Papa Murphys Intern Tests In Prod

Content mathew mathewmastodon.social I came up with a single pass O(n) sort algorithm I call StalinSort. You iterate down the list of elements checking if they're in order. Any element which is out of order is eliminated. At the end you have a sorted list. 20181026 04:20:16

Content errors then errors now CRITICAL SYSTEM FAILURE (CORE CORRUPTED, CODE Ox911a) woopsie, looks like one of our servers is feeling sad today :' but our busy little worker bees are working hard to bring it back!

You placed first in a coding contest, feeling like a god among mortals. But then someone else placed 0th because they exploited an integer underflow bug in the ranking system. Classic competitive programming energy right here—where winning isn't about being the best, it's about finding that one edge case the organizers forgot to validate. For the uninitiated: integer underflow happens when you subtract from the minimum value of an integer type and it wraps around to the maximum value (or in this case, goes negative and becomes 0th place). It's like going so far backward you end up ahead. Honestly, if you can hack the leaderboard, you deserve that trophy more than anyone who actually solved the problems.

The classic vampire/Superman weakness meme but with a coding twist! Vampires cower from sunlight, Superman recoils from kryptonite, and developers? They'll do ANYTHING to avoid writing unit tests. The sheer panic on that developer's face speaks volumes about the universal dread of having to verify your own code actually works as intended. Why spend 20 minutes writing tests when you could spend 8 hours debugging in production instead? Pure engineering efficiency!

This programmer just executed the most beautiful integer overflow exploit in history! First wishing for wishes to be counted as an unsigned 32-bit integer (max value: 4,294,967,295 wishes), then ensuring the subtraction happens after the wish completes (avoiding the "no more wishes" rule), and finally wishing for 0 wishes which causes an underflow to 4,294,967,295! The genie's face says it all - he just got absolutely destroyed by a classic buffer overflow vulnerability. This is what happens when you don't sanitize your inputs, magical beings!
