@Polygeekery and you didn't take him up on it? That's how you skip right into endgame.

Of course, some things never change.

part of the XML spec,
Given the size of "spec" that includes XML Schema, everyone and his angle-bracketed dog are part of the spec. (The specification space of XML is painfully large. BTDT.)
Exactly. It's extremely well defined, supported by everything, and has libraries to work with it painlessly everywhere. That's why it's good.

@Magus said in The Official Status Thread:

This doesn't make it good, although those are all good things that add to its value. It can be drastically improved in terms of type-safety and verbosity, and is prone to extremely painful abuses.

@Gribnit Okay, but we're comparing this to json right now. The only way it's worse than that is verbosity - and I actually prefer the verbosity, because it's more clear what ends where in a giant blob of data.

@Magus
| jq '.'
iirc has usually solved most such JSON problems. I'd get behind something like YAML for almost anything I'd actually have to touch. XML is nice for interoperability, very nice indeed, but only barely adequate vs equally nice for editing. The front end wants JSON.
-
@Gribnit said in The Official Status Thread:
The front end wants JSON.
They also want Javaxcript and PHP. What they want is invalid.
-
@Gribnit YAML might be nice for editing but the syntax is so incredibly inflated and obtuse. TOML, a much simpler language, is far better for end user editing, with the added bonus of not doing the whole 'whitespace indent' thing.
-
@pie_flavor Yeah I dunno if I would want to give end users anything more than OGML. YAML is for me or ops.
-
@Gribnit TOML's far simpler to understand. You, of course, being such a wizard, can probably edit MessagePack by hand.
-
@pie_flavor nothing is easier to understand than OGML
-
@Gribnit disagree
-
I know nothing about OGML but if @Gribnit understands it I can only assume it's as comprehensible as a chant to awaken Cthulhu

@Jaloopa you're thinking of RTF.

Status: Powered on a computer that was disconnected and shutdown for a year.
Somehow, Windows magically forgot how to boot and can't find the drive it loaded the bootloader from.

The solution? Switch the SATA controller from AHCI to RAID. Despite that the OS drive wasn't in a RAID array. Because that makes sense.

Removing it from the domain and then rejoining the domain usually works for me.

Apparently there's not a

powershell scriptlet that, so long as you can log in as an administrator, seems to work fine.

STATUS:
I got a new laptop, with a touch screen and 2-in-1 tablet mode.
Funny thing happened. When I am in touch mode, Chrome is kind of shit. Laggy zooming and scrolling, no easing, crappy experience all around. Firefox isn't much better either. But Edge.... it's perfect. Silky smooth everything, easily tappable buttons. It's great.
So I am writing this in Edge. Who would have thought.
BTW, I bet 99% of Chrome developers are Mac users. And Mac-s don't have touch.

My laptop has always had a love-hate relationship with touch on Chrome. I don't exhibit the same symptoms you are though.
BTW, do you get history spam as well?

@cartman82 my surface pro 3 has no issues with touch and chrome. It has managed to lose the mouse cursor (goes invisible when in that window) though.

Yup. But I don't use that win+tab switcher, so it doesn't bother me.
