Are we going to watch Monily as its not caught by Smokey?

I can't watch it because I don't have any privileges

3:46 PM

@JakeSymons it's not caught, but the website is. I think that's fine for now.

Once they start spamming without the website, we can start watching it.

@Glorfindel great :). I'll look out for it, I know the spammer is making several accounts, while on his profile it added a couple.

Is that to spam multiple sites quickly?

Could be. We had two users who did this earlier this week.

Does the time delay between questions apply cross site?

It should.

This report (MS) demonstrates additional characters which should be detected as numbers for all of the SD rules looking for numbers (e.g. phone numbers). The post used Unicode characters like: ⑧. There are other sets with human-readable numbers elsewhere in Unicode (e.g. ①⑴⒈⓵⓿🄁🄋➊) in addition to those in the in the 'Number, Decimal Digit' Category.

@Undo Like clockwork might be a nice hat for Smokey

@quartata are the characters that we check for on the regex?

hm?

This message

Trying to find which ones we actually look for

Although the regex is really interesting, i'm looking at this bit of it

github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/blob/master/…

the easiest way is to replace the Unicode chars with the regular numbers at the beginning

wow, it looks really complicated but its all based on simple regex isn't it?

6:10 PM

yes

the only other thing it does is run it through phonenumbers.is_possible_number

which is a separate library

that checks area codes and stuff

don't worry about it

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad keyword in answer: How to transfer HubSpot blog to WordPress? by Kirti on stackoverflow.com (@quartata)

@quartata I might have a read over the code at some point, probably the best way of increasing python knoledge

I wouldn't say findspam is a good example of nice clean Python code necessarily

but sure go for it :P

Yeah, I kind of have to learn how to code at some point. Especially considering there's no coding on the computing exam as everyone got the awnsers of here and exam board took it off.

@JakeSymons I'm gonna say yeah it would, but bear in mind that all of those things aren't really good indicators of people who are good with privileges.

6:15 PM

@ArtOfCode okay, so what should I be doing?

Honestly, the only way to tell if someone's ready for privileges is for a bunch of people to interact with them over a period of time in here, and make a judgement based on experience.

@ArtOfCode So just hang out here then :)

However, that doesn't tend to go down very well with prospective privilegees, so we tried to encode it as numbers. They work as soft requirements, to an extent, but not all the time.

@ArtOfCode great, so when people think I'm ready for privileges I'll get them?

Based on experience, I'd say you're getting there. Your first few times in here didn't go particularly well; I think you know that as well as we do. But I've been much happier with the last couple days in particular - you've been showing a desire to learn about the system and use it correctly, which was more lacking earlier on.

6:19 PM

@ArtOfCode yeah, its been easier now I've got association bonus and can flag everything everywhere. P.S how fast do you type?

You're not entirely there yet. Keep doing what you're doing, try to avoid getting suspended (as a guide, a month since your last suspension), and come back to me sometime after Jan 7th, and we'll see where you are.

@JakeSymons stupidly fast

last time I checked I could hit 80 wpm

@ArtOfCode average is around 40 isn't it. Wow :).

@JakeSymons Rather than adjust each regex, it's probably easier to have a function which adjusts the post being checked prior to running it through any number checks. That function could convert anything that's identified as a number-equivalent to it's ASCII-equivalent number. Doing so would allow placing everything that's accounting for various alternate Unicode based "numbers" into one function, rather than have to repeatedly adjust multiple regexes scattered throughout the code.

@Makyen yep yep

@Makyen That sounds easier then repeating it

6:22 PM

12 mins ago, by quartata

the easiest way is to replace the Unicode chars with the regular numbers at the beginning

that way it can also check for valid phone numbers with the other thingy

@JakeSymons it's Lorem Ipsum

lipsum.com

Lorem ipsum

In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is a filler text or greeking commonly used to demonstrate the textual elements of a graphic document or visual presentation. Replacing meaningful content with placeholder text allows designers to design the form of the content before the content itself has been produced. The lorem ipsum text is typically a scrambled section of De finibus bonorum et malorum, a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed to make it nonsensical, improper Latin. A variation of the ordinary lorem ipsum text has been used in typesetting since...

@Glorfindel Oh year, google docs does the same thing, should have noticed :)

8:15 PM

@JakeSymons removed it. Probably just added to overcome the character limit.

Not character limit, rather text to code ratio or something like that.

We once did a project for GPs, and were showing a partial finished product which contained a few pages with Lorem ipsum in it. One of the key users, who recognized it as Latin, actually tried to translate it and wrote a confused e-mail because she didn't understand what the text was trying to achieve.

@Glorfindel I ran it through google translate, the only word it translated was "homework"

or some such order like that

Do you care about that ordering?

@ArtOfCode Just tried typing-speed-test.aoeu.eu, hit 92

thought you were talking about something else

@quartata It follows, roughly, the flow of a post top-to-bottom. It's probably good to keep.

Unless it's difficult, then I don't care that much.

@Undo hitting a pretty consistent 80

@ArtOfCode What kind of keyboard?

@Undo QWERTY

UK layout

High or low travel?

Pretty low

I'm using my MacBook Pro's chiclet keyboard.

I can usually hit 110-130 if I'm focused

Love this thing. I know a lot of people hate chiclet keyboards, but for me they work awesomely

@Undo aye, I'm faster on my tiny tablet keyboard because there's basically no travel at all

there's probably 5mm on this; previous keyboard was 8-9mm

I do slower on the tests with mixed case words though because my shift key is positioned weird

Said MacBook just received its third hard drive cable transplant. That's a horribly designed piece of hardware, but literally everything else works great six years later. So I'm okay spending $8 and ten minutes every year or so.

My own white MacBook still works 11 years later

although it runs Elementary now and I dont use it a whole lot

I mean really, who wouldn't think this is gonna fail?

Apple hardware (at least the PC stuff) seems to be invincible
