<@Emmy>
Oh FUCK.
13:22
<@Emmy>
I think i miiiight just have found the solution to something that's been causing me a lot of wasted time the past month or so
13:23
<@Emmy>
I finally found out how to actually get my dirty coding mitts on the FileSystemObject with Access
13:23
<@abudhabi>
Remove the extra negation? :V
13:25
<@Emmy>
'cause a lot of "how do you manipulate files hurrdurr" tutorials and questions on the net just simply go "well you take the FileSystemObject and you do X"
13:25
<@Emmy>
But nothing actually told how or where to find said FSO.
13:27
<@Emmy>
Turns out it's an object in the M$ Scripting Runtime, which is not automatically referenced in an Access Object.
13:28
<@Emmy>
in an Access Project i mean
13:28
<@Emmy>
mental autocorrect clippy went "Don't you mean 'object'?"
13:29
<@Emmy>
Some day soon I'll start communicating with humans by just spitting out lines of object-oriented code.
13:35
<~Vornicus>
hooray
13:37 pjdelport is now known as Pi
13:37
<@Emmy>
Watch out, Vornicus, i might just accidentally reprogram Bawt/Bawtette into sentience one day
13:38
<@Emmy>
and then we'll be sorry
13:42
<@Emmy>
Either that, or very horny, depending on how much your fetishes coincide. But i wouldn't count on it.
13:46
<@abudhabi>
lol l@@k it's Emmy
13:51
<@Emmy>
?
13:53
<@abudhabi>
shadowfax.
13:53
<@abudhabi>
The oldies should recall.
13:54
<~Vornicus>
man, shadowfax
13:54
<~Vornicus>
shadowfax was amazing, he once passed the turing test for half an hour
13:54
<@celticminstrel>
Huhwhat.
13:55
<~Vornicus>
Someone went into #nightstar_bar, started conversing with shadowfax, and it took them half an hour to realize they were talking to a bot.
13:56
<@Emmy>
lol
13:56
<@celticminstrel>
Wait, are there more than one turing test?
13:56
<@celticminstrel>
I was thinking about turing completeness or something.
13:57
<@Emmy>
The turing test, simply put, is whether an (artificial) intelligence can or cannot convince another sentient of its' sentience.
13:58
<@Emmy>
afaik. my explanation or understanding might be a bit off.
13:58
<@celticminstrel>
So nothing to do with turing completeness?
13:58
<@TheWatcher>
No
13:58
<@TheWatcher>
It's an AI/natural language processing challenge.
13:58
<@celticminstrel>
Okay.
14:00
<@Emmy>
though arguably an artificial intelligence, as we can think of, would need to be turing complete to pass the turing test.
14:01
<@Emmy>
or, most accurately, it would be if it can, not necessarily need to be to be able. (correlation not causation)
14:01
<@TheWatcher>
(The original version of the turing test was that there'd be two participants in a text-only conversation - a human and an AI - and an observer who can only see the text of the conversation, not who wrote it. If the observer of the conversation can not reliably tell the AI from the human, the AI has passed the test)
14:02
<@TheWatcher>
(this has been modified several times since Turing proposed it, but the general idea is the same)

<@Emmy>
Oh hey, hours of puzzling on the exact syntax needed with T&E has finally taught me the syntax.
15:01
<@Emmy>
apparently i needed to write "shit = FSO.MoveFolder(crap,manure)"
15:02
<@Emmy>
WHY do i need to make an = statement out of a method, vba. WHY.
15:02
<@celticminstrel>
Huh?
15:02
<@celticminstrel>
You can't just ignore the return value?
15:04
<@Emmy>
Well yes, i can of course. It's null/zero length/nothing anyway, but its utterly silly that it's necessary.
15:42
<@simon_>
hmm
15:42
<@simon_>
any C-sharpers here?
15:42 * Emmy sharpens simon_'s C for him
15:43
<@simon_>
I have the impression that C# is really kind of dull. usually, when you need to advertise something in the name, it's because it's lacking rather than being there. ;)
15:43
<@Emmy>
Anyway. Woohoo! my project is DONE!
15:43
<@Emmy>
NO more bitching about Acces/VBA for now. :D
15:43
<@simon_>
like "The Democratic Republic of Congo".
15:43
<@simon_>
congrats!
15:43
<@Emmy>
and, time to go home!
15:43
<@celticminstrel>
Yay home.

15:44
<@simon_>
I'm failing to create an TLS 1.2 connection with a WebException "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel." - inspecting with Wireshark, I get both a "TLSv1.2 Client Hello" and a "TLSv1.2 Server Hello, Certificate, Server Hello Done"
15:44
<@simon_>
so at some point after Wireshark having generated a "Server Hello Done" message, and me getting a WebException with "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.".
15:47
<@TheWatcher>
cert validation problem?
15:47
<@simon_>
yeah, I was thinking so. but adding 'this._request.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;' does nothing. doesn't even get called.
15:48 Vornicus [Vorn@ServerAdministrator.Nightstar.Net] has quit [Connection reset by peer]
15:49
<@simon_>
maybe my C# is missing a root cert, and maybe there's a way for this callback to actually get called.
15:50
<@TheWatcher>
Try `ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;`
15:51
<@simon_>
tried both, actually.
15:51
<@TheWatcher>
Blegh
15:51
<@simon_>
I'll try both simulaneously, and I'll try and use { return true; } and set a breakpoint there. just to be completely pedantic.
15:52
<@simon_>
some people report that this callback only gets called on success, which is sort of pointless.
15:53
< catadroid>
Damn. Right now I just want to write LISP. Maybe I should take up emacs as a martial art

It's quite incredible just how different my model of programing is compared to about three weeks ago
17:18
< ASCII>
Oh?
17:19
< catadroid`>
Rich Hickey's talks on value/identity dichotomy and using clojure have changed how coding feels qualitatively for me
17:19
< ASCII>
And I know just enough c# to make HLSL confusing.
17:21 * catadroid` has spent about fifteen years of her life becoming an expert in C++ and now finds its general approach rather backward

I'm trying to decide on a simple game I can make with a space theme.
17:26

Just to use all these planet shaders in something

< ASCII>
I do everythign so backwards >.>
17:33
< catadroid>
Hehe, that doesn't seem backwards exactly
17:33
< catadroid>
I started learning clojure and I'm immediately building a UI library

You tend to code to what you know
