I'm one minute in to the Mickens keynote and it's already amazing.
13:58
<@TheWatcher>
It gets better
14:07
< simon_>
what keynote?
14:07
<&ToxicFrog>
"I'm not saying that machine learning is a portal to a demon universe. I'm just saying that some doors are best left unopened."
14:07
<&ToxicFrog>
simon_: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajGX7odA87k
14:07
<&ToxicFrog>
Mickens's USENIX Security'18 keynote, "Q: Why Do Keynote Speakers Keep Suggesting That Improving Security Is Possible? A: Because Keynote Speakers Make Bad Life Decisions and Are Poor Role Models"
14:08
<@TheWatcher>
I was laughing my arse off at some points
14:11
< simon_>
that is so funny.
14:15
< simon_>
Q: I'm constructing a blacklist of search words that my company's search engine should throw an 'X-Robots-Tag: noindex' at the HTTP client for typing, and I figured I'd use Perl's fc() that is a sort-of Unicode compatible lowercase function called casefolding. so ß becomes ss, etc.
14:16
<&ToxicFrog>
"The Internet of Hate, which is often simply abbreviated to 'The Internet'"
14:16
< simon_>
but then I realized there's a bunch of variants with accent signs that this isn't catching. there's Unicode::Normalize::NFKD() which normalizes the way diacritical signs are positioned, and doing s/\p{NonspacingMark}//g should, according to a couple of posts online, remove those signs. that seems to work.
14:17
< simon_>
okay, never mind. just needed to speak out loud.
14:17
<@TheWatcher>
(Why are you blacklisting?)
14:17
< simon_>
there's no problem with doing NFKD(fc($word))
14:19
< simon_>
TheWatcher, for some reason, some people decided to link to https://oursite/search?q=xhamster which causes that search page to be indexed in google. I'm not sure what the consequence (or the economic gain) is, but apparently, for a bunch of inappropriate search words, oursite gets indexed.
14:19
< simon_>
maybe it increases the pagerank of xhamster that that word is mentioned in the context of a good-ranking site.
14:19
<@TheWatcher>
Huh
14:20
<@TheWatcher>
I'd be tempted to just robots.txt disallow all of /search in that case, after all it's a meta page rather than real content
14:23
< simon_>
that's not an option. some searches have pretty good ratings and should remain that way.
15:11
< Jessikat>
I enjoy that I'm introduced to new programmers as 'our resident sorceress'
15:11
< Jessikat>
Also hello
15:13
<@TheWatcher>
Nice!

<@TheWatcher>
Also, hello
15:49 * Vornicus jessiwizardhats
15:50 * Vornicus gets down to business to defeat the h^W^W^W figure out why his thing is exploding *again*
15:50
<~Vornicus>
I'm quite good at explosions.
15:50
<~Vornicus>
Unfortunately I do not want explosions, so perhaps I'm simply quite bad at not-explosions

I am sad that the cited paper on JIT-MEOW doesn't appear to exist.

https://twitter.com/Rob_Russell/status/1031239727595180032 - this, and the pictures in replies...
18:58
<&ToxicFrog>
"IoT Security: Let's Forget All The Lessons From Traditional Network Security And Hope For The Best"
19:19
<&jeroud>
Mickens is the best.
19:20
<&ToxicFrog>
I was sad when I ran out of Mickens articles but apparently he does talks too!
19:20
<&jeroud>
Yup.
19:21
<&jeroud>
I think I need to hang around in here a little more actively again.
19:26
<&jeroud>
Jessikat: How's life?
19:27
<&McMartin>
ToxicFrog: His day job is as a professor
19:27
<&McMartin>
So he's got some public interest talks; I linked one about why blockchains are a bad idea a day or two ago
19:28
<&McMartin>
They're... a bit more sober, but still pretty engaging
19:30
<&jeroud>
Yeah, I watched a couple of those after the keynote.
19:31
<&jeroud>
I love how he manages to be so entertainingly depressing and still actually deliver useful information.
19:36
<&McMartin>
TheWatcher: Inittial picture is indeed correct for the Dewey Decimal system
21:53
<@TheWatcher>
I know, but that doesn't make it any less funny~
21:56
<&McMartin>
It probably explains more of my youth than I care to admit that the Forteana and the books full of type-in computer games were on the same shelf in my home library, tbh
21:57
<&McMartin>
Creative Computing hype
21:57
<&McMartin>
(sound of slowly deflating balloon, except maybe for Hamurabi and Hunt the Wumpus)
22:03
<&McMartin>
"It sure is a good thing that we have USB, so you don't have to worry about having a bunch of different cables or adapters for devices that use different connectors."
22:07
<@Tamber>
*sobs softly*
22:08
<&McMartin>
I mean, *at least* they don't damage the device if you use the wrong one with identical plug shapes!
22:08
<&McMartin>
:D
22:08
<&McMartin>
:D
22:08
<&McMartin>
>_<
22:08
<@TheWatcher>
I'm just thankful that they don't spontaneously ignite most of the time.
22:09
<@Tamber>
That would be rather a Noteable event.
