Some guy slid into my DMs trying to sell me child porn. I managed to talk him down to loli porn, but I honestly just explected him to tell me to fuck off. Instead he says he managed to pull an entire team of artists straight out of his ass. Impressive! Of course there's no way I could ever get samples without jumping through whatever weird hoops he has for me, because loli porn is just too hardcore for the clearnet, and his artists are just too dedicated to the craft to ever produce anything different. WhatsApp DMs are the only place where it's safe to post loli! I mean, I see loli porn on the clearnet all the time. There are websites dedicated to it. But what do I know? This guy is the professional here. Definitely not an unscrupulous scammer trying to profit off of pedophilia.

If you have a really long function in your code then people will look down on you. The first thing you need to do to obfuscate this problem is to package all state into an opaque and confusing data structure made entirely for this one problem. Next, fracture your function, splitting it down the middle into dozens of "helper" functions that all call eachother and don't really have any meaning or utility on their own. Sure, this means that you have to jump all over the place while holding a complex program state in your head instead of just seeing everything you need to know in one place, but if you are working on a difficult problem then there really isn't a way to simplify it. All you can do is make it harder for people to see the problem so they won't say mean things about you in clean coding books.

I hate those urinals that take pictures of your penis to figure out when it needs to flush. I get that it's more sanitary that way, but I would honestly rather just use a button or a lever at this point.

Imagine 9 random bit-streams and 1 bit-stream controlled by a rebel. The rebel can see the other bit-streams, but only past bits; they can't predict future ones. The rebel's adversary is watching the bitstreams intently looking for evidence of non-random behavior. Is there a way that the rebel can send a message to the adversary through their bitstream without the adversary being able to uncover who sent it? Is there an algorithm that can be used to encode the message into the rebel's bitstream, and an algorithm that can extract it from the 10 combined bitstreams?
