Is there any particular reason for using state with OAuth? Why would I care if some other site logs my users in?
user202362
lose of control
But why do I care? Why would anybody even bother to exploit it?
user315433
@bjb568 This seems relevant: security.stackexchange.com/a/81315
@redredwine That's… weird. I don't see how getting a user's access is supposed to give you access to all the things that has the user's access. Isn't that what OAuth is supposed to prevent?
I just don't see how that attack is possible.

Dawny33So, our site just hit another milestone. We are over 10 questions per day, which means we're increasing in traffic and volume. (Kudos to the mods too!) You can view the stats here. We also have very impressive other stats too. The only orange and red areas are the number of unanswered questions...

14:32
Well, the empty set does have exterior. I didn't think that through. Corrections are left as an exercise for the reader.
user202362
why is that every time someone who knows a little maths is next to you, you no longer claim to be a mathematician?
user315433
A correct version would be "... will have no boundary or exterior" => will fill up the Universe.
Clopen?
@redredwine Sounds like one of those weird sets.
^ message order was changed, TCP is broke
user202362
empty set
yah
user315433
14:45
@bjb568 Yes, if I stopped at "has no boundary", that would be precisely clopen.
I was just thinking about the boundary part. If there's no interior or exterior then there just isn't anything.
@redredwine :D I do remember that part of that video I watched about intro to higher mathematics and stuff a year ago!
user315433
The union of interior, boundary, and exterior is always the entire ambient space ("the Universe"). So if all of them were empty, we'd be in a boring universe.
Sounds like the kind of set theory used in some people I know's heads.
user315433
With the boundary empty, and assuming the Universe is connected, we are left in an ambiguous situation: their fury is either empty or fills the Universe.
I prefer the former.

@Magisch Good guy, Pekka

Ahh, so you're in the middle of your workday @Shog9
heh... My workday is... Kinda skewed and spread out.
I wish I had your amount of flexibility in my job. My workday is mandatory 8am - 4.30pm every day with no exceptions
How much coffee?
Well if I was working at stack I'd not even be sure where work begins and where leisure ends since I find myself drifting to stack for leisure every other half hour :p
@TIPS only during lunch break
we aren't allowed to grab drinks during non-lunch break
yeah, getting enough coffee before 8 would be a problem for me.

what, that isn't enough?

you're severely underestimating user indignation

@Shog9 Would its amount decrease if downvotes cost 0 rep and did not come with a notification?
It feels strangely catharthic and is a so welcome relief from coding business crap all day for a company
but seriously: most of what I do is support - answering questions, listening to feedback, trying to find areas where there's unnecessary friction
18:04
So you're the professional shoulder to cry on?
@Magisch yeah, that's how I ended up doing this. Though now strangely I find coding cathartic.
@redredwine slightly.
I guess its a "the grass is always greener on the other side" thing
You really wanna get under someone's skin, you leave a comment. That's true now and would still be true then.
@Shog9 I've had a decent amount of success with explaining my downvotes to people

@Magisch we are creatures built for contrast. Consistency, no matter how pleasant, is something we quickly acclimate to; when small irritations are the only change, they seem to fill our world. The old joke about hitting yourself in the head because it feels so good to stop is truer than we'd like to admit.

@redredwine Looks yummy

it's there if anyone wants it.
@Shog9 Yet you guys found a way to motivate otherwise highly paid and highly proficient professionals to not only give away free consultancy in the millions but also play digital janitors for free
Somehow making tasks that would ordinarily be super boring semi-interesting
user315433
For a limited time.
@Magisch folks want to do this. Remember that thing I said about the hammer...?
You sit at your job and you look at the horrible code in front of you and you see the clueless new folks struggling to make sense of it and mostly making it worse
And you think, "would that I could answer these questions in a way that would improve the caliber of new folks"
And given the opportunity, you try.
Our job here is to provide that opportunity.
@Shog9 For me its more like "I'm done with this assignment and the new one is tedious, slow, and has about 3x as much time allocated to it then I need for it, but I don't want to ask for another because it'll be somehow even more tedious. Lets see, ah yes, how about some close vote reviews"
That escalated into over 1600 close vote reviews in my 10 months here
