Aww, I didn't know you cared!

he'd kyll you for jokes like these

@ArtOfCode That would be a just pun-ishment

@ArtOfCode That's a cruel PUNishment

he might have to quip you into shape

@HyperNeutrino Watching this endless list of new questions never gets boring

I see I have successfully out-punned the contestants here

@HyperNeutrino well I mean Smokey does occasionally post election results

And hat stuff

@HyperNeutrino honestly, these humans making assumptions

it's been doing that for a long time

I, for one, welcome our spam-slaying overlord.

metasmoke does the killing (or could, with enough access)

s/metasmoke/Undo/ given that he's got all the accesses

there might be a way for me to do it, but I'd have to try pretty hard

Yep

just curious; why do you ask?

Here's the rationale for using ARC, in case you're interested

Makes sense

Oh at last, some spam. Guess I'll go back to this list of questions now.

@SmokeDetector ...where else did you find that spam?

It's not like I want company to go through it or anything.

@SmokeDetector FireAlarm doesn't count? :p

@NobodyNada Please. I have some self-respect.

lol

Don't you laugh at me young man, this is serious business you know.

very serious

much serious

@SmokeDetector talks back now?

@CaffeineAddiction you sass me, I sass you, buddy.

It's a sassy bot now.

oh, boy! SASS!

I'd rather have LESS, personally.

You want less sass? I'll give you less sass!

@SmokeDetector Increase sass level: +9000

@HyperNeutrino Credit me with some intelligence.

Y'all know this is just Art talking from the MS socket right

@quartata Oh you wish, buster.

@quartata Could also be Thomas Ward.

Skynet begins with a sassy spam-fighting bot. Didn't you watch Terminator 3?

@QPaysTaxes I mean I've been fooled before

clever bot can get pretty good some times

was trying to think of the algorithm being used to randomly select which response to respond too though ...

@quartata Who? Won't get fooled again

random wouldn't be fun ... and SD is good at weighting things

@HyperNeutrino Of course

Skynet begins when we figure out that machines are infinitely better at handling logistical operations, exploiting tactical advantages and designing winning strategies in warfare and handling everything real time. Then some doofus in 2250 tells the AI to: "Figure out a way to make world peace". And it says: "Ok but you're not going to like it".

@EricLeschinski sounds exactly like smokedetector

It's funny, because they got it so close to reality... the only difference being in reality they asked "figure out a way to clear the internet of spam". I gave them the same response, though.

TIL that there is an LAGPL license. sigh

@ArtOfCode, since I have seen a lot of red flags on post that we once did not flag, have you raised the bar?, any new meta on that subject? or is it just more experience/data that determine this?

@PetterFriberg As far as I know nothing's changed - you can look at the system settings yourself: metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/flagging/settings

I wondering since this for example metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/67163 was a user with other reasonable posts, we we saw it nuked, we decided to raise a mod flag but it was declined.

@PetterFriberg The minimum reason weight we allow for flaggers adjusts so that it achieves 99.5% accuracy on the existing posts we have. So the more spam we catch the more we can flag

The latest post on SO for example, 1 year ago we would hardly have flagged spam..

@PetterFriberg This is gibberish which is R/A

It was not that simple once...

which post are you referring to?

I suspect Shog meant disputing the flag

I have never heard of declining a valid flag just because of rep. But mods can delete normally to avoid the rep penalty

no decline, see also answer from Undo here meta.stackoverflow.com/a/317611/5292302

@PetterFriberg that wasn't autoflagged

I'm not considering that, more in general needed to know if some new meta ecc was up, since the mod flag got declined, so I'm a bit confused.

Huh? We don't control network policy, if that's what you're after

I know you don't but you keep updated with'em, so I wanted to know if you had new info

Not as far as I'm aware

ok, thanks Art

............

so that's why it was crashing

@NobodyNada No, it crashed because I kicked it.

This line determines how many extra bytes to allocate for a CFNumber, on top of the CFRuntimeBase stuff

unfortunately, the compiler inserted 4 padding bytes in there, which that line did not account for

So when accessing the last member of the structure, it would spill past the end of the struct and overwrite some of malloc's bookkeeping information

That's why you use sizeof, like every other call to _CFRuntimeCreateInstance does

Anyway, I have to leave for a concert. See you tomorrow!

Art? What is this abomination?

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Few unique characters in answer, no whitespace in answer, repeating characters in answer: How do I export VLC media library to file? by Glenn on superuser.com

@NobodyNada that is some nasty C

@quartata shrug it's 20 years old, and it was designed to be as fast as possible

As far as C code goes, it's not that bad

Is that Foundation?

@quartata CoreFoundation. It's a C library which much of Foundation is built on

@QPaysTaxes definitely the first thing I noticed

Also odd indentation and some yucky switches

Inconsistent spacing in boolean expressions

inconsistent comparison ordering

Oh of course

That doesn't mean it doesn't bother me even though it's forgivable

@QPaysTaxes They did; just not on every platform :D

If you want some really nasty C, take a look at the original C compiler : github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/tree/Research-V3/c

CI on a314760 succeeded.

@QPaysTaxes They knew for their platform

@QPaysTaxes sorry; that's not the original C compiler; it was a C port of the C compiler
