@Undo ... that didn't work.

@Undo @ProgramFOX Proposing a new feature: instead of stappit, add !!/block {time} & !!/unblock. !!/block blocks Smokey for {time} minutes, and !!/unblock makes it post again.

@Undo issues had to go bye-bye for a bit.

Undo

Huh?

hichris123

Troll decided to troll our GH issues page.

Undo

... wonderful

hichris123

ikr? :P

Undo

I didn't even know you could kill issues.

hichris123

8:32 PM

It's in the settings page.

Everything should come back when it gets reenabled.

Undo

Yeah, it did.

I'm going to ask him to identify himself on SE, don't see anything inherently harmful in the first one.

hichris123

@Undo github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/issues/19

@Undo Sure, however, I asked in the Tavern who's account it was -- no response.

The only places I posted that issue were here & the Tavern.

Undo

meh, if they keep it up I'll contact GitHub and see what they can do. Killing issues isn't a long-term solution.

hichris123

I know.

Undo

I'm surprised that as owners we can't baleet issues.

hichris123

8:42 PM

We should feature-request it.

Undo

how?

There isn't a meta.GitHub is there?

hichris123

I think there's a GH repo.

Ooor... maybe not.

> For questions, bug reports, or feature requests, please email support@github.com.

Anyway, what do you think of github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/issues/16, @Undo?

Undo

we could probably do it, but it would almost certainly be easier just to make the autorunner recognize when it kills itself.

!!/stappit

I killed it, want to test something

hichris123

@Undo Only reason why I wouldn't do it that way is because then you'd have to manually restart it.

Undo

that's okay

a block would be better, but I don't plan on dying anytime soon.

9:16 PM

we need stappit in the tavern.

Anyone have perms in there?

Maybe give it to Bart..

hichris123

Nope, stappit doesn't work in the Tavern.

... also, github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/issues/16

^ thoughts, @Seth?

Seth

@hichris123 that needs fixing.

@hichris123 Looks good to me.

hichris123

Alright, I'll work on fixes to these after homework.

Undo

@Seth no, they can come in here.

stappit would kill the bot period, the command only works in here.

Seth

9:31 PM

hm.

I suppose.

>
time.sleep(secs)

Suspend execution for the given number of seconds. The argument may be a floating point number to indicate a more precise sleep time. The actual suspension time may be less than that requested because any caught signal will terminate the sleep() following execution of that signal’s catching routine. Also, the suspension time may be longer than requested by an arbitrary amount because of the scheduling of other activity in the system.

might do it right there. (maybe)

hichris123

Hmm, interesting idea. Though it would have to be on that thread...

Seth

I am such a terrible programmer :(

Oh, hiya @AnnonomusPenguin!

Annonomus Penguin

@hichris123 Hi!

Oy wat's new?

hichris123

github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/issues/16 @AnnonomusPenguin

Annonomus Penguin

Why did you lock conversation?

hichris123

'cause trolls

Annonomus Penguin

You should add a time limit to it so they can't stop it for 200000 minutes :P

hichris123

10:15 PM

Unlocked.

@AnnonomusPenguin Planning on doing that, only implemented blocking with no time so far.

@AnnonomusPenguin Any thoughts on how you could make a timer count down, then do something, but at the same time be listening for messages?

Annonomus Penguin

@hichris123 I'd just store the UNIX-like timestamp (seconds since Unix-epox or whatever its called) and then compare that to the current time and the ban length

hichris123

@AnnonomusPenguin But how? You could get the start time, compare it to the current... but wouldn't a while loop lock up the thread?

Annonomus Penguin

@hichris123 you wouldn't use a while loop :P

hichris123

... what would you use then?

Annonomus Penguin

let me draw it

FYI: github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/issues/16

hichris123

10:29 PM

@AnnonomusPenguin still here?

Annonomus Penguin

@hichris123 Not the prettiest but it works

The chart I mean

Makes sense?

hichris123

hmmm... yeah, makes sense.

Annonomus Penguin

Any issues with it?

hichris123

Instead of offloading the checking of messages to another thread, what would you think of just offloading the timer to another thread?

Annonomus Penguin

That is all one thread

That's just the call stack

I need to go. Be back in a little while

hichris123

10:32 PM

cya.

@AnnonomusPenguin How would you keep track of time, though?

This is what I have so far, btw: github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/commit/…

Annonomus Penguin

@hichris123 simple. You don't use a timer

You store the time the ban ends. If the current time > the ban end time, then the ban is over. Otherwise, it is active

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: GREY SCREEN WITH SPINNING WHEEL.HELP on apple.stackexchange.com

Annonomus Penguin

You don't realize how much you over-complicate things until you work with limited resources on a humble AVR chip that needs to do thousands of floating point operations a second (it really hurts).

Been there, done that, you don't need a timer :P

@hichris123 ^^^

docs.python.org/2/library/time.html#time.gmtime

Let me finish the code... also you should make the array of user IDs that are allowed into one string so it is ~~easy to kick Undo out~~ adaptable.

hichris123

10:51 PM

@AnnonomusPenguin Sorry to be stupid, but... how?

In other news: I've gotten two upvotes on a CW answer on the behalf of the OP. :P stackoverflow.com/questions/21580011/…

@AnnonomusPenguin good idea

Annonomus Penguin

@hichris123 I'm cloning it now

hichris123

@AnnonomusPenguin smart.

Annonomus Penguin

Pull request right now

Did you see the commit already? :P

hichris123

merged.

@AnnonomusPenguin yup, I just looked at your profile and saw '4 secs ago'. :P

Annonomus Penguin

Cool!

Oy @Doorknob

Doorknob

11:04 PM

Oy!

hichris123

@AnnonomusPenguin here's my thought: allow a custom time up to 4 hours. If that is not specified or it's greater than 4 hours, default to 15 min.

Annonomus Penguin

FYI: github.com/Annonomus-Penguin/SmokeDetector

@hichris123 4 hours? Then you can easily make a bot to do that with it hard to be noticed except with server logs.

hichris123

Oy @Doorknob.

Annonomus Penguin

Oh wait only trusted users can do that, right?

hichris123

yeah.

Annonomus Penguin

11:05 PM

Nevermind

sigh me needs coffee

hichris123

:P

Annonomus Penguin

Wow: it's been this long and this was the first commit for a Charcoal project? Wow, I need to catch up.

hichris123

yup. ;)

@AnnonomusPenguin What would I cast the string to in order to add it to gmtime()?

Annonomus Penguin

@hichris123 Do you just mean how I got the gmtime() + 900?

It returns the number of seconds (UTC time) since the Unix Epox (Jan/1/1970)

hichris123

@AnnonomusPenguin Well, I'd be taking a substring of ev to add to gmtime(). Would I just cast that substring to an int?

Annonomus Penguin

11:19 PM

Yes, it is an integer. I'm not sure about the type of integer, but it seems like that doesn't matter in python

So, if you got the string "/!! block 15" you would take the substring "15" and convert to the int 15 and add that value to gmtime() and assign that to whatever the variable is called (I can't remember)

@hichris ^

hichris123

hmm, okay.

That doesn't seem to work: ideone.com/yBtjfS.

@AnnonomusPenguin ^

Annonomus Penguin

Hmm.

hichris123

Wait, do we just want time @AnnonomusPenguin?

Annonomus Penguin

yeah

Ooh, time.time

hichris123

yeah.

Annonomus Penguin

11:26 PM

Did you just fork it?

hichris123

Hmm?

Annonomus Penguin

On Ideone?

hichris123

Oh, I just edited it directly.

Annonomus Penguin

@hichris123 which forks it

hichris123

ah.

Annonomus Penguin

11:27 PM

I saw that when I refreshed the page :)

So that works now, replace that function and try it again in the main code.

hichris123

yup, gimme a sec.

Annonomus Penguin

11:44 PM

@hichris123 It's been way more than a second! :P

hichris123

Yup, because I fail at Python.

Anyway, ideone.com/yBtjfS.

@AnnonomusPenguin ^ look good?

yup, I think that works.

That looks good
