<@gnolam>
Argh.
13:41
<@gnolam>
The hardest problem in computer science.
13:42
<@gnolam>
Give me a name for a configuration property that controls the amount of time after which a user is automatically logged out.
13:43
<@Tamber>
time-out?
13:43
< abudhabi>
session length?
13:43
< [R]>
sessionLength
13:44
<@TheWatcher>
DEATHCLOCK
13:46
<@gnolam>
abudhabi, [R]: that might work. Thanks.
13:53
<@Tarinaky>
Tamber: time-out implies inactivity.
13:53
<@Tarinaky>
I'd elect for duration rather than length because length implies units of displacement.
13:55
<@Tamber>
Hmm.
13:55
<@Tamber>
I thought inactivity was implied, given the question.
13:55
<@Tamber>
Unless you want to forcibly kick them out in the middle of what they're doing. :p
13:56
<@Tarinaky>
It was ambiguous imo
14:24
<@Wizard>
TTL?
14:46
<@iospace>
annnnnd someone left their computer unlocked, again
14:46
<@Wizard>
Tamber: I've used forums that did that
14:46
<@iospace>
(not me)
14:48
<@Tarinaky>
iospace: Change the desktop background to an image telling the user how to lock their PC, that locking their PC is Policy and then lock their PC?
14:48
<@Tarinaky>
Or just lock their PC
14:48
<@iospace>
I didn't catch them
14:48
<@iospace>
:P
14:48
<@Tarinaky>
I'm sure I've forgotten to lock my pc once or twice :/
14:48
<@iospace>
(It's policy because of HIPAA and whatnot)
14:48
<@Wizard>
Tarinaky: The noble tradition at my uni dept is to change the desktop background to a rather traumatizing image of one of our lecturers
14:50
<@iospace>
heh
14:51
<@Wizard>
I wish I could find it
14:52
<@iospace>
usually it's someone editing a document you were working on or sending out silly IMs or emails
14:52
<@TheWatcher>
The ancient art of the Baggy pantsing
14:53
<@Tarinaky>
The trouble with those things is they have a risk of harm.
14:53
<@Tarinaky>
An innocuous edit to a document can go unnoticed.
14:54
<@Tarinaky>
And IMs/emails have the possibility of either being misconstrued by a third party or taken too far by 'that guy'
14:54
<@Tarinaky>
Desktop wallpaper changes are... maybe a 5 minute fix?
14:55
<@Wizard>
Five minutes to change a wallpaper?
14:55
<@Wizard>
What are you running, Gnome?
14:55
<@Tarinaky>
This is assuming the victim is inept and you're fixing it for them while laughing at them.
15:16 * TheWatcher eughs, really dislikes jQuery's approach to things
15:19
< [R]>
Oh?
15:26
<@TheWatcher>
I find things like writing jquery plugins to be clumbersome compared to mootools classes, for example
15:27
<@TheWatcher>
-l
15:27
<@TheWatcher>
It just feels more... seat-of-the-pantsy, somehow.
15:29
<@TheWatcher>
Like it's expressly designed for you to hammer out something quick and specific and not really care about reusability that much, I think.
15:29 * TheWatcher shrugs
15:29
<@TheWatcher>
Just feels awkward and wrong to me

I can't decide what to do for dinner.
16:22

food
16:54
<@iospace>
and someone else got busted with an unlocked computer
16:55
<&McMartin>
Haven't Windows, OS X, and Linux all autolocked after 10 minutes of inactivity for, like, forever?

<@Tamber>
I think you have to configure it to.
17:03
<@Tamber>
Company-wise, I'd expect it to be set via GPO.
17:06
<@iospace>
McMartin: if you get caught in that timeframe...
17:08
<@iospace>
it's set to 15 minutes
17:23 * Derakon rails against the former employee who decided it'd be a good idea to make a major component of the Java program be written in Clojure with nary a single line of comments anywhere.
17:23
<&Derakon>
Nothing against Clojure as a language, but you do not add a language to a project without very good reasons and at least one other employee who "speaks" it.
17:24
<&McMartin>
It targets the same binary so it's the same thing, right~
17:25
<&McMartin>
(This attitude seems more common amongst JVM sorts than .NET or raw binary sorts, it seems like)
17:25
<&McMartin>
(Which is funny because .NET was *actually explicitly designed for that*)
17:28
< [R]>
Likely due to the fact the main language for the platform for one is quite restrictive while the other provides a bunch more friendly features at the cost of having 80% of the main library trapped in a non-ported state.
17:28
<@Shiz>
at least with .net you can write in F#

18:09
<&ToxicFrog>
Derakon: that seems like something that should have been caught in code review.
18:12
<&McMartin>
Shiz: You can, but my understanding is that F# code is organized sufficiently differently from C# code that even people who like both suggest not mixing them.
18:12
<&McMartin>
Except at particularly sharp API boundaries, where "look like C#" is basically the norm
18:12
<&McMartin>
I wonder if any Unity projects use F# for the designer-side code.
18:15 AverageJoe [evil1@Nightstar-8fj10j.dsl.impulse.net] has quit [Connection closed]
18:20
<&McMartin>
ToxicFrog: This employee is no longer there, so it is also possible that it *did* pass code review but the reviewer also isn't there anymore
18:20
<&McMartin>
(Also code review is not remotely a panacea and I have no idea how people get decades of experience and end up thinking it is)
18:22
<&ToxicFrog>
McMartin: it's not, but things like "this module is in a language we don't use here" should set off alarms!
18:22
<&McMartin>
Right, so, this is also (a) in academia and (b) in a project with IIRC fewer than five developers total
18:23
<&ToxicFrog>
Aah.
18:23
<&McMartin>
A lot of things that "are totally alarms, what the fuck is wrong with you people" totally aren't until you become a gigantic company
18:34
<&Derakon>
Yeah, this was "we have two full-time developers, maximum".
18:34
<&Derakon>
AIUI (I wasn't there at the time) the other dev, and our boss, were both reluctant but not so much that they were willing to block the decision to use Clojure.
18:35
<&Derakon>
The vast, vast majority of our commits do not undergo code review because we simply don't have the resources.
18:35
<&McMartin>
Also, when you only have two developers, code review is far less effective even when you do it
18:35
<&McMartin>
Because you're going to be thinking roughly the same way
18:36
<&Derakon>
Mm, right now there's a pretty clear division of labor -- he works on the C++ side and I work on the Java side.
18:41
< kourbou>
who posted the Jawascript PNG before?

P McMartin: do you have any more pics like that? :P
18:43
<&McMartin>
I get fed silly pictures by people in a variety of channels, but most of them are not super-relevant to #code
18:58
<&Derakon>
Oh hey, anyone have a link to that "Python programmer writing Java" thing that was making the rounds a bit ago?
18:58
<&McMartin>
Probably - that was from the same source. One moment please.

But it generates a horrible dump directory with /all/ the project files in and there doesn't seem to be any way to trigger a CLI build after generating the project files :/
