🌋⚡️🔥💥💢Request: please make a flamewars category coloured yellow, with red text.
-
Hmm. Discourse seems to have eaten my title edit. The edit log shows that I managed to change absolutely nothing. (Or is it a ninjamod edit?)
-
Could I have that in a sentence with words of one syllable or less please?
"I use big words to say the same things dopes would say"
-
@accalia, we need a @FlameBot
-
provide some sort of specs somewhere in the programmers testing area (or the bots testing sub area) and i'll consider it.
;-)
-
It's contingent on the new category being created, so we'll have to wait...
-
Looks to me like Tagger broke with an update. Swell.
-
That's one word for it.
-
First topic:
Go vs. node.js
-
I know we've all seen this, but yay (?) for Chromesistency:
-
two TL3+ can't agree on whether a thread should be in flamewars or not and that will probably start a flamewar....
If they can keep it to the thread in question - problem solved!

Figures that Mozilla's browser has the best fire support.

IE gets the icon right in both places, but it doesn't color it yellow.
-
Looks like @Vinduv edited the emoji out, so there's no way to verify, but I noticed that the IE icon seems to be the same as the firefox one, just without the color.
-
It is--I saw it earlier.

First topic:
Go vs. node.js
What are we going to argue about in regards to those two? Which is the greater solution looking for a problem?
-
Go, definetly.
NodeJS is just taking an existing language and saying "let's see how far we can run with this, because we CAN"
-
Yeah, I am all out of jokes for the day. My brain is scrambled for the day. My boys have to get better because this bullshit of me actually having to work is for the birds.
-
may your team be fit as a fiddle and driving you up the wall in no time.
however, i wasn't joking.
NodeJS really is just "hey we have Javascript already.... what can we make it do?"
maybe not officially, but officially is only part of the story. ;-)
-
Yeah, when I first heard about it my initial thought was, "WTF would you use that for?"
Then I did a few Google searches and found out about LinkedIn using it and no questions had been answered. I still have no fucking clue why I would use it instead of alternatives.
-
You know, except for making bots. ;)
-
I thought the purpose of Node was to let your front-end designers write your back end code.
-
Note that you don’t need parentheses around conditions in Go, but that the brackets are required.
if 8%4 == 0 { fmt.Println("8 is divisible by 4") }
This one fact is enough to give Go my full support in this fight.

Remember, Node is cancer.

NodeJS is just taking an existing language
But at least it's a language. Go is an ad-hoc pile of features cobbled together. It has some nice ideas, but then instead of adding generic features and building the standard library on them it adds high-level concepts — dynamic arrays, hash map, message queues, … — separately. So you can have statically typed hash map, but if you need a search tree (because you need it sorted), you have to do with dynamic typing. I am not going to take that “language” seriously.

Seems plausible, how hard can it be?
-
Back on-topic, the flamewars category also needs a CSS-styled background with flames and hell and stuff. Feel free to screenshot the Nether on my Minecraft server.
Or maybe an image of WWI infantry clearing a room with a flamethrower.

Looks like @Vinduv edited the emoji out
No, in fact I added it again, but it keeps disappearing after a few minutes/hours. Not sure why...
-
-
>a plague on both your houses
There, done.
Great, now someone's going to argue using both, just to be contrary.

I don't know, but I'd like to congratulate whoever edited the title, because they found an emoji that Chrome won't display in the body AND the title. Volcano Lightning Box Explosion Angry Vein.
-
INB4 "watch out for Lightning Box".
-
I still get the X boxes in message title, 2X boxes in window title.

Browser? IE displays 5 emoji in the title bar and in the browser window; Chrome shows 5 boxes in the body, 4 emoji...no, wait, 5 emoji and a box in the tab. Wha...? Good job, whoever did that, you broke Chrome!
-
Chrome
-
Interesting. Which emoji are you missing? In order, they're volcano, lightning bolt, fire, explosion (?), popping forehead vein.
-
All of them.
-
Guess you need to upgrade to Windows One Two Minus One Point 9.
-
Out of my hands.

Out of my hands.
Nonsense, just convince someone you need a copy to test something and make sure it works for customers. That's literally what I did, only I said "they'll need to know and we should try it out before any of them buy a new computer with 8."
-
I can't control my motivation.
-
Weird because wasn't fire showing for you earlier?
-
Chromesistency. Shown in 3 places, and different in every 1 of them.

-
5 boxes below, 5 emoji and a box above. I think it was that way before, too, but I didn't realize the discrepancy. I double-checked and there's only 5 symbols in IE, in both places.
There! Are! Four! Lights! (or whatever)
-

It irritates me to no end that they (more or less) get it right in the tab, but not in the body of the page! That's a special kind of stupid.

Are you using 32-bit Windows? I don't know how that would matter; it's probably that it's an older version of Windows.
-
Nope, 64-bit
