Poll: Which is the worst website with the most traffic?
-
WELL, OK BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED WE WERE HAVING A BARRIER TO READING OR SOMETHING. I MEAN, YOU KNOW HOW SOMETIMES THINGS CAN BE LOST IN TRANSLATION EXCEPT HERE YOU DON'T GET TO LEAVE WITH THAT HOT BLONDE CHICK IN THE MOVIE WITH THE NICE ASS...BUT HER NAME ESCAPES ME.
SAY, ANYONE ONE INTERESTED IN HAVING A PHILOSOPHICAL BATTLE ON HOW TO TRAIN NOOB CODERS...BECAUSE I SERIOUSLY WANT EVERYONE'S OPINION ON HOW TO HANDLE THIS.
-
Ask them if they care about doing it properly or whether 'it works' is good enough. If they say yes to the latter... tell them they're too dumb to code. Job done.

I dub this...the reverse @blakeyrat.

since scrolling back up 20-30 posts takes as much effort as it does to go back a page and scroll down it
Does it? I just hold down shift+space to move back fast.
-

I've never done that before. Cool.

-
That's because we read the fucking posts, not ignore them because they're doing it wrong.
-
Yes but more important than all that...Did @codinghorror cast his vote in my poll? and if so which one did he pick?

I don't recall them explicitly saying WONTFIX when I suggested they fix the tests to allow them to be configurable - instead they simply ignored it.
-
So that's explicit WONTFIX then?

No, that would be implicit. Explicit would be saying WONTFIX.

-sigh- I was trying to be funny, people. You know as well as I do that it's clearly using it wrong and that it doesn't even need an actual 'this won't get fixed' to be an explicit WONTFIX because it's by design or some such bullshite.

Yeah because before you probably grabbed the scrollbar and moved it back up to the position you wanted to be in the page.

I can't even remember the last time I manually moved my mouse pointer all the wayyyy over to the right and manually clicked-and-held to manipulate a scrollbar. I use this on my mouse a lot though:

I just did today. It's nice to have a scrollbar I can grab to scroll up a bit real quick to reference information located above the current viewport, then move my mouse back left (or right) far enough that it goes "oh, you're not doing this anymore" and snaps back to where I originally was.

I can't remember the last time I sat and scrolled manually through something that I could just position exactly where I wanted instantly....
And not every interface with a scrollbar is a web browser. Behold, the magic of ubiquitous OS level GUI components.

If you are not using a browser, then you are doing something wrong.

It's nice to have a scrollbar
Is it? It's even nicer to have a scroll wheel, because look at the distance you have to move to even get to the scrollbar:Versus simply using the scroll wheel (or space and shift+space with your left hand, which is presumably hovering over the keyboard right now) which requires no additional mouse movements and click-and-hold on scrollbar.
-
I was not aware that moving the mouse physically 1/2 an inch was so very very physically taxing.
-
because look at the distance you have to move to even get to the scrollbar:
Everyone is not having large size monitor. Some of us can travel that distance pretty quickly.
-
Is it?
Unless you're a complete inert person, moving the mouse isn't nearly that much effort. Besides, my point was to scroll to a point for quick reference and return to where I originally was without having to relocate it.
Also, Space and Shift+Space don't work on things that aren't browsers.

Ah, there's your problem, you're supposed to bookmark the infiniscroll page where you were to get back to it and everyone else is too lame to implement infiniscroll.
The scary part is that Jeff is increasingly reminding me of Swampy.
-
I'll give it to him, browsing this forum is slowly forcing me to forget about the tried and true methods I've had for using the scrollbar over the past 20 or so years.
The inevitable outcome is that eventually I'll be mad at everyone else's app for doing it wrong with their scrollbar and that's when you know @codinghorror has won.
Or I could stop using these forums.
Hmmmm. Choices.
Nah, the lulz are too much right now. I'll just have to get used to doing it one way everywhere else and being irritated about how it works here.
