Our useless open space is very important to our food supply.

I'm so, so sorry.
Pick one:
- That you're from Detroit.
- That you live in Dallas.
- All of the above.

@hardwaregeek is correct.
The judges would have also accepted "You don't think a neighborhood is really bad unless there are bars over the doors and windows".
-
@antiquarian Meh, barred doors and windows are fairly common around here, too, even in not-so-bad neighborhoods. OTOH, I see TV shows set in NYC where people have 3 or 4 or 5 locks on their door and think WTF?

I don't know anyone around here with bars on windows or doors.
On the other hand, when there is enough ice on it, it's a good protection

Went to Not Always Right to try and relieve some of the morning boredom at work before I had to start analyzing tickets and whatnot...when the hell did this "This is page #X you have viewed ads-free this week" shit start showing up?
Well, I've found what the limit is, it seems to be somewhere in the area of 50 pages you can view before they put up this to try and get you to either buy "ad-free credits" or turn off your adblocker:
And no, it doesn't continue on below that. It ONLY contains instructions for Adblock and Adblock Plus.
-
Ads allow us to pay the content creators of this site.
Aren't all the stories user-submitted, without any expectation of payment?
-
@hungrier Hence my confusion. I BELIEVE that this big block page is actually made by Google, since I clicked on the "Buy an ad removal pass" link earlier to see what crazy crap it entailed and it's apparently handled by something called Google Contributor, which operates on the following model (based on my location, obviously):
- You join the program and buy $5 USD worth of credit. This is tied to your Google account.
- Each page costs $0.01 USD, meaning you get 100 ad-free pages across participating sites per dollar you spend. (I cannot locate whether this per specific page, such as blah.com/about, or whether it's per pageload (so refreshing said about page would eat another credit))
- Whenever your balance dips below $1 USD, it auto-bills you another $5 USD to "top it up".

isabled elements prevent click events from being dispatched on the element:
Great; but
mousedown
andmouseup
events are notclick
events.Other way around...
click
is a mouse event. Right there under "Mouse Event Types", 4.3.4.2:
mouseup
andmousedown
may or may not work on disabled form elements:
@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
click
is just named awfully (natch; the W3C named it); it's not even a mouse event like the others. It's a form event.That's just plain wrong.
@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
This also means if an element is inside a disabled element, the event bubbling on it (for mouse events) will stop unexpectedly.
How is it "unexpected"? It sounds like the correct behavior.
I'm not sure if the spec says anything about whether
mouseup
andmousedown
should or shouldn't. If it's not in the spec, then it's up to the user agent to decide, and what they decided to do is not a bug.@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
Most of the time this bug was pissing me off, I had no control over the client's page. I was only able to install our heatmapping JS file. Which didn't work in Firefox, because it had all these random bald spots over disabled elements. Because of the fucking bug.
The CSS that I posted would've solved your problem. The
target
would never point to the disabled input element, but you'd be able to get the x, y coordinates at least.

FAKEEDIT: Also you can't add methods to an enum in C#?
Pretty sure you can add extension methods.
-
Status: Just found my entry for the OMGWTF2 contest. Please send brain bleach!
EDIT: I'm not even sure what this is supposed to do...
- Everything is in one giant recursive function that calls itself with some kind of enum and uses a switch statement to figure out what the function should actually do for that call.
- I see something about pulling tags from the old Community Server forum to use as an entropy source.
- There's an "EnterpriseConfig.xml" file which looks like most of its entities are options used by the parser to tell it how to parse the parser options from "EnterpriseConfig.xml".
- There's a hardware check that throws an exception if the system's processor count is less than 1.
- I think exceptions are sometimes raised on purpose just to execute normal program logic that is for some reason contained within a giant exception handler.
- There's a function that takes an integer, adds one to it, and returns the answer. It is hundreds of lines long and works entirely using string manipulation.
EDIT 2: I think my implementation was inspired by SSDS...

Yeah, every now and then it starts to stop heating up to the right temperature of 125 degrees, so I have to turn it down to 110 and then back up again (there iswas no "off" setting).
It beats having to brave the wilderness that is "the shop" in order to do so manually.If it wasn't an IoT piece of shit, you probably wouldn't need to do that
It does it regardless of whether it's connected to the IoT side or not. The IoT part just lets me fiddle it from anywhere.

@magus said in The Official Status Thread:
if you removed NYC, Chicago, and... I dunno, maybe LA from the country,
Didn't you just remove half of the population or something? If I remove half of I can make all our statistics look good too. According to the Flemish nationalist movement that is exactly what should be done anyway.
They tried that 100 years ago. Unfortunately, they mostly ended up with a lot of foreigners taking up permanent residence as part of the Underground, instead.

@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
the basic functionality
Status: Day 3 of writing in vue.js: The main interface buttons of "Automanage" "Kill" and "Kick" are all working, and appropriately toggle their state when updated in the app (since this is over the network, I ensure it's actually updated before updating it on the UI), including "refreshing" states for all the lists.
I even got the bottom "App Log" pull-up section to actually pull up by tying in the bar's height to an on-click toggle. Stupid stupid stupid.
Tomorrow will be actually implementing said log view and possibly even integrate the level instance log view as well inside it.
Poll: If presented this interface without instruction, does everything shown make sense so far?

This is better:
OpenID is dangerous because you're effectively making your server into a one-way open proxy. Although I guess the same could be said for iframely.

We're not that far. Since the app is WPF hosted on a vm in the cloud etc, it goes something like this:
- Call
GlobalFunctions.Log("My log string")
- Function raises a custom event with said string
- WPF main app window receives that event and appends it to the textbox. If it looks like the textbox was scrolled to the bottom, scroll to the bottom again.
- User logs into VM using Remote Desktop (possibly kicking prior user from the session)
- User Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C the textbox (hope your RDP client has clipboard sharing turned on!)
- User switches out and over to Hipchat
- User enters channel "Master Server Logs"
- User types
/code
and presses Ctrl-V, Enter
Profit?
