00:23:35 <oerjan> apropos flammable, the local paper factory's storage caught fire yesterday morning. and afaict a couple hours ago, it's still smoking.
00:24:52 <kmc> yikes
00:25:29 <oerjan> i read in the newspaper they expected it would take several days to put out completely
00:26:21 <oerjan> also that the building had no fire alarm, because no one had required it.
00:26:50 <Bike> in a paper factory?
00:26:51 <oerjan> despite being next to a gas tank.
00:27:10 <Bike> wow this sounds pretty awesome.
00:27:18 <oerjan> Bike: well other buildings may have had alarms.
00:28:26 <kmc> several days is bad, but not as bad as the underground coal fires that have been burning for decades
00:28:39 <oerjan> indeed
00:29:04 <Roujo> What does twh even mean =P
00:29:11 <oerjan> that would help hth

00:29:34 <Roujo> Okay =P

01:57:27 <Bike> shouldn't you call that a third-level domain name or w/e

02:23:53 <kmc> no, why is tihs your weekend
02:24:14 <Sgeo> Product wants to look at what we have on Monday and we're launching Wednesday
02:24:28 <kmc> are you getting paid extra to work all weekend?
02:24:50 <Sgeo> I don't think so. I haven't really been asking to get paid extra
02:25:12 <oerjan> Sgeo: iirc browsers need to guess whether a.foobar.com has authority over foobar.com itself, and use a ridiculously complicated system for this hth
02:25:47 <oerjan> i vaguely think there was a database of domains evolved
02:26:12 <oerjan> and possibly no consistency between browsers
02:26:26 <Sgeo> Fuck cookies.
02:26:46 <Bike> that's the spirit.

02:31:09 <Sgeo> I think legally I should be getting extra

02:31:33 <Sgeo> I am asking for my raise which I'm supposed to have
02:31:54 <Sgeo> They're saying I should have asked sooner when I noticed it didn't go through because retropay is going to cause them headaches

02:32:23 <oerjan> *i am
02:33:12 <Bike> well, probably you should have, but no use crying over spilt milk
02:33:37 <oerjan> wait why did i allow myself into cynical mode.
02:34:03 <Phantom_Hoover> man it's been a while since i heard that saying
02:34:18 <kmc> oerjan: there's the Public Suffix List
02:34:38 <Sgeo> What if it's milk that reacts with saltwater in such a way as to... do something
02:34:43 <kmc> I think most tech workers are exempt from overtime laws
02:34:46 <kmc> also what
02:34:57 <Phantom_Hoover> how can you be exempt from overtime laws
02:35:09 <Phantom_Hoover> is it a contractual thing or are the laws just like "ps. fuck tech workers"
02:35:10 <Sgeo> I'm a contractor currently
02:35:18 <kmc> lots of kinds of workers are exempt
02:35:22 <kmc> look up "exempt worker", it's a thing
02:35:27 <kmc> I dunno how it works in .uk
02:35:27 <Sgeo> I should reread the contract
02:36:25 <kmc> often if you get a salary instead of hourly pay that makes you exempt
02:36:51 <Sgeo> I currently get hourly pay, but do want to become a full-time employee which I think would be salaried
02:38:16 <shachaf> What, you get hourly pay and the hours in the weekend just don't count?
02:38:49 <kmc> you gotta fight for your right to party
02:39:09 <Sgeo> shachaf: no, I just... haven't been bothering to put them in
02:40:57 <Phantom_Hoover> the capitalist's wet dream, a worker who can't be bothered to ask for pay
02:41:47 <kmc> no you should be motivated by PASSION and the fact that your employer is CHANGING THE WORLD and if you ask for more pay it's a sign that you're insufficiently devoted to the cause
02:42:15 <kmc> besides programmers don't like money anyway, we are magic children who just want free snacks and a pool table in the office

05:41:11 <kmc> when I first installed Linux I somehow managed to have the Linux partition occupy the second half of the drive and the Windows partition occupy the first and second halves of the drive
05:42:10 <pikhq> That's pretty easy to do with the partition table, but how'd you get a partition table editor to do that?
05:43:43 <ion> kmc: I don’t see the problem. You got 50 % more disk space for free.
05:45:12 <kmc> pikhq: I don't know...
05:45:37 <kmc> anyway it meant Windows crashed frequently, which meant I learned more about how to do things in Linux, so it was probably a good thing
05:45:53 <Sgeo> sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root on Xubuntu is great
05:46:18 <shachaf> I remember the time when I tried to get the MBR to run GRUB rather than the Windows bootloader.
05:46:47 <shachaf> I reasoned "GRUB is on /dev/hda4, so I should just be able to dd if=/dev/hda4 of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1"
05:47:08 <shachaf> But I made sure to put a backup of the old bootloader in my home directory first, so if anything went wrong I could just boot from a live CD and put it back.

05:50:07 <kmc> shachaf: why was it trouble? oh because you blew away the partition table?
05:50:12 <shachaf> Yep.
05:50:20 <shachaf> So I couldn't mount my home directory and get the old MBR back.
05:50:26 <kmc> I think it would work with some number less than 512, and some values of "work" which might mean "break for other reasons"
05:50:28 <ion> sgeo: Nice. I haven’t seen that icon Trash got for a while.

07:03:34 <kmc> a lot of people confuse it with Cal Poly
07:06:06 <kmc> shachaf: I finished reading the Smullyan book
07:07:20 <shachaf> kmc: is that a relationshipz joke
07:09:02 <shachaf> kmc: was the book as you expected
07:10:38 <Gracenotes> what this mean expected
07:11:02 <kmc> shachaf: it wasn't such a joke but it did occur to me as I wrote it
07:13:47 <kmc> there weren't a lot of complicated relationship-arrangements at Caltech (that I knew of) because it was mostly straight guys
07:13:55 <kmc> of course it's possible I just wasn't invited
07:14:08 <kmc> shachaf: I think it was as expected, yes
07:14:15 <kmc> given that I'd already read "Is God a Taoist?"
07:14:21 <kmc> what do you think of the book shachaf
07:14:56 <shachaf> i thought it was delightful when i read it maybe 5 years ago
07:15:02 <kmc> Sgeo: did you send me a NOTICE earlier? i'm just confused by things my client displays
07:15:14 <kmc> it's fairly delightful yes
07:15:47 <Sgeo> kmc: yes I did
07:15:53 <kmc> parts were both delightful and aggravating at the same time which is a good trick I guess
07:16:06 <shachaf> aggravating?
07:16:07 <Gracenotes> it seems like the number of non-straight males and the number of women are correlated in university departments
07:16:32 <Gracenotes> CS and engineering more generally is well known for its ratios.
07:16:33 <kmc> shachaf: like, playing a lot of games with words to evade saying anything meaningful
07:17:17 <kmc> Gracenotes: I don't actually know about the percentage of non-straight guys in CS -- is it significantly different from overall population?
07:17:22 <kmc> of course definitions can be tricky
07:17:47 <Gracenotes> different, perhaps not significantly?
07:18:06 <kmc> shachaf: of course that kind of thing is par for the course with taoist and zen stuff
07:18:09 <kmc> but i dunno
07:18:44 <kmc> some of it was a bit "communicating poorly and then acting smug when misunderstood"
07:18:50 <kmc> (on the part of one party in a dialogue)
07:19:37 <kmc> also I can't really get on board with the glib anti-morality but that's only sort of one view on it, and at other times he seems to be a utilitarian who just dislikes moralists and wants people to be good intrinsically, which is fine
07:19:43 -!- Taneb has joined.
07:19:50 <kmc> definitely the part that made me think the most was the stuff about doing good out of obligation vs. naturally
07:20:14 <kmc> but I also feel like my inner moralist hardass has pushed me towards better actions gradually
07:20:17 <kmc> but how would I know really
07:21:30 <shachaf> hmm
07:21:36 <Gracenotes> is there philosophy on the general notion of agency in life?
07:21:41 <Taneb> I would say doing good out of obligation is still good, because you can ignore most obligations
07:21:48 <Taneb> With enough willpower
07:22:16 <Gracenotes> not in a moral context, but action through inaction, etc.

08:09:14 <shachaf> kmc: is there an asymmetric cryptography thing where they keys are "symmetrical"
08:09:33 <shachaf> i.e. knowing one lets you encrypt (or sign) things for the other to decrypt (or verify), but you can't derive one key from the other
08:10:58 <kmc> maybe you could do that with RSA if you pick a random e instead of using 3 or whatever
08:11:13 <kmc> sounds dangerous tho

10:03:35 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection).
10:03:37 <kmc> but this is not true of all public-key algorithms
10:03:54 <kmc> and the stuff you need to go from "core mathematical operation" to "secure cryptosystem" is different for each function
10:04:58 <kmc> and generally it's easy to derive one key from the other, because the encryption/signing exponent will be fixed to 3 or 65537
10:05:16 <kmc> and also Sgeo is probably asleep because it's like 5 AM there

16:42:42 <fizzie> I can make a (susssasa(sv)i) easily, but that's not quite close enough.

17:11:47 <fizzie> Hum. Apparently giving a replaces_id of an old notification does not open a new one, unlike what I thought.
17:17:34 <fizzie> I don't know how I'm supposed to do a "replace existing notification or create new" thing; I'd track it manually, but I can't know when the notification gets closed.

22:59:48 <oerjan> <kmc> maybe you could do that with RSA if you pick a random e instead of using 3 or whatever <-- i always thought that worked, it would be pretty strange if choosing something other than 3 made the corresponding key easier to find in general, but maybe it depends.
23:00:30 <^v> 3 is the lowest though
23:00:36 <^v> and can be cracked in miliseconds
23:00:45 <Bike> how many milliseconds
23:00:57 <^v> depends on the computer :P
23:01:44 <oerjan> in fact here's an argument it cannot be easier for more than half of them: simply choose a random r and then try to crack both that and 3/r (mod phi(n) or thereabouts); if you can crack both, you've also cracked 3. i think. maybe.
23:05:42 <oerjan> because the multiple of the corresponding keys for r and 3/r is a key corresponding to 3, if i'm not thinking wrong.
23:16:07 <oerjan> <Phantom_Hoover> almost certainly <-- i dunno, who knows what those japanese have been doing without telling us gaijins
