I inherited a project like this. in ours you could also go to 'forget password', type in an email, and the server would send back the entire user record in an ajax call (to display whether the email was valid) which would include the hashed password and reset token.

I found an issue kind of like this in a local online food delivery service. the order numbers in the order tracker looked sequential, so of course you can just iterate through them and get people's payment details, addresses, phone numbers, etc.

They fixed it up within a few hours of me emailing them, so now you just have to be authenticated to iterate through people's orders.

c tp s: some more thoughts on dbt. its kinda cool but logging is quite bad, for macros and stuff like that. im not sure how much of a useful tool it is in production, but it's been really nice for the current project, whereby i need to explain our developers how to generate one analytical report without relying on sql - i can't just throw them gigantic and really slow sql script so instead im just seting them this DAG (look at mr. fancy righ there) of trivial sql selects, which is the premise of the tool. for production use its ok but in my case ("rendering" everything as views) our db dude is complaing about tables being locked by views, and table "render" would be considerably slower and more involved with resource consumption

in general though i like it even without using it for the intended target systems (redshift/bigquery). i'll need to tinker more with dbt, there was some kind of ephemeral materialisation option i did preemtively ignore

huh, looks nice

quote:

dbt has two core workflows: building data models and testing data models. (We call any transformed view of raw data a data model.)

To create a data model, an analyst simply writes a SQL SELECT statement. dbt then takes that statement and builds it in the database, materializing it as either a view or a table. This model can then be queried by other models or by other analytics tools.

To test a data model, an analyst asserts something to be true about the underlying data. For example, an analyst can assert that a certain field should never be null, should always hold unique values, or should always map to a field in another table. Analysts can also write assertions that express much more customized logic, such as �debits and credits should always be equal within a given journal entry�. dbt then tests all assertions against the database and returns success or failure responses.

assertions. invariants. noice

ill be able to report back some testing experience likely tomorrow already. i need to check some business logic in the morning to see if the grand scale of things adds up, but after that ill have to add a lot of formal verification to ensure that joins and filters work as intended because our data model is so pos that instead of writing custom tests for business logic i need to instead worry about things such as �is there a 10 dollar transaction in transaction table that matches the 10 dollar gift card sale from gift card table�

' is an apostrophe, not a quote. ‘ and ’ are quotation marks (in some languages), which have an orientation the same way parentheses or brackets do.

If you work in publishing or printing, the three of them are distinct and must be set correctly.

Of course, a lot of systems that do "smart quotes" end up replacing the apostrophe with a right quote, so welp.

I can never talk straight when it comes to loving fonts and Unicode terms. I thought ligatures were the modifiers and poo poo you put on the basic symbols. like � is the the letter e with a right accent on top.

ComradeCosmobot posted:

If i want to quote something I just put the whole statement in between " ", not use those fancy oriented single quotation marks.

I get that they exist for a reason and have a specific use, but what business does any computer have in replace apostrophes with quotes? Did this all come about because some dipshit thought gently caress it, everyone really wants to use quotes, so I'll just helpfully replace them?

you're probably thinking of unicode combining characters, which is how zalgo is made. ligatures are a typesetting thing, extra glyphs in a font

The "characters that combine with other characters to make accented versions" are called "combining characters"

"ligatures" are (typically) considered part of a font and not distinct characters; they correspond to nice looking things like making an adjacent f and t share a crossbar etc. A ligature is, literally, a tie between one or more letters
