So now that I think about it it needs to do a few more things:NTP has two components - one that synchronizes the clock (which it does while measuring the latency between itself and the server it's synchronizing with), and another that does drift correction (the client measures how fast the local clock desyncs with the remote one, and provides corrections for this, allowing it to make less requests over the network). Clock adjustment is also not done by changing the time directly (except maybe at startup, and only if the clock is too badly out-of-sync), but by speeding up or slowing down the system clock until it gets in sync. This way you don't get jumps, and the clock never goes backwards.
That might be due to the fact that Discourse unloads posts higher up in the stream as soons as they are far away enough from the current viewport. AFAIK, Discourse is the only software that does that.
I know, and I commented on that elsewhere.@dkf said:
I thought that was turned off for desktop users now (on the assumption that they've got the memory to handle large documents).
Learning new software is not fun?
Technically I am struggling to figure out how this is feasible without poisoning the user database. I guess you would need to introduce a concept of user types and have special styling with no uniqueness requirements on usernames for anon.
Look at how eg. Techdirt does it. Allows anonymous comments, lets you enter an e-mail when you comment anonymously, if you later register with that same e-mail, it links those comments with your account.
Next time send it to me and I'll upload it for you.
Locking my entire bank account on the basis of the transaction looks suspicious. Putting through a couple of hundred pounds to buy event tickets, that's fine. Putting through a few hundred pounds for conference tickets, no problem. Putting through nearly £2k the other day to purchase some software, absolutely fine. All sorts of oddments of payments to Steam via PayPal during the sale in a pattern that looks suspiciously random? No problems! But £25 to Royal Mail? FRAUDULENT!
I'm always surprised what triggers the anti-fraud checking on my card (though in my case, they call me instead of locking it instantly). Spend the equivalent of 170€ in a random Russian online shop? Fine. Buy 300€ of software from a random Irish webstore? Fine. Spend $90 in some US online shop? Fine. Spend the equivalent of 23€ in another Russian online shop to buy software? Also fine. Renew some program through SWREG for $19, just like every year for the past 3 years? Fraud! Buy some goods from local Bauhaus for 35€ (just like I do at least once a month)? Fraud!
I only know the cool 3D-style clippy from later Office versions.
Happens even if I disable the NVIDIA High Definition Audio controller in Device Manager (it gets reenabled after a while). Might be because I often connect to the computer with Remote Desktop, which changes the available audio devices.
Well it wouldn't happen in the first place if people didn't start equating a company and a type of product in the first place.
Is it an image, or are you running an actual VM with this?

I've seen so many 1k+ post topics on so many forums
I'm a member of a forum that has several topics with over 10000 posts. Nobody bats an eye at 1000-post topics there.
Look for the topic progress bar in the bottom right of each topic:
That doesn't work in high contrast mode, and I can't click on it, or drag it around to quickly move to a specific part of the topic either.
This used to be my home server:
(note: that's a single machine, just some disks are off-loaded to a second chassis with their own power supply)
Then I bought a SuperMicro chassis and got an old rack one day, and now I instead have this:
(originally I had a desktop motherboard in there, but I switched that with a SuperMicro server board a few years ago)
It's primarily for storage and development. I've got several VMs running on there, and since it's in the basement, it's noise doesn't bother anybody.
This just in: Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 pro is horseshit.
Hyper-V is pretty useless for development. Despite all of it's problems, VirtualBox works much better (of course, VMWare Workstation is by far the best).
Did you know you can press ctrl+c on an error dialog in Windows to copy it?
Hey kids, did you also know that you can press ? on many popular websites to get a list of common keyboard shortcuts?Never heard of that before Discourse.
BUG: clicking Quote text randomly inserts it at the beginning of edit dialog instead of where the cursor is.
Yup, started getting e-mail again.
Is there a list of the IP ranges mandrill uses, so that I can whitelist it? I'm seeing some wildly different IPs, and since each individual message has a unique sender, the policy service isn't automatically whitelisting any of them.
@tsaukpaetra said in Suddenly system lost VT-x support:
Only the CPU would be virtualized
This is all that really needs to be virtualized - you can pass all other hardware directly to the VM. AFAIK, Cheat Engine can be used in such mode.
We bought 25 Intel 535s a few years ago to put in machines at work - so far 4 have died; according to the service guy at our supplier, they see quite a few Intels returned for RMA.
Other than that, I have a bunch of Crucial SATA SSDs in computers, a lot of WD Black NVMe, and Green and Blue SATA and some Samsung 960 Evo NVMe, and the only one of these that died was a Crucial BX500 (which admittedly is by far the cheapest SSD available). Also some Kingston SATA and NVMe drives, but not enough to draw any conclusions.
I noticed another annoyance with Discourse: I almost always follow forums through the e-mails they send out, and only click the link to go to the topic when I find something interesting to comment on. When I do that, I often scroll around to read the neighbouring messages before actually replying.
On other forums, when I want to get back to the message where I re-entered the thread, I just need to click the address bar and press Enter (or click the Back button a few times if I wandered to other pages), but this obviously doesn't work with Discourse, because it keeps changing the URL (what is the point of this anyway? If I want to link to a particular message, there are better ways of getting the link).
I stopped getting any notifications from the forum sometime today, so I went to investigate what's happening.

Apparently Mandrill uses a unique sender address for each and every e-mail it sends, so instead of getting automatically whitelisted months ago, it's messages kept hitting the greylist ... at least until it managed to have 500 messages in the greylist queue, at which point policyd rightfully blacklisted it's entire range instead.
I don't understand this freaking out, scrollbar is even more broken on traditional forums, If I want to scroll to the bottom of a topic it only allows me to scroll to the end of page 1.
Sorry if this is offensive, but are you retarded if this is the best counter-argument you can come up with? Scrollbar scrolls the currently displayed view, which on a traditional forum consists of a number of posts. If you move the scrollbar thumb to the top, you get to see the first post on the page, and if you move it to the middle, you get to see approximately the middle of the page. Contrast this with Discourse, where the scrollbar thumb has no relation at all with anything - if you move it somewhere, it might stay there - or it might jump to some random place, while the view doesn't change.
And you don't even offer a replacement for it (no, the post counter at the bottom (except when it's not) of the window is not a replacement - it doesn't show where in the discussion I am, and I can't use it to move around the discussion.
I completely agree, the main reason being that it's just too difficult to find the post(s) you want to reply to again....and even if you remember a phrase from the interesting post, that doesn't help you, because ^F is broken, because Discourse has to unload the posts that are too far away from your current viewport.
Works on most Windows laptops, too. FN -> is end and FN <- is home
You mean non-apple laptops. And I found that this works on macs precisely because this is how many regular laptops implement Home/End/PgUp/PgDn - except that unlike Apple, they indicate that on the keys.
The fact that him and @sam even show up to answer this rediculously hostile feedback is why I'm so committed to Discourse.
I don’t think any other forum software manage to do it correctly. But they usually have the option to quote an entire post, giving you the correct format.
C'mon, even GMail doesn't do that kind of crazy old-school Outlook 97 hierarchical threading. It's flat as a pancake.
You're saying that like it's a good thing. I like hierarhical threading in my e-mail client (and guess what - there's never any question about which messages are new).
...and you're capturing CTRL-F which, at first glance, seems to work pretty well.
...for the values of pretty well that mean: doesn't highlight all matches in the page, doesn't search while I'm typing, disappears when I hit Enter instead of moving to the next match...
Editor bugs:
Pressing Ctrl+V does weird things - in the previous post I was writing, it deleted everything from ^ to the end of line.
Clicking in the editor when it doesn't have focus scrolls it a random amount up, and places the cursor away from where you clicked.
Τhіѕ tοріс сοntаіnѕ thе wοrd "bаllοοn" аnd thе numbеr "twο hundrеd ѕеvеntу thrее"
Oh, and just to compare Discourse's hijacked search:
with browser's native search:
See how the browser highlights the match?
When I search for "writ" I get those letters highlighted. But if I add the last 'e' in the word, it goes away.
.hcraes ot woh nraeler ot deen uoy ,ylraelC :)
The cloaking mechanism means that the scrollbar is "stable" it only gets longer.
The scrollbar is anything but stable - when you navigate, it jumps around like mad when it's thumb gets near the edges.
@Lorne_Kates @ender you might want to turn off crazy people mode when the import actually goes through.I've been geting ~350 messages/hour for the last week due to a failing fan in a client's server (which I'll finally be able to replace tonight), so a few thousand messages from Discourse really won't bother me that much :)
(Also, without the crazy people mode, I probably wouldn't use this forum at all)
Whatever DC is doing with emails is intolerable and unreadable, and I ended up disabling them all within the first couple of days.My only gripe with Discourse e-mails is that the plain-text part contains raw markup, while HTML part has bright background on quoted messages (unfortunately my e-mail client doesn't let me override the CSS). Oh, and that the e-mails arrive wildly out-of-order.
Depending on the mood I either use the scrollwheel and read around the centre of the viewport, or I use spacebar to scroll page-by-page.
You certainly do like tabs, don't you?
...that's about the average number of tabs I have open in my browser...
(and when I start researching something, they multiply exponentially)
It's actually kind of cool and can be exploited in interesting ways; in theory you can have more than 256 colours in a GIF if you spread them over successive frames because each frame can have its own palette, and indicate one index of the palette as 'inherit whatever the previous colour was' so with suitably lax image handlers, you could have as many colours as you like provided the frames are suitably managed.
I gave up on Discourse, and follow this forum through e-mail only. The only time I come to the site is when I want to post/respond to something (and I wouldn't even do that if replying by e-mail worked).
As you can see, it only works kinda sorta. The entire message that I sent was:
This is a reply by e-mail (text above quote).

Not on a server, it just opens a second session (you can have 2 sessions active for administration).
There's a reason I use ripcord for accessing Discord.
