust because you want to finish a project.

Here in Canada, primary education is paid for by the province

Via property taxes.

Rushing your decisions is a common red flag in scams. I'd say it's probably enough of a red flag to stop talking with them. You can try to slow play things and if they continue to hound you then it's almost certainly a scam. They're probably going to do something like:

Ask you for money to purchase things you'll need for your job (MLM/pyramid scheme)

Give you a large cheque, ask you to cash it, give a certain amount of the cash to someone, and keep the rest for yourself (cheque fraud).
