01:11:14 <Sgeo> I need a good night's slep
01:12:58 <Sgeo> Keccak is not appropriate for password hashing, right?
01:13:07 <Sgeo> It's fast, and good password hashing is slow?
01:13:20 <shachaf> Not on its own.
01:13:27 <kmc> you should run your passwords through something like PBKDF2
01:13:36 <shachaf> Presumably PBKDF2-SHA3 is fine.
01:13:40 <kmc> which is a fancy way of saying "iterate the hash many times"
01:13:49 <shachaf> But so is bcrypt etc.
01:13:56 <kmc> (and probably do other things, but I don't know if those are important for uses other than deriving crypto keys)
01:13:59 <shachaf> kmc: PBKDF2 also xors the iterations together, at least.
01:13:59 <Sgeo> PBKDF2?
01:14:05 <kmc> Sgeo: yes, PBKDF2
01:14:40 <kmc> you can read about PBKDF2 in a multimedia hypertext encyclopedia using a global network of packet-switched communications
01:14:47 <kmc> food, bbl
01:20:22 <Sgeo> o.O someone submitted a hash algorithm to the contest maliciously?

13:38:13 <Arc_Koen> I'm trying to understnad the hello world program in http://esolangs.org/wiki/Platts
13:39:01 <Arc_Koen> 1) what are the two zeroes in the initial string for?
13:39:48 <Arc_Koen> 2) when B produces Hello World!, the output mode is off, so why is it printed?
13:40:24 <Arc_Koen> or are every ever produced strings printed everytime that a string is produce while the output mode is on?
13:41:28 <Arc_Koen> so if the production rules were A>   B|Hello World!   H>J   J|K   K!   for instance, the Hello World would be printed twice?
13:41:43 <Arc_Koen> (once by H>J and once by J|K)
13:42:50 -!- kinoSi has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer).
13:43:17 -!- kinoSi has joined.
13:43:45 <fizzie> For 2), isn't output mode off at first, and toggled on by the "A>" production, leaving it on for "B|Hello World!"? 
13:44:16 <Arc_Koen> ohhhhhhh right
13:44:20 <Arc_Koen> I hadn't considered that
13:46:01 <fizzie> A0B0  -[toggle output mode on]->  0B0  -[implicit empty string]>  B0  -[output "Hello World!"]->  Hello World!  -[toggle output mode off]->  Kello World!  -[halt], I guess.
13:46:26 <fizzie> Whoops, without forgetting the latter 0.
13:46:43 <fizzie> Unless they mean something else, I'unno.
13:49:04 <fizzie> Or, hm, right; if it's a 2-tag system, those 0s get deleted too.

14:05:27 <Arc_Koen> nah, I don't think it's string-rewriting
14:05:44 <Arc_Koen> I think A produces empty string and toggle output mode on
14:05:51 <Arc_Koen> 0 produces empty string
14:06:02 <Arc_Koen> B produces Hello World!, which is printed
14:06:20 <Arc_Koen> oh hum and then I don't know if it's 0's turn or H's turn
14:06:34 <fizzie> Arc_Koen: It's a 2-tag system, it says so right up there.
14:06:41 <Arc_Koen> Any symbols not explicitly assigned production rules in the program listing are implicitly assigned a production of the empty string.
14:07:08 <fizzie> See http://esolangs.org/wiki/Tag_system -- they always delete m (in this case, 2) symbols from the left, and append the production to the right.
14:07:12 <Arc_Koen> hmmmm ok

18:58:02 <fizzie> An ISO 9001 bottle of beer is quality-managed.
18:58:30 <kmc> http://www.savingadvice.com/images/blog/generic-beer.jpg
18:59:19 <olsner> An ISO 8601 bottle of beer has a standardised date format.
18:59:36 <kmc> an ISO 3103 bottle of beer is actually tea
18:59:50 <fizzie> I like how the image accompanying ISO 9000#Contents of ISO 9001 is "ISO 9001 certification of a fish wholesaler in Tsukiji" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/ISO_9001_in_Tsukiji.jpg/609px-ISO_9001_in_Tsukiji.jpg
18:59:53 <itidus21> which ISO describes the ISO?
18:59:56 <fizzie> It's so relevant.
19:00:07 <fizzie> ISO is also a demogroup.

19:05:45 <fizzie> With that sort of a name, I'm sure it's flying off the shelves.

19:08:01 <FreeFull> What is patulin
19:08:18 <FreeFull> Oh, it's a toxin produced by moulds

21:58:58 <itidus21> is wolfram a unit?
21:59:42 <oerjan> i don't think so, it's another name for the element tungsten
21:59:51 <itidus21> (no.. and it will only be a unit for anything over my dead body)
22:00:08 <itidus21> lol
22:01:05 <olsner> some say Wolfram is the unit of ego
22:01:09 <itidus21> lol lol
22:01:31 <olsner> > During the dinner discussion leading up to this definition the foreword to one of the Mathematica books was mentioned, where Stephen Wolfram (in third person) wrote "Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica and is widely regarded as the most important innovator in scientific and technical computing today." In honour of this self-assessment I suggest we call the unit of ego the Wolfram.
22:01:32 <lambdabot>   <no location info>: parse error on input `of'
22:02:15 <itidus21> in theory ego should be measurable right?
22:02:23 <Phantom_Hoover> it i
22:02:25 <Phantom_Hoover> *it is
22:02:35 <Phantom_Hoover> the wolfram is a rigorous system of ego
22:03:12 <itidus21> i guess it needs to be related to other things before it becomes useful
22:03:25 <olsner> that quote was from the first hit, the second hit was http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=size+of+stephen+wolfram%27s+ego
22:03:38 -!- copumpkin has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
22:05:42 <oerjan> IT DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION.  USELESS CRAP.
22:05:47 <olsner> indeed
22:06:30 <olsner> it should say 1 Wolfram, but I suppose that kind of self-deprecating humor is incompatible with his ego
22:07:29 <oerjan> do they actually have these things in america http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/121002.html
22:07:58 <itidus21> lmao @ "http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=size+of+stephen+wolfram%27s+ego"
22:08:14 <itidus21> that is a funny url
22:09:05 <oerjan> ...i just realized what to call the unit of obviousness, here.
22:09:21 <olsner> oerjan: what's that?
22:09:33 <oerjan> olsner: it starts with i and ends with s
22:09:50 <olsner> is it obvious?
22:10:01 <oerjan> no, obvious doesn't start with i.
22:10:08 <olsner> obviously
22:11:10 <itidus21> i get it :D
22:11:31 <oerjan> i guess it was sort of obvious.
22:12:13 <oerjan> <olsner> but that starts with s!
22:12:20 <itidus21> i wonder if enough people used that query on wolfram whether it would show up in the wolfram offices
22:13:02 <olsner> it is conceivable that at least one of the quotes about units of ego have been forwarded
22:13:04 <oerjan> in the wolfram offices, wolfram's ego is the elephant in the room
22:15:09 <olsner> in the wolfram offices, it takes physical form and walks around in the shape of an elephant
22:15:58 <itidus21> stephen+ego Development of this topic is under investigation...
22:15:59 <barts> no
22:16:04 <itidus21> i'm.. not sure what that means
22:16:05 <barts> wolfram's ego is the office
22:16:23 <barts> if you're working for wolfram, you enter his ego every day from 9 til 5.
22:16:59 <olsner> it's like that star trek episode where they think there's an entity helping a starbase, but it turns out the entity *is* the starbase
22:17:08 <oerjan> olsner: i think you ruined the joke. :(
22:17:18 <olsner> maybe
22:17:24 <olsner> what was the joke?
22:17:42 <barts> olsner: which episode was that
22:17:49 <olsner> barts: the first one
22:17:52 <barts> the first tng one?
22:17:52 <oerjan> a pun on "elephant in the room" and the size of wolfram's ego
22:17:54 <quintopia> do i know barts?
22:18:10 <barts> no man, they thought the entity was killing the base
22:18:28 <barts> but it was helping other entities of its kind which were the base
22:18:34 <barts> or something like that
22:18:45 <olsner> there were two entities
22:18:48 <barts> yeah
22:18:52 <olsner> and also a colony
22:18:57 <quintopia> farpoint?
22:19:01 <barts> yea
22:21:12 <olsner> there are probably other episodes with similar plots as well

22:27:55 <oerjan> > "money" > "math"
22:27:56 <lambdabot>   True
22:28:17 <itidus21> apparently wolfram's new kind of science recommends mathematica.. and someone is annoyed by it
22:28:21 <oerjan> SO IT'S SETTLED
22:29:53 <itidus21> i think.. maybe he should see a psychologist

22:32:04 <itidus21> when i was young i had a remote control car with a kind of bridge it could lower under itself
22:32:49 <itidus21> i forget the idea
22:33:00 <oerjan> quintopia: i don't quite see the relevance
22:33:26 <itidus21> oerjan: to place over those traffic bumps from the linked comic
22:33:50 <oerjan> itidus21: ok, but that doesn't in any way detract from the bumps' insanity
22:33:57 <fizzie> I had some of those flipping cars.
22:34:51 <fizzie> There's a spring-loaded lever kind of thing that activates after a bit of travel, and makes the car jump and flip over and sometimes even land the right way up.
22:35:12 <fizzie> Or possibly snap on your fingers when arming, or some other such thing.
22:35:38 <oerjan> i guess the point is americans are so crazy that you have to use these crazy things to prevent them from driving against one-way roads.

22:38:22 <fizzie> oerjan: Aren't those things parking-lot-entrance related more than just generic one-way-street related? Not that I *know* anything.
22:41:36 <fizzie> oerjan: They installed one of those "giant metal pole rises up from the street" traffic control devices at the ends of a mostly-pedestrian street (vehicles that need access get a remote to lower it, and it auto-lowers if trying to exit the street); a day later it rose up when a taxi was right over it.
22:42:00 <fizzie> I think they said it was some kind of a set-up bug that they fixed.

23:13:29 <Phantom_Hoover> as it stands he spends too much time dragging down the discussion

23:15:47 -!- monqy has joined.
23:15:55 <kmc> the self deprecation doesn't help
23:16:06 <kmc> it's one thing to occasionally overstep your knowledge and admit that you are doing so

23:16:36 -!- Jafet has joined.
23:16:53 <kmc> it's another thing to say completely wrong worthless things all the time, with the stated knowledge that they are completely wrong
23:16:54 <FreeFull> I find that if I'm doing badly at a game, and say how much I suck, I start doing better
23:17:31 <kmc> that basically amounts to admitting "i like the sound of my own voice and i don't care what you get out of it"
23:18:22 <Arc_Koen> it's not that I don't care
23:18:35 <Arc_Koen> but that sound is so nice and pleasant!
23:25:58 <Arc_Koen> oerjan: if you had the restriction "for all loops, the current cell must be the same at the beginning of every iteration of that loop" to brainfuck, does it change tcness?
23:26:19 <Arc_Koen> you told me it didn't, for 3-cell brainfuck, but do the proofs for the other forms of brainfuck still hold?
23:28:22 <fizzie> Arc_Koen: For bounded-cell-size unbounded-tape brainfuck, it vaguely sounds like that'd limit the amount of accessible memory to something that depends on the amount of >s in the program.
23:28:43 <Arc_Koen> oh, of course
