[00:00:45] <mechanicjay> crutchy: group effort, me, nc and paulej
[00:01:06] <BadCoderFinger> On behalf of the rest of the nameless rabble, thanks guys!
[00:01:09] <mythterj> Yeah, seems up now. All it took was me logging in to ask. ;-)

[00:03:01] <BadCoderFinger> Hey chromas
[00:03:45] <Bytram> I started getting the 503s when I had finished updating a submission and was trying to save it to the story queue. Thank $diety for the 'back' button. tried a couple more times. 503s.
[00:04:17] <Bytram> system looks normal now; I clicked save. Check the story queue. I now have 3 copies of the exact same story all scheduled to go out at the exact same time.
[00:04:26] <Bytram> can you say 'dupe'? =)
[00:06:43] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, well, there will always be complainers. Oddly, none of them volunteer to help.

[00:15:11] <mechanicjay> Bytram: sorry about that! Crazy things happen when you can't like, you know write the database reliably :)
[00:15:37] <Bytram> really? whoda thunk? ;)
[00:15:56] <Bytram> shades of dBase IV?

[00:18:40] <BadCoderFinger> Hey Spalls
[00:18:41] <mechanicjay> *all this shit = the entire web application space, not specifically rehash.
[00:20:05] <SpallsHurgenson> eets a me, spallio!
[00:20:23] <BadCoderFinger> How are you?
[00:20:55] <SpallsHurgenson> wondering if I talked myself out of a job or if I ensured I'd keep working there forever :)
[00:22:09] * SpallsHurgenson failed to show appropriate respect to the C-levels at a meeting :)
[00:22:28] <BadCoderFinger> I know which way I'd bet...
[00:22:39] <BadCoderFinger> Got an up-to-date resume?
[00:24:02] <SpallsHurgenson> hey, is it my fault I reminded them I gave ample warning against a particular course of action, they lost millions and then had to use my recommendation after the fact. Everybody loves people who say "I told you so!", don't they? :)
[00:27:39] <BadCoderFinger> I read that as, "No, I don't have an up-to-date resume. I should get right on that."
[00:27:43] <SpallsHurgenson> the meeting was basically one of those "we need to see who we can lay off so defend your job" things anyway.
[00:28:12] <BadCoderFinger> An auto-de-fe with water bottles.
[00:28:29] <SpallsHurgenson> the c-levels are fucking up the company with short-term quarter-to-quarter thinking
[00:28:47] <BadCoderFinger> So, pretty much every c-level ever.
[00:29:13] <SpallsHurgenson> Now they want to make people prove to them they are worth keeping around by kow-towing to them. I just pointed out all the good things I've done for the company without kissing ass
[00:29:41] <SpallsHurgenson> but c'mon, I went in and sat down and they started with a "I didn't say you could sit" comment.
[00:29:45] <BadCoderFinger> Bonus points for standing on principles.
[00:30:04] <mechanicjay> SpallsHurgenson: that's ballsy
[00:30:19] <BadCoderFinger> Oh man, that's when you say, "Oh, sorry, I didn't know I needed permission to sit." And then hand them your badge.
[00:30:22] <SpallsHurgenson> (I said, "that's okay, I'm sure you were going to" :)
[00:30:28] <mechanicjay> SpallsHurgenson: the only proper response is, "I'm an adult, I think I can determine when I can sit"
[00:30:44] <mechanicjay> lol, nice!
[00:31:01] <BadCoderFinger> They're more interested in building their little fiefdoms instead of success, so definitely get out of there.
[00:31:29] <SpallsHurgenson> to be fair, I'd been hearing horror stories about those meetings from others all week. I went in with an attitude :-)
[00:31:49] <BadCoderFinger> As you should!
[00:32:41] <BadCoderFinger> I once had a contract end because they said I "wasn't social enough with the managers."
[00:33:18] <SpallsHurgenson> thing is, at the end they were sort of apologetic about the whole thing so I may have impressed them.
[00:33:35] <BadCoderFinger> Still, that's not a healthy workplace.
[00:33:38] <SpallsHurgenson> (or they were just bullshitting me... but it felt very "Office Space" :)
[00:34:03] <BadCoderFinger> The next decide-who-to-layoff meeting will be held in secret with no chance of defense.
[00:35:10] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm not sure the C-levels will last that long
[00:35:27] <SpallsHurgenson> they've been coming and going faster than regular staff :)
[00:36:47] <BadCoderFinger> Yes, but it only takes one overpaid beancounter to see a quarter's worth advantage in eliminating teams wholesale, and that's the end.
[00:37:23] <BadCoderFinger> You should polish up the resume, even if they don't lay you off, they're certainly not on the path to financial success.
[00:37:35] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, they've been eliminating departments... but it seems half of their responsibilities were getting folded into mine
[00:37:56] <SpallsHurgenson> but if it happens, it happens. Things will work out.
[00:38:11] <SpallsHurgenson> and if they don't, I'll just resort to plan B
[00:38:18] <SpallsHurgenson> WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!11!!!!!
[00:38:33] <BadCoderFinger> Hey move out to Denver. Decent tech center, and lots of Colorado beer!
[00:39:11] <SpallsHurgenson> oh c'mon, who ever heard of an evil Overlord working out of Denver?
[00:39:41] <BadCoderFinger> NORAD is nearby, so it's a good spot for it.
[00:40:04] <SpallsHurgenson> that's not where the overlords are, that's just where the minions work :)
[00:40:33] <BadCoderFinger> Yes, but if you're looking to take over, it's good to keep an eye on the minions.
[00:41:10] <SpallsHurgenson> that's what my Dragon is for.
[00:41:24] <BadCoderFinger> The space vehicle?
[00:41:36] <AndyTheAbsurd> SpallsHurgenson: the evil overlords who are good at being evil overlords choose an unusual home base...and build a looming, forbidding fortress to lure in the unsuspecting would-be heroes, who then get roasted alive by the automated flamethrowers or cut up by the automated axes or whatever...then even if they survive that, all they find out is YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY THERE.
[00:41:44] <BadCoderFinger> Wow, with a few internets lying around, you can get your own space vehicle!
[00:42:42] * BadCoderFinger resolves to save more internets.
[00:43:59] * SpallsHurgenson imagines BadCoderFinger marching about town carrying a "Save The Internet" placard
[00:44:23] <BadCoderFinger> With a cup to deposit the internets in.
[00:44:41] <SpallsHurgenson> I thought the internet came in a little black box (with a blinking red light)
[00:44:54] <BadCoderFinger> It now comes in travel size.
[00:45:25] <BadCoderFinger> Internet-on-the-go!
[00:45:51] <crutchy> patented by the csiro
[00:45:51] <SpallsHurgenson> but it still has the blinking red light, right? It can't be an Internet if it doesn't have a blinky light!

[00:46:28] <crutchy> blinkenlight
[00:47:42] <BadCoderFinger> Relax und vatch das blinkenlights!
[00:48:43] <SpallsHurgenson> every job I have, I always post a blinkenlight poster on the switches :)
[00:49:06] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[00:49:48] <BadCoderFinger> I post signs warning of high levels of sarcasm. It's only fair to warn the coworkers.
[00:50:25] <SpallsHurgenson> shit, I can't find my blinkenlights file. I may need it soon :)
[00:50:55] <crutchy> profuse monty python jokes probably also warrants warning posters
[00:51:36] <Bytram> SpallsHurgenson: it's in the Jargon File under 'blinkenlights'
[00:51:48] <Bytram> ACHTUNG! ALLES LOOKENSPEEPERS! Das

[00:52:15] <Bytram> =)
[00:52:24] <crutchy> that's the one :D
[00:52:32] <SpallsHurgenson> indeed :)
[00:53:26] <crutchy> i remember giving ciri an infusion of jargon file content ages ago
[00:53:55] <crutchy> it's probably been heavily diluted with batcave filth by now
[00:53:57] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, such a shame ciri isn't here to share it with us
[00:54:18] <SpallsHurgenson> (that's some of that sarcasam BadCoderFinger was talking about :)
[00:54:21] <Bytram> there's more...
[00:54:22] <Bytram> This silliness dates back at least as far as 1959 at Stanford
[00:54:23] <Bytram> University and had already gone international by the early 1960s,
[00:54:23] <Bytram> when it was reported at London University's ATLAS computing site.
[00:54:23] <Bytram> There are several variants of it in circulation, some of which
[00:54:24] <Bytram> actually do end with the word `blinkenlights'.
[00:54:55] <SpallsHurgenson> http://www.catb.org
[00:54:58] <Bytram> and, not to be outdone with broken german bu english-speaking folks...
[00:55:32] <SpallsHurgenson> it apparently dates back to WW2
[00:56:00] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Normal Site Operations Restored - http://sylnt.us - 503s-suck
[00:56:05] <Bytram> or, someone made a backreference to WWII with a verison of blinkenlights
[00:56:33] <Bytram> here's a German counterversion:
[00:56:35] <Bytram> ATTENTION
[00:56:35] <Bytram> This room is fullfilled mit special electronische equippment.
[00:56:35] <Bytram> Fingergrabbing and pressing the cnoeppkes from the computers is
[00:56:35] <Bytram> allowed for die experts only! So all the "lefthanders" stay away
[00:56:35] <Bytram> and do not disturben the brainstorming von here working
[00:56:36] <Bytram> intelligencies. Otherwise you will be out thrown and kicked
[00:56:38] <Bytram> anderswhere! Also: please keep still and only watchen
[00:56:40] <Bytram> astaunished the blinkenlights.
[00:57:02] <SpallsHurgenson> the jargon file says "We are informed that cod-German parodies of this kind were very common in Allied machine shops during and following WWII. Germans, then as now, had a reputation for being both good with precision machinery and prone to officious notices."
[00:57:53] <Bytram> SpallsHurgenson: which version of the jargon file are you looking at? I've got jarg400.txt
[00:58:01] <SpallsHurgenson> you'd think if it dated back only to the 60s it would probably be poking fun at the Rooskies
[00:58:12] <Bytram> #======= THIS IS THE JARGON FILE, VERSION 4.0.0, 24 JUL 1996 =======#
[00:58:16] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm at the website
[00:58:35] <Bytram> might be just a bit newer, then.
[00:58:57] <SpallsHurgenson> 4.4.7 apparently
[01:09:03] * SpallsHurgenson manages to escapes the jargon file... that thing is almost as bad as wikipedia or tvtropes!
[01:09:39] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[01:14:12] <SpallsHurgenson> Perseids season is almost on us. I wish I had a sky to see 'em.
[01:16:46] <BadCoderFinger> A big fan to blow away the clouds and pollution?
[01:17:05] <SpallsHurgenson> its more the light issue
[01:19:51] <SpallsHurgenson> plan A is to drive some 300 miles to some place it is suitably dark
[01:20:00] <SpallsHurgenson> and then there is - as always - Plan B
[01:20:11] <BadCoderFinger> Youtube?
[01:20:29] <SpallsHurgenson> no, WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!11!!!!!
[01:20:35] <SpallsHurgenson> Plan B is always WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!11!!!!!
[01:21:02] <BadCoderFinger> I think you might need to have a few more options between 'A' and 'B'
[01:21:22] <BadCoderFinger> Pretty high on that list might be, "Aw, screw it, beer time."
[01:21:34] <SpallsHurgenson> admittedly, I don't scale well :)
[01:22:31] <BadCoderFinger> And, owing to your particular proclivities, you don't need pants for beer to be a viable solution.
[01:24:14] <BadCoderFinger> Speaking of beer, I think I should go drink!

[01:30:42] <JamesNZ> You are wearing pants.
[01:31:05] * JamesNZ waits for SpallsHurgenson to explode
[01:32:01] <SpallsHurgenson> the only thing that keeps me from responding is that I'd have to make an account to reply. I never thought I'd be glad for the walled-gardens of internet forums.
[01:32:14] <SpallsHurgenson> if it was usenet, I'd so be tearing him a new one :) :) :)
[01:34:12] <SirFinkus> fucking cords and wheeled chairs
[01:34:16] <SirFinkus> the worst thing in the world
[01:34:24] <SirFinkus> actually worse than war crimes
[01:35:02] * SpallsHurgenson googles "fucking cords"
[01:35:20] <SpallsHurgenson> oh. oh dear. I think I made a mistake.
[01:35:41] <SirFinkus> https://www.youtube.com
[01:35:43] <exec> └─ 13Tesla - YouTube
[01:35:47] * SirFinkus actually has a link for that
[01:36:53] <SpallsHurgenson> things like that are why I love the internet
[01:37:15] <SirFinkus> that is an actual tesla thing, the music was added by the dude
[01:37:47] <SirFinkus> just wait until the image processing goes wrong and it comes up your toilet
[01:37:53] <SpallsHurgenson> telsa should buy his video and use it as a real advert
[01:38:11] <SirFinkus> their video too, so they should just rip it off
[01:45:11] <mechanicjay> Alright guys - 3rd party authenticators (Google / facebook logins) to a site, vs a local username/password -- discuss
[01:45:49] <SpallsHurgenson> facebook? doesn't ring a bell
[01:46:11] <Bytram> I don't wanna give google/facebook any more info that they don't really need
[01:46:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> mechanicjay: anything that doesn't offer two factor authentication bites the bag. Since Google has 2FA, and isn't Facebook, it wins.
[01:46:18] <Bytram> keep it local!
[01:47:36] <mechanicjay> AndyTheAbsurd: that's fair from a security standpoint.
[01:48:07] <SpallsHurgenson> I tend to create new personalities for each site to make data-tracking more difficult; using a centralized authority would run contrary to that goal
[01:48:15] <mechanicjay> My issue is data collection, right? I don't need GooBook knowing every site I log into.
[01:48:26] <mechanicjay> SpallsHurgenson: exactly the argument I'm having with someone on the topic.
[01:49:04] <mechanicjay> I'm trying to say that createing a new Identity for every service, you're protecting yourself in the case of databreached -- it compartmentalizing things limiting the scope of damage
[01:49:21] <JamesNZ> Bytram: How do you know they don't need more info?
[01:49:23] <mechanicjay> I'm basically being called an irresponsible professional for taking that approach.
[01:49:55] <mechanicjay> JamesNZ: They always need more -- it's how they make their money.
[01:50:17] <Bytram> two-factor auth, As I understand how google implements it, is a confirmation via your cell phone. is that correct?
[01:50:26] <JamesNZ> mechanicjay: I know.
[01:50:41] * Bytram hasn't used it; genuine quesiton
[01:50:45] <mechanicjay> I think so yes -- so Now google knows 1) what service you're authing to, 2) Your location
[01:50:46] <SpallsHurgenson> either via SMS to a mobile or to a secondary e-mail address
[01:51:19] <mechanicjay> SMS isn't so bad then -- was thinking it was push-based notification like Duo Security.
[01:51:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> Bytram: doesn't *have* to be cell phone - they have a "Google Authenticator" app for Android and iOS; it generates a pseudorandom number ala RSA key fobs, you enter it and they validate it.
[01:51:37] <Bytram> SMS to mobile ==> gotta have my phone number ==> quick DB lookup ==> they now know my name, address, etc.
[01:51:41] <Bytram> hmmm
[01:51:45] <SpallsHurgenson> (Googles TFA options, that is)
[01:51:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> they do have SMS as a fallback if you've given them a phone number.
[01:52:07] <Bytram> app for andriod and ios... those sound like cell phones to me/
[01:52:28] <SpallsHurgenson> they used to let you use a landline too; a computer voice would call you and speak out the authentication code :)
[01:52:31] <AndyTheAbsurd> there are tablets available running both platforms
[01:52:35] <SirFinkus> the sms thing is a fall back for the google shit
[01:52:48] <SirFinkus> I don't think you need a phone number for the app
[01:52:59] <SirFinkus> just IOS or Android
[01:53:01] <AndyTheAbsurd> and I know at least some of the Android ones are wifi only, no cellular connectivity.
[01:53:47] <SirFinkus> granted, google and apple will know your shit anyway, just the stie using them won't
[01:53:55] <Bytram> I've done a few things with DBs over the years, but am by no means a guru; yet, I can join tables and make inferences based on publicly available information that gives me the heebee geebees about what THEY are capable of.
[01:53:56] <SpallsHurgenson> some ios devices are wifi-only too
[01:54:02] <SirFinkus> I've heard they even use them on private torrent trackers
[01:54:12] <SpallsHurgenson> but you can get some pretty accurate location information from just wifi
[01:54:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> I don't keep track of Apple shit because their UIs infuriate me
[01:54:22] <Bytram> SpallsHurgenson++
[01:54:22] <Bender> karma - spallshurgenson: 24
[01:54:47] <Bytram> whether its Google or Apple, they sure as heck are trying to keep track of *you*
[01:55:03] <mechanicjay> Does anyone else do as SpallsHurgenson and I do, new identities everywhere to limit the scope of information leakage and damage when a compromise occurs? Or am I in the minority?
[01:55:19] <Bytram> and, with Windows 10, it looks like Microsoft has decided to not only join the party, but try and catch up for lost time.
[01:55:19] <SirFinkus> it's too hard
[01:55:51] <SirFinkus> new identity every time you need to order some bullshit of some random site, or get support
[01:55:56] <Bytram> it is hard, so I keep it simple and restrict the things that I do that conveys data to 'them'
[01:56:10] <SirFinkus> because companies don't have customer support anymore, they just direct you to the forums
[01:56:15] <SpallsHurgenson> a lot of bullshit sites I just use mailinator accounts
[01:56:29] <SirFinkus> how the fuck they pulled that scam off, I have no idea
[01:56:36] <SpallsHurgenson> (or reuse them, since 9 times out of 10 someone has already beaten me to it :)
[01:56:49] <SirFinkus> microsoft even gives people little forum badges for working for them
[01:57:12] <SirFinkus> I can't imagine the hell of providing support on a microsoft forum
[01:57:22] <Bytram> I am wary of 'loyalty cards', rewards points, and all that kind of crap which just serves to make it possible to join information across disparate databases
[01:57:35] <SirFinkus> oh, I don't touch that shit
[01:57:53] <SirFinkus> I don't want target to know if I'm pregnant
[01:58:22] * Bytram used to test updates to a data warehouse way back in the day
[01:58:29] <mechanicjay> But why not? Then they can target adds and coupons to you!!!

[01:58:33] <SirFinkus> it's terrifying
[01:58:41] <Bytram> 'XACTLY!
[01:59:13] <SpallsHurgenson> especially since even if you give stores fake info for loyalty cards, it often gets overwritten with real info if you use a credit card
[01:59:23] <Bytram> Umm, if *Sir* Finkus is pregnant, I don't think it will be long before the word will get out to *everyone*
[01:59:24] <mechanicjay> I agree, the whole complete and utter BULL SHIT premise that people don't mind adds if they're relevant is infuriating.
[01:59:36] <Bytram> agreed
[01:59:39] <SirFinkus> I didn't say I was keeping it
[01:59:45] <mechanicjay> lol
[01:59:53] <SpallsHurgenson> mechanicjay: especially since "relevant" adverts are still very hit-or-miss
[01:59:59] <SirFinkus> maybe they know that too, and they'd start sending me ads for coat hangers
[01:59:59] <Bytram> I need a break; story queue is running low; biab
[02:00:14] <mechanicjay> This topic could make a fun ask soylent
[02:00:16] <Bytram> not necessarily in that order :/
[02:00:36] <mechanicjay> SpallsHurgenson: exactly
[02:00:36] <Bytram> great idea! submit it as a story and I'll make SURE it gets out there
[02:00:59] <mechanicjay> Bytram: yeah yeah yeah
[02:01:00] <mechanicjay> ;)
[02:01:54] <SpallsHurgenson> oddly enough, thanks to the NSA people are becoming (ever so slowly) more aware of the advantages of compartmentalizing their info.
[02:02:27] * mechanicjay goes to sub an Ask Soylent story
[02:02:28] <SpallsHurgenson> the government has shown people how powerful huge databases of information about a person can be.

[03:14:19] <takyon> rather-be-there.jpg
[03:14:57] <crutchy> hopefully its not the same type of 'fog' as in bhopal in the 80's
[03:15:52] <crutchy> Bytram, i live near a power station cooling pond which is basically a perpetual fog generator
[03:16:15] <takyon> great for halloween
[03:16:41] <crutchy> most mornings there is fog in certain areas. if you drive along its south bank you can sometimes see it rolling down the bank which looks cool

[03:21:12] <Bytram> crutchy: that sounds like it would make a nice youtube video!
[03:21:41] <crutchy> it would! never tried searching for it. there's a university campus near there so someone might have made one

[03:27:32] <Ethanol-fueled> (sorry guys, stepped out for a bit)
[03:27:51] <Ethanol-fueled> Yes, crutchy, we do, but only in mountainous areas where there is a risk of forest fires during dry seasons
[03:28:00] <Ethanol-fueled> camping is still allowed but no campfires.
[03:28:23] <Ethanol-fueled> This happens during the summer (now) when 2 or 3 forest fires always mysteriously happen at the same time in California.
[03:28:30] <Ethanol-fueled> Probably by firemen to justify their jobs.
[03:28:48] <takyon> heh
[03:29:03] <crutchy> firey's are known to cause them sometimes here too
[03:29:25] <crutchy> its probably more thinking they can handle it or something

[03:30:57] <crutchy> there's usually a lot of backburning going on during spring months

[03:31:50] <crutchy> we don't have that many problems around bigger towns. most of the damage is done in inaccessible bush, but it can turn into thousands of hectares pretty quick
[03:32:07] <Ethanol-fueled> But the fucking hippies, who should be for that, are against it because the occasional bird gets jacked up in the turbine blades and they think the solar panels fuck up the habitat.
[03:32:16] <crutchy> 10GW!!!!
[03:32:22] <crutchy> shit that's a big solar farm!
[03:32:37] <Ethanol-fueled> (or was it megawatts?) let me lok it up...
[03:32:57] <Subsentient> hi Ethanol-fueled
[03:32:58] <crutchy> we have multiple 500MW generators around here and they're pretty big
[03:33:21] <Ethanol-fueled> Er...150 MW.
[03:33:35] <crutchy> ah yeah that's still pretty big though for solar
[03:33:38] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck, I wish it were 10 GW, hahah

[03:34:14] <crutchy> need to put the breaks on earth rotation too
[03:34:16] <SpallsHurgenson> 10GW is a lot of power, crutchy. You can make 8 trips through time with that sort of juice
[03:34:37] <crutchy> yeah. or is that jiggawatts?
[03:34:50] <crutchy> might be orders of magnitude out here
[03:35:22] <crutchy> it only sounds big if you have crazy white haair

[05:39:56] <Gravis> like -1 Misinformative or something
[05:40:31] <Gravis> or maybe just -1 Misinformation
[05:40:35] <SirFinkus> might be a good idea
[05:41:06] <SirFinkus> I'd just worry about people using it for "gray area" things, like stats that could be interpreted two different ways depending on your perspective
[05:42:12] <takyon> -0 Disagree is fine
[05:42:39] <takyon> in the end, the way to fight misinfo is with info in a reply
