Q: Need help recognizing this game from this gif

As the title says what game is shown in this gif? The image is here, too large to attach and could not be compressed.(gif)

game-identification

badp

took me 14 instructions to keep track of the maximum of a null-terminated list of numbers

and the limit is 15 so that's fine

but then you also need to keep track of the minimum so you need additional instructions to set the minimum to 999 before you look at any number

kludging ensues

@badp There's nothing but the thumbnail and the article in the video.

badp

@Ronan YOU TOLD ME THAT VIDEO WASN'T FRIDAY THAT TIME

AND THEN IT WAS FRIDAY

HOW CAN I TRUST YOU NOW

Ronan

It wasn't technically.

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Yeah, it takes a lot of effort to disband a government agency.

Wipqozn

@Yuuki I'm sure the end result will that the TSA will be given better training so they learn to abuse people in such a way that no one will know.

MUCH DESPAIR

so enough of that, because seriously fuck everything about that and the TSA

although fuck

Unionhawk

Have you ever flown from the United States?

It's typically not awful

Incidents like that are the exception not the rule.

Ronan

8:36 PM

@Unionhawk You are a fully able white male though.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Are they though? You hear shit about the TSA everyday.

Unionhawk

Do you?

Yuuki

@Wipqozn They're typically annoying as f--k. This kind of violent behavior is usually the domain of the police.

Unionhawk

Yeah usually they're at worst annoying

Yuuki

@Ronan It seems the only time I see you now when racial/gender issues are brought up. And I'm not sure what percentage of the time it's you that's bringing them up.

user15026

8:41 PM

It's tricky - TSA is not perfect, by a large margin, but you also have to consider the large number of people that fly out and into the states EVERY DAY.

user15026

The problem is, we only remember the awful stories like this. Doesn't make them less awful (seriously this makes me so angry that this happened, I can't even) but also like @Unionhawk said, exception, not rule.

user15026

I do wish there were less exceptions, as it feels like I hear more terrible out of TSA than I do CBSA, but I dunno.

user15026

(I think CBSA is the right Canadian equivalent)

Yuuki

@Ash The problem is that not only is the TSA not perfect, they're not even close to effective at what they do.

user15026

@Yuuki Well, yes that too, I'm not saying they're good, I'm just saying they're not all monsters

user15026

8:43 PM

(At least I hope not)

Unionhawk

@Yuuki effective as in effective or effective as in efficient?

Yuuki

The Department of Homeland Security ran several testing exercises on multiple airports and the TSA success rate was roughly 3%.

IIRC.

Unionhawk

Ah

Yuuki

> An internal investigation of the Transportation Security Administration revealed security failures at dozens of the nation’s busiest airports, where undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials, ABC News has learned.

The series of tests were conducted by Homeland Security Red Teams who pose as passengers, setting out to beat the system.

According to officials briefed on the results of a recent Homeland Security Inspector General’s report, TSA agents failed 67 out of 70 tests, with Red Team members repeatedly …

user15026

Yeah, stuff like that makes me so nervous.

user15026

8:45 PM

But I just tell myself more people fly and live than fly and die, so my odds are decent.

Unionhawk

I feel like it's on the order of lightning odds

Maybe not quite

Yuuki

> In a 2013 hearing on Capitol Hill, then-TSA administrator John Pistole, described the Red Team as “super terrorists,” who know precisely which weaknesses to exploit.

“[Testers] know exactly what our protocols are. They can create and devise and conceal items that … not even the best terrorists would be able to do,” Pistole told lawmakers at a House hearing.

... always assume that enemies/intruders/hackers/etc. know your protocols.

user15026

@Unionhawk Yeah, that's what I tell myself, because my paranoia brain doesn't need any more help.

Tim Stone

Was he the one with the huge stake in the full body scanners?

Also I'm pretty sure in some of the cases they did things like just throw a gun in a bag and no one noticed

So that's not really "super terrorism"

Unionhawk

I'm shocked my bag didn't get pulled aside at either end traveling to dive

I always carry my regulators on, so on the xray, it just looks like a big coil of tubes and such

fredley

8:49 PM

I got pulled aside for having a box of chalk pastels in my bag

Exactly this set:

Tim Stone

Could have been colourful C4!

Unionhawk

I'm pretty sure xrays are color blind

Or whatever technology they use

user15026

I've only flown once and didn't have any issues

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk xray is a single color so yes

(xrays, light, microwaves, wifi, magnets, all the same thing)

fredley

@Ash Probably flown about 100 times and that's the only issue

Other than the occasional random screen

Yuuki

8:53 PM

TIL @fredley is a bird

Tim Stone

I got into a fight with a customs agent once, that was fun

Kevin van der Velden

user15026

I didn't like flying, it made my cyborg bits hate me.

fredley

Oh wait, I got denied boarding once

Unionhawk

@Ash do you have a special cyborg identification card or does that not set off detectors?

fredley

8:53 PM

After 6 months in India. Had lost an Important piece of paper that I did not know was important.

Tim Stone

@KevinvanderVelden Nah, just shouting

Kevin van der Velden

@Ash the pressure thing? You're probably also not allowed to dive

fredley

So bribe

fredley

user15026

8:54 PM

@Unionhawk I did have a thing from my doctor but it's medical grade plastic and junk so unless they bodyscan they won't see anything

Unionhawk

Oh man

user15026

And I didn't get bodyscanned

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden yeah, nope, not a thing. Which sucks because I feel like it would be fun

Unionhawk

One of my high school teachers has a hip replacement that sets stuff off

Tim Stone

@fredley The Dutch interrogated me for being an elevated risk, but they realised I wasn't so that went pretty smoothly

Unionhawk

8:55 PM

So he's got a card that says "yo I have a metal hip"

fredley

@Ash I've never had to do those luckily, but only been to the US a handful of times

Unionhawk

@fredley it's actually not bad

Kevin van der Velden

@TimStone All @Tim's are suspect

fredley

@TimStone Got a random screen in Dubai, but the guy didn't seem to be that interested

Tim Stone

@KevinvanderVelden At least when traveling alone, it seems

fredley

8:56 PM

@Unionhawk It's worse than almost everywhere else I've flown to, but it's survivable

user15026

@Unionhawk Yeah, I had one that said "these are medical bits" because it goes from brain to belly and is all coiled tubes and junk so I suspect I look super suspect to the right person

Unionhawk

It is standard in the United States, but it's still not an awful process

Empty pockets into backpack, boom

You're clear

fredley

@Unionhawk But the lines man, the lines

Unionhawk

It's not terrifically slow

Tim Stone

Unionhawk

And the TSA is testing ways for pro much travelers to pass slower travelers

Which as a pro much traveler, is very yes

Tim Stone

I mean TSA Pre has existed for years but it's annoying and a further invasion

Checking for explosives is pretty much the only useful check anyway, no one's going to be able to commit another September 11th-type attack because passengers have stopped assuming a hijacking will end peacefully. But that's a Hard Problem if advanced explosives are used, and the current methods don't do much to address that effectively

@TimStone they have a thing where you stage your bags on one thing then only when you're ready push it onto the belt

I'm trying to understand the explanation

because the example doesn't match

KutuluMike

@badp I think it means, e.g. if #3 goes from 0 -> 1 between cycles, write '3'

don't read left-right, read top-down

and it's guaranteeing that it will not happen in more than 1 column in a single pass

you get 1 register and 1 memory address

you can't use the memory address directly
