Five bucks say it's gonna break at least one browser they didn't intend to break, or that would handle Discourse just fine (or rather, as fine as you can handle Discourse).
That's assuming they meant to break IE9. It may just be that they are no longer testing compatibility with IE9.

they are no longer testing
When did they start?

How could you even tell?
It's been broken on IE for WindowsPhone since day one. It's never been high enough functionality for me to draw the line between "broken" and "this is normal for Discourse".

My unit tests for my interpreter/compiler no longer pass because it takes 5 hours for one of them to run.
-
Ok, seriously, how the fuck do you write it so that 5h runtime seems like it's even plausible?

Apparently he has nothing better to do than let these programs run to completion for shits and grins.
-
Well I'd still assume that it's in an infinite loop and will never finish after about a minute, given what it does.
And yes, that is being extremely generous to it.
-
I prefer to think there's a bug in the interpreter that involves recursion or something.
Ben, are you calculating fib(30) in there?

He's converting Brainfuck to BIT, I think...

Yes, I know. Given his programs go into infinite loops, obviously there's a bug.
-
Well he's trying.

XStatus: Walking backwards in a Memorial day parade to keep an eye on the robots and stop them accidentally crashing into the marching basnd in front of you using only your knowledge of your home city's roads and the marching band's drum corps to judge your distance to them is....
well it's harder than it sounds and it already sounds fairly hard.
fun though.
I had that job because i'm about the only mentor on the team that is both fast enough to intercept a wayward robot and massive enough to stop it effectively.
-
It's a compiler from Brainfuck to a language where the only types of variable are bit and address of bit and the only thing you can do to an address of a bit is dereference it or dereference it plus one.
-
Which is close enough to BF for a relatively straightforward translation. That shouldn't take 5 hours.
-
Sounds like you need to either:
- Follow the robots
- Fit yourself with a rear-view mirror
Also, robots? What sort of robots?
-
But you can't just implement the
<
operator as "decrement the pointer", you have to keep track of how many times you've used>
in memory somewhere and then start over and go one less time.

- if i followed them i would have to run farther to catch them when the driver's attention wandered and let the robot go out of transmit range. that would take time. time i might not have.
22222222222222222. it was actually kind of fun. i managed nto to fall over or hit the marching band for the whole parade. which is better than the robot drivers managed (one of them managed to drive a robot under the truck and get it stuck..... he wasn't driving after we got it out. robot was fine though. that one was tough as nails anyway)

That sounds like a line from an action movie trailer; just need sunglasses and an explosion ;)

Please tell me it was T1000's so it's ironic that they have all the time in the world..

Status: Windows 8 apps just stopped working. Completely and for absolutely no reason. Chkdsk and sfc do nothing, Windows' dedicated "Windows Store Apps troubleshooter" found a long list of errors and fixed some of them but it's still not working.
So Windows hates me and I hate it.

So apparently neither the Florence airport nor anywhere in Paris Charles de'Gaulle airport that I could find (nor anywhere I saw in Rome's, but I didn't see the gate area) has a water fountain.
Is this as ludicrously unacceptable as I think it is, or am I TRWTF here? (And no, they don't have more relaxed "you can't bring liquids" rules.)
Edit: in retrospect, I should have put this in the bad ideas thread. But whatever.

I'd not be using a water fountain at an airport anyway.

Status: not only sick like I have been since Friday but now as an added piece of shit I have to do all the chores I've been skipping the last 4 days and also get ready for going back to work tomorrow.
I just got back in from mowing the lawn and I feel like death.
So I'm relaxing and resuming my Blood Bowl campaign once again. I hate it when my cute little skaven guys get injured.
-

i don't know about explosions but the robots are primarily wooden so they'd burn nice.
T1000's
what? why would we have the likes topic on wheels in a parade?
<yes, i do know that T1000 is terminator, not /t/1000. in case any of you get the "funny" idea to flag me for whoosh. so there!

If there was free water available, they wouldn't be selling as many expensive bottled drinks.

Loaded a YouTube video and wondered why there wasn't any sound. The Windows Volume Mixer showed that Chrome was making sound, but I couldn't hear anything.
It took me a moment to realise that my headphones were plugged into my phone instead of the computer.

I haven't repaired my PC yet so I've been playing some Yuri on my old laptop. I have saves on there from 2003. Because reinstalling Windows is for wimps.

To slow the parade down?

Had to explain the difference between biannual and biennial to a manager this morning, to stop him asking for something stupid. Then he looked at me like I was the idiot...

Status: A colleague who thought the max of a
VARCHAR2
in Oracle SQL was 256 characters (and not 4000, like it actually is) made a field aCLOB
when it didn't need to be. Now I get this annoying error every time I forget that and treat it like EVERY OTHER FIELD IN THE TABLE.ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB 00932. 00000 - "inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %s"

Why? If your songbird is faulty, why wouldn't you change it for one that isn't?
-
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB
Expected nothing, got stuff?
Oh, Oracle...
-
Yes, one of its least helpful errors.

that was not the mental image that was causing the cognitive dissonance then.... but now that you mention it..... nope that just made it worse!

How? I mean it's just- oh… oh, that is twisted…
