The Nineteenth Byte

The recency illusion is the belief or impression that a word or language usage is of recent origin when it is long-established. The term was invented by Arnold Zwicky, a linguist at Stanford University who was primarily interested in examples involving words, meanings, phrases, and grammatical constructions. However, use of the term is not restricted to linguistic phenomena: Zwicky has defined it simply as, "the belief that things you have noticed only recently are in fact recent". Linguistic items prone to the Recency Illusion include: "Singular they": the use of they, them, or their to reference...

Some time ago, a friend of mine wrote a math bot for a IRC chan. It used AutoIt's Execute() command to solve equations, of course it wasn't sanitized. A nice way of annoying the bot creator was to tell the bot to solve something like Beep(5000)=x, which would beep in an infinitive loop.

Anonymous

Or maybe it's RLE

FlagAsSpam

Why not have a bot that when it sees !eval, the string following !eval gets put on the front of .tryitonline.net/#code=, second string goes to the end of it, the next string is parsed as input through STDIN, remaining strings are arguments? Debug always on?

Then it outputs that link to chat.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

That'd be interesting.

FlagAsSpam

Of course, it'd need to verify that <string>.tryitonline.net exists.

6:15 PM

@FlagAsSpam Only issue is the encoding on the #code=<> part. The bot would need to be able to encode it.

@Mego And that's why I asked Dennis.

Actually, we can just look at the source for the page...?

If JS has reflection, we could see what the output was being updated to after the run() function was called.

Couldn't the bot just send a POST request to the server?

I'll copy-paste the code.

So, calls run(), waits 10 seconds, and then returns document.getElementById("output").value to chat.

The ordering of the input should be a little more fluid though.

@Zgarb Why? O_o

Wow. My office suddenly got really serious. Someone (or perhaps multiple people) are having trouble hitting the inside of the toilet when they pee.
