ELLIOTTCABLE changed the topic of #elliottcable to: #ELLIOTTCABLE — “do something cool, shove it into throats, everyone thinks it's crap, then it's all amazing.” “everything else is just details.”
<Zauerkraut>
THE TA
<Zauerkraut>
IN THIS CLASS
<Zauerkraut>
BE POWER TRIPPIN'
<Zauerkraut>
-5 for using non-standard directory structure
<Zauerkraut>
I'M SORRY BITCH
<Zauerkraut>
I HAVE A BIN FOLDER
<Zauerkraut>
THAT'S STANDARD FUCKING DIRECTORY STRUCTURE. I'M NOT COMPILING MY SOURCE INTO THE SRC FOLDER
<Zauerkraut>
JUST BECAUSE YOU WROTE IDIOTIC FUCKING UNIT TESTS THAT EXPECT THE BINARY TO BE IN SRC DOESN'T MEAN THAT I GET PENALIZED FOR DOING IT RIGHT FOR FUCK'S FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I'm pseudo-AFK, by the way
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
buying tickets for my adoptive-little-sister to come visit :D
<Zauerkraut>
it's okay i'm just ranting
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
she's gonna fly in on Thursday. super-excited.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
lol Zauerkraut. what kind of tests are these?
<purr>
lol
<prophile>
tests... of faith
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
between your nick having a capital letter, and your sentences always being capitalized, your messages look suuuuuper-unbalanced
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
like, that is, from an IRC'er's viewpoint.
<cuttle>
Zauerkraut: yeah programming classes kinda beg for death a lot
<cuttle>
Zauerkraut: also is your twitter handle the same as your nick?
<Zauerkraut>
it is now
<Zauerkraut>
I have two though
<Zauerkraut>
zauerkraut is my private stuff for things I don't want employers to see (mostly ranting about politics)
<Zauerkraut>
and zaksoup is my public stuff for tweeting about code and interesting tidbits that I'd want employers to see but mostly it just gets neglected
<cuttle>
aight
<Zauerkraut>
just accepted you cuttle
<cuttle>
cool
Zauerkraut is now known as zauerkraut
<zauerkraut>
lowercase nick are you happy now ELLIOTTFTTAERIEUHFDSA
<zauerkraut>
Anyway yeah this TA is tripping balls so hard
<zauerkraut>
I had an #IFDEF DEBUG and then all my debug messages
<zauerkraut>
and that's like
<cuttle>
did your twitter name use to be ざく or ザク or some shit
<zauerkraut>
uh
<zauerkraut>
no
<cuttle>
someone else then i guess
<zauerkraut>
I have a friend who thinks he's japanese despite being the whitest kid in new jersey though
<zauerkraut>
my twitter name has always been zaksoup
<zauerkraut>
anyway this dude took off 10 points for "debug code left in"
<cuttle>
not your @name, just your bio or something
<cuttle>
oh god
<zauerkraut>
I'm like, it's not left in there, you just compile it with -D DEBUG if you want the debug version you idiot
<cuttle>
please kill your ta for me
<zauerkraut>
YEAH ffs
<zauerkraut>
anyway
<cuttle>
among my friends saying "X beg" for "X begs for death" is so common that I have to remember that it's not in most people's vocabularies
<zauerkraut>
LOL
<purr>
LOL
<zauerkraut>
So then this dude
<zauerkraut>
after that debug fiasco
<zauerkraut>
apparently is grading us based upon some unit test
<zauerkraut>
that just hardcore assumes that all binaries will be compiled in the same location as the .c files
<zauerkraut>
which is
<zauerkraut>
dumb
<cuttle>
i'll bet the ta hadn't programmed before starting their degree
<cuttle>
yknow
<cuttle>
given the apparent lack of any real world experience
<zauerkraut>
I find that a lot of the TAs are either Foreign Exchange Grad students and thus have literally no real world programming experience or undergrads getting high off of grading their peers and either way it's really frustrating
<zauerkraut>
So like, he tried to "bust" me because I'm using git instead of FTP for my files cause they have to be in our directory on the school server
<zauerkraut>
and he was like if you don't use FTP it's not standard
<zauerkraut>
I'm like Git is the industry standard for file concurrency you fucking ass
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
hi, all
<zauerkraut>
Hi bubb
<cuttle>
hi ELLIOTTCABLE
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
trying to find a reputable bank for safe-deposit-boxes here in Chicago.
<zauerkraut>
You're gonna have to go with a big-name
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
yep
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Chase, probably
<zauerkraut>
I've never found a credit-union or similar local size bank with safety deposit boxes that weren't sketchy as fuck
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
from my research here
<zauerkraut>
Ugh I have to open an account with BoA tomorrow
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
maybe if I tell them I'm depositing a piece of paper worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, they'll give me a fucking *actually* safe, deposit-box.
<zauerkraut>
What's the piece of paper?
<zauerkraut>
your bit coin wallet printed out?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
eligrey: er … what?
<eligrey>
ELLIOTTCABLE: watch the whole thing
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I did, eligrey
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
but I don't play shooters, so I don't have the context
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so what's the joke, here?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
something about the crouch control? o_O
<eligrey>
the context is that sneaky guy
<eligrey>
ELLIOTTCABLE: in counter strike there are 2 teams, counter terrorists and terrorists
<eligrey>
the guy at :34 is a counter terrorist
<eligrey>
everyone else is a terrorist
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
*everyone* else? wtf?
<eligrey>
i'm assuming his team was all killed off
<eligrey>
and he somehow sneaks past 4 different people lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE>

<ELLIOTTCABLE>
“Man, she's not worth it. She doesn't even have blue bubbles.”
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Sexual selection by messaging service?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Wonder what Darwin woulda thought of that.
<alexgordon>
what's a vigs?
<vigs>
I dunno, what's an alexgordon?
<alexgordon>
vigs: MY name is known and feared throughout the universe. Yours however is unknown to me
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: man this is tearing me up
<alexgordon>
if I could imagine a really stupid thing to do, it would be along the lines of "hey let's give 10,000 to a man on the internet for some magic beans"
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
oh my offing god
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
Bitcoin literally makes girls' panties drop
<alexgordon>
on the other hand, I pretty much know it's going to go upwards
<alexgordon>
barring some major catastrophe
<joelteon>
who's kate
<alexgordon>
text editor
<joelteon>
oh
<alexgordon>
basically: this may rank among the stupidest or most brilliant things I'll ever do
<alexgordon>
how in fuck's name did I get myself into this
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
alexgordon: so, I was going to make sure to demand photos, identification, etceteras, before entering a contractual hiring agreement with you.
<joelteon>
what are you hiring him for
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
just realized I didn't do any of that before *this*.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
joelteon: that's for me to know, and you to wonder about.
<joelteon>
ok
<joelteon>
is it ok if i dont wonder about it
<vigs>
So yeah, hi everyone I'm @sarcasticsimba on Twitter, Elliott told me about his channel so I hopped on.
* vigs
waves
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I haven't had the Members list open in ages. how big am I now?
<vigs>
Massive *smirking emoji*
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
44, hm. Not quite back to the Old Glory yet, but substantial. Whee ('=
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: photos? ha this is just a ploy to unmask my secret identity!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
you *can* send emoji to IRC, you realize that, right?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
man, everybody knows we're the same person by now, alexgordon
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
we should stop faking it.
<vigs>
ELLIOTTCABLE: Yeah I know
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: I'm actually Paul McCartney
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
er
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
shit.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
looks like my multiple personalities are getting a little unruly.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
alexgordon: YOU. GET BACK IN HERE.
<alexgordon>
I own HAARP from which I launch my chemtrail planes which are used to gas the populace so they keep believing that obama is american
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: ha I'M the one worrying about whether I'm making a huge mistake, but at least the price is moving in my favour
<alexgordon>

<alexgordon>
damn you bitcoin, y u so volatile?
<niggler>
aren't the chinese getting into it (or so the story goes)
<alexgordon>
niggler: nah not really
<alexgordon>
one small part of baidu is
<alexgordon>
bitcoin was so much easier when all the tv networks were in on it
<alexgordon>
you could predict the price easily
niggler has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.]

whaaaaat

I was just looking at bitstamp and all the numbers changed very quickly

seems you can securely generate a paper wallet by using a live CD
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I don't know if I'd trust that.
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
If the computer's *ever* been connected to a network, how do you know the bootstrapping system hasn't been compromised to methodically compromise any OS or drive?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
the *largest* category of people dangerous to your data or money (I shall dub the group “russian hackers,” but specifically, it includes anybody with insurmountable barriers to rubber-hosing: non-governmental entities, or governmental entities at too far of a geographical remove) *will* be more foiled by most of these paranoid approaches, despite
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
rubber-hosing.
<alexgordon>
ELLIOTTCABLE: nah, still vulnerable to a black bag attack
<alexgordon>
plus maybe wrench
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
how so?
<alexgordon>
most paper wallets aren't encrypt it
<alexgordon>
encrypted
<alexgordon>
just... steal it
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
they damn-well should be. two-factor and all that
<prophile>
alexgordon's is, unfortunately
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
paper-wallets are basically nothing more than three-factor authentication:
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
something-you-know, something-you-have, and who-you-are
<prophile>
on the plus side he doesn't know I have it yet
<alexgordon>
xD prophile
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
because it brings your *governmental* identification system into the picture: getting into the bank, getting the management to give you access to the box itself

<joelteon>
oh
<alexgordon>
about 3.5 billion of them
<joelteon>
gay
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
unless some day she happens into this room, in which she certainly does matter, and that's what I told all of you, and none of you will contradict that
