@dkf Windows 10 update topics are and

“I see that you are busy doing something full screen. Well fuck you, I'm gonna reboot NOW. Bwahahahahhaaaa!”
Something something see the Windows 10 thread where all the victims get blamed for apparently ignoring notifications that never appear something something blah.

@loopback0 It wasn't Windows 10, but rather Windows 7. I'm gonna replace the hardware in the next month or so, but I just wanted to play a bit before getting some sleep, not sit through some dumb reboot. (There's a weird bug in the hardware enumerator which makes it take F.O.R.E.V.E.R. but I'm blaming the motherboard maker for that.)
-
@dkf said in The Official Status Thread:

Oh, well I'm sure there's bitching about Windows 7 too in at least one of those topics.
-
Status: Oh yeah. This is why I fucking hate Javascript, HTML, and web development in general.
gl.js lines 1 and 2:
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var gl = canvas.getContext("experimental-webgl");Which implies 'canvas' is null. Did they fucking change how getElementbyId works?

Is it an ASUS? I think my MB is busted because it keeps hanging up on the hard drives.

@Weng Or the
<canvas>
tag is injected by some other piece of JavaShit, which runs AFTER gl.jsSo when your gl.js script runs, the canvas tag doesn't exist.
But once you open the JavaShit inspector and look at the HTML, the canvas tag IS there.

@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:

Probably this. I just smacked a
canvas
element into this page in face, and(document.getElementById("canvas")).getContext("experimental-webgl")
worked just fine...
-
@Weng
var canvas = document.getElementsByTagName("canvas")[0];
doesn't work either?Fuck it. I'm not smart enough for the web.
-
@Weng SINCE THE FUCK WHEN DO WEB BROWSERS START EXECUTING JAVASCRIPT BEFORE THE FUCKING BODY IS PARSED AND THE DOM BUILT? JESUS FUCK. (probably always have, but I am particularly not fond of how completely counterintuitive it is)
-
@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:

Just a second ago, which is why they invented the
document.DOMContentLoaded
event thing (IIRC) or jQuery's hip emulation of it$(document).ready()
-
@Lorne-Kates Actually I was referencing gl.js in the header, because, hey, that seems like a sensible place to put scripts!
NOPE, better tie that fucker to an event!@
-
Javascript! Because Maybe, Sometime. Meh.
-
@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:
in the header, because, hey, that seems like a sensible place to put scripts that you want available ASAP!
FTFY. Before events, it was common to place your "I want this JS to run when the DOM is mostly ready" at the bottom of the html.
-
@blakeyrat Almost done a small bottle of Glenfiddich. Bought it because I remember you said Glen something but it turns out every whiskey is called Glen something.
It was good. It was like acidic paintthinner with a smooth woody taste that didn't completely make me regret every life decision up to this point.
Would buy again, but I'm also testing out various other "higher end" brands. What's the Glen you were drinking earlier?
-
@Lorne-Kates Given this is my POCing @blakeyrat 's "hey asshole, you're overthinking the problem" solution to this:
https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/19935/how-the-hell-do-i-stream-video
and apparently I am way too dumb for Web 2.0, nevermind Web 54.47473rev3 beta I'm thinking I should go back to the insanely complex solution I initially dreamed up, because at least that uses technologies designed in the dark ages by neanderthals like myself rather than pristine, modern, perfect Javascript.

@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:
Web 54.47473rev3 beta
I work with this shit every day and still can't make it work half the time.
CSS: Because Putting Stuff Next To Other Stuff Is Hard
-
@Lorne-Kates Yeah. I could have achieved the exact same visualization by shoving colored divs around with CSS, but I figure drawing fucking boxes myself is a lot less failure prone.

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

Gigabyte. I don't plan to work out what's wrong; I plan to replace the whole system.

If your script is included before the DOM element, it executes before the DOM element is in the DOM.

@Lorne-Kates The only other "Glen" I know I've purchased before was Glenmorangie.
EDIT: oh perhaps Glenlivet? I drink that pretty often now that I think about it.

Glenlivet, that's the one. Will try. Thanks.

"Tsauk" (which for some reason people pronounce like "Tsawk")...
You should ask, in the future, how they pronounce the dragon from The Hobbit. I bet they say it "Smog" and not "Smowg".
-
@blakeyrat Proof of Concept.
Apparently if I include a Javascript (library) file in the header, I ALSO cannot guarantee that it has actually executed by the time a script included at the bottom of the fucking body executes?
AND I can't guarantee it has executed by the time the body's onload executes even though the library is included BEFORE the script I'm actually fucking running in the event?
What the cunting fucknugget! Apparently I need to use a fucking 'dependency framework' in order to fucking have dependencies? The web is trash. Forever. You all ruined it while I was looking away for 8 years. Congratulations. I hope you're fucking happy.
-
@Weng Why don't you just write an desktop app? That wasn't outside of your requirements-as-provided.
-
@blakeyrat Ultimately the user end of things has to be in a web browser somehow or some way, because WtfCorp is obsessed with SHINY WEB FUTURE FUTURE YAY! and this literally exists not to be useful in and of itself but to be a very impressive looking SHINY FUTURE FUTURE YAY! toy that, if actually observed carefully, might actually impart some level of wisdom and knowledge (mostly "Wengs system is not the problem stop fucking screaming at me")
But dropping an off the shelf streaming video client onto a webpage should be within my idiot capabilities.

@Weng Then get your credit card ready with that LiveStream.com account.

That's why you can define custom events. Rule #1 of modern Javascript: Always tie your code to some event.
-
@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:

Wait, that doesn't sound correct. Are you sure that you didn't make a mistake somewhere?

Tell that to the guys (*cough*HP*cough*) who wrote the OS X driver for our office scanner. It uses 100% of one of the cores just to continuously check whether someone has pressed a button on the scanner. Worst driver I've ever seen.

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
shorten my name just say "Tsauk" (which for some reason people pronounce like "Tsawk").
is "tsaukpaetra" supposed to be pronounceable? and is it your real name? like, in documents and etc?

Yes.

Actually... Kinda? It's complicated (or, at least, I will make it complicated in order to avoid doxing myself. :P)

@Rhywden give boys a ball and send them off to play something, while you grope and perv on the girls. Thats what our gym teachers usually did, its easy.

Status: Windows 10 randomly decided that I no longer want to see the volume slider when hitting volume keys. Nice, under normal circumstances (and the Internet seems to agree), but in this case I actually want it to pop up! Same with the media keys, those stopped working entirely...
Come one, Windows, I had one job for you this time, and you fscked even that up!

@Tsaukpaetra I've always pronounced it "salt pepper"
What is it with people on this forum having names like Maciejasjmj, Yamikuronue, and Tsaukpaetra? Were all the shorter names taken? Is it a problem that I own both ben_lubar and Ben L.?

No, but I can almost guarantee that the only idiot who would ever register Tsaukpaetra as a nick/username is me. It is rather unique for some reason...
