@error Toby Faire, that seems more of a JS ecosystem WTF than a Stack Overflow one.

@pie_flavor said in discobot feature requests and ideas:
It does what a normal forum should do, with added polish and expediency
It had way less polish than it doesn't have now.
Also Gąska wasn't allowed ą so I guess it had no Polish either.

What?
-
-
@pie_flavor It has no added polish now. It had less back then.
-
@loopback0 Infiniscroll is polish over the browsing experience. Floating/minimizable composer is polish over the posting experience. Etc.
-
@pie_flavor Discoscroll was the literal opposite of polish. Even if they have made it not terrible now it was terrible when we had it.

If you count "rubbing shit over your car's paint" as polish, sure.

you all are adorable.

create private messages both two-way and group
Yeah, about that...
-
@error said in discobot feature requests and ideas:
The answer to the question "what's the proper way to do foo in Angular?" changes with each major version
No it doesn't. The proper answer has consistently always been "Angular is terrible; don't use it."
-
@pie_flavor said in discobot feature requests and ideas:
If it sucked, I wouldn't like it.
When you grow up, you'll discover circumstances under which this is false.
-
@Mason_Wheeler About it what?
-
@pie_flavor You weren't actually around here when Jeff was demonstrating to us just how private those messages weren't.
There are plenty of very good reasons why he's reviled around these parts.
-
@Mason_Wheeler I thought you were talking about the usability. No, I'm not sure why you'd expect a message that's stored on the admin's server to be unreadable by the admin. Everything else is just convenience.
-

Basic human decency and respect for privacy if nothing else! Seriously, if you don't see how that behavior was inherently repulsive... I really don't know what to tell you.
-
@Mason_Wheeler Are you sure you're not confusing hatred of Discourse with hatred of Jeff?
-
@pie_flavor said in discobot feature requests and ideas:
yearly topics
Yeah, right. IIRC, his version of "civilized" discourse was that no topic should ever be longer than about 20 or 30 posts, because it would lose focus and be hard to follow.
-
@HardwareGeek said in discobot feature requests and ideas:

and you offer this forum as a counterexample?
-
@pie_flavor said in discobot feature requests and ideas:

That conflation's kind of what happens when the developer of something ties his identity and his values so tightly to it.
-
I’m still unable to comprehend why a forum should become slower with a topic having 5000 posts, compared to having those in several topics. Did he ever read his friend’s post about Shlemiel?!
Also, Stack Overflow handles roughly a trillion posts just fine.

@error Toby Faire, that seems more of a JS ecosystem WTF than a Stack Overflow one.
Are you saying there haven't been any substantial changes to the .Net and Java ecosystems this past decade?
-
@Jaloopa said in discobot feature requests and ideas:
@error yeah, but people who use Rust won't realize that
Because they don't live long enough?
(It's an interesting coincidence that the two most hardcore Rust proponents around here are both college students.)
-
@Gąska At least it's an interesting language. If I had the free time I'd already learned it, unlike the seventy bazillion other hipster languages and all the web shit out there, which I couldn't care less about.

@pie_flavor Move the cheese by all means, just don't replace it with rotten expired cheese.

In general, stuff from 10 years ago still works in Java and .Net (except maybe .Net Core). Not always in Javascript. Angular 2 and up, for example, is so different from Angular 1.x it shouldn't even be called the same thing.
-

Angular 2+ is called Angular. Angular 1 is now AngularJS.
Google returns AngularJS results when I search Angular.

@error Someone at the meeting said "Why don't we use the different name for the new thing rather than reusing the old name and renaming the old version to something new?" at which point he was immediately fired.

: This cheese isn't cheese. It's just an empty box that says "cheese" on it.
: No, you don't pay us and your 25-server cluster is way too small for a forum of 30 users and you're holding it wrong on a client device we'll never support and you don't even know what cheese is you toxic starhole. CLICKS BAN BUTTON

@pie_flavor I see you're not familiar with Jeff or the Discourse team.

@mott555 read it. It can be illuminating.

I think they expected AngularJS to be completely superseded by Angular, but a large faction of the developers didn't want to completely rewrite their codebases and switch languages from JavaScript to TypeScript. (Imagine that.)
So now it's the Pathfinder to D&D.
-
@error Isn't typescript a superset of JS?
-
@pie_flavor Mostly. But Angular's AoT compiler hooks into the TypeScript compiler and generates virtual (in-memory) files and a lot of weird shit like that, and everything is based on decorator metadata now, so it relies on features not yet in JS.

Trying to think of the best way to go about joining games. Does it 'start' the game, wait some predetermined length of time for people to join the active game, and then actually start? Does it start anyway after a predetermined number join? Is it instead that you join and leave the queue, and whenever a game starts the queue are placed in it? If this is the case, does it eject you afterwards or not? How should unresponsive people be handled in either case?

I guess it depends what sort of game but both. Wait for X amount of time or until Y people have joined - whichever comes first.

@loopback0 you must have missed the discussion. Cards Against Humanity.
