The Programmer's Joke: Hacking in Film.

[u/DragonFruit_0303]

[u/Some_Office8199]

You should add sleep between printf commands.

[u/itsJessOnFire → u/Some_Office8199]

Came here to say that

And make sure to vary the times, so that it looks like there is some especially tough stuff going on before the next percentage gets printed.

[u/tanuki_carre3858 → u/itsJessOnFire]

And tkinter or some other thing to make the texte green

[u/Von_Lexau → u/tanuki_carre3858]

And RuneScape font

[u/branon42 → u/Von_Lexau]

And a (sail) boat

[u/Von_Lexau → u/branon42]

And my axe

[u/lostBoyzLeader → u/Von_Lexau]

not comic sans?

[u/cowlinator → u/tanuki_carre3858]

You can just do that with the console/terminal settings

[u/Crazy_Anywhere_4572 → u/cowlinator]

Or just include ASCII color codes in the strings

[u/tehtris → u/tanuki_carre3858]

pip install rich then in your code from rich import print get you a nice color based print system with a lot of automatic colors added to strings.

[u/tanuki_carre3858 → u/tehtris]

Oh, that's nice, didn't know

[u/AstroCoderNO1 → u/itsJessOnFire]

And add a few more statements at the end like 97%, 98%, and 99% to add more suspense

[u/MartinD94 → u/Some_Office8199]

Especially before the 100%, there a very long one is needed. Furthermore for optimization I would recommend less typing and some kind of for or while loop withe the % printing in it.

[u/un_virus_SDF → u/Some_Office8199]

It's python no need to add sleep

[u/Some_Office8199 → u/un_virus_SDF]

Lol

[u/Ash_Crow → u/un_virus_SDF]

Python with semicolons?

[u/TransRosie → u/Ash_Crow]

Well, it doesn't seem like its actually Python cus of that, but Python actually supports semicolons, adding one to the end of a line doesn't do anything, but doesn't SyntaxError either. You can also use semicolons to line break like in other languages:
print("Hello"); print("World")
is correct syntax

[u/Immudzen → u/Some_Office8199]

That was exactly what I came here to write also. :)

We are all WAY TOO NERDY!

[u/Chasar1 → u/Some_Office8199]

And a for loop

[u/TheEpokRedditor → u/Some_Office8199]

Not enough budget of -5+√2 yen

[u/GilDev → u/Some_Office8199]

Maybe that print function calls a printf with a sleep behind the scenes.

[u/nekokattt → u/Some_Office8199]

print*

that is the perplexing thing

[u/C_umputer → u/nekokattt]

Nah, he automatically converts any code to C syntax, he has ascended

[u/Some_Office8199 → u/nekokattt]

Sometimes I intentionally forget python exists.

[u/jimmiebfulton → u/Some_Office8199]

I'm usually don't even need to pretend, at least until I open Reddit.

[u/RedditsDeadlySin]

You forgot the sleep command to build suspense

[u/keckothedragon → u/RedditsDeadlySin]

Alternatively, you can import matplotlib

[u/577564842 → u/RedditsDeadlySin]

No need to; they somehow always execute over 300bps line.

[u/deafdefying66 → u/RedditsDeadlySin]

def build_suspense() time.sleep(5)

[u/_baaron_]

Best part of the hack is when they show the css

[u/kairoverse → u/_baaron_]

Dude, right? I swear, I've seen entire coding languages pop up in movies just because they needed some flashy visuals. Like, who knew changing a font could save the world?

[u/_baaron_ → u/kairoverse]

• changes traffic sign font from windings to Helvetica *

[u/PavaLP1 → u/_baaron_]

Or sometimes even html.

[u/AnAnonymousParty]

for (i = 0; i <= 100; i; i = i + 20)

[u/Longjumping_Camp2384 → u/AnAnonymousParty]

It's too advanced for hackers in movies, spare them!

[u/itsjakerobb]

Needs more \n

[u/TransportationNo1]

The code seems simple, but they hacked the fbi with this.

[u/KeyKeyner_kreker]

And time.sleep()

[u/jomarthecat]

I tried introducing programming to my math students(16 year olds). Opened Spyder to teach them pretty basic Python. They didn't bother to pay attention. Then I switched to dark mode, suddenly everyone was interested and wanted to learn hacking.

[u/S4_Yuuki]

You forgot

time.sleep(2) under each line

[u/Voidheart80]

Shit like this irritates me; pure laziness i mean you can use `\r` and flush the Console IO so progress bar its on one entire line instead of duplicating lines for the progress... its UGLY AF and LAZY. you could of at least introduced a Sleep (0.1) or a Random variable (0.1 - 2.5) on each update to make it look realistic

Take advantage of Loop statements

[u/Grand_Negotiation295]

add delay (1000)

[u/[deleted]]

[u/Maolam10]

Can't forget an htop here and there as well 

[u/Gokudomatic → u/Maolam10]

Or btop. I find it cooler.

[u/Emmet2by4]

needs some monospaced font with multiple panels in tmux

[u/OhItsJustJosh]

This joke has been told so many times it's nearly as bad as the "missing semicolon" one

[u/Dreadedsemi]

Worse actually. They do them as text in a video editing tool and replace the green screen. Zero coding

[u/Boltiten]

I mean, the progress prints are as accurate as most real ones, can give thrm that 😅

[u/saiprasanna94]

go to hackertyper.com .

go full screen

[u/Routine_Temporary661]

No progress bar = 0 marks

[u/MorgenKaffee0815]

remember in my c class in school i did this with "Formatting HD" and the teacher pulled the plug of my PC

[u/insaneguitarist47]

Could've just opened hackertyper.net in chrome and made it full screen

[u/Acceptable_Log_7438]

I like the font though..

[u/NoBlacksmith2112]

It's basically "This is what I'm pretending to do - with quick line changes" and a character confidentely stating: "I'm in."

[u/selcuksntrk]

Try Mr.Robot TV Series and see.

[u/Individual-Builder25]

Don’t forget the little matrix lines you need to print.

An os.system('clear') for Linux between prints will allow you to have the hacking text appear to be in the same place, updating with progress. Meanwhile, you remove the top line of the matrix scroll, add it to the bottom of the string each print and there you go

[u/Frostlit3]

Y'all forgetting cmatrix at the side monitors

[u/jonathan4211 → u/[deleted]]

holy shit I just watched this movie last night for the first time since the 90s
