RE: Discourse and our reaction to it
Hm, multiquote means less people will like my posts, since it's possible that only 1 of my replies will be sexy/hilarious, and people don't want to attach their heart some other shit I said in the same post.
Sorry, just trying to optimize my reputation.

RE: Should big digressions be split to a new topic?
I was in two minds, really.
The one mind was like, goddamnit Atwood this isn't your call
The other was like, this thread is kind of my baby and it's growing up strong and happy and I guess it was for the best despite our non-interference policy

RE: There's a meta question if ever I saw one
I don't see why public revision history is such a hugely important feature that turning it off can be called "scorched earth".
I think the problem of malicious edit-switcheroo is mostly imagined (I think that because I've never seen it), and the problem of unremovable information is a real one. See arantor's post. Complete post deletion does not address that. That's scorched earth.

RE: Feature suggestions for Discourse
FEATURE: likes should just show avatars without having to click "x persons liked this". The space is already used up by the pseudolink, the UI is already noisy. No harm there, I think.

What have you done?!
After being surprised that Locallunatic is part carpenter, I got to thinking that, although we at TDWTF are all bound by our IT jobs in programming or SA, there are probably a lot of other things we do and love a lot.
I know AmmoQ was a house painter for a while; and Blakeyrat has a small field in his back yard where he grows at least 1 potato.
Apart from programming and gamez0rz, I play bass guitar and draw pretty well.
What do you do?

RE: Less than 24 hours and I already created an XSS exploit for Intercourse
By the way, in Stylish, I configured a rule for TDWTF where nested blockquotes would have 90% of the parent's font size. I didn't think it would be that good, but it does and it's fantastic against quote hell: At some point the person quoted 5 levels deep is ureadable but their text isn't relevant anyway: all you may want are the most recent two or three nested quotes.
It's very low-tech and doesn't require futzing around with crazy quote features.
Have a try. See what I mean.

RE: Discourse?
I went to a thread and the page js-reloads when I hit Home? What the hell is up with that? Really breaks the feeling of speediness.
Oh god, it dynamically and constantly loads and unloads posts based on where you are in the thread. I guess that answers my earlier question of what happens when you have a long thread and you read it all. It does feel wayyyy slower than pages, even though numerically it might be faster. And I imagine your site is going to be absolutely hammered with requests single posts? If I interpret the net tab correctly, I estimate the about of http requests will be 2-5 times as much as with CS. But they won't include the tag cloud, of course. :)

RE: Discourse and our reaction to it
we are completely open to better "jump to arbitrary post" navigation,
Funny, just now I wanted to reply in a long thread that was not a reply to a specific post, so I hit End and replied with the dark blue Reply button, but then I had the problem of getting back up.
So I grabbed the scrollbar and, without letting go, swooped up in grand motions, then down and up until I had narrowed where I was, and then I let go and continued reading.
Consider this your user-interaction data of the day.

RE: Windows 7 Extended Support date announced
On the IE thing: Launch IE from the Start Screen, you get a dumbed down version with no plugins
No repro. I've been on Win8 for some time now and I've never seen this fabled Metro IE.
I would like to see and experience it at least once, but I don't know how to get to it.

RE: Windows 7 Extended Support date announced
What gets me about 8 is that I keep accidentally triggering drastic changes by moving my mouse in the wrong way.

I sometimes do accidentally drag the top pixel of the dwktop which causes some kind of... UI... but other than that *shrug*

RE: Poll: Default poll item count limit

RE: My first look at an inherited project
What we want is for novices to become competent and seasoned developers.
What we want is for novices to understand that they're novices and can't sell their programming services to an employer. We don't want them to not code, we don't want them to stop, and we don't want to make it really hard to start.Haskell is the vim of languages, so let's not go there.
Making your stack difficult to set up and your language obtuse and hard to use is unfortunately much easier than fostering a proper culture.
I liken it to art: you're arguing that pencils are too easy to use and the influx of shit artists is too great. But by and large, people who are bad know they're bad, and don't try to sell their shit. The primary difference being that it's really easy to see whether art is very good. It's very hard to determine if a program or code is very good.

RE: I'm still a grumpy cat: a final plea to Alex

RE: Non-IT WTF: Feminism WTF
If a woman picks up, and you're like "I need to speak to a man" then I think confused responses are to be expected, right? So it's not terribly sad that you have to disclaim yourself from what is clearly a strange thing if you don't know the context.
I imagine most women behave like "??? uhh... okay, whatever, hang on for a moment" and no argument arises.

RE: Discourse and our reaction to it
Because you're right, if 50 people are posting constantly, they easily generate more content than any human being could reasonably read, and
I don't think Discourse can know what's relevant, but I could be wrong.

RE: АLL F-!!1 TOPIC TITLE
This is doomed to become a stale discussion.
Until @jetcitywoman (currently our only almost-active known female member?) comes in and brings one or two womanly anecdotes and opinions with her, we're just a bunch of 20-40 year old western dudes talking about women. That makes no sense, we retards.
