07:02:54 <Sgeo_> Slightly strange that you'd use VCR if a DVR is present, also wondering why you needed to check two sources
07:03:09 <orin> videotapes aren't used anymore in Canada, but they are used a lot in Japan, so it' relative
07:05:26 <orin> Anyway DVR can have limitations as to getting the data off the DVR
07:06:26 <zzo38> As it turns out they connected it to an input on the DVD recorder on the main floor, so that is one way to copy it I suppose
07:06:52 <zzo38> Although someone else is using the DVR and that TV set so I don't want to fill up the disk space or to interfere with their TV shows
07:07:39 <zzo38> The reason I checked two sources is that the TV guide doesn't list shows on at 3AM

09:42:37 <orin> The %R specifier recurses into a pointer with the same format

19:01:11 <elliott> the Unicode support thing seems like kind of an outlier to me. I have a feeling that if Plan 9 didn't have such a focus on it, they'd consider it unnecessary bloat :p
19:08:36 <zzo38> If you want to add Unicode support into sed and stuff that using regular expression, is easy to do, is make up a regex modifier flag to enable UTF-8 in which case when it read the byte 0xC0-0xFF then read however many next bytes 0x80-0xBF are considered as part of the same character. Nothing else needs to be done, and now you can even turn it off by just not specifying this flag.
19:08:59 <zzo38> You shouldn't try to add in everything else like character classes and so on
19:10:52 <int-e> the meaning of [a-ä] is very different with and without the flag; you cannot encode the resulting unicode range conveniently in a 256 bit array.
19:13:10 <zzo38> That is true, but, such ranges are not likely what you would want anyways, whether or not the flag is set.
19:13:35 <int-e> (I have a DFA based regex engine around that uses arrays of size 256 for transitions.)
19:13:57 <int-e> (It would be ... interesting ... to try to make it work with utf-8)
19:14:54 <zzo38> You should instead use multiple ranges together if you really want to include both accented and unaccented letters in the same range like that.
19:16:40 <zzo38> int-e: Ah, well I suppose it may be possible to compile UTF-8-based regular expressions into byte-based regular expressions, like I explained how to compile the dot, for example
19:17:47 <int-e> I guess negating ranges is the tricky bit.
19:29:06 -!- copumpkin has quit (Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…).
19:29:46 <FireFly> I had an issue a while ago where a sed script worked differently depending on the locale, due to character ranges
19:30:30 <FireFly> it even happened when I used escapes. You'd think [\x30-\x3f] would unambiguously match the set of bytes 0x30..0x3f, but apparently it doesn't
19:30:40 <int-e> collating is the worst idea ever.
19:31:30 <elliott> it's almost like bolting unicode on in a kind of ad-hoc manner after the fact doesn't go to well :p
19:31:34 <int-e> No, [a-z] should not include B-Y and one of A or Z (I forgot which one), oh and äöüÄÖÜ while we're at it)
19:33:02 <elliott> character ranges just seem like a fundamentally poor idea for unicode to me...
19:37:38 <izabera> $ suckless sed 's/[à]/x/' <<< è
19:37:50 <zzo38> That's stupid it shouldn't use Unicode such thing
19:38:11 <zzo38> It shouldn't use the locale
19:40:33 <zzo38> In byte mode it should match all bytes in range, in UTF-8 mode it should match all sequences of bytes corresponding to the shortest UTF-8 encoding of the codepoints in the given range.
19:41:08 <izabera> zzo38: what do you mean with stupid? my example or their sed's behaviour?
19:41:30 <izabera> because it obviously should use unicode imho
19:41:50 <zzo38> No it shouldn't use Unicode, unless you set a flag to tell it to do so
19:42:12 <izabera> ??? why does that make any sense? the flag should be always active
19:42:37 <zzo38> No it shouldn't, you should use single byte encodings by default (the program doesn't have to care which)
19:43:22 <zzo38> The alternative is to provide a flag to turn it off instead
19:43:39 <izabera> your reasoning is maybe valid in a 1975 background
19:43:56 <int-e> `` LC_CTYPE=C sed 's/[à]/x/' <<< è
19:44:23 <int-e> `` sed 's/[à]/x/' <<< è
19:45:23 <HackEgo> LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 \ LANGUAGE= \ LC_CTYPE="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_NUMERIC="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_TIME="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_COLLATE="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_MONETARY="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_MESSAGES="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_PAPER="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_NAME="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_ADDRESS="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_TELEPHONE="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_MEASUREMENT="en_NZ.UTF-8" \ LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_NZ
19:45:38 <FireFly> New zealand? whatever floats your boat
19:45:44 <zzo38> But I think it shouldn't use the locale, instead add a regex flag after the / to tell it to use UTF-8, if you don't specify then it doesn't, and either way doens't care about what language or anything like that
19:46:06 <izabera> did you happen to read the posix standard
19:46:28 <zzo38> Now you have to add another shortcut that will change the locale to C when executing the command
19:47:17 <zzo38> In UNIX systems I have access to I had to even change the locale to C in my login scripts, since they did it bad too
19:47:27 <elliott> technically unicode did not exist in 1975 :p
19:48:13 <elliott> some parts of the locale system *do* seem to mess things up more than they help, but... that's unix for you
19:48:32 <izabera> you mean [a-z] matching X ?
19:48:41 <izabera> that's what [[:lower:]] is for
19:48:51 <elliott> I think [a-z] is kind of unreasonable to start with.
19:49:04 <zzo38> I still think [a-z] matching X is stupid unless case-insensitive mode is selected
19:49:17 <zzo38> By default it shouldn't do that
19:49:19 <elliott> (but I do admit that I have no idea how to reliably match "ASCII characters a to z". what if you're grepping for some programming language's syntax?)
19:49:43 <elliott> I find, e.g. locale-based ordering annoying in "ls". it messes up SHOUTYFILES coming first, iirc
19:50:21 <elliott> well, that's the other thing
19:50:27 <pikhq> (if [a-z[ in the C locale matches X yell at your vendor)
19:50:42 <elliott> sadly unix is a mess and a whole bunch of software is never going to make sure the locale is right for what it does in its scripts or whatever
19:50:54 <zzo38> I agree it is stupid, I want to force the locale to be C which is why I set up the login script to force the locale to C
19:50:55 <int-e> I hate almost everything about locales, but I do have LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (why the en_US?) set.
19:51:22 <zzo38> int-e: I too, but I prefer to set it to C instead of en_US.UTF-8
19:51:25 <elliott> (I do like localised software, and I do think all software should handle Unicode, no excuses.)
19:51:29 <pikhq> The C/Unix locale system isn't *that* bad, but very few people understand it well.
19:51:34 <elliott> (I just think the Unix locale system is about as much of a mess as Unix itself.)
19:51:45 <pikhq> elliott: You'd like musl's locale approach.
19:51:59 <pikhq> "Unicode is the only supported charset".
19:52:08 <int-e> (Actually I hate localised error messages, because I have to read them, rather than recognize them by pattern matching.)
19:52:09 <elliott> does musl even support locales to the point of letting you get error messages in your language from ls or whatever?
19:52:20 <zzo38> I disagree; only documentation and GUIs should be localised.
19:52:40 <pikhq> Nobody's bothered doing much localization, but there's locale infrastructure in place just fine.
19:52:41 <elliott> I know you disagree with almost everything I say >_>
19:52:44 <zzo38> And, not all software needs to handle Unicode; it depends on the software.
19:52:57 <int-e> elliott: you're wrong!
19:53:06 <zzo38> Most software probably shouldn't need to handle Unicode.
19:53:14 <pikhq> I think there's a couple omissions?
19:53:24 <pikhq> ... Oh *right*, it doesn't support localized collation.
19:54:00 <elliott> we should all go back to the original Emacs-on-TECO ported to TOPS-20, imo, argument over
19:54:04 <FireFly> [a-z] matching X if /i is given is reasonable to me
19:54:21 <elliott> oh nice TECO even ran on TOPS-20!
19:54:26 <FireFly> without /i any range should match exactly that range of bytes IMO
19:54:30 <pikhq> And (not exactly the same thing as locales, but somewhat relevant to some localized users) musl's iconv doesn't support *extensions* to its charset support ATM.
19:54:55 <zzo38> Making the sort command to support user-defined collation sequences (independent of chaacter set) seem reasonable to me; most other programs don't need to, but there are some such as SQLite that you can add extensions for user-defined collation sequences already too.
19:55:01 <elliott> izabera: I apologise for any part i had in starting this argument -_-
19:55:56 <pikhq> Which means you're going to have some issues if the legacy charset for your languange is not sufficiently common to have been implemented in iconv.
19:58:08 <zzo38> SQLite has no SQL commands to implement collation sequences, but you can write them in C and then load them using the LOAD_EXTENSION function in SQL.
19:58:42 <pikhq> So, SOL if it's not: UTF-8, UCS2, UTF-16, UTF-32, ASCII, EUC-JP, Shift-JIS, GB18030, GBK, GB2312, Big5, EUC-KR, ISO-8859*, or one of the more popular Windows code pages.
19:59:37 <int-e> what about EBCDIC?
19:59:51 -!- Nokaji has left.
20:00:18 <int-e> (IBM's proprietary encryption)
20:02:49 <zzo38> EBCDIC isn't very good; ASCII is better.
20:03:23 <zzo38> I usually use ASCII when possible though rather than any other characters sets; most are compatible with ASCII though, so won't be much problem
20:04:32 <int-e> Ah, from Wikipedia: Professor: "So the American government went to IBM to come up with an encryption standard, and they came up with—" Student: "EBCDIC!"
20:10:36 <Sgeo_> Is using cookies on GitHub Pages actually -safe-?
20:11:00 <Sgeo_> github.io is on the public suffix list
20:11:32 -!- copumpkin has joined.
20:14:46 <Sgeo_> As in, if I run a.github.io and use cookies for stuff, what chance does evil.github.io have of breaking stuff
20:16:25 <zzo38> The VCR I have has no zero-return function. You can reset the counter to zero, but doesn't have the mode to automatically fast-forward/rewind until reaching zero and then stop.
20:16:37 <int-e> it's a matter of setting the cookie's domain and path, isn't it?
20:17:52 <Sgeo_> What if evil overrides a cookie that a is using?
20:18:05 <Sgeo_> But public suffix list entry for github.io should block that I think
20:18:09 <Sgeo_> For browsers that use that list
20:18:16 <Sgeo_> Fuck cookies for needing a list like that
20:20:12 <int-e> Sgeo_: evil.github.io should not be able to set a cookie for a.github.io
20:20:13 <zzo38> Just mention on your webpage to add such an entry to the list
20:21:13 <int-e> (nor should the browser send a cookie for a.github.io in requests to evil.github.io)
20:22:13 <zzo38> Another thing you can use the client's IP address for additional security measures
20:24:01 <int-e> Sgeo_: I'd assume that the purpose of the "public suffix list" is that websites cannot set cookies with such suffixes; i.e. evil.github.io cannot set a cookie for the domain .github.io, which would then be sent along with all requests to github.io websites.
20:24:15 -!- boily has quit (Quit: MURAL CHICKEN).
20:24:25 <int-e> so I'm unsure what you're worried about here.
20:25:21 <Sgeo_> Browsers that don't use the Public Suffix List?
20:25:46 <int-e> the cookies would still be for the wrong domains.
20:26:08 <b_jonas> int-e: the cookies contain the domains, so the servers can just ignore such cookies
20:26:26 <zzo38> A user-defined public suffix list is probably a better idea, although you can still provide lists of default values too
20:26:36 <elliott> you don't need to guess what the public suffix list is for: https://publicsuffix.org/
20:26:51 <b_jonas> int-e: the goal of the public suffix list is to prevent a DOS attack and possibly information leakage where a website would make your browser send a dozen large cookies to every site with a *.com domain
20:27:23 <elliott> you could never set cookies for *.com, anyway
20:27:43 <int-e> elliott: "Avoid privacy-damaging "supercookies" being set for high-level domain name suffixes " is what I was thinking about
20:28:19 <int-e> b_jonas: I'm not sure what exactly I wrote that you think is wrong.
20:30:13 <int-e> (Except that I didn't consider the DoS angle of attack.)
20:31:14 <b_jonas> int-e: sorry, nothing, it's fine
