Is there any good way to get a long secret from oauth2/openid/some modern widely supported kinda SSO provider?
i'm trying to use it as the signing secret to let users prove their identity without needing to exchange the actual secret
but that means that i'm sending signed data insecurely, so the key needs to be in the region of sha256, i.e. not just the puny 10 or so bytes that most oauth2 providers give you as a token
i'm seriously considering just getting multiple tokens and concatenating them
high verge
the issue with that is that oauth providers make no promises about cryptographic security of their private keys
and it would be entirely possible and indeed theoretically OK if there was some major limitation to the true randomness of those keys
lofty dirge
I think whole point is token is just enough to test
surreal otter
@hollow pollen just like a color swap?
hollow pollen
I just need to change an image color from black to ths kind of color
surreal otter
so across the spectrum? tint it moreso?
the whole image or only one color
You could desaturate then apply a hue
if you want the whole image
hollow pollen
i mean the cyan color + some kind of blue I think , but the gradient
surreal otter
from solid black to a shade?
hollow pollen
the orginal image is this , but I want to turn into similar color as above
surreal otter
and how do you want the hotspots?
hollow pollen
what do you mean?
surreal otter
See where it gets light?
You need a method to the gradient
unless you want just from darkest to lightest straight scross
hollow pollen
I just the cyan gradient . that's it
surreal otter
From white to cyan?
I'd say make layers
do a circle
white in middle, gradient out to cyan
or light cyan in the middle
I don't know all the processes, but I know it works, I cna find whatever relevant tutorials
hollow pollen
I mean from black to cyan gradiet color
surreal otter
I personalyl don't have photoshop, but I'm familiar with software
Same idea
Make a circle with ablack center and gradient to cyan
Something like that
Just cut your logo out of that as a layer
might that work?

so a while ago Mark7 and I were discussing turning files into images and eventually I decided I should try to make an image to text converter
well I am getting back to that now realizing I do have the power to change the order of bits so if anyone is wondering about my project uhm you can tell me
rancid forge
so i fixed the problem thing and now the edited image looks very close to the original
This was from the previous time that I did this. Both images were the edited versions
The reason is because I was forcing either bit 6 or 7 to be set in the previous run, so the darkest any given pixel could be became #404040 which caused a lot of colors to be brighter than they should've been. In my new version, the darkest a pixel could be has been brought all the way down to #020202, which is a lot closer to black
This is the difference between those colors

rancid forge
@rancid forge convert to text as in unicode block characters + terminal colors?
@high verge nope, just the raw data shown as ASCII
That's why my first image looked so awful. ASCII requires one of its top two bits (in a 7-bit system) to be set, and since I was previously not rearranging bits, just shifting them right once, the dark colors couldn't possibly exist.
high verge
I still don't really understand what it's doing
Using a bitdepth that makes it ASCII compatible?
rancid forge
What I'm doing is removing a bit and forcing bit 1 or 7 (zero-based index) to be set so after some bit rearrangement, it's valid ASCII. I'm using standard 24-bit bitmaps as those aren't compressed. 32-bit bitmaps (ones that support transparency) and other uncompressed bitmap versions are able to be used since the bitmap standard requires a statement on where the actual data starts.
This is what the code currently looks like. So far only the image to image conversion is supported
(for once i have a lot of comments in my code)

does being a private schooler make you more successful than public schoolers.
rough sapphire
no
round rose
It doesn't make you more successful, it can give you more opportunities to get the connections and knowledge, but it's up to you to actually do something with those opportunities
round rose
It depends on the actual school (some private schools are worse than some public schools and vice versa) and, mainly, your own actions, choices, decisions, attitude, etc
It's more about what you do than it is about what environment you were in
plucky ridge
Although your home environment can have a HUGE impact
plucky ridge
Like say you have an abusive family or you have to spend most of your time taking care of your younger siblings. Your studies will suffer for it
But that's not to say one person is smarter than the other, just that every person has a different life they have to deal with
round rose
Yeah, the environment still matters
river laurel
i seeee
round rose
I'd say people who grew up in healthy families have a higher chance of being healthy themselves than, say, people from abusive families, there's a lot of factors
But in general, most people are standing on a more or less equal ground
plucky ridge
As people yes
But I wouldn't say they're given a fair playing field
Especially poor and minority families vs richer one or white ones (at least in the US)
river laurel
oh,what do guys think about all boys/girls school vs normal schools
like the differences
plucky ridge
It really depends. I think ideally, diversity is the best way to develop. The more we can learn about others, the better off we will be as not only an individual, but as a community. But for some people, being in a more rigid or restrictive environment is beneficial to them. So it's honestly hard to really hard for me to have a strong feeling one way or the other about it
high verge
they're not a big enough thing in general for me to worry about the societal impact
like in the sense that antivax is a problem for all immunocompromised people, whereas skydiving into a shark's mouth is only an issue for one person
plucky ridge
THAT would be a hell of a trick
Also could be a fun little game

I mean this is coding server so...possibly a skydiving game into a shark's mouth

i did this track with i believe 4 instrument tracks and then just a bunch of effect automation.
the tone of the lead synth is controlled through a series of VST / effect parameters that i could just twiddle dials on and record those inputs
so i'd "play through" the track multiple times recording different automation "play throughs"

The Surface Book 2 is officially the best linux laptop in my eyes. It's crazy how well this weird hardware works now.
the article linked:
What works?
Note: Touchscreen only works in a Window Manager or Desktop Environment that has full support for it. It's recognized as a mouse click otherwise.
Touchscreen
Requires kernel with modules/drivers in link above.
Pen Input
Requires kernel with modules/drivers in link above.
Removal of keyboard base
A few seconds slower in Linux than in Windows
May cause touchscreen to stop working until reboot
May cause issues with dedicated graphics (if equipped)
Keyboard function and media keys, including volume and brightness
adjustment of the keyboard and screen backlights.
Wireless Networking
May need a tweak from #WiFi if Wireless Networking hardware
disconnects during use
Speakers / Headphones
Speakers sometimes have a hissing noise that can be fixed
Dedicated Nvidia graphics (If equipped)
Hibernation
Only when the touchscreen is disabled
ACPI, Battery stats, power saving, etc.What doesn't work?
Cameras
cameras were really one of the major hurdles?

Fair point, forgot that

i mean yes technically it is reversible, theres no loss of information - but i meant easily reversible
without brute force
like sure you can just find the number's factors and get the 2 that are 1 apart

It is a quadratic equation, one which I think will always have exactly one positive root. Would need some testing though
stuck meteor
well i just want to get an int that's why i added floored division

what a beautiful parabola 🙂
ok but you just reverse that with * 2, that's not the hard part
and yes you're right about the quadratic equation @graceful basin 🙂 didn't spot that
y = x^2 + x
ik the quadratic formula is simple, but i'm amazed python doesn't have a builtin module for it
graceful basin
The result would be a bit complicated, it is 1 or 2 possibly complex values, which seems like a pain.
sullen thorn
i think we only care about the real (?) value, not the imaginary part
wait how would it have a complex value?
graceful basin
Well, we are guaranteed to not have a complex value
But in the general case, a function for the quadratic formula would be a pain because of these results

Also, you can use integers in the args, since py3 all numeric types implicitly become up to complex depending on the complexity of the math
Well, not become
Integers just can work in place of complex numbers
sullen thorn
ik, but it's nice to abide by the typing hints 🙂
graceful basin
Use the number type hint then

I thought so

yeah pycharm can't find it 😦

PEP 3141 defines Python's numeric tower, and the stdlib module numbers implements the corresponding ABCs (Number, Complex, Real, Rational and Integral). There are some issues with these ABCs, but the built-in concrete numeric classes complex, float and int are ubiquitous (especially the latter two :-).
Rather than requiring that users write import numbers and then use numbers.Float etc., this PEP proposes a straightforward shortcut that is almost as effective: when an argument is annotated as having type float, an argument of type int is acceptable; similar, for an argument annotated as having type complex, arguments of type float or int are acceptable. This does not handle classes implementing the corresponding ABCs or the fractions.Fraction class, but we believe those use cases are exceedingly rare.```oh
eh next time, float is fine for now
it's a quadratic formula and we only care about non complex roots

most people say 'code' rather than 'codes' as well since 'codes' makes it seem like a cryptographic code

I'd never watch that in my wildest dreams.
It is for I fear seeing a bad adaption of another great book.
summer knot
The very worst adaptation of a book to a movie I have ever seen was a Japanese film called The Eel.
The original novel (called On Parole) was excellent, and they somehow turned it into this awful bad joke of a film.
soft violet
Dungeons & Dragons.
Not strictly just a book adaptation.
But...in the realm of adaptation.
summer knot
I saw D&D when it opened, to a mostly empty theater, and I amused myself when the moat caught fire by shouting out "Hey, it's the Cuyahoga!"
(You are not expected to get this)
soft violet
Gaming group in-joke?
summer knot
Ohio resident in-joke. :D
(The Cuyahoga River was so notoriously polluted in the 1970s that at one point it actually caught fire)
soft violet
Dragonball.
summer knot
I consider myself lucky for having never seen it
soft violet
See it once, then never see it again.
If we're comparing cinematic crimes, Dragonball is very slightly more watchable than D&D.

I am taking this topic to #discord-bots ; i forgot that was a thing (edited)
ocean cipher
What is anyone here's number one thing that makes for a good editor?
For me it is probably the ui
I'm one of those people that spends a few hours every other week trying to change up the color theme and such
viral panther
Tool integration above all else. Being told about issues while I'm writing code is my #1 step in debugging
Nothing makes me happier than finding bugs before even having to run a single line of code
topaz aurora
UI and startup time for me mostly
ocean cipher
Yeah startup time is also really important. Also how much time it takes to get coding, I always feel like PyCharm or VSC take a lot longer to get started than others
That's mainly because of the ide-like packages in vsc and how heavy weight py charm is, of course 😃
But, something like sublime I feel like takes less than a second; i just open sublime and I get to start where I left off
viral panther
Why is start up time so important? How often do you have to open and close your editor?
ocean cipher
That's true, it's not always so much that I am opening and closing it either, but when I do, it seems kind of annoying
viral panther
Also, how long is too long? Spacemacs takes about 3 seconds to open up on my laptop which is annoying but not a big deal
ocean cipher
but also the part I said about how long it takes to get into a new project is more important to me
Ooh, I've never heard of spacemacs
Seem's like a better version of emacs
topaz aurora
Why is start up time so important? How often do you have to open and close your editor?
@viral panther Let's just say that my patience deteriorated because of VS Code haha
ocean cipher
same here 😅
viral panther
Oh, damn. That sounds crazy
ocean cipher
I seem to always gravitate towards light weight editors
so, for now, I'll be using sublime
I also just learned about the Terminus plugin
which, to say the least, is the best thing that I ever realized existed in atom
i mean sublime
topaz aurora
Apart from that, I've gotten used to a CLI-heavy workflow since I previously only worked on Windows Terminal with GHCi on cmd and Vim on wsl
ocean cipher
On a side note, does anyone else ever get scared away from contributing to something because there are so many scripts in it?
topaz aurora
I'm still trying to find an open source project to contribute to actually, and it honestly feels like a daunting task
ocean cipher
Yeah, I actually haven't actually contributed to anything, it seems like there is so much knowledge that you'd have to already have about the source rather than just being able to go right into it?
topaz aurora
Yeah, I guess most of the motivation also comes from being fond of the project/knowing the internals of it
topaz aurora
Windows is suspiciously slow today
ocean cipher
Really?

What is anyone here's number one thing that makes for a good editor?
How it takes for it to load and whether or not it freezes for half a second while I'm typing (these are two problems with vs code btw)
sand goblet
the former isn't an issue for me since I just leave the thing running all day
the latter is a big issue though and is a problem even in "light" editors like emacs

that it puts squiggly lines under stuff that is clearly not wrong and offers no explanation as to why.

Is Fiverr a good platform for selling Discord bots?
viral panther
People sell Discord bots?
rough sapphire
Yeah
viral panther
People constantly tell me I should be making money with the things I make. Maybe it's time I try
rough sapphire
I sold my code for around $40 but I can't seem to find people anymore...
viral panther
How does it work? Do you give away all right to your code?
rough sapphire
Yeah someone from this server dmed me and asked me wherever I could code him a bot for a few bucks.
I mean
Firstly you find a buyer and discuss with him what kind of features he want and stuff, the price is also important.
You would code and test your code, then somehow sell it via Paypal.
This is risky since you can get scammed.
Even if you're not going first.
viral panther
Lol, I'm not doing anything without a contract
rough sapphire
But yes you just sell your code.
Ahaha
He gave me money first so I wasn't a bitchy scammer and gave him what he asked for.
Great guy, was a shame he banned me because I was underage (His server was 18+).
viral panther

the microsoft dev and microsoft as well:

actually microsoft has been getting quite good with open source.

haha
gentle moss
i mean what about their current behaviour makes you think they'd continue to do that?
opensource a lot of their shit?
start to integrate linux into their operating system?
poppycock
tulip palm
obviously they're gonna extend linux and make a proprietary version that will clearly be good enough to take over mainstream linux usage /s
gentle moss
microsofts biggest offense has been what they call servers
sand goblet
although to be fair, azure VMs are great
microsoft has the biggest free VMs for devops out there
they even have mac VMs
I'm surprised apple hasn't bitched at companies for doing that
tulip palm
it's probably in some license or something
sand goblet
Yeah, probably
tulip palm
i doubt they're letting it slide for free
sand goblet
it's funny though
if you actually want mac servers
do you know what they make you do?

nope, i've never had that desire funny enough

"this is testing batches of production code across ~30 different environments" or something
fully automated mac mini testing infrastructure
sand goblet
Yeah, I mean, that's neat and all
but surely it'd be more efficient with a bunch of VMs
gentle moss
i wonder what the pricing is like
depending on scale of your requirements
and how are the azure mac VM's run?
i can see why you might want to actually run it on apple hardware
sand goblet
mac minis cost about 3,000 dollars for a maxed out machine
gentle moss
lol bullshit
holy fuck
oh okay, that's like the latest model
i wonder how much of the mac mini market share is just developers in need of platform testing
tulip palm
is too much a valid answer?
gentle moss
unrelated note: this keeps popping up in my facebook feed
i refuse to watch it and instead spend my time thinking about what he's saying
tulip palm
oh no
gentle moss
clearly bad costs a lot of money, but good is cheap
tulip palm
go on
gentle moss
so if you put the bad money into the good then it'll cause a temporary state of neutral money
before turning the good money bad
that's why he put a line down the board.
good / bad money segregation
but at the same time, the bad money is worth more £'s
so perhaps the answer to wealth is to get all the bad money.
sand goblet
I'm not entirely sure how azure runs its mac VMs but they've come in very useful
I suspect they are actually running on mac minis
since you can't get a VM license without having a mac
gentle moss
and i'd be very surprised if apple let them hackintosh it

From my game developer friends, it’s not hard to develop on the switch, it’s just constrained
