This is partly why I prefer Firefox’s implementation of the find feature - it allows case-sensitive search while Chrome does not support it.

Surely the word ‘in’ would appear countless times out of context on the table of contents.

At work they just call me: “Put those pens back and get outta here; you were fired weeks ago!”

Great song and free as in freedom.

I prefer “super-availability”.

var foo is declared but not used is such a pain in my asshole when doing this.

I’m a developer and I hardly ever compile shit for my personal computer from source. I’d rather use a package manager, sure, but on Windows that’s by far the exception to the rule and if you want regular users to use your app, it needs to be a downloadable EXE.

My Level 8 solution after about an hour:

And an honorable mention to this clue:

My attempt which worked for Level 7:

Stuck on Level 8, though.

They seem kind of slow, but you can be assured that they will always make time for taking the garbage out.

Whoops, I accidentally deleted my comment. Here’s the link again for posterity: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1311_05-08_mickens.pdf

This sounds like something James Mickens would write.

Sounds like DMCA abuse to me. You can’t copyright a fact. In this case, the fact that these IPs are used by a company is a fact.

Metasploit becomes your “decompiler”.

Changing your MAC will make older messages undeliverable, but that just means the connection will be momentarily interrupted until you establish new connections after re-connecting to the WiFi.

Why not just assign yourself a different internal IP? Because a. the router probably wants to assign you one itself via DHCP; and b. the router isn’t looking at your IP address to lock you out; it’s looking at your MAC address.

If your IP address is where in cyberspace you are, a MAC address is who you are. If you want to fool the bouncer, change your name, not your address.

Not necessarily “wrong” but a weakness is that they tend to focus on concrete language syntax and skimp on abstract software design, and data structures and algorithms. The result is a programmer who knows how to write code, but may struggle on larger projects or more complicated problems, compared to a computer science or software engineering graduate.

Of course I’ve met developers from applied courses and boot camps who are driven, passionate, and gifted who have gone on to make excellent system designers and software architects, but generally speaking, knowing how to code alone does not make one a software developer.
