@RоryMcCune Yea, I basically lost yesterday due to it... I learned about it somewhere around 3PM, and basically I've only been reading yesterday, but I did caught up.
@Arperum girlgenius, yeah that's a long haul, I made the mistake of re-starting it the other day 'cause it had been a while... several hours later I realised I had other things to do..
@CodesInChaos Yet GMail, Apple, and everyone manage it fine. This wasn't an issue with insufficient throttling, this was an issue with forgetting to throttle for a single API endpoint (or login page, forgot which)
Yes, I said Apple manage sit fine -- the normal login portals are throttled okay. A specific one wasn't
I'm saying that any decent framework should have some throttling that can be applied to all login pages. And anyway, companies like Apple and all probably should be having a special thingy in their framework that lets them declare that a form is a login form (and the rest of the logic, including throttling, is taken care of)
@deed02392 @LucasKauffman @RоryMcCune or any testers in here, if you run across any IIS servers running SSL during your tests and if you are able to mind giving my tool (github.com/Ayrx/tlsenum) a whirl to see if there are any problems?
Directory brute forcing can be used to enumerate the directory, this can be done using tools like Directory Buster for Directory Enumeration
These tools have millions of words of lists, which are bruteforced on the website, to enumerate directories. This is done at a rapid speed.
To counter thi...
@TerryChia How do you properly deal with datefield in django? I'd like to return a string with Y-m-d from the model instead of having to handle the object in my view.
Do you declare a method that does it directly in the model?
@Adnan With the right-wings nuts rising in power and winning stupid votation one after the other, the covernment isn't keen to "look weak" regarding foreign influence
So chances are it's going to be as delayed as possible unless the EU or US decides to kick the banks in the nuts and refuse to give them access to the open market
Well, at least yours can't impose (and win) ballots to write stupid things in the constitution like prohibiting minarets or forcing quotas on foreign workers from the EU (among other silly things)
(I'll shut up now... this isn't good for my blood pressure)
@Adnan I'm pretty sure the situation is different in different countries. but in Switzerland ? That's beyond stupid: the main reason why the country is doing so well 8comparatively) is that the best people from our neighbors wants to work in Switzerland.
and I do believe that without immigration, the population growth in many countries will fall negative, which will be catastrophic in the long run for ageing countries (like the Nordics)
@Stephane Which is fantastic. The problem is that many people from EU/EEA are exploiting the free movement laws to come and stay without means of support.
I see nothing wrong with making rules to limit that
If the country has too many carpenters and too few doctors, then why accept more foreign carpenters?
@Adnan It doesn't really happen here because a/ the subsidies for foreigners aren't really great (i.e. you can't live off it) and life is really expensive
So we have a problem with migrants from outside the EU (and to a lesser extend, from very, poor countries in the EU) but that's about it
Every stats point to Switzerland NOT having a problem with foreigners
Except in the head of some brainless cavemen in central Switzerland...
But again, this is Switzerland. A weird place by many aspects
Well... that's the end of the (work) day for me... o/
@Adnan It is not catastrophic in the long run; it just means that people won't be able to enjoy 30+ years of retirement.
The whole concept of "people work, then retire, then die" works as long as the people who are retired but not yet dead are few when compared to the people still working.
Now, of course, politically speaking, it can be hard to make electors accept the idea that their dream of living long, in good health, with large pensions paid by other people and without working, that dream will never come true.
@ThomasPornin @CodesInChaos I don't see why that particular sentence was picked. I do support reasonable immigration regulations. That's a good compramise between no immigration (more old people, bad after-work life, etc.) and open borders (erasing national identity, local culture compramise, etc.)
I don't think that "let's close the borders" is a solution to the "immigrants don't integrate, leech off of the wellfare system, and do crimes" problem.
Make wellfare benefits conditional on successful integration, and deport immigrant criminals.. that might be a better solution
@Adnan But the sentence I responded too was not about that. It was about immigration as a solution for the "people are getting old and don't make enough children" problem.
@ThomasPornin Nope, I didn't say it's a solution. Multiple times I made it clear that reasonable immigration is a meeting-it-half-way solution, and not a pnnecea.
@DavidFreitag Ahhh.. I'm getting tired of hearing this, by the way. What kind of government help that allows you to have jewlery, nice clothes, and very expensive cars?
@Adnan I don't care about "multiple times", I just logged on and commented on the first sentence I saw. I have not read the previous conversation, but I feel entitled to talk nonetheless. I think I really master this Internet thing now.
@Simon I never said that. Actually, I quite detest people who say that. "A: ISIS are killing people, they need to stop. B: Well, it's not like the U.S. didn't kill people!"
@Gilles I have checked on the Merriam-Webster: one definition of "elector" is "someone who can vote in an election", which maps to the French électeur. That's the meaning I want here. A votant ("someone who has actually voted") would in fact be translated to "voter" (it seems that "voter" covers both meanings).
@ThomasPornin I checked a few dictionaries (not the OED, I don't have access to it at the moment). They aren't consistent when you get down to nuances between the two words.
In a CGI script, what characters can HTTP_COOKIE contain?
@JourneymanGeek still on hiatus, unclear whether it'll resume
@Arperum Now go read Freefall (very Asimov, except from someone who understands how humans work), Widdershins (magic), Endtown (post-apocalyptic), Skin Horse (black ops welfare, by the author of Narbonic. You have read Narbonic, right?), (cont.)
(cont.) Order of the Stick (the second-best D&D-inspired webcomic), YAFGC (the best D&D-inspired webcoming, though the inspiration is very thin), What Birds Know (almost finished), and a couple more I'm forgetting. See you next year!
