What's the best way to store passwords for a "remember my password" feature?
02:07
<&ToxicFrog>
celticminstrel: more context?
02:07
<&ToxicFrog>
Like, are you talking password vault or password recovery?
02:07
<@celticminstrel>
Remembering the password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you log in.
02:07
<@celticminstrel>
So more like the former.
02:30
<~Vornicus>
celmin: wait, is this on the side of the, uh
02:31
<~Vornicus>
is this the "remember me" checkbox on an individual website, the "fill in my password" thing web browsers can do in general, or something else
02:56
<@celticminstrel>
Vornicus: "fill in my password"
02:56
<@celticminstrel>
At least, I think that's the intent.
02:56
<@celticminstrel>
Certainly the password is inserted into a text box...
02:57
<@celticminstrel>
So I think its exact value would need to be known?
02:58
<~Vornicus>
Certainly.
02:59
<@celticminstrel>
But it shouldn't be stored plaintext in a configuration file, either.
02:59
<~Vornicus>
typically a thing like keepass will encrypt its database though I'm not exactly sure how it does it.
03:01
<@celticminstrel>
Well, that makes sense, but... it raises the question of how to decide on a key.
03:06
<~Vornicus>
most vaults have hteir own password
03:57
<@celticminstrel>
I think OSX keychain uses your login password by default.

05:27 * McMartin actually does some C64 coding for the first time in a while.
05:40
<~Vornicus>
szio has made me ind of want to learn some assembly but that's like #15 on the "languages I should learn" list at this point honestly
05:45
<&McMartin>
I found a very nice whirlwind tour of the C64, actually
05:46
<&McMartin>
Including most of how its assembly language works
05:46
<&McMartin>
I don't think it's enough to actually do anything, but it's enough to get an idea of what *to* do
05:46
<&McMartin>
It also covers a bunch of weird graphical glitches that I handled in far greater detail over at Bumbershoot, but my stuff doesn't all fit into one hour.

05:47
<&McMartin>
He also has an Ultimate Game Boy talk that I haven't watched yet but really should.

<@abudhabi>
How do I use combining characters?
09:35
<@abudhabi>
Like, I want to add a ring over o.
09:35
<@abudhabi>
*over a
09:42
<@TheWatcher>
Well, that has its own character, U00E5: å
09:44
<@TheWatcher>
For combining chars, you just have the base character followed by the combining char, so a follwoed by U030A
09:46
<@abudhabi>
I'm on a US keyboard, no silly characters. How do I add the modifier? I mean, I sometimes add them by accident, but I've never figured out how or why.

Jessikat, did you get suckered into that^W^W^W awarded that title for being the person being the post fastidiously correct about relevant C++ minutiae or something? :)

(which I'm not disparaging, it is IMHO an important skill to have on any team writing non-trivial C++!)

:)
16:57
<&ToxicFrog>
Hmm.
16:58
<&ToxicFrog>
Despite my adding presubmit checks to prevent this, some people are still using the feature that I went to great effort to deprecate last year.
16:58 * ToxicFrog revs up the chainsaw of natural selection
16:58
<&ToxicFrog>
Time for code using that feature to stop compiling at all, I think.
17:30
< RchrdB>
If it's deprecated, you put #warning's in? Someone lacks a code review step that includes "it has to compile with -Werror"? :/
17:41
<&ToxicFrog>
It's a rat's nest of macros and I was too afraid to modify it to put the #warnings in, honestly
17:42
<&ToxicFrog>
I figured the whole thing where the version control system won't let you commit code using them would be sufficient until I had a chance to untangle them from test code and delete them completely.
17:55
<~Vornicus>
how are they still getting compileables with the uncommittable stuff in there
18:07
<@ErikMesoy>
local compiles?
18:34
< RchrdB>
ToxicFrog, ouch! fair enough. :)
18:36
<&ToxicFrog>
Vornicus: they appear to have found a way to commit it
18:36
<&McMartin>
I've only managed to get anything to compile with -Werror honestly if I go full NIH and also restrict myself to a single platform and toolchain. :-/
