If I ever get a hint that is being done to me, I'd solve the problem using 68K Assembly. MAKE FUN OF ME NOW!

Where's that thread where we talked about circumnavigating without going over an ocean?
Clearly it could be done with a submarine.

RE: The black hole recruitment
Where I currently work, HR is disorganized as fuck
When I was hired at my current company, HR sent me someone else's job offer. I had to tell them to send me one with my name on it.

RE: You merely adopted the 500. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see a fully rendered Discourse page until I was already a man
At this point I think hosting from an old Core 2 and cable modem in one of our basements would be an improvement in stability.
I actually have a nice server that isn't being used, but I refuse to run Discourse on it. I do not want to bring shame to my family.

RE: 🗣 Things Our Customers Have Said About Discourse Thread
Basically he was one of the more prominent 3rd party discourse devs, and he posted, in a topic that Sam created about supporting 3rd party discourse development, that it didn't work out the way it was being suggested. The discussion went the way that meta.d discussions go when someone disagrees with a discodev. IMO, he handled himself pretty well, and the discussion ended reasonably peacefully, but then all the posts were jeffed the next day and the op edited by Sam to basically "our way or the highway" before the topic itself was completely jeffed. I actually grabbed most of the posts because I figured it would be jeffed eventually, but I was surprised it was gone the very next day.

RE: Peas, jest here mii out awn these won
You "broke" Discourse hence you "win", if it was me I would just archive and close the topic.
I am sorry, but if I can DOS attack your software from a single computer successfully, IMO, that it is a serious problem.

RE: :wtf: How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread)
@wood doesn't read what other posts because he already knows what they should've have posted anyway. Sometimes he is nice enough to edit their posts for them to say what they should have meant.
Filed under: I'd quote your last paragraph, but I am on a WP and it's a day of the week that ends in a "y," so I cannot quote. -

@boomzilla Yeah, if only IDE's came in Docker containers... Then I wouldn't have to configure my installed JRE's!

RE: Trivia time: did you know??????????????
Wait, we can log bugs about the icon vomit that is this forum software?
For what is worth, I agree with blakey. Do you all honestly think the current design is better than his proposal? Or are you all just assholes?

RE: Moral dilemma
@Intercourse said:
Would it be immoral to bump up the user license count as a stop gap measure?
Stop gap measures rarely remain stop gap measures.

RE: Vote of No Confidence
I agree. I also think he isn't being punished.
If Discourse handled topics you created better, I would agree, but if you lose TL3 (for any reason), you lose access to your own TL3 topics which IMO is punitive. If it were a manual action, I could see a business case for it (such as losing staff access), but since it is highly arbitrary the only justification I can see is that it would be technologically challenging. To be honest, the whole trust level feature seems to be a gimmick feature to add perceived value.

RE: Vote of No Confidence
discodevs don't want us using Discourse
That is probably the best reason to use Discourse.
Filed under: it's still not a good reason though.

RE: How shitty is your breakroom?
I thought this forum was full of software engineers--we have amazing (foosball, air hockey, ping pong filled) break rooms that we never get to use. They are just there as eye-candy for the college recruits.

RE: RAM is slower than HDDs! If you are an idiot, that is.
Even if they used a StringBuffer and flushed the BufferedWriter in the loop, it doesn't mean anything was actually written to disk--it just means it made it to the disk buffer.

RE: Ummm, thanks, Discourse?
I used to have a local installation of Discourse, but it used up too many system resources even though it was inaccessible from anywhere. Therefore,
Sounds like running an Oracle database locally.

RE: 🗣 Things Our Customers Have Said About Discourse Thread
I created an account (@oss) on meta.d to track topics and like some of @Downey's post on the version check sending additional data. I happened to be on meta.d when Jeff made that post so I flagged it as inappropriate. My account was deleted. Now in fairness, I did use mailinator for the email address since I did not want to give out my personal email, so perhaps they assumed it was a spam account? Either way I was highly disappointed by the lack of professionalism.

RE: Easier Than Fizz Buzz - Why Can't Programmers Print 100 to 1? (article)
It's possibly a case of peoples brains turning to toffee in an interview situation.
I disagree. There really are candidates this brain dead. I understand being nervous and underperforming, but thanks to SO and schools that care more about milking students for as much money as possible, it is possible to get a CIS degree without knowing how to program at all.

RE: Memory-holing: Now here on DailyWTF! Abusive mods ahoy!
It's not driving me insane or anything, but it probably should just PM the person wanting a todo.
And the person doing a todo shouldn't post a non-content post just to get one.
If only there were ways to track todo lists that didn't use forum posts...

RE: 7Zip WTF
I'd rather have THAT than a half finished unzip in the destination folder.
Especially, when you are replacing the files in the destination folder.

Quote Reply not clearing after back navigation
Continuing the discussion from Discourse is slow on Android. Why?:
No, trust me, I know exactly who the sock puppets are. What I care about is:
- Can we actually reproduce this
- Is it something anyone else (other than this site) is complaining about
- Is this "truck vs. car" stuff, e.g. "the bug is that there is infinite scrolling! Fix it!"
And you guys often fare poorly on all three of those metrics.
For example this one:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/selection-quote-reply-is-broken-on-samsung-galaxy-s4/21041
Feel free to cite any others you don't think we've followed up on.
One that bugs me as a "compulsive text selector" is this one:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/quote-reply-button-visible-while-page-loads/19902/7Here is a screen cap I took today on meta.d:
http://i.imgur.com/6cLYjQQ.gif
(I am using IE11 on Win7 x64)If you cannot repo, I am happy to help figure out why, but closing the topic is not acceptable solution IMO. I do this professionally, so I have expectations on how bug reports should be handled; perhaps, these are unreasonable for OSS? It does seem the open source community is a lot more willing to accept "it works for me, so you are on your own."

RE: Don't edit @blakeyrat's topic titles
FWIW, this constant title changing gets on my nerves as well.
Except for the majority of users it's a source of amusement

RE: Google Maps onebox refreshes after each character typed
The fix is to provide a "preview" which is a <img>.
Where I am from we'd call that a hack--not a fix.

RE: Google Maps onebox refreshes after each character typed
Maybe Discourse devs just fucking HATE Google
Except Gmail which is the culmination of UX design!

RE: Is StackOverflow becoming less useful to anyone else?
Depends on your definition of read. I think he visits and scrolls through them, but doesn't comprehend them. I have ready too many topics over at meta.d where he misses the entire point of the OP.

RE: Is "deploying to Docker containers" now a thing?
So it sounds like Docker is there to solve the "Works on my machine" problems for crappy developers. Got it!

RE: How slow is Discourse on your mobile?
I for one find it highly humorous that you wrote:
[Quote]With my guest article, I was trying to inspire readers to take on the burden of reprogramming bad developers[/Quote]
Which is exactly what most of your critics here are trying to do with you and your team. Discourse development lacks several processes used in professional app dev which would help you build a better product. If you listened to some of the advice here, it might help you avoid some of your own wtfs. -
