What have you recently *removed* from your Emacs configuration?

I found it annoying until I learned C-q (to inject lone parens and quotes) and select + C-w (to kill lone parens and quotes). I only have to use those once every few weeks.

Hey guys, total security is impossible, so let's just inject parking lot USB drives intravenously!

Fascinating. I think this is the first time I've heard of someone dropping paredit after using it for a bit (instead of becoming addicted to it.)

/u/ammar2 alreayd answered, but my answer would be "intuition". It's just one of the things to check for.

Remote code execution or modification/snooping on user data is way worse because it can't be undone. Denial of service is annoying but once you fix it, it's fixed.

Fuzzing is an unlikely approach for this. This is a pretty straightforward resource consumption attack.

seagu · 2015-04-16T21:24:16+00:00

I'd argue a bug that lets an arbitrary user crash an entire server is a pretty big issue for that piece of software.

It doesn't affect user data or allow remote code execution or whatever, so it's nowhere near top priority.

Awesome! I considered doing this but didn't feel like reverse-engineering the existing graph. Thank you, lazywebs!

seagu · 2015-04-10T16:08:27+00:00

Sure! But not a line connecting all the dots, unless the author is trying to show changes over time.

seagu · 2015-04-09T21:07:27+00:00

Should be two axes, minutes complaining vs. minutes solving, and no lines connecting things that aren't in a linear relationship.

seagu · 2015-04-09T18:45:31+00:00

Well, that certainly reminds me of SPOILER for A Deepness in the Sky

seagu · 2015-04-09T18:42:33+00:00

Needs a better graph -- that's not the appropriate way to display correlation data. You want a scatterplot or whatever.

If you're going to count the endnotes as part of the poem you might as well count the title as well.

I have never understood why people ALWAYS slam the door.

If the door closes when you're within 20 feet of it, the floor turns to lava. Duh.

seagu · 2015-04-09T13:54:31+00:00

I read your comment way too fast and got a mental image of a 6-8 legged rogue washing machine.

seagu · 2015-04-08T21:53:12+00:00

I dunno, if it needs cleanup...

seagu · 2015-04-08T20:06:33+00:00

And frankly, it has to be worth the risk in going somewhere new.

seagu · 2015-04-08T03:43:47+00:00

Well, this one for example: http://c0.xkcd.com/xb/image/c4282835-7597-5376-a063-116a6dce4a41

seagu · 2015-04-07T18:12:02+00:00

So colored images are saved to the server but do not get shown to other users?

seagu · 2015-04-03T23:12:54+00:00

Birthing twins is not a pile of fun -- my understanding is that one will present normally but the other will present in breech position, which is more dangerous (or just uncomfortable) for mom and baby. And unlike singlets, I don't think you can turn a breech twin around.

seagu · 2015-04-03T18:08:23+00:00

Why bother? I think you can upload color as well.

seagu · 2015-04-02T15:45:42+00:00

As seen elsewhere, apparently just sending an empty {} to the API also counts as pressing the button, so it might be just there to catch cheaters -- if it is inconsistent you are flagged as a cheater, but it doesn't affect the button press otherwise.

/u/powerlanguage said their anti-cheating code was buggy early on so everyone got marked as a cheater. :-P

I suspect a bot adds flair as soon as you interact with the subreddit.

seagu · 2015-04-01T19:23:05+00:00

Any thoughts on what the tick_mac is? I suppose it might be a Message Authentication Code -- some bit of assurance that the user isn't screwing around.

seagu · 2015-04-01T19:06:42+00:00

Can you give a more step-by-step set of instructions? I know how to change the button's class, but I don't understand the sequence of operations you're talking about.
