David Freitag

@Ohnana What, penetration wasn't good enough for you?

Ohnana

this is an essay for a class!

actually wait, i probably could get away with that.

hmm.

Simon

@Ohnana My boss didn't like it the first time I used the term "penetration testing".

Or at least I got a huge smile out of it.

@Rhino Are hipsters people too?

David Freitag

18:23

@Simon Is your boss a female?

raz

@DavidFreitag Where's here?

David Freitag

@raz Where I work

Simon

@DavidFreitag No, you?

Steve DL

urrrrh, students spamming before the exam

David Freitag

@Simon My direct boss is not, but the CEO is and I have several projects that I answer directly to her for.

raz

18:24

@SteveDL Just ignore them

Steve DL

sending me the same email three times in the same day emphasizing how urgent it is... ever heard of the concept of time management?

raz

@DavidFreitag "My name's @DavidFreitag and I'm important

Steve DL

@raz i feel too bad about the correlation between their tuition fees and my salary to do that :-(

Ohnana

@SteveDL tbf, time crunches are brutal

David Freitag

@SteveDL Setup an auto response: "It's nearing finals, and I'm just as swamped as you. Ever cared to consider managing your time more wisely?"

raz

18:26

@SteveDL You care, that's refreshing

David Freitag

@raz Ahno

My name may be @DavidFreitag, but I'm certainly not important. Useful, but not important.

Ohnana

@DavidFreitag i would laugh my ass off if a TA did that to me

Simon

@DavidFreitag You should invite her to a dinner.

Rоry McCune

@Simon I hate that term.. mainly 'cause it's ridiculously overused. everything from Vulnerability Assessment to Code review gets called a "penetration test"

Simon

@RоryMcCune That's because everyone giggles when we hear the term.

David Freitag

18:27

@Simon She's married. With kids. She's also the company president's daughter.

Ohnana

@RоryMcCune hey you what's a good way to say "cyberattack" that doesn't involve me rolling my eyeballs out

Rоry McCune

@Simon this would be why I prefer "security assessment"

AviD

@RоryMcCune thats ridiculous. having pentesters review code.... oh wait.

raz

@DavidFreitag What about the granddaughter ;)

Simon

^

Rоry McCune

18:28

@Ohnana attempt to compromise the security of a system

David Freitag

@raz She's 12.

Rоry McCune

it's more wordy but better

raz

>.<

Rhino

@Ohnana advanced persistent threat group 17 struck again

Ohnana

@RоryMcCune \o/

Simon

18:28

Hahahaha.

Rоry McCune

@AviD that could NEVER happen come on those are two totally dissimilar skill sets no-one could confuse them!

AviD

@RоryMcCune gawd I hate security consultancies.

no offense.

David Freitag

Dude it's 30°C outside right now.

Rhino

@SteveDL I've never understood the need to cram right up to the exam. I'm exactly the opposite - as much as possible I like to have the day off before the exam.

raz

@AviD consultancies?

David Freitag

18:29

And about 854932° in my car

Simon

@DavidFreitag 24 here!

@DavidFreitag Oh yeah, the drive home is gonna suck.

AviD

@raz yes

David Freitag

@Simon Pffft 95 on the highway will solve that issue immediately.

Rоry McCune

@AviD none taken. Actually quite enjoying some bits of working for one.. we have a LOAD of smart people. Internal mailing lists get some impressively quick results to obscure questions

Ohnana

@DavidFreitag it was 32 near me earlier and i almost died. my body was not fucking ready

David Freitag

18:30

@Ohnana I've never had that issue.

AviD

@RоryMcCune okay actually I should say managers of security consultancies.

no offence.

Ohnana

i was wearing jeans yo

Simon

@DavidFreitag I live near Montreal, there's no 95 on the highway from about 3 PM to 7-8 PM.

David Freitag

@Ohnana I don't wear pants.

Rоry McCune

@AviD that's ok, I'm not one :) I just do delivery ..

Ohnana

18:31

@DavidFreitag it would have been blistering in my kilt too!

David Freitag

@Simon There is a massive construction project going on near me. They are repairing all of the overpasses on a major stretch of highway.

Rhino

@RоryMcCune have you registered rory.trust yet?

AviD

@Rhino no but he owns all of .rory tld

David Freitag

@Ohnana I wear gym shorts and t-shirts. It takes >35° to get me

@Rhino trust.rory

Rhino

@AviD so they can be like java and call themselves mccune.rory and alsop.rory?

Rоry McCune

18:32

@Rhino not yet... I should see if they'll give me a discount

AviD

ha

Simon

@DavidFreitag They're doing that every summer here.

Rоry McCune

@Rhino BRB buying lottery ticket so I can afford a TLD

David Freitag

@Simon The roads in this area are largely in complete disrepair. This last winter was very harsh with all of the warm/cold cycles there was a ton of frost heaving going on.

Rhino

@RоryMcCune perhaps we should see if we can actually set it up

Rоry McCune

18:35

@Rhino heh did you see the fees... TLDs cost $180k!

David Freitag

@RоryMcCune For some reason the first time I read that I did not read the word "fees" correctly.

AviD

@RоryMcCune extra cost for the rory

Ohnana

@RоryMcCune if it doesn't exist already how can they sell it

Simon

@DavidFreitag My roads are stronger than yours.

David Freitag

I'm waiting for the <3 tld

Rоry McCune

18:36

@Ohnana dunno but the person at ICANN who came up with the idea of turning single words into $180K each better have got one hell of a bonus!

Rhino

@RоryMcCune It's got to be doable.

David Freitag

@Simon Possibly. I can't even imagine how the guy who I see driving an MP4-12C around town manages it.

His spine must be made out of titanium.

AviD

hahaha @RоryMcCune @Rhino I see I missed a good avid-bashing. hipstering me all over the place.

Rhino

@AviD What can I say? Rory was on fine form. I just encouraged him a bit...

AviD

though btw srcclr (sooo dumb without hte vowels) does have the .io

Simon

18:38

@DavidFreitag I was joking, our roads are pretty damn bad too.

Rоry McCune

@AviD extra hipster points \o/

Rhino

@AviD boom, all the proof we needed. [email protected]

Ohnana

srccir? did you have a stroke?

AviD

@Ohnana almost

Rhino

@Ohnana They couldn't afford vowels cause they spent it all on macs.

David Freitag

18:39

@Rhino [email protected]

Ohnana

who is that?

David Freitag

Is seriously hope my SSD gets here before I have to leave.

Rhino

turns out there isn't a .hipster tld. @RоryMcCune we have work to do!

Rоry McCune

@Rhino yeah we'll need some stage one VC money, that should be easy to get with an idea like .hipster though!. Quick @AviD hook us up with some of your California Angel investor types!

AviD

@Simon nah, I would have kept that around for humor. Could always use a good laugh.

Simon

18:42

lsp

AviD

also, "magic faerie dust" would have been a great answer. or anything with unicorn jizz.

@RоryMcCune heh

David Freitag

@AviD Just because that's your favorite snack doesn't make it great in an answer.

AviD

TO BE CLEAR - I was referring to the mos eisley style of music

Rhino

Yes @Avid @RоryMcCune and I need Peter Thiel or pg's phone number please. Or whatever the latest social platform is for connecting to them.

I realize phones are a bit 1999.

Simon

I wasn't even born in 1999.

AviD

18:44

@Rhino try 1800s. Email is so 1999.

Rhino

@AviD yes but the phone reached perfection around '99. The Nokia 3310 could survive anything, including nuclear war.

David Freitag

@Rhino That's not entirely true. My Nokia 3310 did not survive an accidental encounter with ignited thermite.

Simon

You and your thermite.

Rhino

@AviD Anyway whatever we need some dosh for .hipster

David Freitag

@Simon What can I say, molten iron is fun.

Simon

18:46

@DavidFreitag What about molten humans?

David Freitag

@Simon I feel like that would start to smell pretty bad.

AviD

@Rhino the problem with that is, all the true hipsters will be like "oh I used to use .hipster, before it was cool. now I've gone on to something else you've never heard of."

Rhino

@DavidFreitag Well obviously, not much would survive a direct hit. But in the event of WW3, two species will survive: cockroaches, and nokia 3310s. There'll still be one out there somewhere looking for GSM signal.

David Freitag

@Rhino IN A WORLD CONSISTING ONLY OF NOKIA 3310'S

AviD

@DavidFreitag AND WOLVERINE

because, obviously

Rhino

18:48

@DavidFreitag Or cockroaches using nokia 3310s.

After all they have to text somehow

Simon

Do you guys feel like anything's possible when you're initializing a dictionary of objects?

Because I do.

AviD

@Simon @Simon finally gets to create his own dictionary. Now the rest of his conversations here make sense.

Simon

simon simon simon simon simon

AviD

@Simon is that like "fish fish fish fish fish fish"?

Simon

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AviD

18:55

or "buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo "?

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatical sentence in American English, used as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs. It has been discussed in literature, in various forms, since 1967 when it appeared in Dmitri Borgmann's Beyond Language: Adventures in Word and Thought. The sentence uses three distinct meanings of the word buffalo: the city of Buffalo, New York; the somewhat uncommon verb to buffalo, meaning "to bully or intimidate"; and the American buffalo (a species of bison). Paraphrased, the...

Simon

That dude was definitely high on something.

AviD

3

Q: "Fish fish fish fish fish fish fish": valid sentence?

I have seen that buffalo buffalo... has been posted here before. However some sites claim also that the sentence Fish fish fish fish fish fish fish. makes sense. Can someone confirm and explain?

Simon

@AviD Did you ever raid the PHP chat?

AviD

@Simon nuh uh

Simon

:D

Don't you wanna be known as the guy who started raiding in SE chats?

We could write flooding bots, just like back in the days on battle.net.

AviD

18:59

Don't you wanna be known as the guy who goes around stealing candy from babies?

actually you probably already are...

David Freitag

@Simon Wat?

Simon

I stay very far away from babies.

@DavidFreitag On Starcraft, there were clans of people who didn't actually play the game at all, they would just collect names and war other clans.

David Freitag

@Simon Wat?

Simon

Yep.

David Freitag

What you just said made literally no sense.

AviD

19:03

@DavidFreitag this surprises you?

Simon

all pls

David Freitag

@AviD @Simon is very rarely completely nonsensical.

Simon

It's much funner when you pretend that I don't ever make sense in @AviD's head.

AviD

get out of my head, @Simon.

Simon

I'm not done yet.

AviD

19:14

you better not leave a mess like last time.

Steve DL

@DavidFreitag brilliant. my boss told me to write a script to notify them that their emais were queued, and to add 500 imaginary emails at the start of the queue to put them off from spamming

s/them/spammy students/ #nocontext

@Rhino i take it as a personal challenge to take my exams with very superficial to no preparation, to see how much I actually understood from the lecture

Simon

@SteveDL You are a good person.

Steve DL

oh i dont think so :-)

Simon

wat

Rоry McCune

hey @RoryAlsop you NEED one of these

The Sound Torch - Demo Video

►

David Freitag

19:23

@SteveDL :D

Woo my SSD has arrived. Thank you Amazon.

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune oh yes! I want that on stage

David Freitag

@RoryAlsop Making one of those is fairly easy, just drill holes in a PVC pipe at regular intervals and fill the pipe with propane and play music into it.

AviD

19:42

@DavidFreitag yeah, doing that on stage in a crowded bar, doesnt sound dangerous at all

Rory Alsop

Apparently I do need some safety features

AviD

@RoryAlsop like, wear trousers instead of a kilt?

oh lordy. @RоryMcCune someone just sent me a long list of horrible puns. I immediately thought of you.

more?

Rhino

@SteveDL Oh I prepare... but by making notes and studying well before the exam, not just before it. I can't absorb ideas in 48 hours successfully

Steve DL

@Rhino i can tell you that my students cant either :D

Rhino

@SteveDL My implication was I don't believe anyone can...

David Freitag

19:50

@AviD yolo

AviD

@Rhino well it really depends on the content for the test, doesnt it?

Steve DL

of course.

Rhino

@SteveDL besides I do my degree while working full time, so, 48 hour cramming wouldn't work.

AviD

some things you need to understand, some you need to absorb, and sometimes you just need a big pile of random facts in short term memory.

thats why I dislike any generic study tips.

Steve DL

well, we do have a few geniuses. It's funny when you realise some of the students are better than you at what you teach, fortunately it remains rare

Ouch, yes. Full time employment is a big handicap

David Freitag

19:52

I find that I rarely need to study.

schroeder

@SteveDL you don't have to be smarter than your students: you need to be on a different path than your students and push in ways they do not know how to push themselves.

Rhino

@AviD I'm doing a maths degree, so you need to have a solid mental model of what's going on, a general strategy for how to tackle certain problems and a bit of luck seeing the right tricks on the day

David Freitag

So far the only class I have really had to study was differential equations, but only because I had to remember my integral/differentiation rules.

AviD

@Rhino still depends which specific class, no?

Rhino

@AviD Yep, some topics are generally easier than others.

Also factor in exam markers from hell

AviD

19:54

some classes are weighted more to deep understanding, some for quick practice, and some a long list of laws and proofs.

Rhino

@AviD the worst is being asked to give proofs in the exam for maths. Although I like this, my experience suggests examiners are incredibly picky

and it doesn't help that my university sets exams such that finishing is nearly impossible

AviD

@Rhino I dont like it at all. it is always either a question of rote memorization, or trying to prove it anew (which is not a great idea in time-limited exam, unless it is trivial).

Rhino

@AviD I like it but I don't love it. I love proof, but it's a slow game where you are precise - like you say in an exam situation you're down to rote memorization or nothing.

with a possible small variation in the algebra

David Freitag

@AviD In most cases I would say proofs on a quiz/exam are trivial if you know your stuff. Otherwise it would not seem very trivial.

At least, that has been my experience thus far.

AviD

@DavidFreitag well I remember having to spew out big non-trivial proofs, where we were basically expected to know it by heart.

Rhino

20:01

@AviD I've done the same; I've also done "repeat-a-proof" where the proof was, I assume, supposed to be a you've-seen-this-before-on-the-course-we-just-changed-the-numbers.

AviD

which to me is stupid and very un-mathy.

David Freitag

@AviD So far we have been asked to explain big non-trivial proofs, not actually go through the proof itself. This way we show that we have an understanding of how the proof works rather than just being able to memorize the proof step by step.

AviD

it should be about understanding, and applying. repeating a proof by list of steps is neither.

@DavidFreitag ah that would be better, though I'm not sure how that would work.

essay questions on a math exam?

Steve DL

maths... that trauma...

David Freitag

@AviD Example: "Explain what a minimum element is an why every subset of the natural numbers has a minimum element."

That leads to explaining the well-ordering principle and how mathematical induction is used in conjunction with the well-ordering principle to show that the set of natural numbers has a minimum element, etc.

Steve DL

20:06

principLE :p

David Freitag

Hehe, it's listed in my notes as WOP

Steve DL

(sorry. that's a scar left on me by grading numerous essays about principles' assets and Schroeder and Saltzer's security principals)

AviD

@DavidFreitag it's like you're speaking Greek.

David Freitag

@SteveDL Hahaha, no worries. There are a few mistakes I make like that. The usual suspect is "accept" in place of "except"

@AviD Elementary mathematics, man.

AviD

@DavidFreitag I hate "insure" instead of "ensure".

Every.Single.Report.

David Freitag

20:11

Heh, what's worse is when you sent an email to an outside engineering firm with a grammatical error and they hit "reply all" to correct you. It's a lovely experience when I know my boss, the president, CEO, and the president's wife all get that message.

AviD

well, then, dont make grammatical errors.

Or you can respond with snark.

David Freitag

@AviD Unfortunately this company isn't as laid back as that. Nobody would find it funny.

AviD

@DavidFreitag you would.

we would too, especisally after you get fired.

I'm kidding, losing ones job is not funny.

David Freitag

I wouldn't get fired for snark. I'm sure nobody would even care.

It would take nothing short of punching someone in the face to lose my job.

AviD

then do it!

@DavidFreitag oo do that!

Steve DL

20:17

ahahah, that's rough @Avid

David Freitag

For example, shortly before I was hired here someone was polishing live ammunition with one of the benchtop grinders here. The company's response to that was, "Please don't do that."

Steve DL

Is that a dangerous thing to do?

We don't have the whole gun knowledge in Europe... :p

David Freitag

@SteveDL If you consider a bullet being accidently fired within the building dangerous, then yes.

Steve DL

Sounds totally fun.

David Freitag

I think the correct response to something like that is more along the lines of, "ARE YOU INSANE? GET OUT AND DON'T COME BACK"

AviD

20:19

@DavidFreitag not sure I do

David Freitag

@AviD Apparently neither did they. They were even courteous enough to wait until he was finished polishing them to ask him to stop.

AviD

@DavidFreitag maybe they were hoping it would go off and save them the unpleasantness

just give him the Darwin Award

David Freitag

@AviD Because the unpleasantness of brain matter spattered everywhere is less unpleasant than a simple conversation with a crazy person.

AviD

@DavidFreitag yes exactly.

Rhino

@DavidFreitag I think my exam paper last year asked me to prove 0 isn't equal to 1 in first order logic using the axioms of Q (essentially peano arithmetic)

amongst other things

David Freitag

20:25

@Rhino Yeah I've only gotten started with proofs, that's still gibberish to me :P

AviD

@Rhino you misspelt "pedant".

David Freitag

@AviD No, it says right there "AviD"

AviD

@DavidFreitag right in the middle of "David"

Rhino

memcpy(&AviD, &Pedant, len(Pedant)); Segfault overlapping memory.

David Freitag

@AviD Was that a clever euphemism?

AviD

20:28

heh

not sure where that came from, though. I am far from the most pedantic here.

I am neither a pedant nor a hipster.

"pedant" always sounds like "pedo".

David Freitag

@AviD Sounds pretty pedantic to me.

Rhino

Anyway @DavidFreitag it turns out proof opens up quite a lot of questions. We typically do proof using informalish arguments like "well imagine induction doesn't hold on the whole set and there's a set that does not contain all the elements... now realize that set has a least element, consider the element before it and find that you've got two competing arguments"

Yes that works... but it's not formal in the sense it's just a jumble of words. First order logic starts out with a set of hard and concrete axioms and a set of rules, like conditions where you can remove the universal identifier, or add it and how this affects the assumptions

(second order logic moves up in the world and handles sets)

David Freitag

@Rhino Right, that's kinda what I meant. Instead of a very formal mathematical proof it's more of a logical progression of thoughts.

Steve DL

@Rhino then prove that the meaning of the words you used is universally agreed across humans. Harold Garfinkel's ethnomethodology book might come in handy

Mwahahaha.

AviD

@Rhino it was those fake hypotheticals that made me dislike math classes.

Steve DL

20:32

leaves

Rhino

(and if you keep going you go past turtles and type theory and end up at haskell)

AviD

"let's create a bunch of arbitrary rules, and see how far we can take them!"

Steve DL

@AviD yet thats exactly how all forms of knowledge are built

resting on prior assumptions

Rhino

@AviD actually this is the whole point of doing it. It turns out you can't disprove certain statements called provability predicates within a finite set of axioms

Steve DL

building coherent sets of rules is the first step towards theory, and falsifying theory is either finding internal inconsistency, fault within the assumptions, or different sets of rules that explain more stuff more easily

AviD

20:34

@Rhino right. but that doesnt stop them from hypothesizing if those predicates were disproved.

David Freitag

I've been working on this one for a while now: "Any number whose digits add to a number divisible by 3 is itself divisible by 3"

AviD

@SteveDL thats not what I mean. I mean "yes these rules are of course false, but lets pretend they're real - now lets make up more rules based on those"

like science fiction, but with math.

Rhino

are you after a hint @DavidFreitag

David Freitag

@Rhino Nope

Rhino

@AviD it's not the rules that are made up. We believe they work - and we believe they're consistent (that is, every theory we can express with the rules is either true or false)

we just can't prove it

David Freitag

20:36

I'm pretty sure it's been proven up to some number, but I don't know if it has been universally proven yet.

Steve DL

but are they always false? sometimes some systems work according to different rules, e.g. quantum physics. or you could image areas where you do research on fluids dynamics by looking at some hypothetical water with "wrong" properties only to discover you're on your way to creating a fluid that cannot mix with other fluids of other types, or has a viscosity that allows it to displace itself, or whatever crazy **** the fluid dynamics mad scientists are up to these days

i really need to come up with examples here.

Gilles

@AviD You've just described risk mitigation. “Yes of course the adversary can't get into the building, but let's pretend he did, what can he steal?”

AviD

@SteveDL liquid helium.

what-if.xkcd.com/50

@Gilles heh, true.

but to me it always seemed like the opposite - "Yes of course the adversary CAN get into the building, but let's pretend he can't - what would that mean?"

David Freitag

Hahahaha

> You should probably avoid splash fights.

Rhino

@DavidFreitag if you label the digits e.g. a_2a_1a_0 for a number, then that number is (10)^2a_2 + 10a_1 + a_0. Take that modulo 3 - then (10)^2a_2 + 10a_1 + a_0 equiv a_2 + a_1 + a_0 mod 3. So if the rhs of that is equiv 0 mod 3, so is the lhs, therefore so is the number. Now just introduce sums with n arbitrary digits - or use mathematical induction.

My mother in law is visiting - she wants to watch the election programme all night

She's a bit baffled by my hatred of politics and politicians

So I may be drinking and being online instead :-)

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop yay for Alcohol and Internet

BTW @AviD have you seen the Twitter hashtag #1pun?

has gems like "Just met an Asparagus Producer, at the Races, and asked for some tips."

schroeder

lol - I'm thinking the "watching" the election results is not what she wants: she wants to be around people who will listen to her react to the election results all night

@RоryMcCune Oh. Dear.

@RоryMcCune are you getting all of these from punny on reddit?

I don't see the point of watching the election when I could just wake up in the morning and find out what happened.

It's not like watching people empty boxes of votes is exciting

Or actually that I believe any of the political parties are all that exciting. This is probably the most boring election I've been eligible to vote in.

Rory Alsop

22:24

I will not watch any of it, and I'll still be annoyed in the morning as I won't be able to avoid hearing/reading about it

@RoryAlsop the tories/labour won it but not a majority and formed a coalition with some combination of ukip/snp/lib dems. There you go that's what will happen.

stoppit you ;-P

Rhino

@RoryAlsop There is a potentially terrible outcome, y'know. We end up with a parliament so hung nobody can form a government, the queen's speech doesn't pass the vote and we have to do the whole election thing again.

AviD

@Rhino most politicians aren't really well hung, they just like to pretend they are.

inferiority complex, and all that.

Rhino

perhaps I should have said balanced parliament

hung was inviting trouble, really

AviD

most of them are unbalanced.

Rhino

@AviD balanced in the party political side of things, not necessarily balanced as in holding rational, normal views.

AviD

@Rhino I can't imagine most politicians having a fun party.

Rhino

@AviD no but then people say the same thing of IT nerds right. And we can seriously party. Like this one time I had a LAN party and it was a blast!

AviD

heh, lan parties ARE fun

plus you get to blast everyone

Rhino

@AviD in fairness though, I agree with you. Most politicians I'm like... needs more humour.

AviD

reminds me of that classic Guam line from the end of Good Morning Vietnam

@AviD Too easy, it wouldn't be satisfying.

AviD

@Simon TWSS ?

Simon

Terry Chia

23:52

@AviD @Simon obviously wouldn't know what she said since his donut/right hand can't talk.

Simon

@TerryChia pls she's to the left of me right now.

Edited to make sense.
