I propose a test suite named "Gurgle".
Whether it's a sound that your computer makes when trying to run it, or the sound you make when you see all the errors is left as an exercise to the reader.

Maybe the next will be Toot?
I googled "javascript toot" just to check that it didn't actually exist. Found this:
...close enough?

So where's the fart button plugin for Discourse?

Don't worry. There's probably a bot brewing somewhere as we speak.

Switching is the TRWTF.
Gulp is a bit nicer, but not to the extent you can justify the switching costs. They are just being tech hipsters, like those Mac fans with the garbage can server farm.

$(document).ready(function() { window.PagedownCustom.appendButtons.push({ id:"wmd-fart-button", description:"FART!", execute:function(a){ a.before += 'FART! '; } }); $(document.body).append('<style> #wmd-fart-button::before {content: "\\f0c2";}</style>') });I was bored...

Where have you guys been? We're on the new pre-alpha 0.0.0.0a version of "Queef". Queefing is amazing. The simplicity of doing a Queef is such a breath of fresh air.

My cousin posted this on Facebook:
Maybe we could try describing our last farts using names of javascript projects?
-
So he took a Twitter meme from like 4 years ago and migrated it to Facebook? Good to get a sense of "drag time" there.
-
It looks like he saw it somewhere and shared it.
a Twitter meme
Is everyone always on twitter in your universe?
-
Yes.
Or to use the scientific term, "Twitterverse".
-
Please go back there, then.

Farewell, Twitter. It hasn't been pleasant.
Ive finally realized that Twitter was designed by a cabal of sinister alien superintelligences trying to come up with the best possible way to generate hatred and mistrust, ultimately leading to global thermonuclear war so they can move in afterwards and steal all our Hello Kitty merchandise…
Twitter is a toxic hellstew that makes non-Discourse forums look like sane places.

I guess that explains why talking about farts was a thing @blakeyrat did there.

I never participated in that dumb meme.

What is this thing......?
100 something characters?
That's going to end up in the most idiotic....
Oh god.
My IQ level dropped.

Not sure if you mean twitter is better or worse than discourse.

I've mostly bailed on Facebook and its own completely unique parade of horribles, although that's caused me grief because everyone I know is still on it and seemingly nothing else, so I end up missing important messages sometimes. I think the idea of a social network is really good and useful; it's a pity the implementations are nightmarish dystopias.
Um, newsflash dude.
People are terrible things. Horrible things.
Social media allows them to be this, without consequences.
Poisonous mixture of anonymity, pseudonymity, and real identities in constant proximity makes "doxxing" an actual threat that can be made, because there's no actual cultural focus in one direction or the other.
No, doxxing is a real threat because people are horrible to each other, and finding out who someone is IRL is a terrible idea because then it ties your polite IRL self to all the shit you caused when you were a jackass.
Me.... I tie myself to my real name.

But then I'd have to do something with facebook to make use of that!

Ever since ~2006 when a Best Buy employee told me, a potential Zune customer, that I could squirt songs over wifi to other Zune devices, weird tech names/phrases haven't phased me too much.
Either way, neither Grunt nor Gulp are simple to jump into. They both require a large number of external libraries out of the gate and it is not always clear how you can piece the puzzle together. Once you get the patterns for either, they both work fine. I prefer Gulp because it was easy to get up and running with an incremental build system (which of course requires a minimum of 9 libraries).
-
Gulp, at least, does not require the use of any other libraries. You're more than welcome to implement the logic yourself, rather than requiring existing modules.

Grunt seems pretty simple. I only started using it recently. It's part of what I like to call the "lego culture" of Node.js, though.
-
-
That too :) I was going for, writing a Node program more often than not means picking up some libraries and snapping them together without any real logic in between.
-
I got it, but I couldn't resist

Isn't that modern high-level programming in general? Admittedly, Node is a particularly egregious example, but the Lego analogy applies at least in part to stuff like .NET too.
-
Sure, but .NET has a Visual Studio "let the IDE do the work for me" culture, while Node has a lego culture where they prefer lego code, and Java has an Enterprise culture.

That's not a twitter rant; http://pastebin.com/40wYjUcN – that's a twitter rant.

TLDR
More descriptive my ass
-
Your ass is descriptive?
-
-
if i had to guess i would say the intended meaning would be:
"More words does not imply more descriptive"
-
Can you see any way that that relates to anything that came before it? To me it just seems like a complete non-sequitur.

not really, I assume it's referencing that pastebin link you posted. possibly unread because it was tagged with TL;DR

Sorry about the confusion. The second line was just filler because of disco complaining...

ah.
hidden coments or html tags are your friend there. Like adding a plain <i> at the end of your post. that'll get it past the descriptive filter. ;-)

No skin off my nose. My link is just way rantier than @frostcat's, is all. His is just someone who's dipped a toe into twitter and found it not to their taste (if someone leads with “140 characters makes it impossible to communicate”, that just means they stuck at brevity) whereas mine was a fountain of crazy from someone who was in too deep, like “don't do twitter, kids, or you'll end up like @oprahwinfrey69”.
