Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
I really can't even begin to properly explain this because it's just so many layers of intuition. No, you absolutely cannot have a line break in your name. That's not a letter. That said, I'm fully prepared for someone to give me an example of some writing system that uses line breaks for unique purposes apart from spaces.
asking questions like this is how i found out that one of the allowed characters in names in my country is ÿ, which is fine in Latin-1 but in 7-bit ASCII is DEL.
This sounds like it would create a whole list of fun and irritating edge conditions for some poor bugger to debug. Love it.
that's amazing! Aren't codecs fun
Unix or dos format?
Anyway, you probably need to put a backslash before it to indicate line continuation.
But wouldn't it be better to use something more traditional, such as ?
What about an open bracket? (
"We call her Carrie, because of the carriage return."
You can also try to give the child NULL as middle name for additional fun.
someone tried that with their license plate, it turned out well: https://www.wired.com/story/null-license-plate-landed-one-hacker-ticket-hell/

I just realized that the shitty software on the other side of the divide is casting null to ”null", which absolutely explains that issue. What a cluster
shudders in NodeJS
they should have just used rust smh
Yeah, this is his daughter
Am I allowed to include sql command words such as drop table in my child's name?
Just noticed that the listing for ; DROP TABLE "COMPANIES"; -- LTD has been redacted by the government website‽
Is it missing an apostrophe and a dash? Or they registered the wrong name?
Anyway, the use of quotes seem to have backfired. I blame Excel.
Apparently they didn't include the single quote at the beginning because they wanted to hint at the exploit without actually triggering it.
(and Lemmy seems to combine two dashes into one)
That's easy, just call it Jhon\nDoe
John\0Doe will fuck with all C (and C based derivatives) software that touches it.
Nah, it will end up simply as "John" in the database. You need "John%sDoe" to crash C software with unsafe printf() calls, and even then it's better to use several "%s"
C and C derivatives will be fine unless they're fucking up encoding.
Which rarely, if ever, happens. Especially with US software.
With an address in 's-Hertogenbosch to help people who are lazy about escaping.
Always sanitize your Data inputs.
I'd rather include a bell character '\a'
Bing Crosby
And that's why you're not safe for work.
NaN,
Not a Number, and now Not a Name
NaN: „Hey Nanna, can you call the nanny?“
This sounds like the start of another sovcit "loophole"
