RE: The Official Good Ideas Thread™
Hey! I don't need to prove myself. I drew all kinds of complex vehicles and even made a RPG inside logo back when I was at high school. I could draw something magnificent for you guys, but that's a barrier to getting work done at work.

I concur.

RE: Read Only Internet Forums
I can't wait to see a forum administrator deliberately set their server time to something else to get around Discourse going into backup mode while it's at its busiest.

RE: Markdown Drama Part III - The Revenge of the CommonMark
It would be difficult to get such a story past ol' buddy ol' chum Mr Papadimoulis. However, I'd love to hear an audiobook rendition of the epic tale, Jeff vs TDWTF, with 'Make it work' replaced with 'You're doing it wrong'.

RE: Markdown Drama Part III - The Revenge of the CommonMark
Blockquotes and paragraphs inside list items.... Code tags inside pre tags... Pedantic dickweedery about the number of spaces needed to continue a list...
This is almost front-page material. We just need a racial stereotype and a new hire and the job of HTML-not-invented-here is done.

RE: Sexy Sock Puppet Master List
Yikes... Why would Discourse implement a feature to impersonate other users? Surely that could only ever be used for abuse - which is, of course, perfect for this site.
-
RE: Sexy Sock Puppet Master List
So the real @system can also be used as a sockpuppet? Discourse just gets better and better!

RE: Bad Words List and How to Abuse it Here
Even people like Jeff know the world isn't all black and white. He will devise a graylist of words, each with an associated level of 'civilizedness' or 'discofactor' between 0 and 1. Your discoreputation will adapt according to how often you use said words. This way, you'll eventually have a forum with people
who all engage in constructive civilized discourse harmonygaming the system by using words like 'Nice' and 'Thanks' and not 'Belgium'.

RE: New feature request
var kkeys = [], konami = "38,38,40,40,37,39,37,39,66,65"; $(document).keydown( function(event) { kkeys.push(event.keyCode ); if(kkeys.toString().indexOf(konami) >= 0 ) { console.log('this worked by the way'); init(); kkeys = []; } });
As if Discourse needed any additional performance problems.

Node.js? You trying to beat Jeff at his own game of WTF?

RE: Sexy Sock Puppet Master List
Nice... So who's going to be the first to write an open-source Discourse bot so we can get this working?
-
RE: Bad Words List and How to Abuse it Here
Doing it wrong by doing it right. There's a first time for everything, I guess!
-
RE: Sexy Sock Puppet Master List
You could be both... a SockBot.
Why hasn't someone made a bot that emulates signature guy yet?

RE: Bad Words List and How to Abuse it Here
Especially something that helps enforce 'civilized' discourse that we all know how much Jeff loves.
Filed under: This topic is clearly important to you - you used over 5% rude words in this post

RE: Bad Words List and How to Abuse it Here
Time for someone to write a plugin! And yes, it should be one that doesn't understand word boundaries.

Bad Words List and How to Abuse it Here
Many forums have a 'badword' feature that replaces swear words with tamer equivalents. Does Discourse have this? If so, we should abuse it.
For example: brilliant! => brillant!

RE: C# hate
public Exception sum(int x, int y) { if (x < 0 || y < 0) { return new InvalidOperationException("You're doing it wrong."); } if (x > 1000 || y > 1000) { return new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("This operation is rate-limited. Please try again in 23 hours 59 minutes."); } if (x != x || y != y) { return new Threading.ThreadStateException("You clicked the like button twice and encountered a race condition"); } if (x == 42) { return new NotImplementedException("Not priority for V1.0"); } return new Exception(); //should never happen }

RE: Sexy Sock Puppet Master List
Interestingly, Joel is a CEO at Stack Exchange, but he is also a part of Trello Inc. You know, that product that's pretty good for tracking stuff? Maybe even bugs? Maybe someone should show it to @codinghorror ?

RE: Thanks for the Discourse V1 brownies!
We could use a similar approach to fix most bugs with Discourse: temporarily disable posting. That would fix streaming posts, markdown/bbcode/html, etc.

RE: Javascript gotchas thread
CBA to do actual work for the last half-hour on a Friday. So here you go.

RE: Thanks for the Discourse V1 brownies!
Nice find. Can't believe I actually clicked to like Jeff's response to that.
-
RE: Thanks for the Discourse V1 brownies!
Right, of course he would. But think about it a little more... Alex could have signed it 'from TDWTF forums' to make it look like it came from us, and therefore repair our damaged relationship with Jeff.
Let's get a lawyer on the case to analyze this for us.
-
RE: Thanks for the Discourse V1 brownies!
The Dancing Deer baking company allows online ordering, and given that the message was printed on their branded paper, I'll assume it was typed up as a 'special message to recipient'. Therefore, Alex wouldn't be able to sign it personally unless he used ASCII-art.
-
RE: Thanks for the Discourse V1 brownies!
Anyway! I'm really glad someone took the time to do this. I wonder if it was @apapadimoulis or an actual forum regular?
Maybe there's still a chance of getting us onto the Special Thanks list.
-
RE: Thanks for the Discourse V1 brownies!
Hope you choke.
Calm down a little? I don't think even Blakey would say stuff like that, and if he did, it would be presented in an obviously-for-dramatic-effect manner, such as all-caps.
Sure, we like to find and exploit bugs in Discourse, then joke about it and troll Jeff. We also like to insult each other and be pedantic. But it's all fun and games really. It doesn't warrant actual death threats.
Or maybe my sarcasm detector needs fixing?

RE: Sexy Sock Puppet Master List
6.1 Confusables Data Collection
The confusability tables were created by collecting a number of prospective confusables, examining those confusables according to a set of common fonts, and processing the result for transitive closure.
The prospective confusables were gathered from a number of sources. Erik van der Poel contributed a list derived from running a program over a large number of fonts to catch characters that shared identical glyphs within a font, and Mark Davis did the same more recently for fonts on Windows and the Macintosh. Volunteers from Google, IBM, Microsoft and other companies gathered other lists of characters. These included native speakers for languages with different writing systems. The Unicode compatibility mappings were also used as a source. The process of gathering visual confusables is ongoing: the Unicode Consortium welcomes submission of additional mappings. The complex scripts of South and Southeast Asia need special attention. The focus is on characters that can be in the recommended profile for identifiers, because they are of most concern.
So yeah, a mixture of manual and automated. That's pretty interesting.

RE: Javascript gotchas thread
Sounds legit to me. But then I'd have to take your username, because I would have to kill a coder - namely the one who implemented your recommendation.

RE: Javascript gotchas thread
So
undefined
is a global property and not a reserved word? WTF. This thread has reduced my faith in JavaScript even further, and it was pretty damn low already. -
RE: Var x = document.getElementById("MainContent").style; x.backgroundImage = "url('http://i.imgur.com/2eODocT.png')"; x.backgroundSize = "100%";</script>
Looks like nobody grabbed a screenshot for posterity. I just copied the title of this topic into the console to reproduce what it would have looked like.
Looks extra awesome with the burning Oracle plane, I must say.

RE: Discourse 1.0
I know the 'buy this trademark for $$$' has already been mentioned, but what I also find particularly interesting is whatever algorithm came up with the prototype Discourse logos and eviltrout's ForumWars logo beneath them.

RE: Find and Replace, by way of Ctrl+F, Ctrl+V
Time to spill the beans. Who made this steaming pile of WTF? They should be force-fed their own dog food, as a certain moderator here would say.

RE: When Asterisk Gotos attack
So Asterisk uses this

RE: Sexy Sock Puppet Master List
Indeed! Perhaps we should check to see if he's written a blog article about how Unicode is difficult to handle, and that we should stop using it.
Oh... and then Font-Awesome would stop working.
-
RE: Sexy Sock Puppet Master List
...I really hope this list was generated by some kind of tool and not manually typed out.
Addendum: knowing phpBB, it was probably extended manually each time someone exploited a new confusable character.
-
RE: Sexy Sock Puppet Master List
Yeah. Pretty much this. If you wanted to make a list of additional characters that were considered distinct enough to be 'username-safe' you'd have to do it manually. Not even unicode normalization would be able to solve this inherently human issue.
