Spot the problem
-
So I just made my MarvinBot thread.
Clicked on a thread at the bottom. Title changed and...
Click another...
More weird, when I went back to the front page, it had noticed I'd been to those threads since I had grey circles.

Nice job Dicsourse!

The real problem is that you have an unread message you are not responding to but instead clicking on random links below your topic!

Yes, PMs are important. The thing is, I know that PM requires a little more time and energy than I can give it just right now.

So you still haven't read it? What if it's a damsel in distress? What if it is @ben_lubar wanting to play DF with you? What if.... I don't know .... I can't think of any reason why anybody would send you an important PM. Oh, wait, maybe it's from Jeff, asking for your help on Discourse!!!

I know who it is from and I know what it is about, I just want to give it the time and attention it deserves.
And no, Jeff wouldn't dare ask for advice from me because I have developed one of those toxic hellstew 1990s era PHP forums, and therefore nothing I have to say is of any relevance whatsoever.

mmh, toxic hellstew

and yet you keep posting in the Bug-category! (without even paging @Matches)Also, I figured you would know about the PM (or at least glance at it). I am just trying to derail this topic to keep myself from learning for tomorrows exam.

Just because I post it in the Bugs category does not in any way mean Jeff actually gives a fuck about it.

Damn, you got me there!

Is that with an Austrian accent?

Sure, if it helps you get to da choppa!
Filed Under: Austrian Accent should not be that far from German accent anyway. | Fun Fact: I wanted to quote Pink Panther here but I found out that the quote I wanted to use doesn't exist in English... damn!

I don't understand why UI actions aren't wrapped in a transaction, like DB actions.
It's obviously trying to update a lot of elements, and fails and updating some, although some succeed, leaving you with a mixed state of updates. This is truly worse than failure.

Probably because making some UI actions reversible is quite hard. Doubly so if you don't want to hang onto the memory forever.

The architecture would have to be different, but it would be similar.
I assume that it's currently like this (listed in a very linear fashion compared to the asynchronous jumble that is actually occurring):
GetText1 ReplaceText1 GetText2 ReplaceText2 GetText3 ReplaceText3
When it should be:
GetText1 GetText2 GetText3 ReplaceText1 ReplaceText2 ReplaceText3
And perform none of the replaces unless all of the gets succeed. If a replace fails, then it would be in a mixed state, but that methodology is still better than what we have here.

I think Firefox (and possibly IE) actually did this at one point, as long as you hadn't exited your JS function, your DOM changes were all (for all practical purpose) transacted. Your function ends, and all the DOM changes are made all at once.
But I'm guessing that even if that is still the case, the super-trendy JS libraries in-use here contain no sensible procedural code whatsoever.

The vast majority of JS appears to be written by drooling fuck-monkeys. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Except in open source, apparently.

Bash is not open source. It's Free Software.

Because "Free Software" is a really stupid name

It is also very sucky to be 2/3 the name of a church, run by a heretic zealot.

I have had long, and very unenlightening, discussions with GPL adherents who were arguing the exact point I made up-thread. It's time to put the boot well and truly on the other metaphor.
-
Oh, I've had enough of the rabid tea-bag munching brigade too. In fact that was the subject of my very first posts on meta.d, about their plan to be GPL, but at the same time have paid plans for things.
