once the server log get compressed, the compression ratio will be really high. so eventually the impact may not be as bad.unless of course you randomize the the user agent string on each request.
Yes, that's what I was thinking of. Different per-request user-agent string => log compression out the window.

I hadn’t realized the background logo was scaling with the page width... and for some reason Discofox forgets to antialias it and ends up displaying a scrambled mess.

The state of the British National Power Grid
National Grid's assessment, made in its 2014/15 Winter Outlook report, is based on similar demand to last winter but a fall in supply, due to generators closing and breaking down, and new plants not coming online quickly enough to replace them.

Three members of the University of Northampton's Centre for the Study of Anomalous Psychological Processes (CSAPP) have successfully received funding from the Society for Psychical Research's (SPR) Survival Research Committee.
The award will fund several projects, including the archiving of paranormal research material kindly donated to the University from a second-hand book dealer in Leicester. The archival material contains reports, journals, correspondence, video tapes, slides, cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes on various aspects of parapsychological research, including ghosts, hauntings, spontaneous healing, and UFO sighting reports.

Might as well just burn the money.

More than potential, I'm sure.

Talk about a bad day. It's weird how it dropped so suddenly and more or less gracefully.

Will there be an XSS badge awarded to @RTapeLoadingError?
I have been awarded the badge.

Never would have made it to that guy's boat!

Yeah, I have seen commentary elsewhere to that effect.

Thanks. I still don't know what I did.
Looks like congrats also to @HardwareGeek and @aliceif for this one... Looking back, it was @HardwareGeek that actually put the iframe in a post, in response to your pullcord "Filed under" link. Still, you were the spark.
-
@HardwareGeek that actually put the iframe in a post
Yes, but as I said elsewhere, I didn't know that triggered a bug until the next morning, when it had already been filed on meta.d and a fix was in progress. We both got credit for it without even knowing there was anything to take credit for. Not that I'm complaining, mind; I like my badge.
-
Walking back the cat... @aliceif first noticed it was live in the expanded quotes, @boomzilla and @PJH took it to meta.d, where it was discussed in a civilized manner with Sam and quickly fixed.
-
Yes, and I flagged @aliceif and @HardwareGeek for the badge. Well, I wasn't sure if it should be xss or html.
-
Thank you, good sir. I figure it's my only chance to get that badge, since I don't actively try to break Discurse. (I find plenty of bugs without even trying.)

There are two types of people on this forum...

Accidentally posted some rather interesting characters that subsequently rendered in a way they shouldn't if
- They were quoted and
- That quote was expanded.
Well, I wasn't sure if it should be xss or html.
Ditto, which is why I asked Sam.

You could say that about half or more of what government funds.

IANARocket Scientist, but it looked to me like an engine exploded, which presumably took it below the level of thrust needed for launch. So long as attitude control remains sufficient to keep it pointy end up, that's pretty much what you'd expect to see.

Inside job. Definitely.

Nah, they at least usually get something indirectly done. This is a complete waste.

Yes, but how much of what government does turns out to be counterproductive, at least at the federal level?
-
Usually against itself, which is ironically productive.

Paying a lot for a ring and the wedding, apparently:
In this paper, we evaluate the association between wedding spending and marriage duration using data from a survey of over 3,000 ever-married persons in the United States. Controlling for a number of demographic and relationship characteristics, we find evidence that marriage duration is inversely associated with spending on the engagement ring and wedding ceremony.
-
Sorry dear, scientific evidence doesn't allow me to propose with anything other then the cheapest ring I could find.
That is going to work ...
-
Originally, my wife didn't want any sort of ring (we were poor college students at the time of our engagement). A week or so later we bought simple silver bands, and each wore one. I don't remember how much they cost, but I'd be surprised if they were more than $10-$20 each. Probably less. The wedding and etc had a budget of probably $6K.
17+ years later and still married. Sounds like solid research to me.
-
The ring is bupkis, I found it in a crackerjack box!

Pedantic dickweedery at the CDC.
“Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose or mouth of another person,” the [CDC] poster states.
...
“The CDC said it doesn’t spread at all by air, then Friday they came out with this poster,” she said. “They admit that these particles or droplets may land on objects such as doorknobs and that Ebola can be transmitted that way.”
-
Due to fears that people have over it, that is an important distinction to make (things claiming anyone that was on a plane with someone that had been nearish someone infected needs to be tested and so on). But people don't understand what is meant by air transmission, so a proper explanation of what it means should have been done.
