βπ THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
-
Technically there is only one forum, not multiple. We're not using that toxic hellstew software that deems every area for discussion as a 'separate forum' with 'subforums', instead we have 'categories' because that's so much more hipster.
I don't care. I do not intend to change my parlance in regular discourse because someone deems it un-hip.

Good for you.

Technically there are multiple forums in the sense that tdwtf still sports the CS-Forum.

Feature request: in addition to the button we should have other buttons, so the bottom of a typical post would read:
1 person liked this.
2 people think this is
5 people think this is
1 person gave this aGold stars would be more limited than likes (possibly transferrable) and thus have higher value.

Needs purple dildo emoji.

@ben_lubar already has a button
And you're missing the "groan"/"eye-roll" button that has already been suggested at least twice.

Doing stupid shit like this to get around stupid Asterisk's limitations:
macro set(p_expression) { Set(LOCAL(varname)=${SHIFT(p_expression,=)}); Set(LOCAL(macro)=${SHIFT(p_expression,\()}); Set(LOCAL(params)=${SHIFT(p_expression,\))}); Set(LOCAL(retname)=r_${macro}); AELSub(${macro},${EVAL(${params})}); Set(${varname}=${${retname}}); return; }
All that so I can do
&set(x=someMacro(param1,param2));
instead dealing with stupid globals.

Refusing to use this new "sanitation" thing:
The etiquette of some mainland Chinese travellers overseas has again come under fire after a family allegedly allowed their child to defecate on the seat of a Delta Airlines flight from Beijing to Detroit.
Flight attendants and fellow passengers tried to have the child moved to the aircraft toilet, but both parents and grandparents who were accompanying the child were insistent, leaving the flight attendant no choice but to drop the subject, it was reported.
The childβs parents spread newspaper on the airline seat and encouraged the child to relieve himself there, according to the Daily Mail.

Why stop there? I suggest a special generic system of sequences of symbols that allows us to express most if not all forms of emotion and its subtleties.
We can put all these clickable symbols on a rectangle on the screen that can be shown or hidden at will.

Gold stars would be more limited than likes (possibly transferrable) and thus have higher value.
And then we can have arguments Γ‘ la slashdot about the difference between and . And why you should simply flame the poster rather than giving him a .

And the likes thread can have siblings!

I get what you're saying. We could certainly present all the expressed emotional responses below every given post.
But what of the counts?

So we all know that PMs are just topics on Discourse, right?
Discourse isn't unique in that - another forum I'm on treats PMs as topics as well, and even allows multiple users to participate (there's a fun bit in the rules about this - if more than 5 [IIRC] people participate, thePMtopic may be subject to moderation).

Well it has quite a few rows of bars and clubs.
Just none dedicated to that twat...

The code that I dealt with this morning:
ht["PhoneAreaCode"] = ht["Phone"].ToString().Substring(1, 3); ht["PhoneNo"] = ht["Phone"].ToString().Substring(6,3) + ht["Phone"].ToString().Substring(10);
(ht is a System.Collections.HashTable)

Why use variables when you can use a hashtable with strings?

Ignoring everything else, and having to deal with telephony myself... Damn that's some naive phone number parsing code.
Unless it has all been neatly parsed before it was put in that HashTable it's bound to blow up in someone's face sooner or later.

Nope, simply returned from a database. It was blowing up for companies without a phone number.

Oh, nice:
template = Regex.Replace(template, pattern, parms[Param].ToString());
template
being a string,pattern
another string, andparms

Oh, right, buttumed an

. Silly me.What I was mostly referring to though, is if this keeps any kind of data that might include international calling codes... yeah, a pain. Especially considering that lengths range from 1 to 3 digits, and there are overlaps all over the place (both US and Canada have the calling code
+1
).

These are only for US companies. At least I assume so. One search parameter is State, which is a multi-select. You can select ALL, which passes every single state option to the proc.
Because
WHERE @State = 'All' OR Company.[State] IN dbo.ProcessStateString(@State)
is too hard.

Like how PHP does it internally but most PHP programmers have NFI?
-
I've seen
$$foo
used in PHP. Has anyone seen$$$foo
or$$$$foo
?
-
No because $$foo is valid but $$$ and onwards is not.
-
Hold on, let me pull this from another post...
// Loop until we find a non-set variable or exceed the backreference limit while($[${ISNULL(${\${i}})} != 1 && ${i}<=9]) { Set($${i}=); Set(i=$[${i}+1]); }
Do I win?
Note: not PHP
