But he does get redemption for suggesting we be more offensive to Jeff.
As if Jeff would give a damn about @blakeyrat (did you get the notification?) ranting about how much he hates him.Jeff entertains the opinion that people hating you is a sure sign of you doing it right tm!
Edit: Filed under: did you get that, @blakeyrat?
-
True. I was just trying to find a silver lining in the complete story of fuckwittery that has been our experience of Discourse, and in particular blakeyrat's contempt for it.
-
It's called a "joke". Fuck. What's wrong with you people.

@blakeyrat is just an angry old man - rage is his vehicle to cope with the unavoidable. But isn't it fascinating that despite Discourse being still around, he has come back? First in The Lounge, now out in the open. Seems as if he misses his audience and is willing to take up with Discourse to get it back.As for your trying to find the silver lining - there isn't one. Discourse is a full gray background.

Don't ever give up your current job to become a stand-up comedian, then.

I dunno, I'm quite enjoying the vitriol when it's not directed in something like my direction (since I do open source stuff and I try to not make it a complete clusterfuck)

You've got to learn to see vitriol directed in your direction as a sign that you are doing it right tm!And no, you don't automagically become a member of TCofCDCK if you see things the same way their great prophet Jeff does.

Considering that vitriol in my direction is not something I appreciate (and has never, ever been a sign that "I'm doing it right") and I will probably never see things the way Jeff does, I'd say me becoming a member of TCotCDCK is about as likely as being touched by FSM and His Noodly Appendages.
-
For some reason or other, I can't think of the FSM without also thinking about bolognese sauce, grated parmesan and a glass of Chianti.
This doesn't happen with Jeff and TCofCDCK.

That's because the church of the FSM glories in joining Noodly Appendages with awesomesauce.
The only sauce I can think of in relation to Jeff and TCotCDCK is the blood that would result in the otherwise inevitable massacre...

The chianti's OK, but there you have to think about fava beans too.

Can be yours for $50.95 + Shipping and Handling!

I find the price tag rather hefty, but apart from that...

It really should come with the liver for that price...
Or a scalpel so you can supply your own?

I fall between "enhance pages visually" and "enhance functionality" for most cases. There are some cases where using JavaScript to build the entire page/site is valid, such as games or mapping applications, of which Discourse is neither.
And that's the flaw of the design. You can't base the design of the content around users having both images and JavaScript enabled. They can be used to enhance the content, but shouldn't be responsible for the content, where avoidable.
TYVM. Your site should at least function in IE11 ESC on a W2k8 Server (I'm looking at YOU, Oracle Java download site). If you want to do any fancy AJAX/..., make the default be the dumb, reload-the-page-when-you-push-a-button version, and then have your JS rewrite the DOM into something fancier. Also: never use an image to carry textual content, before I stuff you down the throat of JAWS.I hate that shit.
I have Thunderbird set to text only, utf-8. Any formatting in an email that I send out is incurred by the recipients client and I cannot be blamed for any encoding fails. If it doesn't work, screw you, stop using windows-1250 or whatever it's set to, it's 2014.
Nearly got into a fight with my ex-boss because of that once, because my emails were "ugly and unprofessional".
TRWTF is your ex-boss. Perhaps the appropriate LART for him is a mechanical typewriter?
-

I misread that as “down the throat of JAX-WS” and thought that would be too horrible a fate, even for Oracle.

Holy crap. How did it let me edit the post title? That seems like a dangerous power.

You mean he's now a regular?

Well damn. Cue gleeful cackling, Mr. Burns-esque hands rubbing together, and all that shit.
BTW Arantor, I am relatively new on the new forums but have been around since 2005 on the old ones.
-
That wasn't quite what I meant.
Trust Level 3 is when you get limited moderation powers after 50 days out of the last 100 present and some other crap.
Used to be called Leader... now it's called Regular. As in, you're a regular member but you get some moderation powers free into the bargain (and you can't turn them off, I understand)
-
That wasn't quite what I meant.
Yeah, I know what TL3 is. Don't cock-block my epeening.
-
Don't steal my lines, then! I have such a fragile male ego where e-peen is concerned.
-
What line did I steal?
-
The notion of cock-blocking e-peening!
-
snort. I spent a couple minutes trying to come up with a "peen" rhyme to synonymize with cock-block, but didn't manage to...ah...come up with anything.

Why would you say that? My god, I bet you're the kind of person who says "well, at least it's not raining!"

Well, it isn't. At least it isn't now, it was earlier.
Is there something wrong to looking for the silver lining to any situation?

Oh no you don't. I came up with peen-contravene. It's even wife-tested--she asserted that she was going to go back to reading her book when I suggested that phrase to her as a parallel to 'cock-block'.

And now MY work here is done. You can send cash contributions to my bitcoin address.

I will quite happily let you bill yourself for bitcoins seeing how you replied to yourself.
As for my bitcoins, good luck getting them. Very best of luck to you indeed. Seeing how I don't invest in toy money.

Hey, check out those avatars.

Discourse strikes again?
@discoursebot would you do the honours please?
-
Last day without Discourse Bugs: null <t2078p87>
-
Frankly I've never liked the way forums etc Hanzo avatars. I understand the reasoning but I don't agree with it.
-
Would you rather have the Discourse approach where it's staggered for accidental reasons or the everywhere-else-including-Fartbook approach that changes it everywhere because it's centrally referenced?
I have to admit I was surprised about what happened here when I changed my avatar from Oscar the Grouch to Accolade... it's a new thing for people to even take notice, let alone call me out on it.
-

What happened? I wasn't paying attention.
I don't like either approach. I think a ref to the avatar should be stored in the DB with the post so it always appears like it was when you made the original post.
-
That's a fucking lie.
Here's a portable slider control:

<input type="range">It's that fucking simple.

It was actively commented upon in the likes thread, including speculation over which of the two characters in it I saw myself as.
As for the whole 'keeping a ref in the DB' there's concerns over space usage (if people keep changing avatars) and there's also an identity thing.
It's well known by now that people invariably identify posters by avatar and regular avatar change is usually bad for identification for this reason - so some people do it deliberately for this reason.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution.

doesn't work in Lynx

```
<input type="range">It's that fucking simple.</blockquote> So which browsers support it, exactly? Also, I count two bugs in this post.
-
Why store a ref for each post?
How about a timestamp on the avatar history and then doing a
SELECT ... ORDER BY ... DESC LIMIT 1subquery when you grab the post?
-
Looks better in IE than in Chrome.

Chrome 5+
Firefox 23+
IE 10+
Opera 10.62+
Safari 1+

I don't read the likes thread, remember? I'm not a masochist as far as trying to catch up goes and I'm too lazy to write a bot.
I don't have a good counter to your comment about avatars. I just don't like the Hanzoing.
-
timestamp, link to the image, I don't really care how it's done.
