| 08:13 | <@abudhabi> | Are there any good browser plugins/extensions that augment working from the inspection console? |
| 08:13 | <@abudhabi> | I want to run scripts and stuff using the session associated with the open page. |
| 08:21 | <&[R]> | Possibly greasemonkey |
| 08:21 | <&[R]> | You can dynamically load js files though |
| 08:21 | <&[R]> | var script = document.createElement('script'); |
| 08:21 | <&[R]> | script.src = something; |
| 08:22 | <&[R]> | Where `something` is the script's URL |
| 08:24 | <@abudhabi> | Hmm. |
| 08:24 | | * abudhabi installs tampermonkey, because Chromium. |
| 08:26 | <&[R]> | Generally though one would run a tampering proxy |
| 08:27 | <@abudhabi> | A what? |
| 08:28 | <&[R]> | https://github.com/tsyd/proxy-tamper |
| 08:29 | <@abudhabi> | I see. |
| 08:30 | <&[R]> | Also known as MITM proxies |
| 08:30 | <&[R]> | Since they are occasionally used in actual MITM attacks |
| 08:37 | <@abudhabi> | Interesting. What I'm doing is trying to automate some stuff. I used to use Python for this, but they are changing the way things work, and the latest round of obscure changes I haven't been able to get around. |
| 08:38 | <@abudhabi> | I can do things manually in the browser, but not in Python. Probably some security checks got shuffled around. |
| 08:39 | <&[R]> | Yeah, I'm planning on doing something similar for a few sites |
| 09:00 | | Kindamoody[zZz] is now known as Kindamoody |
| 09:20 | <@abudhabi> | Sweet. Made a script in console, then configured it as a tampermonkey context menu option. |
| 09:20 | <@abudhabi> | Now I can just run it by right-click menu whenever I'm at a relevant site. |
| 09:23 | <&[R]> | Nice |

| 11:49 | <@sshine> | my boss experienced a problem that was fixed in the latest ubuntu: every time he printed N copies of a status report for our weekly meeting, he got N^2. so every time he had a look around and noted we're 13 at work today, he had to ask the printer for 3^2 + 2^2 = 13. |

| 13:19 | <@gnolam> | Oh hey, some kind of spec finally arrived. |
| 13:19 | <@gnolam> | And they basically want me to emulate a database over FTP. ;_; |
| 13:20 | <@TheWatcher> | Awesome -_- |
| 13:28 | <@Alek> | ... how does that kind of bug even happen? |
| 13:29 | <@Alek> | doubled counting loop for the print? |
| 13:52 | <~Vorntastic> | You build the print job to have each page n times |
| 13:52 | <~Vorntastic> | And then you send the print job n times |

| 14:13 | <@sshine> | Alek, he never figured out. took a while to even debug that it was quadratic. |
| 14:14 | <@sshine> | Vorntastic, sounds plausible! |
| 14:21 | <@sshine> | it must feel kafkaesque to hope that on thursdays there would be a number of people at work N such that there exists A, B >= 0 where A^2 + B^2 = N. (e.g. not 3, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, ...) |
| 14:21 | <@sshine> | otherwise you need 3 or more print jobs. |
| 14:53 | <&[R]> | <gnolam> And they basically want me to emulate a database over FTP. ;_; <-- like a proper database, or just something that's using some kind of file-based RPC? |

| 18:46 | <&[R]> | Still absolutely flabergasted that MS Outlook Mobile isn't recieving new messages |
| 18:46 | <&[R]> | No error, no message, just tries to sync and then silently fails |
| 18:47 | <&[R]> | That's amazing |
| 18:47 | <&[R]> | Almost as good as those TWO times it forgot all of its settings |
| 18:48 | <&[R]> | But when has MS ever been able to not forget settings? |

| 21:04 | <@gnolam> | [R]: As in "thousands of clients should update rows of data in a file independently of each other, over FTP" |
| 21:15 | <@Tamber> | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa |
| 21:17 | <@gnolam> | Once again I feel completely justified keeping a bottle of Scotch on my work desk. |
| 21:22 | <&[R]> | So Excel as a DB over FTP? |
| 21:22 | <@gnolam> | Quite literally, yes. |
| 21:23 | <&[R]> | Euthanization |
| 21:23 | <&[R]> | That's your only option |
| 21:39 | <@Alek> | I would suggest, either make sure clients can't connect to the same database file simultaneously, or make their changes go into a log and then have a separate job perform the changes from the log. *shrugs* |
| 21:40 | <@Alek> | but hey, I'm not an expert. >_> |
| 21:43 | <&[R]> | Except it's fucking excel, so you'd be getting the entire fucking thing each change, and it's not like they made it easy to parse (in fact they had a very strong encouragement to do the exact opposite) |
