Dumb question but why does enum use string for min/max ordering instead of integer?
Is this something in one of those new hipster languages? Enums are just numbers, they're not strings, that's the whole reason it works as a jump table. I feel like I'm being asked a GML specific question, something I know nothing about, and nothing about it is relevant to gamedev outside of GameMaker (other than it is a procedural programming language with basic syntax similar to 75% of existing languages).
 
is there any evidence he hacked power plants for the government?
any photos, videos, a short of him telling a story there
i know its on his linked in he did but is their any evidence?
you wonder how he got the job with how awful his code is
You (and all the people who responded to you with guesses) are off with the speculating because what YOU (and everyone else) thinks "hacking" is is NOT what Figtree thinks it is, and it's the reason why he ALSO speaks very vaguely and makes broad, sweeping statements probably because he knows what he actually does is pretty gay (or he does know what "hacking" means and is then essentially lying on purpose).

He's talked more in detail what he actually did maybe once or twice (I saw it in shorts so I don't know where else I'll see if I can find the specific one but good luck obviously). His "hacking" was actually "penetration testing", and by "penetration testing" one of his examples was he literally looked for unlocked doors. Or he followed people in. He didn't give a SINGLE example of what anyone who responded to you was guessing about default passwords and shit, or anything that actually involved computer skillz. He was "physically hacking" powerplants by seeing if he could find an employee not paying attention. That's it lol

This is the SAME shit he won that stupid defcon or whatever badge for that he references and touts constantly, he claims his team did some "epic social engineering/hacked the mainframe" but if you look up the one time he actually explained what he did, he knew someone who was working at the event and got them to tell him something. That's literally it. That's what he was touting as his 1337 top secret blackhat mastermind winning move was.

tl;dr massive faggot lying through super vague overviews

That's why I was curious, in MySQL which is C++ based size of an enum returns an int, but from what I've heard if you ask it for a min or max value it will sort by string. I think it's this video I'm remebering?


I'd like to say I'm retarded when it comes to this, so this is a question from a novice out of curiosity.
 
Many will disagree, and that’s fine, but I’m still not entirely convinced that he uses a voice modulator. He absolutely, without a doubt, processes his voice to absolute hell, but I’m not sure if he would go as far as to get vocal surgery, or maintain the same fake voice for his 12 hour streams, as even a trained voice could get tired after that long.
On the other hand, I couldn’t find any convincing or reliable evidence that suggests this is a possible phenomenon/side effect from COVID. In my opinion, it’s up in the air at the moment.
I asked ChatGPT about this voice deepening shit in someone's 30s and they say its possible and the biggest thing would be due to hormonal changes, thyroid issues, chronic acid reflux, smoking, "vocal training or overuse" (singing or frequent shouting), weight gain and "aging effects" (the vocal cords may lose some tension, and the cartilage in the larynx can ossify (become less flexible), which might contribute to a deeper tone).

So his voice deepening in later age isn't impossible and if its true and he hasn't just trained himself to speak deeper then its fairly uncommon.
 
Yes it's just a 3D platformer with camera locking. I am not familiar with Unity but I don't see how that would be impossible back then since Unity has had 3D forever?

I'd assume he means that when its in the 2D mode, suddenly the tiles don't have the 3D-like shading and lighting etc. which is just toggling lighting and shader options, like, that has to be something Unity could do on the fly always?
"It's now possible in Unity" is his way of saying "there is a plugin for that", as he is a shit developer and has no idea how to implement this. It's possible to do this pseudo-3d stuff even with the simpliest strictly 2d engine, it just requires busy work dealing with textures and geometry transformations instead of just rotating meshes.

Hate to break it to you but physical penetration testing is still considered hacking.
If you lived in the 1950s and found a way to make free phone calls that's also considered hacking.

All it means is gaining access to a "system" that you shouldn't have have and a system can be computerized or non-computerized. Even the post office, library and government before the advent of computers was still a "system" and if you somehow submitted some form and got access to something that you shouldn't have otherwise had access to then that is still considered hacking.

DBAs may use slightly different terminology. In programming it's called a "symbol" and not a "string" because a string is an actual datatype which an enum does not contain. Enums are ordered by declaration by default. The MIN/MAX behavior of MySQL isn't applicable to traditional programming languages.
 
I dont know if this was shared before but watch this video, this guy was showing his true colors even before the hardcore wow drama, while he was playing Ashes of Creation he was already being a toxic piece of shit and he was put in his place by a smaller guild, it was so bad he left to play hardcore wow instead, roaching out on his entire guild.


 
It is a bit odd that he's straining and out of breath when he makes public appearances though. He can yap and spew for 12 hours on a stream without gasping, but the second he's in person it seems a bit forced.
He's doing the same thing the cringe Theranos chick did. It's that simple. And he is obese.
I think he's into men but in denial--hence why he has an attraction to FTM's.
He strikes me more like a pornsick degen who is into shemales, dogs, and kids.

He is just faking it. It's that simple, my dude.
 
That would be fair if you're trying to deliver a AAA-tier 3d game, but again, building out these systems for a small 2d indie game really isn't very hard, or time-consuming, and what you learn from doing it will quite literally make you better at game development overall. I don't get this rhetoric of "not understanding things is better because it lets you ship faster". It's a bad attitude that leads to steam being flooded with shit games 24/7.
Telling people not to make their own engine on the basis that it takes a long time and a lot of effort is shitty and presumptive advice. If you want to be a game dev but have no plans to release a game as soon as possible, why not? It's like saying "if you want to become a mechanic, don't build a car in your garage because you might need to commute when your car isn't running. Instead, just start doing oil changes for people right away so you can start earning money ASAP." Like it's assuming too much about the person's situation, their background, their goals etc., but it sounds like practical, fatherly advice because of how stern it is.

So its numbers that you can read as a person. I know nothing but that seems to be why they do it. Cause its easier to remember 'large' instead of 3.
Yeah looks like thats what the video says too.

E:

There's a song about this actually...

Why are all the Mald dick riders coming here furries? There's less retarded hills you can choose to die on
Part of the autism experience is not being able to decide which hill to die on, and instead picking all of them.

This is the SAME shit he won that stupid defcon or whatever badge for that he references and touts constantly, he claims his team did some "epic social engineering/hacked the mainframe" but if you look up the one time he actually explained what he did, he knew someone who was working at the event and got them to tell him something.

Don't forget the other defcon badge where he volunteered to staff a puzzle room and leaked all the answers to his team. I wonder if "social engineering" means just being an asshole.

Yeah, everything he described about 'hacking' always sounded more like conmanship. Sleight of hand, manipulation, snatching, breaking in, etc etc to me. He dubs it social engineering to make it sound more presentable to his audience. Ironically, it's exactly what he's doing to his audience. It's grifting all the way down.
 
It's not like he has a CISSP Cert.
CISSP isn't hacking nor is it strictly about logical controls; it pretty much dictates you're a security expert in multiple fields, to include bollard placement, fence height, mantraps, and all other sorts of stuff. I'm not gonna say it's easy, because it's not, and ISC2 does what they can to try and keep it on a pedestal as opposed to other certificates; but if you have enough time and aren't a complete retard, you can get the CISSP. You don't get a CISSP to hack, you get it to be solidly in Management or as a "The Guy" in a Contractor/Solutions company. If he had a CISSP, he could be making $200,000/year with a mostly work from home position, while he takes paid for flights out to work sites from time to time, with room, board, and per diem. Instead, he lies, and freaks the fuck out, because even if he had a CISSP, it'd be wasted on him.

Tbf social engineering itself is grifting with a fancy name. At least he is not outright scamming people, good for him I guess, but still being a good liar is not a quality to be praised for.
 
His childhood didn't make sense. Apparently he got his internship at a young age 15/16/17 and his interaction with his dad seems to be decent enough to have his dad appear on his streams. But then he keeps saying he's had a shitty childhood and have said that he has been homeless in his teens. So where is his dad there? I mentioned this in this thread before and people told me that it could be because his dad is divorced so he may not be living with his dad but again, he got his internship early so his dad must be in contact with him. Even if his dad is in a different state in a different blizzard office (I didn't look into this), he could hook up his kid with an internship, powerful enough to let his kid mald be shit at the job and fail upwards but somehow also homeless? There's probably so many lies in here that it's hard to tell which one is at least real.
Look, he's prepping for Boogie Grift part 2 where he accuses his dad of abusing him for internet sympathy grift points.
Mald can't do that while his father is alive though.
 
Hacking specifically refers to computer systems, it's not an umbrella term that also includes physical pen testing
It depends how you want to define it but it generally doesn't exclusively relate to computer systems, it can include phone and access systems too. If you socially engineer someone and still rely on accessing a building using their access device it is arguably still "hacking".

I get that people have their own definitions of it and what a true legit super elite hacker is but for me personally it includes this.
