04:06 <PinkieShy> and Ibuypower told me.. If the machine breaks during shipping they'll blame it all on me and charge me to replace the parts.

04:06 <DashedRainbows> dead gpu perhaps

04:07 <DashedRainbows> shipping, ugh

04:07 <PinkieShy> No don't htink so on GPU

04:08 <PinkieShy> It it was GPU the system would still turn on but no display.

04:08 <PinkieShy> Motherboard more likely has a short..

04:08 <DashedRainbows> ah I thought it did turn on, my bad

04:11 <PinkieShy> They did leave out a Standoff screw.. I mean if they do it on the new system.. then i mean.. Okay i got a spare screw but yea.. still stupid..

05:28 <DashedRainbows> I'm too biased to say

05:38 <PinkieShy> Now.. back in the day.. Papa Johns pizza..

05:38 <PinkieShy> They must add sugar to it or something..

05:38 <PinkieShy> I could probably eat a whole pizza or two in a sitting..

05:38 <PinkieShy> But they are to expensive..

05:39 <DashedRainbows> Not me anymore

05:39 <PinkieShy> First time i had little ceasars.. I ate a whole pizza.. XD

05:39 <DashedRainbows> ~4 slices

05:40 <PinkieShy> I'll say this much

05:40 <PinkieShy> It made me not eat to much pizza now..

05:41 <PinkieShy> I was eating maybe twice a month.. 2 medium pizzas..

05:41 <PinkieShy> all to myself in a day or two.

05:41 <PinkieShy> Last year it made me have to use the bathroom.. Probably 30 times in a day.. >_>

05:41 <PinkieShy> maybe more..

05:41 <DashedRainbows> That's... Not good

05:42 <DashedRainbows> I want pizza now

05:42 <DashedRainbows> Or even some pasta with Alfredo

07:42 <Schism> indestructible*

07:42 * Ali flails at Schism as she prefers Grixis right now

07:43 * Ali Bolas's all over Schism

07:43 <Schism> RBU?  I guess I can see that... >>;

07:44 <Schism> Though red and black unicorns are so gauche.

07:44 <Schism> They're hardly cute at all!

07:46 <Ali> well right now there's two decent Bolas's out

07:46 <Ali> The creature Bolas that flips to a PW, and the PW Bolas from War of the Spark

07:47 * Schism refreshes his memory on the WOTS one. "Oh, yeah. That's a lot of exile."

07:48 <Ali> And he has the abilities of all PWs in play Schism

07:48 <Schism> Oh right, wrong type.  I was looking at the 4UBR, instead of the UBBBR.

07:49 <Schism> Gods, it's been ages.  Can you have more than one PW on the field at once?

07:53 <Schism> Ah, I see no.  And most 'unique' plainswalkers are now classified as such.

07:56 <Ali> Schism, how it works now

07:56 <Ali> Is each player can own a copy of the same name planeswalker

07:56 <Ali> But you can have two Bolas out as long as they don't share the same whole name

07:56 <Ali> So you can have the M19 Bolas and the War Bolas out at the same time.

07:56 * Schism nods, "Those creatures share a type, but not the same name."

07:57 <Schism> I've been reading the Oracle rulings thereof.

07:58 <Ali> Right, so what's also funny

07:58 <Ali> Is I can have M19 creature Bolas, M19 PW Bolas, and War Bolas out all at the same time

07:58 <Schism> Something something multiversal time travel.  X3

08:00 <Schism> "It's not really time travel.  You're traversing different weaves, and sometimes your thread goes from warp to woof without interstitual... none of this metaphor makes any sense to you, does it?" "Nope." "Nada." "...Woof?"

18:48 <Cepheid> They legitimately could not have timed this any better.

18:49 <Cepheid> See, all morning, there was work being done on the windows of our next door neighbours.  Quite loud, lots of hammering, etc.

19:29 <LibrarianofHope> thats was awfull

19:29 <LibrarianofHope> 2 years

19:34 <Cepheid> Oh gods.

19:35 <Cepheid> In our case, the only reason the window-work was a pain is that I'm in what's called a townhouse.

19:35 <Cepheid> It's a combined number of housing units in one building.

19:35 <Cepheid> So work being done at the far end of the building can be felt here, for example.

19:37 <LibrarianofHope> there no gap on those it seems

19:37 <LibrarianofHope> or so says wikipedia

19:37 <Cepheid> More or less.

19:38 <Cepheid> It's one long building.

19:38 <Cepheid> But that said, I've never had construction work done immediately next door.

19:38 <Cepheid> Closest thus far has been the retirement home over at Innes and Page.

19:38 <Cepheid> And the housing along Page, including attempts to rebuild The House.

19:40 <LibrarianofHope> let me tell you a nice highlight about that

19:40 <LibrarianofHope> at the very start they demolished the house next door

19:40 <LibrarianofHope> we had a sort of common wall that blocked access from each other

19:41 <LibrarianofHope> they brought it down and the laborers, famously prones to stealing in thos city, had fulll acess

19:41 <LibrarianofHope> we had to have people as lookouts to keep them out, and my akitas helped too

19:42 <LibrarianofHope> by midday that day we had a full razor fence installed, but it was a major pain

19:43 <Cepheid> I'd love to say that the situation would be different here, but thanks to one TV show, I do not trust builders and contractors.

19:44 <LibrarianofHope> here they are openly thiefs as a group.

19:44 <LibrarianofHope> no mincing it.

19:46 <LibrarianofHope> my house is a bunker, huge metal door with 3 locks, and bolts,  iron gates everywhere, razor wire around the edges and lots of extra locks

19:46 <Cepheid> Here, it's actually a bit more insidious.  Many contractors get a contract with customers, do some of the work, fail to pay the people they hire to work for them, then run off with the money, or continually demand more money.  If you fail to pay them, they put a lean on your house, which hurts you as an individual in terms of credit, etc, etc.

19:46 <Cepheid> Try to file a lawsuit, you'll lose, because the argument is that they did some of the work.

19:47 <Cepheid> If the other person ran off, they usually close down their business and re-open under a new name, indemnifying them from lawsuits as well.

19:52 * Cepheid wanders off to take a shower.

20:03 *** Joins: PinkieShy (coolm@Pony-ck81je.67-212-45-net.sccoast.net)

20:04 * DashedRainbows licks PinkieShy til he's dripping

20:09 * PinkieShy hugs DashedRainbows

20:10 <PinkieShy> Fedex got the PC earlier.. now begins me worrying about it getting to Cali alright with no more damage..

20:10 <Lumindia> https://www.humblebundle.com/store/guacamelee-super-turbo-championship-edition

20:10 <PinkieShy> and then next month.. I get it back and hopefully no more issues.

20:13 * Starlight_Glimmer sits on Lumindia

20:14 <Starlight_Glimmer> I was thinking about playing Bioshock Infinite again

20:14 * Lumindia is sat on by GlimGlam

20:14 <Lumindia> o 3o

20:31 <Cepheid> Hum.

20:33 <Schism> Cepheid: Hmm, Guacamelee is a Metroidvania... perhaps that might be a good choice to play.

20:33 <Schism> And thanks for the link, Lumindia.  o3o;

20:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, I was thinking that.

20:36 <Lumindia> and yeah, it's free.

20:36 <Cepheid> I grabbed it.

20:36 <Lumindia> ay

20:37 <Cepheid> https://github.com/GtkSharp/GtkSharp/blob/develop/Source/Libs/Shared/GLibrary.cs Lines 16 through 25 piss me off.

20:38 <Cepheid> To better understand the issue:  Those are hardcoded filenames to DLLs and shared libraries loaded by GtkSharp during execution.

20:38 <Cepheid> Why is this a problem?

20:38 <Cepheid> Because the default configuration for compiling from source, under Windows, at least, does not append the "0-0" to the filename.

20:39 <Cepheid> It's just "***-2.dll"

20:39 <Cepheid> So when I try to run any application built against GtkSharp under Windows, with my from-source GTK install, it won't work.

20:39 <Cepheid> Because it can't find the requisite files. :D

20:39 <Cepheid> Even though I have the requisite files.

20:41 <Cepheid> The world needs a new system to resolve this.

20:41 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, while I can design and implement this system, it'd be a waste of time.

20:44 <Cepheid> Also, we have enough software problems as is.

20:46 <Cepheid> The only reasonable, working solution is to either package all the libraries the executable was built against along with the executable, or to statically link everything into the executable.  But that kinda defeats a lot of things that have been implemented over the decades to improve memory usage and such.

20:58 *** Quits: OctaveSymphony (OctaveSymph@Octave.fluffy.pegasi.mare) (Quit: Woopsie)

21:00 <Cepheid> I have a grand, stupid idea to solve the problem.

21:00 <Cepheid> It'll never work.  It'll never get adopted.

21:06 <Cepheid> Basically, a server that idles on machines.  It's platform-agnostic, outside of needing an IPC method.  When libraries are installed, via whatever mechanism, they register themselves with the library, specifying three things:  Library name, API version, and path to the library.  When a program wants to dynamically load a library, they open an IPC channel to the server, and request a library, specifying an API version(including

21:06 <Cepheid> whether or not it's a minimum, explicit, or maximum version), and then get back an OS-specific path to the file, if one exists.

21:06 <Cepheid> Er, register themselves with the server*

21:08 <Cepheid> I am heavily tempted to implement this as a proof-of-concept.

21:08 <Cepheid> Because worst-case scenario, it's rejected.  Best case scenario, it works, it's used, either as a long-term solution, or a shim, short-term solution until a better one can be found.

21:09 <Schism> It... hrm.  Seems like if the implementation's done wrong, or even right, it might count as a potential security flaw?

21:10 <Cepheid> Indeed.

21:10 <Cepheid> That's the problem.

21:10 <Cepheid> Security, among other things.

21:10 <Cepheid> But there's no working long-term solution to this DLL hell that we've created.

21:10 <Cepheid> There's no standard on naming conventions across platforms for libraries.  There's no standard for location of libraries, executables, or anything across platforms.

21:10 <Schism> Heh.  To security techs, 'convenience' is a four-letter word.

21:11 <Cepheid> And what standards exist are being outright ignored anyways.

21:11 <Schism> You could create a new one!  ...(now there are 13 competing standards)

21:11 <Cepheid> The most recent change to the UNIX filesystem standard, that is still being worked on by distros, is the merge of /bin, /sbin, and other similar folders, with /usr/bin

21:11 <Cepheid> Which itself is causing hell now.

21:12 <Schism> It kinda makes sense to consolidate those, certainly, especially under /usr, but yyyyyup.

21:12 <Cepheid> Because /bin, /sbin and the like are now symbolic links, instead of folders with their respective, expected files.  And if you have /bin, /sbin and /usr/bin in the same path..

21:12 <Cepheid> Some programs just outright break.

21:12 <Cepheid> Normally when you do this merge, you remove /bin and /sbin from the PATH environment variable.

21:12 <Cepheid> But hey, hey, guess what?

21:12 <Schism> Not everything does that.

21:13 <Cepheid> Some programs, upon starting up, change the PATH environment variable.

21:13 <Cepheid> And guess what they do to it?

21:13 <Schism> ... ow.

21:13 <Cepheid> They add /bin, /sbin to the PATH environment variable because THEY'RE MISSING! :D

21:13 <Cepheid> I had this problem recently.

21:13 <Cepheid> Turns out the display manager I was using was adding those to the PATH environment variable upon loading.

21:14 <Cepheid> So before I got to the GUI, it was fine.

21:14 <Cepheid> After I got into a GUI, it'd be busted as hell.

21:14 <Cepheid> And guess what?  This hasn't been fixed yet.

21:14 <Cepheid> Because the community is split on the whole merge thing to begin with.

21:14 <Cepheid> Some don't want to conform to the idea.

21:14 * Cepheid drinks some tea to calm down.

21:15 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, under Windows, the mess is kind of worse for libraries and such.

21:15 <Cepheid> There's no standard designed for where to place libraries.

21:16 <Cepheid> As a result, you need some sort of non-standard configuration file for Windows to find packages.

21:17 <Cepheid> Currently, my configuration files look in a path defined as TOOLS_ROOT, wherein the directory structure within the directory specified by that variable is identical to the Linux structure.

21:17 <Cepheid> Which, thus far, has worked for me.

21:19 <PinkieShy> You know.. When support for Windows 7 comes, It'll be like windows xp.. People continuing to use it for years and years to come regardless.

21:19 <PinkieShy> Heathcare providers i've seen still using windows xp.. lol

21:20 <Cepheid> But then you get stupid ******** like GtkSharp where people decide that using a language-based dynamic library loader is the better choice, and then hardcode filenames into the application thus BREAKING THE BLOODY THING.

21:20 <Cepheid> Which, by the way, is a huge security risk in itself.

21:20 <Cepheid> So I mean, damned if you use my above idea, damned if you don't.

21:21 <Schism> Noooo, surely hardcoding such things couldn't possibly go wrong.

21:21 <Cepheid> I could throw in any DLL with the same name in the executable's directory, and they'll get loaded instead of the intended DLLs.

21:21 <Cepheid> And if those DLLs are maliciously crafted to supply the requisite functionality, but do some FUN stuff..

21:22 <Cepheid> And in the end, it matters not anyways.

21:22 <Cepheid> If a malicious person is in place to change system files, they can do that anyways and every application will then be subject to the exploit.

21:23 <Schism> Pretty much.

21:23 <Cepheid> My above system could potentially be hardened against maliciousness via security certificate usage, but there's nothing to stop a malicious individual from gaining access to the root account and making changes to the database directly, or just, ye know, replacing files.

21:24 <Schism> S'why kernels on any public distro are very, very thoroughly vetted against potential changes.  Makes them slow to respond to certain things, but... yeah.

21:24 <Schism> Yeeesgh.  Yeah.

21:24 <Cepheid> But everything's a cluster****.

21:25 <Cepheid> People only think of one OS, or if they think of multiple OSes, they implement the concept poorly that it just doesn't work.

21:25 <LibrarianofHope> we seem to have a pollution crisis

21:25 <LibrarianofHope> i cant even walk the dogs owo

21:25 <Cepheid> We have all sorts of crises.

21:30 <Schism> Oh, and the follow-up to that page: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130805

21:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, she starts with 5 debuffs instead of 4 on hard.

21:35 <Cepheid> It's Mortality, No Badges, Amulet Drain, No Attacks, and Instant Death.

21:36 <Schism> Ah yeah, ID.  Yeesh.

21:38 <Cepheid> Fun note, after the first "cycle" of her pattern, she gains Defense Down.

21:38 <Cepheid> So she takes a lot more damage.

21:38 <Schism> I think I remember that bit.

21:39 <Cepheid> But yeah, because of the 5 effects at the start, you *HAVE* to take a hit.

21:39 <Cepheid> I take the No Badges, obviously. o3o

21:51 <Cepheid> I'm kinda curious.

21:51 <Cepheid> How the hell did I take no damage from the No Badge field the last time?

21:51 <Cepheid> I took 0 damage, and wasn't inflicted with the debuff.
