@Avery adoption?

Adoption is a terribly shitty system

@GnomeSlice As someone who is Chinese, I don't think you understand "the way China did that only have one child thing".

@Memor-X Now that's a good overreaction there.

MBraedley

@PrivatePansy Is this for serial port auto-detect?

Private Pansy

2:05 PM

@MBraedley I don't know, I never tried to plug computer accessories into babies before

MBraedley

Just the use of "COM1" and "COM2"

Kevin van der Velden

@Avery I don't know of any country where it's a good system =p (note: this just means that not having the baby is better than having the baby and putting it up for adoption. A system for adoption is needed)

Private Pansy

@MBraedley They are School of Computing building 1 and 2, aka COM1 and COM2

Kevin van der Velden

(and of course make it as not shitty as possible, that doesn't mean it's not still shitty)

Avery

@KevinvanderVelden yes, what I agree that it's better to not have it in first place, but people fuck up, and there's a huge backlog of babies needing adoption around the world.

Kevin van der Velden

2:08 PM

Not just people fucking up, also in case of death of the parents and such

Private Pansy

A common joke he makes is that he gave birth to a tiny inference engine, and now needs to fill up its knowledge base so that it can make decisions properly

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy It's not an inaccurate way of stating it

Well, except the bit where "he gave birth"

Private Pansy

Oh this is interesting... 11/12 has a question on perceptrons

That's not taught in the last three years

Uh, four

Seems that the module used to be more strongly focused on machine learning and classification

fredley

@Memor-X Typically overblown article, here's the actual newsletter. Telegraph likes to make it seem like the world is sliding into a PC hell-hole, and will wade through mountains of stuff to find tiny examples that they can blow out of proportion like that

badp

@fredley the Telegraph is ran by rapid Macintosh fans?

GnomeSlice

2:13 PM

@Yuuki you're right I don't

fredley

@badp Yes

GnomeSlice

Wasnt it like you could have another one if it was a girl?

badp

@fredley I guess a PC would rather then be classified as a hell-drawer

Yuuki

No, you couldn't legally. So what happened was that people would not declare their children if they were girls.

So they'd either end up abandoned at the hospital or just un-personed.

GnomeSlice

That's fucked

And why I said it probably wouldn't work in current society

Yuuki

2:15 PM

Even worse, some families would actually kill female children so they could try to have a son.

Ronan

@fredley Good job, I couldn't find that newsletter anywhere.

fredley

@Yuuki Or aborted? That was my impression.

Yuuki

GnomeSlice

fredley

2:15 PM

@Ronan I wonder why the Telegraph didn't link it directly...

Ronan

@fredley Because surprise surprise. No where gave a source.

Private Pansy

@fredley It's illegal IIRC to determine the gender of a child before birth

GnomeSlice

Didn't think it worked that well over there either, I just like the idea

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice one child was current, it only "ended" 2 years ago

fredley

@Ronan Found the website of the dept, searched for 'eye contact', was quite far down, but surprisingly actually indexed

GnomeSlice

2:16 PM

I thought it was still going

Ronan

@fredley I did give up after googling.

fredley

@PrivatePansy Just like it's illegal to abandon/hide them?

@Ronan fake news detector grade: D-:

GnomeSlice

@PrivatePansy uh? Can't you tell on an ultrasound?

Ronan

It's a bit of a stretch to go from "it's rude to refuse to make eye contact with people" to "not making eye contact makes you a racist"

fredley

@GnomeSlice Only if you look

Private Pansy

2:17 PM

@fredley It is not illegal to not register them per se, IIRC, but the consequences are not good

GnomeSlice

Doesn't like everyone do that

Kevin van der Velden

Not if the trained professional operating the ultrasound knows it's illegal and, like, doesn't

It's often quite hard to find

fredley

@Ronan to "OXFORD UNIVERSITY SAYS YOU ARE GUILTY OF RACISM"

Ronan

@fredley The all caps is important.

Kevin van der Velden

(feti are kinda small)

fredley

2:18 PM

@GnomeSlice It's not illegal in most countries

Kevin van der Velden

(feti is a fun plural)

Private Pansy

@fredley It's only "necessary" in countries with a strong cultural gender preference

fredley

@PrivatePansy My ultrasound brings all the boys to the yard

GnomeSlice

@fredley ohh I see

Ronan

@fredley And they're like: I never had a sister.

fredley

2:19 PM

@Ronan I could teach you, but I'd have to report you to a party official

Ronan

Also don't dig up our garden.

Kevin van der Velden

They're all like "I know you're old, but just because you can't hear it doesn't mean we can't and it is REALLY ANNOYING"

Avery

tl;dr my world views are weird

fredley

@GnomeSlice And you could try and work it out on the sly, but how do you know someone working at the clinic isn't a party mole who will report you?

Kevin van der Velden

@Avery meh

fredley

2:21 PM

@KevinvanderVelden I can't hear ultrasound, I can hear bird scarers though

Yuuki

@fredley Well, I mean moles aren't really well known for their medical prowess. Digging for earthworms, on the other hand...

fredley

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley actual ultrasound is way beyond the range of human hearing =p

GnomeSlice

Why is that even illegal

Ronan

@fredley I have been known to chase birds.

> The Reddit admins are looking to replace CSS theming with a more consistent dedicated theming API. The benefit is that it would lead to a more consistent experience for users (stuff like r/ooer would not be possible) across desktop and mobile, but the drawback is that it would remove a lot of features that current CSS theming is capable of (stuff like r/ooer would not be possible).

badp

I dunno what /r/ooer is but I know I've already disabled the custom subreddit style for it

there was that other subreddit that simply said you're a beautiful person.

BlueBarren

@Yuuki what the crap is that ooer monster?

I had never heard of it before

Private Pansy

I'd imagine a lot of things won't be possible without the full power of CSS

Yuuki

/r/ooer is either an experiment in the worst possible UI you can make with Reddit's CSS or some IT-based Lovecraftian invasion of the Material Plane.

Private Pansy

r/chemicalreactiongif has a slowly moving background that's powered by CSS animation. It's pretty neat

BlueBarren

3:11 PM

I would say I'd miss it but I have themes disabled

Private Pansy

r/mylittlepony and r/anime have emote faces and spoiler markup

BlueBarren

with an overall Reddit Dark theme

Yuuki

/r/movies has a scrolling header bar for recent movie discussion and AMA posts.

BlueBarren

Why would these things not be possible with a dedicated theming API?

Private Pansy

@BlueBarren Animated background is very niche, and it's unlikely they'd support it

Emotes are basically a hack.

r/stevenuniverse displays random quotes in the sidebar using CSS

That is very interesting given CSS has no random function

BlueBarren

3:13 PM

Well it doesn't affect me so that totally means it isn't a real problem, right?

Private Pansy

(They use the CSRF token attached to the logout button as a randomizer)

Oh, and subreddits that hide voting buttons to non-subscribers, or hide the downvote buttons would also lose that

It's technically speaking against reddit rules for subreddits to do that, but it's not enforced

@BlueBarren There's actually a lot of things that look like features which are actually implemented in CSS

BlueBarren

How we'll miss thee CSS

In other news people are complaining that Hots 2.0 comes out tomorrow and not today in the EU

So as per usual entitlement and impatience are at an all time high

Private Pansy

Still quite possibly one of my favourite hacks.

Tim Stone

It is rather impressively devious

Private Pansy

The best part is using the token as a random value

To make up for the fact that CSS doesn't have a random()

Avery

3:31 PM

@PrivatePansy oh, that's interesting

Private Pansy

From r/mylittlepony, a pretty neat easter egg by the mods

badp

@PrivatePansy I'd like having the hack officially supported tbh

Private Pansy

@badp Given the state of reddit engineering, I don't see them supporting emotes officially.

The fact is that the people who were mad about the closure of FPH and similar subreddits were a miniscule fraction of the people on the site. I'd bet it was no more than a couple hundred people. There are subreddits with more than a million subscribers

And there are tons of anonymous visitors who just read

But it's easier to fixate on the loud shitty people in the tiny minority because it lets you dismiss the entire thing without expending any significant mental effort

Avery

@GodEmperorDune by questionable I mean like really really illegal stuff

@Avery What really matters is whether it's illegal in the jurisdiction where it's hosted

Avery

Mad Scientist

There are some very reasonable corners inside Reddit. But Reddit the company seems to hide behind "free speech" and allow all kinds of crap. I don't think they can just claim they're not responsible, it's still their platform.

Avery

yeah

murgatroid99

@MadScientist It's more that there are unreasonable corners. The vast majority of the site is reasonable

You just don't get press about people having civil discussions about botany or whatever

Mad Scientist

The vast majority is crap, but not horribly offensive ;-)

murgatroid99

The vast majority of everything is crap. That's not something you should judge any particular site by

I think that the continued voting abuse in /r/the_donald is deeply troublesome for the integrity of the site

someone just picks how many thousand points a post should have, and then it just happens

@murgatroid99 it's news that it's been allowed to happen for a year

DanmakuGrazer

Upvotes are the dumbest thing in recent internet history

murgatroid99

I don't think it even matters though. They get their large numbers, and it doesn't really affect anything

badp

and the only actions being taken by the site administration is building new pages that aren't as easily gameable

@murgatroid99 if they can upvote things by thousands of votes dozens of time per day every day for a year without being stopped or hampered, they pretty much have complete control over the scores of everything

everything that is worth manipulating anyway

those numbers also affect what you do and do not read on the website

murgatroid99

@badp And as long as they're only doing it in their containment sub (assuming they are actually manipulating votes there) it doesn't matter

badp

on all subreddits, not just the_donald

@murgatroid99 do we have any proof that these accounts aren't voting anywhere else? that would be way too convenient in terms of detection and removal

murgatroid99

5:29 PM

Do you have any evidence that any of this is happening? It sounds like a conspiracy theory

badp

I thought your idea was more conspirace-y

an unholy alliance between reddit and the puppet masters saying, "so long as you only ruin this one subreddit we aren't going to stop you, do your worst"

Unionhawk

I mean if we want to get into conspiracy theories I guess the next logical play is to accuse @murgatroid99 of being a Russian agent for calling this a conspiracy theory

I think that's how this works

murgatroid99

@badp You're claiming that one shadow group is controlling all of the vote counts on all of reddit, and you're calling me a conspiracy theorist?

badp

the alternative is considering the voting totals on /r/the_donald genuine

which is patently absurd.

murgatroid99

Again, why should anyone care what they do to their own vote totals?

badp

5:31 PM

there might be multiple groups manipulating votes.

@murgatroid99 you're already implying that this is being done by the subreddit mods

murgatroid99

@badp What are you talking about?

badp

@murgatroid99 you even put "their own" in italics

murgatroid99

If /r/the_donald is manipulating the votes in /r/the_donald, I don't care

badp

If /r/the_donald can manipulate the votes in /r/the_donald, they can manipulate it anywhere.

They probably do, to avoid detection.

Unionhawk

Wait

badp

5:32 PM

That's how I would do it anyway.

murgatroid99

Do you have any evidence that they are manipulating votes anywhere?

Unionhawk

Everywhere as in including arqade

Mother of god

badp

@murgatroid99 How is that my point?

By saying "If /r/the_donald is manipulating the votes in /r/the_donald, I don't care" you are asserting that the reddit administration is being complicitly uncaring for the ongoing massive vote manipulation

murgatroid99

I'm saying there are more important things to care about than vote manipulation in a containment sub

badp

I'm saying that it makes me lose confidence in the entire basis of how reddit works: surfacing things based on the votes they get.

have you tried browsing reddit by new? it is possible, but it's not very pleasant.

the content is all there though!

however it's the only ordering that voting manipulation can't touch.

In a way, reddit continues to operate somewhat normally because /r/the_donald allows it to.

Avery

5:40 PM

@murgatroid99 that's like saying "random.se is organizing mass upvote events even though that's not allowed, and SE Inc. is turning a blind eye to it, and it's fine as long as it's only voting on that SE, and the +100 everywhere else and increased total rep count doesn't matter."

also I used and a bit too much there

badp

@Avery to be fair reddit doesn't use user karma for anything.

Avery

@badp it does!

badp

??

Unionhawk

It displays on the page!

Such use very wow

murgatroid99

@badp You seem to think that (assuming that there is voting manipulation), if they did start manipulating votes on the rest of reddit, that the admins wouldn't step in

Avery

5:43 PM

It's used on the spam detection stuff and on the captcha timer. More karma is seen as more reputable by those algorithms and well, if t_d were to organize an attack on another sub, they could get wayy too much more posts and comments in than the defending sub can get into t_d in the same amount of time.
