oh shit

Apple is going to start using ARM in Macs

rip intel

Grant Garrison

@quartata Apple is going to no headphone jack. Rip headphone jack

angussidney

Won't that also have some software compatibility issues as well?

I wonder if Apple can match the speed of Intel's processors, after all they haven't made a laptop/desktop CPU in a long time.

Then again, performance isn't why people choose Macs.....

Grant Garrison

@angussidney iMac Pro?

angussidney

Good point

I'm more thinking along the lines of their macbooks etc

quartata

10:35 PM

@angussidney well last time they did this going from PowerPC to Intel they made a compatibility layer (Rosetta)

gparyani

That errorsolutions.tech spam is so pervasive...maybe it's time to contact SE and request that that domain be prevented from being linked to in posts from new users?

quartata

@angussidney almost certainly. i think more research effort is going into making ARM chips faster than Intel personally, regardless of whether it's for phones or not

ArtOfDuck

@gparyani not very

gparyani

Have we ever contacted SE to request that they add domains to their spam blacklist?

quartata

I think MS SQL explorer permalinks are broken?

oh, nevermind

ArtOfDuck

10:38 PM

@quartata define broken?

quartata

you edited the query

ArtOfDuck

@gparyani nope

angussidney

@gparyani spamram is not a URL blacklist. It is based on IPs

quartata

metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/domains/147

angussidney

Also, chance of SE caring is 0. Tripleee has posted multiple meta posts asking for stuff like this to be done, and it doesn't even get a response from SE

quartata

10:40 PM

or maybe metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/domains/6472

plenty of domains with way more TPs

A: How do I get attention for old, unfixed bug reports and feature requests without official responses here on Meta?

First of all, it's worth mentioning that an official response from the team is not guaranteed. However, there are a few different things you can do to a bug report or feature request (overall, "request") to increase the chances it gets an official response, which depend on whether the original re...

Wikipedia recently added "cookie blocks" to their "autoblocking" system, which means that if the system blocks an IP, it will also set a cookie on computers trying to access from the blocked IP. Thus, if they naively change IPs, they'll still be blocked.

Would you guys support a feature request for SpamRam asking for cookie blocks to be added to it?

ArtOfDuck

We're not a voting ring...

I think it's a good idea, but I doubt it'll get implemented

angussidney

I think we're doing too good of a job for SE to care anymore

Oh, I love Smoke Detector, @Möoz. When one of these site-hopping spam-rings used to blow through, I'd have to sit with the logs open tracking them and trying to get out in front with blacklists and IP-bans; this is a lot cleaner. But as for whether y'all want it operating here... Either you do, or you don't; if you don't, then you'll deal with your own spam up until it becomes a problem you can't handle and then I'll say "well, turn on SD then" and that'll be it - at that point, you don't get to complain. So if you have an opinion now and you want it heard... Best voice it. On MSE. — Shog9 ♦ Mar 6 at 3:34

Hey dear people

I'm trying to generate a GitHub token for local use by Jekyll

ideally I want to be able to commit it into the repo

so it should grant only read access to data which is public anyway

developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/… suggests that if I select no scope, that should be exactly what I want

but I am not 100% certain I can trust my understanding of this

So does anyone know for sure or can point me to a resource that assures that tokens without a scope are safe to publish?

Undo

11:06 PM

@ByteCommander "Grants read-only access to public information (includes public user profile info, public repository info, and gists)" sounds pretty clear to me

Byte Commander

hmmm

rubber duck debugging proves effective

Undo

I'd be stunned if it granted access to anything not-public too.

Byte Commander

while describing it here, I got to think of a different search term and found stackoverflow.com/a/44087386/4464570

so it is safe regarding the access it grants, but may still be abused to drain quota and get rate-limited or suspended

Undo

@ByteCommander Why do you need to commit it?

Don't understand that bit.

Byte Commander

I want to collaborate on a github page with some people

and for proper local development, one needs an api token to fetch some info from github

Undo

11:10 PM

Seems like it'd be best to let them get their own token

Byte Commander

if I could just place one safe token in my build script, that would simplify the process for the others

but yeah, probably

An interesting side effect of if I can get an LSTM VAE trained for these domains

You can sample from one by sampling from the gaussian and then putting that through the decoding half of the network

So in effect we'd be able to make our own spam domains
