No, cause “John\nDoe” messes up my regex. Sorry, out of the question.
no one is “good” with regex.
Then who’s coming up with all the bits that I copy/paste off the internet? The regex dragon?
There was only one, we’re all still copying from him or her.
they likely aren’t good regex’s ;P … anything with more than, say, 6 operators is probably missing an edge case or will be outdated in a year (and then it’s impossible to determine its original intention)
From what I’ve seen, it’s Cthulhu.
Frontend devs hates this guy.
Still better than Jennifer Null I guess
John doe is invaild syntax.
It just be
(John \doe);
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.
Chaotic neutral response: A line break is just white space.
Most languages use white spaces
its not just a white space. Sometimes it entails a white space, when theres still space on that line. Sometimes it does not.
“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/
Yeah, this is his daughter
they should have just used rust smh
I just realized that the shitty software on the other side of the divide is casting
nullto ”null", which absolutely explains that issue. What a clusterYeah, I love to rag on languages with weak typing, because of the potential for a bug, but seeing it play out in reality, directly with user input, that’s certainly something else.

He is being too nice. He needs to get a lawyer and sue that shitty company for harassment and whatever else.
ETA: The US isn’t overly litigious. We are under litigious if anything.
Large corporations are overly litigious. Individuals can’t afford to be litigious enough.
Oh no, it gets worse:
Prank or not, Tartaro was playing with fire by going with NULL in the first place. “He had it coming,” says Christopher Null, a journalist who has written previously for WIRED about the challenges his last name presents. “All you ever get is errors and crashes and headaches.”

Hey “java.lang.NullPointerException” can I borrow your pen?

This sounds like the start of another sovcit “loophole”
What’s the answer? I need the link
I’m not american and I’m glad I’m not but intended if someone could enter a bunch of zero width spaces
Am I allowed to include sql command words such as drop table in my child’s name?
Simmer down, Bobby
“ethics aside” truly a starter for a qa
Good luck with that.
Most computer nayetems will trim the crap out of that name, the white spaces like space, tab, \r and \n will be gone by the time it’s in the database
Just seen 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)
Be funny as fuck if Canada started extradition procedures when he landed
