| 00:50 | <@celticminstrel> | So it seems that although VS13 supports designated initializers, it doesn't allow them in C++ code...? |

| 03:21 | <&McMartin> | THE NSA CAN REPROGRAM YOUR COMPUTER WITH RADIO WAVES!!!!!111!!!! |
| 03:21 | | * McMartin goes to find the relevant actual articles |
| 03:21 | | [R] is now known as Shoat |
| 03:21 | <&McMartin> | "If the NSA installs a piece of hardware into your system with a radio receiver, it could be used to compromise you." |
| 03:21 | <&McMartin> | Thank you, bold reporters. |
| 03:22 | <&McMartin> | I was at least hoping for, like, suddenly noticing that TEMPEST attacks existed. |
| 03:22 | | Shoat is now known as Vance |
| 03:26 | <@Reiv> | TEMPEST attacks? |
| 03:29 | <&ToxicFrog> | Reiv: from outside the building, reading the electromagnetic bleed from e.g. monitors and using that to reconstruct machine state, or at least get screenshots. |
| 03:29 | <@Reiv> | Ho yes |
| 03:30 | <@Reiv> | Wait, people don't notice that one? |
| 03:30 | <@Reiv> | Incidentally |
| 03:30 | <@Reiv> | Does that still work on LCDs? |
| 03:31 | < Thalass> | I have heard of using wifi signal strength variations (assuming multiple sources of known power output) as a kind of passive radar to detect humans moving about inside a room. It was reported as "OMG XRAY VISION" or somesuch. |
| 03:32 | <@Reiv> | That's pretty clever. |
| 03:33 | <@Reiv> | I know someone doing differential analysis of ping times to locate the infamous Bricked Up Switches. |
| 03:33 | < Thalass> | heh |
| 03:33 | <@Reiv> | AKA establishing a network topography when you don't actually have access to the physical cabling. |
| 03:33 | | * Thalass nods |
| 03:34 | <@Reiv> | Some days it worked. |
| 03:34 | <@Reiv> | Other days it didn't, if the switches were crap. |
| 03:35 | < Thalass> | heh |
| 03:35 | <@Reiv> | But with the right kit I think he signed off on his thesis with "If you got GPS co-ords of the computers, you could probably expand on my math and it'll tell you where the switches are in the building." |
| 03:36 | <@Reiv> | "Oh, and fuck people that coil cables." |
| 03:36 | | * Thalass laughs |
| 03:49 | <&McMartin> | Infowars reported this as "The NSA can reprogram your computer with radio waves while it is powered down." |
| 03:50 | <&McMartin> | We should recruit them for agitprop against China or something~ |
| 03:52 | <@Shiz> | of course they do |
| 03:52 | <@Shiz> | they understand as 'you can clear a BIOS password by taking out the battery' as 'THE NSA CAN LOCK DOWN YOUR COMPUTER USING THE POWER GRID' |
| 03:54 | < Thalass> | lol |

| 04:24 | <&McMartin> | Hm |
| 04:24 | <&McMartin> | An actually interesting question. Are USB devices allowed to mess with ACPI? |
| 04:24 | <&McMartin> | Could one build a USB device that would let you remotely turn on a machine it was plugged into? |
| 04:25 | <@Shiz> | I'm pretty sure I've seen it before |
| 04:25 | <@Shiz> | but on an OS-level |
| 04:25 | <&McMartin> | Yeah, I know wake-up-on-Ethernet-packet-pointed-at-you is a thing |
| 04:25 | <@Shiz> | > In June 2009, the 4.0 specification added many new features to the design; most notable are USB 3.0 suppor |
| 04:25 | <@Shiz> | according to the wiki page about the ACPI spec |
| 04:26 | <&McMartin> | Oh |
| 04:26 | <&McMartin> | 4.0 spec of ACPI |
| 04:26 | <&McMartin> | Otherwise that sounded really lame~ |
| 04:26 | <@Shiz> | hehe |
| 04:26 | <@Shiz> | they forgot to mention in the usb 3.0 standard that you actually had to implement it |
| 04:26 | <@Shiz> | hence the 4.0 standard |
| 04:26 | <&McMartin> | hee hee |
| 04:26 | <@celticminstrel> | Of course, that would only work if the machine it was plugged into had power... |
| 04:26 | <@celticminstrel> | Assuming it works in the first place. |
| 04:27 | <&McMartin> | I did specify "ACPI", which indeed cannot defeat Physically Breaking The Power Circuit. |
| 04:27 | <@celticminstrel> | So, you're safe if you unplug your computer (or flick the power switch, if there is one) when it's turned off. |
| 04:27 | <@Shiz> | > |
| 04:27 | <@Shiz> | ACPI enabled in the BIOS is the source of many USB problems. If you are having problems with USB, ACPI should be disabled. |
| 04:27 | <@celticminstrel> | Heh. |
| 04:27 | <@Shiz> | what |
| 04:27 | <@celticminstrel> | Huh? |
| 04:27 | <@Shiz> | although I guess the USB part of the ACPI spec refers mainly to powering USB devices |
| 04:27 | <@Shiz> | not the other way around |
| 04:28 | <&McMartin> | Oh man |
| 04:28 | <&McMartin> | It would actually be pretty sweet to be able to charge my phone through a computer that's otherwise turned off |

| 04:28 | <@Shiz> | here you go. |
| 04:28 | <@Shiz> | it's possible |
| 04:28 | <&McMartin> | I am answered! |
| 04:28 | <&McMartin> | Thanks |
| 04:29 | | * McMartin is no longer Error. |
| 04:29 | <@Shiz> | instead you have become planet? |
| 04:30 | <&McMartin> | I cannot lower the bridge for you |
| 04:30 | <@Shiz> | makes sense that it's possible too |
| 04:30 | <@Shiz> | else you wouldn't be able to wake up your PC from USB keyboards |
| 04:30 | <@Shiz> | that would be rather awkward |
| 04:31 | <&McMartin> | ... so it would |
| 04:33 | <@celticminstrel> | Hm, reading that page makes me wonder if I could somehow fix my issue in grub. |
| 04:34 | <@celticminstrel> | The issue of USB devices not responding on the Windows login screen after rebooting from Lnux. |
| 04:34 | <@celticminstrel> | ^Linux |
| 04:34 | <@Shiz> | huh. |
| 04:38 | <@celticminstrel> | I just have to make sure Windows is shut down rather than suspended if I want to try it, because I can't seem to cancel resume without using the mouse and keyboard. (I can cancel regular login by pressing the power button, but not resume, for some reason.) |
| 04:39 | <&McMartin> | Oh hey, a friend was finding that he couldn't boot into Ubuntu with a USB mouse plugged in, too |
| 04:39 | <&McMartin> | I wonder if that's relevant |
| 04:39 | <@celticminstrel> | Not sure... I'm having no troubles with Linux, though. |
| 04:39 | <@celticminstrel> | Only with Windows. |
| 04:40 | <&McMartin> | Unrelated, but I feel the need to share here too: http://i.imgur.com/MHuW96t.gif |
| 04:42 | <@Shiz> | 'here you see a wild McMartin inspecting the source code of one of his favourite third-party libraries.' |
| 04:42 | <@celticminstrel> | I've definitely seen that before. |
| 04:42 | <&McMartin> | I just encountered it today |
| 04:42 | <&McMartin> | I am well pleased |
| 04:42 | <@celticminstrel> | No idea where I saw it last time. |

| 05:32 | <&McMartin> | Windows Remote Desktop Connection will let you log in too |
| 05:32 | <&McMartin> | So you'd just need something to do the HEY WAKE UP part |
| 05:37 | < JustBob> | That's the part that's getting me. I wonder if anyone makes the hardware for it. |
| 05:37 | < JustBob> | You'd think that it'd be an ethernet card interfacing with AHCI thing. |

| 08:26 | < freedombot> | hello |
| 08:27 | < freedombot> | is there anyone here that knows mirc remote scripting? |
| 08:33 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | What do you need? |
| 08:35 | < freedombot> | I have a system I'm working on I wonder if you could help me with it |
| 08:35 | < freedombot> | its pretty small actually |
| 08:36 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | I can't help you unless you tell me what the problem is. |
| 08:36 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | Or what you would wish for me to help with. |
| 08:37 | < freedombot> | ok well It's a twitch.tv bot and basically what I have atm is when anyone types anything in the chat they get a variable %active.nick |
| 08:37 | < freedombot> | and the part I want to happen is anytime someone has this active they gain points to a .ini file |
| 08:38 | < freedombot> | my issue is I don't know how to only give someone points when this variable is active |
| 08:38 | < freedombot> | and to also give points to EVERYONE that's active |
| 08:40 | | Syka [the@Nightstar-p0s.cib.127.1.IP] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 08:43 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | I'm not sure I understand. |
| 08:43 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | You want to give someone points every time they write something. |
| 08:43 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | But only if they're active. |
| 08:44 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | But they become active by writing something. |
| 08:44 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | So you just want to give people points for writing something? |
| 08:44 | < freedombot> | no |
| 08:44 | < freedombot> | when they write something they become "active" and while they are "active" they should gain points every couple of minutes |
| 08:45 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | Oh. |
| 08:45 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | So you want a timer that awards points to active people? |
| 08:45 | | Syka [the@Nightstar-p0s.cib.127.1.IP] has joined #code |
| 08:46 | < freedombot> | yes |
| 08:46 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | How long are they supposed to stay active for? |
| 08:48 | < freedombot> | 10 minutes |
| 08:48 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | And how often do you want to award points? |
| 08:50 | < freedombot> | probably once every minute |
| 08:50 | < freedombot> | err one point per minute |
| 08:51 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | The quick and dirty approach is to have a timer that runs every X seconds that activates an alias. This alias has a while loop that checks every nick on the channel if their $nick(#,$nick).idle is less than 600. If it is, you find them in the .ini and increment their point value. |
| 08:52 | <~Vornicus> | when the person talks: 1. check for a variable with that person's nick (not sure how to do this) 2. if it exists, delete the timer with that variable's value; 3. set a timer with a fresh ID, and put that in the variable. |
| 08:52 | <~Vornicus> | (this is a 600 second timer) |
| 08:52 | < freedombot> | Thing is since it's twitch.tv I'm not sure that some of these things work the same |
| 08:52 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | Doing it this way does have a few downsides though. Everyone get points simultaneously, which can bog down a system. Having a while loop that checks every nick in a large twitch channel may also bog down the system. And freshly joined people will count as active. |
| 08:53 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | mIRC remote scripting is mIRC remote scripting. |
| 08:53 | <~Vornicus> | When you wish to grant points: 1. check your variables list for nick activity variables; 2. increment the points for those you know exist. |
| 08:54 | < freedombot> | well to become active they have to type so new people wouldnt count as active |
| 08:54 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | Alternately, whenever anyone speaks you can check if they are in a hash table and if not, add them. And then every X seconds (by timer) give everyone in the hash table points. It's the same approach, takes up more system resources in general but may have less spiky system load. |
| 08:55 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | You can also set a timer for each individual, and then write that nick to their seperate file. Like ActiveNicks.ini. When the timer expires their line is deleted from this file. And every 60 seconds a while loop runs through the lines of the file and awards the nicks points in a different file. |
| 08:56 | < freedombot> | hmm |
| 08:56 | < freedombot> | that would be interesting |
| 08:57 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | If you call the timer something nick-dependant it should also be fairly easy to update. |
| 08:57 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | If you don't, it's gonna be a headache. |
| 08:59 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | The last one seems to be what Vorn was referring to. |
| 08:59 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | Sorta. |
| 08:59 | < freedombot> | I'll try it out |
| 09:00 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | I would advice against using variables. They are more difficult to check, or would take a longer time. |
| 09:00 | < Yan_Xiao_Lin> | Seperate files or hash tables would serve you better. |
| 09:00 | < freedombot> | alrigth |
| 09:00 | < freedombot> | alright* |

| 13:59 | | * TheWatcher headdesks |
| 13:59 | <@TheWatcher> | How, how can someone be so horribly inconsistent with indentation?! |
| 14:00 | <@TheWatcher> | I mean, it's C, so it'll still work. But I'm tempted to throw python at this student just to see the HORRIBLE FLAILINGS OF DOOM |
| 14:13 | <@Tarinaky> | TheWatcher: They probably don't understand how indentation is supposed to 'work' |
| 14:14 | <@TheWatcher> | He's already taken a java course |
| 14:14 | <@TheWatcher> | And is 60% of the way through a C course |
| 14:14 | <@TheWatcher> | I've explained it a dozen times, and given over 1000 lines of example code |
| 14:14 | <@Tarinaky> | Oh well. He must know the material then. |
| 14:15 | <@TheWatcher> | A couple of hundred of which is in material specifically written for him |
| 14:15 | <@TheWatcher> | At this point I simply can not actually explain it >.< |
| 14:15 | <@Tarinaky> | I'm sure that's true. |
| 14:16 | <@Tarinaky> | But I still think the problem is he doesn't understand indentation and blocks. |
| 14:16 | <@TheWatcher> | The code is (mostly) right. It just looks like he hammers randomly on the spacebar at the start of lines |
| 14:17 | <@Tarinaky> | Maybe he's unwilling to change his habits because his habits are acceptably effective? |
| 14:17 | <@Tarinaky> | Insert joke about printing a photograph, scanning it into a word document and emailing it to be printed. |
| 14:20 | < AbuDhabi_> | His mind is the wrong shape for indentation. |
| 14:20 | <@Tarinaky> | One can imagine that if one's only means of indenting a large program is to hammer on the space key the correct number of times at the start of each line, with no auto-indent or tab key... |
| 14:21 | <@TheWatcher> | AbuDhabi_: That's probably the most accurate assessment |
| 14:21 | <@Tarinaky> | That the only solution to this problem is 'install and learn another text editor'... |
| 14:21 | <@Tarinaky> | And, being honest about the student body here, one would get no acceptable help in such a migration. |
| 14:21 | <@Tarinaky> | "Lol, learn vi/emacs" |
| 14:22 | <@Tarinaky> | "How do I do 'specific job X' that I have the keyboard shortcut to memorised?" "No idea, RTFM nub" |
| 14:22 | < AbuDhabi_> | TheWatcher: Have you determined if he uses a fixed width font in his editor or not? |
| 14:22 | <@Tarinaky> | That's... actually a good point. |
| 14:23 | <@Tarinaky> | Are they dyslexic? |
| 14:23 | <@Tarinaky> | Maybe their screen-reader only works in Word? |
| 14:23 | <@TheWatcher> | No, no disabilities on file |
| 14:23 | <@Tarinaky> | So they write their code in a non-code editor and copy+paste it? |
| 14:23 | <@Tarinaky> | You know, I'm actually slightly worried that you /answered/ that question... |
| 14:23 | <@Tarinaky> | You probably shouldn't have >.> |
| 14:24 | <@TheWatcher> | Not like I've actually given any information about who this is |
| 14:24 | < AbuDhabi_> | Or anything damning. "OH NO, HE IS NORMALLY ABLED!" |
| 14:24 | <@Tarinaky> | I would argue that counted in and of itself as a piece of identifying information. |
| 14:25 | <@Tarinaky> | I mean, no-one here is malicious anyway... but... yeah. That should totally be against policy. |
| 14:25 | <@froztbyte> | Tarinaky: you're recurringly optimistic about students not being complete pieces of shit |
| 14:25 | <@TheWatcher> | (and FWIW, they're recommended to use code::blocks, notepad++, Textwrangler, or "I'll help if you want to try emacs") |
| 14:25 | <@froztbyte> | I'm confused as to why |
| 14:25 | <@froztbyte> | since the majority of them are, in fact, complete pieces of shit |
| 14:25 | <@Tarinaky> | If it isn't against policy the policy is wrong~ |
| 14:26 | <@Tarinaky> | froztbyte: This is easily explained by the fact I am an Undergraduate. |
| 14:26 | <@froztbyte> | why would it be? |
| 14:26 | <@Tarinaky> | And a consistently under-achieving undergraduate. |
| 14:26 | <@Tarinaky> | +at that |
| 14:26 | <@froztbyte> | heh |
| 14:26 | <@Tarinaky> | Anyway. I /really/ meant to go out of the house an hour and a half ago. |
| 14:26 | <@Tarinaky> | So... *gone* |
| 14:26 | <@froztbyte> | fortunately the rest of the world isn't particularly fussed |
| 14:26 | < AbuDhabi_> | froztbyte: Long story short, it is nicer to his own ego to think that students fail because of their environment, not their own damn fault. |
| 14:27 | <@froztbyte> | so academia-bubble might not be the only place to consider things about oneself |
| 14:27 | <@Tarinaky> | I didn't say that. |
| 14:27 | <@froztbyte> | AbuDhabi_: haha |
| 14:27 | <@Tarinaky> | You make it sound like I blame TheWatcher for being a bad teacher which is /totally/ not what I mean at all. |
| 14:28 | <@froztbyte> | Tarinaky: anyway, you don't sound like a complete moron |
| 14:28 | <@froztbyte> | Tarinaky: so all I expect you lack is experience |
| 14:28 | <@froztbyte> | and that'll come soon enough |
| 14:28 | <@Tarinaky> | froztbyte: If morons sounded like complete morons there'd never be any danger of them fucking with things :p |
| 14:28 | < AbuDhabi_> | Tarinaky wants to teach? |
| 14:28 | <@Tarinaky> | AbuDhabi_: Fuck. No. |
| 14:29 | < AbuDhabi_> | Then experience is unlikely to come. :P |
| 14:29 | <@froztbyte> | Tarinaky: I can pick morons out pretty well. I've levelled up pretty far at identifying them. |
| 14:29 | <@Tarinaky> | froztbyte: "How to identify morons at a distance. *slide* Number 27... The Gumby." |
| 14:30 | <@TheWatcher> | Pft |
| 14:33 | < AbuDhabi_> | froztbyte: What are your clues towards moronicity? |
| 14:33 | <@froztbyte> | AbuDhabi_: hmmm, it's usually more situational |
| 14:34 | <@froztbyte> | but typical things are non-sequitors, blatant miscomprehension despite repeated arguments/hinting to the contrary, downright "I know better" |
| 14:34 | <@froztbyte> | etc |
| 14:43 | | You're now known as TheWatcher[afk] |
| 14:57 | < RichyB> | Tarinaky, I personally have failed to weed out morons in the past. |
| 14:57 | < RichyB> | Being unsure of yourself makes bringing up bogosity problems difficult. |
| 14:58 | <@Tarinaky> | Bogosity? |
