And yes, I've hit this particular wall a few times now. I think I've written three graphical languages now throughout my career, and all of them ended up with lots of text getting involved anyway. I'm not saying it's impossible to create a fully graphical language… but nobody's yet managed to really do it without making the results either laughable or totally gimped, so it must be really hard.

What happened to any plan to integrate the site articles to NodeBB? Did gods decide to keep the hands of this wretched hive of scum and villainy out of their precious articles?

I was testing it recently. @NedFodder hasn't had a chance to take a look. Added a post here:

@anonymous234 I've heard about the thing where they make you walk in a circle despite you thinking it's a straight path before. Pity that it seems to require such a large base area.
This is why people have gotten lost in a snowstorm and froze to death only a few feet away from warmth and safety.

Never heard of these, but they look interesting
Cronut http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/cronutCronuts are a hybrid pastry made of half croissant and half doughnut. Since being introduced by New York City chef Dominique Ansel in May 2013, the $5 pastries have caused a frenzy in New York City and elsewhere in the United States, even leading to a black market on Craigslist where they’re being sold for $30 – $80 dollars each.

Even managing to correctly retry a posting when the site cooties out during posting seems to be too much. Yes, at least the watchdog timer usually recovers things fairly quickly, but you have to manually redo the submit.

@bb36e this. So much this.
Most web devs around me (not my coworkers though) seem to be going through this and my reaction is... "Can I confiscate your complicator's gloves?"

@Arantor at my place i forced the web devs to drop all their fancy frameworks and javascript and made them write html 1.1

Wait, you can type
<b>bold text</b>

@PleegWat yup, though it's not semantic enough.

This helps to compensate for the insanity of the Electoral College—which, the way we use it today, neither makes sense nor bears any real relation to what the founding fathers intended. Because of the Electoral College, only a few states matter for presidential general elections, and the residents of other states are basically voiceless.

That's where the title "Sheep and Goats" comes from, which is a reference to a parable in the Christian religion which suggests that human beings can be sorted into good and bad, sheep (good) and goats (bad), wheat (edible) and tares (inedible).

Contempt is not justifiable. If you have technical arguments about whether PHP is a good choice for a particular project, those can be made without insulting anyone or their work. PHP is a work, a technical body of work. Insulting it, all of it, including all the amazing work inside that tooling and library ecosystem plus the language core itself is insulting to people. Contempt is bullying.
My concern is also for the way we self-indentified alpha-male-white-geeks gate-keep, police, and exclude others.
I would tell him that I'm ashamed that I ever insulted Ruby, which contains such great community, such a friendly (generally) and welcoming atmosphere. Okay, so the Ruby community has had to face this "Bro-coder culture" and it has had some toxic personalities.

fools ...
-
@cabrito I love how the article makes it sound like the problem is that Europeans aren't working enough. Are European companies significantly worse off, or requiring more people to get the job done? Are Americans making so many mistakes on the job they have to work 25% more to get the same amount done? Without that kind of data, it's not possible to figure out what the ideal is.
-
@Yamikuronue I read that as american salaries are lower than europeans re (cost of life + perceived 'needs'), also different lifestyles

@cabrito Looking at how the study is done, I suspect some of it's to do with the lack of pensions meaning more senior citizens are working, adding to the average. I wonder if it's more normative to have dual-income families as well? And/or for teens to work?
Either way, there's a difference between "the typical person who works puts in 25% more hours in a week" and "the typical person will work 25% more hours in their life"; the text implies the former, then explains that the study said the latter.
