You must be new.
yep, you're a pretty shitty puppet if you weren't actually signed up on here as someone else originally.

DAMNIT WHY DOES IT HAVE TO TRUNCATE

DAMNIT WHY DOES IT HAVE TO TRUNCATE
Just take a screenshot and post it as a very large image. You know how to do that, right?

௵ to ௳ doesn't make sense to me. They look completely different, at least in this font.

6.1 Confusables Data Collection
The confusability tables were created by collecting a number of prospective confusables, examining those confusables according to a set of common fonts, and processing the result for transitive closure.
The prospective confusables were gathered from a number of sources. Erik van der Poel contributed a list derived from running a program over a large number of fonts to catch characters that shared identical glyphs within a font, and Mark Davis did the same more recently for fonts on Windows and the Macintosh. Volunteers from Google, IBM, Microsoft and other companies gathered other lists of characters. These included native speakers for languages with different writing systems. The Unicode compatibility mappings were also used as a source. The process of gathering visual confusables is ongoing: the Unicode Consortium welcomes submission of additional mappings. The complex scripts of South and Southeast Asia need special attention. The focus is on characters that can be in the recommended profile for identifiers, because they are of most concern.
So yeah, a mixture of manual and automated. That's pretty interesting.

I saw this

Interestingly, Joel is a CEO at Stack Exchange, but he is also a part of Trello Inc. You know, that product that's pretty good for tracking stuff? Maybe even bugs? Maybe someone should show it to @codinghorror ?

I am a sock puppet.
i promise to be nice and not spammy in the slightest.
unless my programmer makes a big big big mistake... but he promises to try his hardest not to do that.
wait, no. that makes me a bot doesn't that?

You could be both... a SockBot.
Why hasn't someone made a bot that emulates signature guy yet?

I agree with whatever Luhmann just said.

I know I have that feeling all the time.

Nice... So who's going to be the first to write an open-source Discourse bot so we can get this working?
-
/me raises hand
ahem
i'm working on one now.
two actually. I'm not sure if it's going to be in Python3 or node.js yet so i'm developing in parallel for now.
-
Node.js? You trying to beat Jeff at his own game of WTF?
-
I like the language. there's a lot of things it gets right(parallel processing for example. great model), and a whole [censored]-tonne of things it gets wrong (how it handles packages, oh and the whole uncaught exception that you actually couldn't have caught and handled because it's in package code crashing your process.... grrr.)
besides if it's not too much trouble to deal with i like the idea of a forum bot for the dailyWTF being a bit of a WTF itself.
of course i'm willing to put up with
-
Will you write it with our favorite node-based text editor?
-
Unlikely, I'm writing it on a headless VM. I'm probably going to be doing most of my development using cloud9
I will be checking that editor out soon though. it looks interesting enough and if it performs well enough (usability wise not speed, i got a beast of a computer for that) i may switch to it.
then again, i do still seem to default back to ViM whenever i get the chance. so maybe not so much.
-
Mental note: don't try to write two posts to the same thread in two separate tabs. Discourse can't handle it.

Anyway... I see the plan to troll people into not believing this was actually systern's password has worked as expected.

Arrest this imposter!

So the real @system can also be used as a sockpuppet? Discourse just gets better and better!
-
Of course it can; since adminly types have impersonation, they can impersonate any account - @system included - and post from it.

Yikes... Why would Discourse implement a feature to impersonate other users? Surely that could only ever be used for abuse - which is, of course, perfect for this site.
-

Impersonation can be useful to test user permissions. But apparently limiting the impersonation to permissions, like other forum software do, is Doing It Wrong. I guess Discourse’s version of impersonation is just
session.user = selected_user

SockBot is a sockpuppet robot.
contact @accalia if I go wrong.

Are you three-rules safe?

'preciate that. now i have to actually get off my arse and finish writing him.
-

Actually we cant. The button isn't there for @system.
-
Yeah, but you can transfer ownership, which while not quite the same as impersonation, amounts to much the same in practice.
-

The button (to impersonate other admins) is available for admins having an email address listed in the
DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS
container configuration line.

Are Jeff & Co in this list of developers? Yes, bundle a backdoor into every distribution by default!
-
i've added @kibo
if the real kibo wants the account I'll gladly hand it over. Until then...
MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
theres also @sockbot.
@sockbot password is: sockbotsockbot
-
Not hunter2? Shame.
-
oooooh. i forgot about that one.
well there's a limit to how many sockpuppets i can keep track of.
@SockAdept and @kibo for personal use will have to do... for now.
(@sockbot is shared afterall)
EDIT: you were talking about the password weren't you?
/me facepalm
-
Not with an Excel spreadsheet there isn't. Printed out and placed on a wooden table for thoroughness.
And yes, I was talking about the password. Learn you the memes.

IIRC that's one of the things in the setup they encourage you to change near the start of the installation.

i'm aware of that meme... but i have had insufficient caffeine today it appears.
or my brain decided to take a vacation day without telling my body. those happen on occasion too.
EDIT: .... HOLY GODDESS [syn. excrement, vulgar]! CHROME FINALLY FIXED THAT BUG WITH SPELLCHECK! Summoning the menu thingie that right click also summons via keyboard finally offers spell check of the word your cursor is in!

ok. so apparently speling is not my forte.
and i'm a native English speaker too! :-(

Hm?
Algorithm is the correct spelling.
Logarithm is like exponentiation except kind of inverted.
It was one of the funny parts of a recent front page article.
