[02:42:49] * Bytram shambles into the channel
[02:51:20] <Bytram> story submissions queue looks weak... looking around for whatever else I can sub or it's gonna be a lonnnnnngggg weekend
[02:51:43] <Bytram> whereto? http://go.theregister.com
[02:51:44] <upstart> ^ 03Surprise! Copying crummy code from Stack Overflow leads to vulnerable GitHub jobs ( https://www.theregister.co.uk )

[02:52:40] <Bytram> =g CWE
[02:52:41] <upstart> https://cwe.mitre.org - Common Weakness Enumeration: CWE
[03:11:36] <chromas> Just post a story called "Buffer Underrun"
[03:16:51] <Bytram> chromas: s/Buffer/Queue/
[03:16:52] <exec> <Bytram> <chromas> Just post a story called "Queue Underrun"
[03:17:46] <chromas> Are buffers not sometimes queues?
[03:17:58] <Bytram> stack == FILO buffer; queue = FIFO buffer
[03:19:14] <chromas> What = random-access buffer and what is its initialism?
[03:19:40] <Bytram> RAM
[03:20:07] <chromas> Ah, so RAM=RAB
[03:20:29] <Bytram> I would say so, yes.
[03:21:30] <chromas> I can't add the Security topic to the stack overflow sub 'cause it's already there
[03:21:41] <Bytram> then add software
[03:21:44] <Bytram> ??
[03:21:58] <chromas> Yeah, I was gonna ask if you had anything else in mind
[03:22:17] <chromas> it's weird that if the topic is already there, rehash asks if I want to replace it
[03:22:21] <Bytram> nope, that was it; just got em confused as both start with "S"
[03:23:16] <Bytram> IIRC, it's some plugin that Slashcode got from whoknowswhere and that we, in turn, inherited.
[03:23:23] <Bytram> biab, dishes
[03:23:46] <Bytram> chromas++ Good catch, btw!
[03:23:46] <Bender> karma - chromas: 94
[03:24:11] <chromas> I need to update my rehash theme. I didn't have privs when I made it, so all this time I've been suffering with light text on white background on the topic/nexus popup
[03:32:54] <Bytram> ??? You mean on SoylentNews?
[03:33:50] <chromas> yeah
[03:34:18] <chromas> the Grayscale theme
[03:35:04] <Bytram> time to commence tag-team story submission and editing... For example, I just came upon a story that I thought was interesting, but even if I use a bot to submit it, I really should not push it out, too. Now, if someone else were to take the link, look at the story, and then submit it, then that's a horse of a different color.
[03:35:24] <Bytram> When I have privs enabled, my theme is OMG Pwnies

[03:37:29] <chromas> hm. what if the bot just automatically subbed stuff?
[03:38:32] <Bytram> Well, doesn't it already do that, but gives attribution to the submitter, at least "=submit" does.
[03:38:53] <chromas> without any provocation though
[03:39:11] <Bytram> lol
[03:39:26] <chromas> maybe a cronjob to check the subs queue depth, then pick some crap from the feed and sub it
