(slave connection by JNLP? not sure)
Still there, just not enabled by default.
That's how all the agents are connecting anyways, since I'm pretty darn sure that I won't be able to compile and run UE4 on the version of FreeBSD FreeNAS is using...

@tsaukpaetra I stopped applying all the updates. They have one every week and I just don't need it. It works as I got it now and there's really no threat scenario where I'd care about something like that.
Fucking threadmill.My boss is pushing us on how can we design the installer so we can have weekly seamless updates. "Um, people aren't going to like that. Businesses will really not like that." That's why it needs to be seamless! (on the bright side, he is listening to my feedback on that and not just dismissing it)

@pie_flavor said in WTF Bites:
Stupid WebAssign math homework has now marked me off on an assignment because apparently, unlike every other equation interpreter out there, including ones that I can copy and paste its equations directly into and have them interpreted properly, sin(x)² means sin(x²) instead of sin²(x). Why does everything suck?
Oh, but why stop there? Let's have
ln |sin 2x|
have a different meaning thanln(|sin(2x)|)
! Because it's not like the website I'm using as a scratchpad for this (which you don't fucking have! WHY?) uses the EXACT SAME LIBRARY as you and INTERPRETS IT FUCKING CORRECTLY!God dammit, this needs to be done in an hour, which is coincidentally how much battery power I have left. I do not have time for this shit.

I don't think the addon can show you any pages before the popup appears, since it needs to be running before it can do the former. but yeah, it would be nice to have more info here. then again, addon devs can just wait for some malware company to buy their addon and just lie about it.

Does it get completely disabled unless you approve? Because it does in Chrome. Because, why would you keep running the old version until approval to update was given?

Not sure. I wonder...

@pie_flavor said in WTF Bites:

How... how does that even happen? Out of morbid curiosity, how does it interpret the first expression? My current guess is ln |(sin 2)x|, but given that it's broken at all, pretty much anything is possible.
-
@scarlet_manuka I have no clue how it interprets anything. There is neither a calculator nor a scratch-pad. All I know is that the first expression is wrong and the second expression is right (and that the appropriate deduction from my assignment score was made).
-
@pie_flavor Ah, right, that scenario. Bummer.
Not much you can do other than parenthesise all the things once you notice the bug. Which really sucks, because there are a lot more things than you initially think in any moderately complicated expression. (And of course, the fact that it's deducting marks because of its own crappiness and not due to any fault of yours. I hope there's some way you can recover those, though I expect there won't be.)

Paint.NET
I installed that. Since I installed that, my 'r's look like thin and weird like this:

Whereas at any other resolution or zoom level, they look sane.

I did a full reboot and nothing changed. I'll pretend it was paint.net for purposes of having something to be angry at, but I'm seriously confused as to what happened and seriously annoyed at how weird it makes text look.Edit: Actually, I must just not have noticed it. I installed Roboto to get the proper font for dicking around with the cow image, and apparently WTDWTF's primary font is Roboto, I've just never seen it because it wasn't installed.. Custom CSS box to the rescue and I'm back to Helvetica.
Still. Fuck those r's.

But digging deeper indicates that URI is really the superclass of URL and URN that is intended to obsolete both
I don't see it saying it is intended to obsolete either (well, it does obsolete the two separate RFCs that defined them before, but it defines them in effectively the same way). It says it is their union.
And note that, as it says, URL and URN are not disjoint. For example many XML schema identifiers are both—they must be unique and fixed, so they are URNs, but some also resolve to the actual XSDs, so they are also URLs (the w3c ones don't seem to though).
@anotherusername said in WTF Bites:
Yeah. The distinction between a URI and a URI Reference seemed like pedantic dickweedery to me, but that's what we do here I guess.
The RFC also isn't particularly clear about it. It initially explicitly defines “Absolute URI”, which sounds like there may be another kind, but then it uses just plain “URI” to mean the absolute result of expansion when defining “URI Reference” implying “URI Reference” is not one.

I know that's Firefox in the screenshot, but apparently they use the same API as established by Chrome [citation not needed]. This API's permission requirements is currently another fine example of Google's care about permission granularity.
It requires an extra
downloads.open
permission before it opens downloaded files, as well as adownloads.shelf
if the extensions wants to hide the downloads bar at the bottom of the browser window. So there's that.But there's no way to give an extension permission to read the downloads history only. If you give it the
downloads
permission, it will be able to also start and cancel downloads, as well as remove entries from history and even delete the files from your file system.At least that's how I'm reading those docs.

-
@pie_flavor That's wrong too. It's never been Helvetica. It's always been Roboto. Apparently, Roboto works by default in Chrome, but if you have it installed on your system, it'll override the one in Chrome. I uninstalled Roboto from my computer and relaunched Chrome and now everything's back to normal.
Fuckin' <whatever software is actually at fault here>.
-
@pie_flavor rants about fonts make me glad I don't notice these sort of differences. I wouldn't be that bothered if the forum defaulted to Comic Sans: as long as it's readable, go for it
-
@jaloopa That's the thing - the overridden Roboto was actually visually difficult to read. The r looks almost exactly like an i with no dot at first glance, so my brain does a double-take to figure out what character I just read.
-
@jaloopa But what about if it defaulted to Krabby Patty with a sponge-painted background?

Fuckin' <whatever software is actually at fault here>.Closer, but still not quite right. It's a web font; it does default to local Roboto, but if it's not installed then the CSS specifies to load a woff file and the font works just fine. Go to the fonts section of the inspector and you should see the
@font-face
rule that declares the font.TRWTF appears to be that your local Roboto font had a crappy-looking
r
. Maybe an old version and it was fixed in a later version.

@tsaukpaetra said in WTF Bites:
Hmmm are they using a unique Realm every time? Other than that, no idea.
Not knowledgeable enough about that stuff to know what that means. :/
Kind of Ironic that Firefox tells me the form isn't https so it's insecure.
If I recall correctly Firefox a couple versions back introduced a feature where it refuses to fill saved passwords without SSL.
The solution is setting signon.autoFillForms.http in about:config to true.
-
@obeselymorbid I'll check that, but I assume it's on https.

@topspin one weird thing is that Firefox thinks the form is insecure even if it's on a secure (https) page inside an iframe, if the iframe itself is in an insecure (http) page.
I guess it is theoretically possible that the form data could be sent from the secure page to the insecure page (
Window.postMessage
is about the only way that I can think of).But then, if we're talking about what is theoretically possible, a secure page could glom the form data and stick it in a HTTP URL in an image
src
, thus exposing it to potentially be read by a MITM attacker. This will generate a mixed content warning, but it isn't blocked by default for images.

@anotherusername Trend seems to be, a window is only as secure as the least secure resource that was loaded in that window since the last full refresh.

That, um, yes. Perfectly correct.
I didn't even look at it anymore, just went with my memory, which is apparently completely wrong. Well, it's friday. Sorry, and thanks for the suggestion.

Nope, because password fields on HTTPS pages that have loaded mixed content (images via HTTP) don't display the warning.
edit: and what's more, I can do this:
So, a HTTPS page could grab everything from the form, stuff it into a
GET
request, and fire it off via HTTP to a login page, which could then executepostMessage
back to tell the HTTPS page whether the login had succeeded or failed:Literally none of that is prevented by cross-origin security restrictions. It doesn't even generate a mixed content warning.
