especially if some of the children have a background in cyber crime . this is somehow not a joke , see this video (youtube.com)

YES . its so unhinged . they have an entire page discussing if Obama is actually a Muslim

ICBMs duh

DivestOS went EOL : https://divestos.org/pages/news#end

note that the -- -> operator is different than --->

his opsec was trash . he left tons of DNA evidence and he was wearing a very specific backpack making it easy for cops to track him , once he ditched it he had enough cameras behind him that he appeared on that he could have been tracked further plus the showing his face while flirting with a receptionist . see this video by The Hated One (youtube.com , use your preferred privacy friendly front end)

yeah no . sorry but the guy was not as well prepared as it seems , he left a lot of tracks and made a lot of mistakes .

doubt it , since they shorten their username to CY78 , for example on their youtube channel profile or in the vaguely lewd unicode art

high quality malware !

the other mentioned repo has the same payload soooo

here is the extracted payload : https://gist.github.com/MinekPo1/af9bfd787c35ea5ff8b22165e9a05a6d

I suspect that’s not the actual payload , the anggur- repo appears to be more suspicious , might try to analyse that

d3.v7.js uses sin cos and tan in total 410 times, thus you are indirectly using trig when using d3.js

I misread machinist as masochist at first honestly , though wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t far of

fuck you radians are cool and atan is actually incredibly useful , so much they made atan2

tan is also ok ig

though note than lossy formats , like JPEG which was used here , do use Fourier transforms , which are very intense trigonometry . IIRC PNG doesn’t use trigonometry either , though I’m not entirely sure yup PNG uses DEFLATE after some filtering , so no sine there I believe

JPEG uses a lossy form of compression based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT).

- Wikipedia - JPEG

Many modern compression schemes are more about signal processing than statistics , especially the lossy ones . IIRC 3blue1brown has a video on image compression if you want to learn about it in a visual way

as I’ve said in a different comment , it sucks how little space school gives to recreational usage of the skills we learn . I deeply enjoy recreational linguistics , writing , yet school seldom gave me the tools I find useful , having to find them on my own , despite being thought them previously .

I find that the best way for me to learn is to learn the use of something first , then find that something . Exploring a problem and finding the solution is way more engaging than repeating a basic task over and over again . And unfortunately schools , at least in western countries don’t have space for those things . Its all cramming cramming cramming , which sucks , both for the students who are weaker in a subject and those who are better at it .

Students often reach for tools to bypass problems , not realising how useful that tool would be at understanding the problem . Learning becomes a chore , not something that one does for self improvement .

In the US this is enforced even more by imperial units , which put one more roadblock when students try to use what they learned in a way which has any connection to the real world .

It hurts , both being a student which has large voids in knowledge that is expected , being a student which is ahead of material by a large margin and seeing other students struggle with tasks , to me , simple . It hurts knowing how complex of a problem this is , especially as one notes its connections to the wider world , both how failures of the education system hurt our society and how society is not able to help our schools .

I feel like similar issues are also present in humanities , but they are less visible .

I enjoy doing recreational linguistics , writhing poems , stories and argumentative texts , yet I always sucked at humanities at school . I learned a lot of what school tried to teach me on my own , often after failing to fully grasp it at school . On the flip side , a lot of time was spent learning about things I still do not know the use of , that I , with some difficulty , crammed for tests and forgotten .

Even with maths which I am quite good at , I often entered new topics with some knowledge of them from doing maths recreationally , which was not that great for me , both as I did not have enough resources to find the gaps in my knowledge and as I spent time not building on the knowledge I already had .

I think this is an issue of how little we focus on individuals in our schools , though this is not something I blame teachers for , to be clear , they have no option to do so , especially as being a teacher not rewarded enough , ignoring both the extra workload outside of school and with generally shitty pay .

I often find that the best way for me to learn is via exploration , trying to do something and researching ways how to do things needed to reach the goal . This is unfortunately something school doesn’t have space for and I suspect it is one of the factors behind this misunderstanding .

The reason I feel like maths gets more heat for not having a use is because its harder to convey meaning of abstract equations , as someone else in this thread put better then I can , many students , I feel like , miss a deeper understanding , being left with only what is needed to pass the test , forgetting even that soon after …
