Yup - but you did quote it:

"with salary range" -PJH quoted by blakeyrat

The implication being that... [explains implication]

Yeah, but you are a major edit abuser. I recommend waiting a minute before you click the post button, because you often have more stuff to say.

major edit abuser.

I was taught this way by Stack Overflow.

blakeyrat

As a fellow "edit abuser": fuck you. I'll edit what I want when I want. I did the same on Community Server.

I generally try to mark the edits if it's been longer than a couple minutes though.

Am I?

@xaade said:

I'm not saying Blakey wasn't Blakey here.

Simply saying that, other people are being just as Blakey as Blakey is.

So?

If it bothers you, adblock it.

Now I have a legitimate reason to hate you. But I can't hate you; not with your avatar.

Which is THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what would be useful. Discourse marks all edits EXCEPT THE IMMEDIATE ONES.

I don't know what you mean by "marks edits".

I'd be disappointed with any other response.

@blakeyrat said:

I do this, too. Seriously, though, @xaade will write a paragraph post, and then while I'm replying to that, like 5 more paragraphs appear. WTF‽

I haven't noticed other people doing this, but maybe I'm just lucky that way.

xaade

@boomzilla said:

Mwa ha ha ha.

I usually start with my most reasonable paragraph too.

Let it get likes, then edit in the juicy stuff....

Would it better, if I had an idea later, to just make another post?

Does discourse have a saved draft feature.
Because that's my problem, is the fear of losing progress on my posts.

@xaade said:

That's what I tend to do, unless it's something minor like a typo.

@xaade said:

I'm just saying...pause for a minute. If nothing new comes to you, post away!

Again, Stack Overflow taught me twitch reflex posting.

Trying to unlearn that is hard.

I need a support group....

Shit, did it again.

Is that something people are genuinely supposed to check? Also what's the point of it if it doesn't show you what was edited? (I know there's some toggle to turn that on. I guess?)

So what? That's how the software works.

If you don't want that to happen, switch forum software.

Click the icon.

I have no problem with the software in this case. I can't imagine why you think I do.

Then the quoted text should get updated.

You need to tell me what's supposed to happen here, because when I click it, I get nothing. Either Discourse is broken, or you have some setting different than mine.

I get an overlay modal with a side by side comparison with ~~del~~ and ins

blakeyrat

Congratulations. If mine did that it might be a slightly useful widget.

Strangely, it does with for the first post in this thread. I can see where PJH bolded the phrase "with salary range", because apparently magical fairy powers with better with bold text.

@xaade said:

You only get this if you can see the edit history (something the poster can turn on for others), if it's your post I think you always get that but not sure other people however need your edit history enabled to see it.

EDIT: the pencil is colored orange if you can look at history, if you didn't turn on edit history for other people the pencil will be colored black for them and not do anything when they click it.

You accidentally that wrong.

I think there's some Trust Level treshold for that feature. Since you're opposed to gamifying discussions with likes, you can't see edit history. But we all already know Discourse sucks.

locallunatic

@Gaska said:

you can't see edit history

The user can turn it on for their posts, though I guess that mods/admins (or maybe only one of them) may always be able to see it. IIRC there is some wonkiness if someone has edit history turned off but has edit rights on things due to trust level while the original has edit history turned on.

boomzilla

TL4s can see your undeleted edit history whether it's turned on or not. Mods and admins can see your history even if a particular revision has been deleted (e.g., for failure to anonymize a screen shot).

Others can see your undeleted history if you allow them by your preferences.

I liked the time when I applied to intel through a recruiter. My resume said "studied the C# language spec" - they said "It says here you worked on the C# language spec"

I don't think they misread it. I told them what my resume actually said, and eventually got the position. But I see why people suggest PDF resumes.

PJH

@blakeyrat said:

So after all this, now you just admit to it?

Not at all. I actually admitted to it in this earlier post (hint - it's the first word of mine in it - or are you going to complain that that wasn't obvious aswell?) and by also providing the explanation/context you were missing.

But you were (and still are it seems) apparently too busy frothing at the mouth with pretend indignity to notice it.

Why yes, yes it does.

Does that stay between sessions?

RaceProUK

I believe so

@Magus said:

This is why you bring multiple copies of your resume from you directly, and then offer it to them at the beginning of the conversation.

If there's any discrepancy, you can say that you did not get a chance to review the version they received.

Then that feeds the distrust, and hopefully the company stops using bad recruiters.

@xaade said:

Apparently...

[pjh@sofa SockBot]$ psql -d discourse -c "select count(*) from drafts";
 count 
-------
 42854
(1 row)

[pjh@sofa SockBot]$

xaade

Testing it then.

Ok, it came back with reopening the tab.
It came back from reopening the browser.

I only have to navigate back to the correct topic.

TwelveBaud

nearly forty-three thousand drafts?!

😱

locallunatic

@TwelveBaud said:

There were no limiters on that so wouldn't that be between everyone (which isn't so surprising)?

PJH

It appears to be saving old drafts as well - this certainly isn't right for me for the number of current drafts:

[pjh@sofa SockBot]$ psql -d discourse -c "select count(*) from drafts where user_id=20";
 count 
-------
  1518
(1 row)

[pjh@sofa SockBot]$

Magus

The difficulty is that this happened in a phone interview. Whatever, I'm sure they've seen this kind of awfulness before.

xaade

Can I haz your email?

I just did this very thing in a Skype phonecall.

Turns out they didn't have my resume at all.

Yep. and it's highly annoying when you crosspost a quote because the next time you reply to the thread that the quote was from up comes the post that you wrote and posted ages ago in a different thread but because it started in this thread it's saved as a draft here.

i do that a lot yopu might have guessed.

RaceProUK

Has that been reported at meta.d?

The human brain is grey and mushy

It's quite pink when still alive as it's full of blood. It accounts for only about 2.5% of your mass but uses 20% of your energy. That requires a lot of blood. It contains a lot of what's called white matter which is also pink while alive.

It needs to remain intact when being shaken about in its cage, so it's not all that mushy either. It's made of meat, not goo.
