How can I determine if it came from her account (in which case I should warn her?) or elsewhere? 01:21:27 Oh, maybe that's just part of a redirect of the account creation page, and not the actual submit target. 01:21:39 Sgeo_: Sometimes you can tell from the Received: headers. 01:21:54 Hmm, what am I looking for? 01:22:17 Well, the bottom-most one would be the first email server the message went through. 01:23:10 You can try guesstimating whether that looks plausible for whatever sort of email-sending thing your aunt would be using. (E.g. if it's a webmail account, those usually have standard outgoing-mail servers things go through.) 01:23:21 Or you could just compare it to a known-good message's chain of headers. 01:25:23 (Some of them might be fake, though I'm not sure how popular that is.) 01:25:24 <\oren\> none of the qikbuks tek suprt numbers get answers 01:25:32 I think it really did come from her account 01:25:35 Let me email her 01:26:02 -!- bb010g has joined. 01:26:23 <\oren\> i called all of them, no anser and no nswering machine, so I couldn't leave them a rickroll either 01:28:56 <\oren\> that doens't make any sense either, i thought they were plastering these numbers places so people will call them?!! 01:29:30 Maybe they're overwhelmed with clients. 01:31:01 <\oren\> usually though that means you'll be stuck waiting, not simply have no answer 01:33:58 I'm drawing runic characters and it seems that there are not much resources on the (hopefully) complete list of known variations to each letters 01:34:45 I knew the Unicode encoding of runic characters is based on the "idealized" glyphs modulo accidental duplication without a shared history 01:35:21 but then it might be sensible to think about the variation selectors to select a particular variant of each letter, while there are not 01:48:01 -!- boily has joined. 01:54:57 ahoily!

Maybe I’m getting better at C logic. 11:31:49 What do the common compilers tend to do with signed ints that don’t fit? 11:33:05 Just truncate the bits? 11:33:43 Melvar: truncate the bits, and often delete any codepaths that would only run if the number was out of range 11:34:10 Thanks. 11:34:36 fizzie: huh, turns out there's a different spambot attacking us too but it got caught in the existing filters 11:35:33 also there's no pattern in the spammer IPs 11:35:42 my theory is that it's posting from compromised machines 11:36:19 -!- boily has joined. 11:36:26 (Coding a representation of a subset of C integer types and want the casting to work right.

I had so far decided to make it a type error, maybe I should put it in then. 11:44:15 I assume you're trying to do some sort of certified-C compiler? 11:44:21 No. 11:45:20 I’m doing some sort of attempt to improve an FFI. 11:46:20 Melvar: gcc might just optimize the code away :p 11:48:22 Which can only pass int and fixed-size types. So you have to look up what size other things are and use the fixed-size types. So my plan is to read out what the size is on the current system and define an appropriate type alias mapping to one instance of this type I’m defining. 11:50:48 I.e. generate something like “SizeT : Type; SizeT = Int' Unsigned IT64” on my home system. 12:02:31 ais523: There was another cloud provider in the list when I was looking. 12:02:51 this means that compromised servers is the most likely source 12:03:02 if the spammers were renting the servers themselves they wouldn't be on such a range of providers 12:05:14 Pedantic nit: it's not "~ with an offset of 1" on a platform that doesn't use two's-complement. 12:05:58 Because ~ actually works in terms of bits of the representation, while the modulo for - works in terms of the value. 12:06:16 Er. 12:06:20 Unsigned, right, right. 12:06:29 Never mind then. 12:07:58 right, unsigned 12:08:05 ah, that's a good point 12:08:14 ~ is defined on signed numbers but works on individual bits 12:09:07 so on sign-magnitude, ~65530 is -5 12:16:38 -!- ais523 has quit. 12:18:31 -!- boily has quit (Quit: VAPOUR CHICKEN). 12:21:42 -!- mauris has joined. 12:27:31 aah, RIP Minsky :( 12:41:54 -!- ais523 has joined. 12:49:02 ooh, I think there's an answer to how MTGO would deal with a Turing machine construction (that didn't terminate very quickly): https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/42ri7z/weirdest_rules_interaction/czcqx2b 12:49:08 that's its behavour on a trivial infinite loop 12:49:21 and there's nothing about it that would vary for large finite loops 13:03:55 -!- ais523 has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 13:09:36 -!- J_Arcane has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds). 13:21:09 -!- SopaXT has joined. 13:21:32 I just made a 1/8 glider emitter in game of life 13:21:47 It consists of four Gosper Glider Guns 13:23:33 It uses block synth 13:23:46 Two gliders collide to make a block 13:24:10 Later, two gliders collide with a newborn block and only 1 escapes 13:44:42 -!- oerjan has joined. 13:45:18 -!- J_Arcane has joined. 13:46:04 -!- MDream has changed nick to MDude. 13:47:16 @tell FreeFull oerjan: Can you show it diverges for k > 1?

But I'm an anecdote. 16:49:33 You know, I just thought of something 16:49:36 Did you get them with any probiotics? 16:49:41 FreeFull, no idea 16:50:22 We need to minimize people's use of antibiotics to when they're absolutely essential. You know what's limited to that too, chemo. So we need to call antibiotics chemotherapy or something. 16:50:57 And a lot of the stuff antibiotics can easily treat would be about as scary as cancer before antibiotics exist 16:52:48 Also on the flipside, people who are taking antibiotics to treat something shouldn't stop just because they are starting to feel better. You need to make sure to actually kill all the bad bacteria, or they will come back, in a more resistant form 16:53:55 I don't think there's an analogue of that in chemo, is there? 16:54:17 Although we don't want to scare people into stopping antibiotics, yeah' 16:55:21 You definitely don't want people doing shit like taking antibiotics for a viral infection though 16:57:01 If we knew then what we know now about antibiotic abuse, do you think the discovers of antibiotics would be able to keep things a bit saner somehow? 16:59:16 -!- Reece` has joined. 17:03:15 -!- bender| has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 17:11:17 Oh, there is an analogue of that: For both antibiotics and chemotherapy, you FOLLOW THE DOCTOR'S ORDERS (or potentially get other DOCTOR opinions) 17:12:00 You don't walk out of a chemo session because it hurts too much, you don't quit antibiotics because you're feeling better 17:12:41 Actually I guess I don't know much about chemo, hmm 17:14:05 Actually, when is FOLLOW THE DOCTOR's ORDERS ever actually contraindicated? 17:14:44 I haven't really been consistent with my own meds >.>, but in my case it might be less severe I hope 17:18:41 -!- bb010g has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity). 17:30:46 -!- zadock has joined. 17:38:25 -!- SopaXT has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 17:39:22 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 17:43:01 Well I just delirumed (or maybe it's not delerium anymore?) a game that could exist.
