13:37 * TheWatcher arghs, hairpulls
13:37
<@TheWatcher>
Indentation is not hard
13:37
<@TheWatcher>
Bloody editors do it for you
13:38
<@TheWatcher>
how do these students screw it up so much?!
13:40
<&[R]>
I disable ot in vim
13:40
<&[R]>
Since i end up fighting it more often than it helps
13:42
<@TheWatcher>
Well, vim, there's your problem~
13:42 * TheWatcher flrrrrd
14:14 * TheWatcher tells students that they should never, ever, for any reason, use gets()
14:15 * TheWatcher eyes assignment submission from student... that uses gets()
14:16
< catadroid>
Problem is you told them it exists
14:17
<&[R]>
Tell them their program crashes. Give them the error but not the input.
14:19
<&[R]>
echo `xxd /dev/urandom` | ./a.out
14:19
<&[R]>
Err forgot a tail -100 there
14:51
< catadroid>
Soooo I just spent a good five minutes giggling with some fellow developers about Wang tiling.
14:51
< catadroid>
Professional adults, are those in games
14:57
< catadroid>
Also, Qt finally bows to my will

< catadroid>
Sadly the little asshole got away from me again and is inserting padding where there should be none

18:00 * VirusJTG gives cata a clue-by-four
18:07
<@celticminstrel>
How many inches to a clue?
18:08
<@Tamber>
Four and seven thirty-seconds.
18:08
<@celticminstrel>
Nice fraction.
18:09
<@Tamber>
Imperial is good for those.

<&VirusJTG>
a clue-by-four is a 2x4 with a handel carved in one end used to beat a clue into the "student"
19:04
<@celticminstrel>
Lifting a 2x4 from one end sounds pretty hard.
19:04
<@Tamber>
Depends on how long it is.
19:06
<&ToxicFrog>
"the Union of Concerned Category Theorists have set their clock at two minutes to endofunctor joke"
19:07
<@celticminstrel>
Oh right.
19:07
<@celticminstrel>
2x4 only indicates the cross-section.
19:29 * VirusJTG nods
19:29
<&VirusJTG>
I find about 3 feet in length to be the optimal length of a clue-by-four

<&VirusJTG>
oh joy.....
19:52
<@Tamber>
Well, then.
19:53
<&McMartin>
It's got a patch for it too
19:53
<&McMartin>
The actual sploit is hilarious
19:57
<&ToxicFrog>
That's fantastic
19:59
<&VirusJTG>
that is an amusing exploit
20:02
<&jerith>
<3
20:03 * jerith send the link to his security colleague.
20:03
<&jerith>
She's probably already seen it, but she'll be much amused.
20:03 * VirusJTG sends link to netadmin in the AU
20:10
<@gnolam>
McMartin: haha
20:50 * TheWatcher eyes McMartin's link
20:50
<@TheWatcher>
... that's glorious
20:52
<&McMartin>
What's even better is that I suddenly realized how this was going to go as soon as I saw the first chunk of C, where it is clear that bankswitching has no range checks
20:53
<&McMartin>
"Oh god they're going to bankswitch the save files into something critical"
20:53
<&McMartin>
(The writable $6000 range is where battery-backed RAM went)
