look drawing straight lines with a mouse in paint is HARD!
Have you tried holding Shift while drawing lines?
no. do you think that would work? i was using the line tool so i didn't have to worry about wiggle.... does shift make paint snap to vertical/horizontal?

@accalia said in TIL (about the Dark Arts of HTML):
does shift make paint snap to vertical/horizontal?
Yes, it does. I just tried it.
I'm sure I won't remember it next time I use paint, in 10 years.
-
@accalia for the line tool, yes. For the brush tool it does not.

Yes, unless you're closer to one of the 45° slopes. Then it'll snap there instead.

You're not entirely wrong.

His walk is nowhere near that straight. It needs to have lots of little aimless loops in it for all the pointless bikeshedding, and never really get anywhere.

It's a poor man's whisper since I gather mods can see it
Seems better than whispers, since there's no record of this being exposed like whispers

https://www.rfk.id.au/blog/entry/pypy-js-faster-than-cpython/resources/pystone-cpy-ff-chrome-ff2-pypy.pngI already knew CPython was slow, but I didn't know it was that slow.
-
OK, I couldn't resist that title but it probably goes a bit far. Let me try for a little more nuance:
PyPy.js: Now faster than CPython, on a single carefully-tuned benchmark, after JIT warmup.
It doesn't alter the fact that CPython is slow

<aliceif> a few days ago i learnt that the green tree thing in the ubiquitous signature regarding printing and environment <aliceif> is actually a character in webdings
Code as seen in those E-Mails:
<font color="#009900" face="Webdings" size="4">P</font> <font color="#009900" face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="2"> <strong>Please consider the environment before printing this email</strong></font>

They both copy (as in "right-click, click 'Copy Link Location'/'Copy link address'") as http://158.69.225.103/ in both Firefox and Chrome.

Yeah, red is too aggressive. Make it blue!

@Zecc yes... link addresses are converted to a normalized form. Both of them are legal URLs, and
0x9E45E167
and2655379815
(they're the same number) encode a 32-bit IP address, 148.69.255.103, so that's where the link actually points. (From the hexadecimal notation, it's 8 digits, and you can decode each 2 digits separately: 0x9E = 148, 0x45 = 69, etc.)It's basically the same as how http://✪df.ws/ actually results in
http://xn--df-oiy.ws/
(go ahead, try copying it). The browser puts it into normalized form. (That domain is a redirect todaringfireball.net
, in case you wondered.)Another good example (and fitting, considering the thread we're in) is http://google.com/ (yes, it redirects toNever mind; that seems to be something entirely different...http://google.com/
... you didn't think Google would let that one slide under the radar and get captured by some scammer, did you?).

Strangely enough, various whois services get quite a bit confused when you try to look it up.
-
@Maciejasjmj ...hm, for some reason that one does do that. The other link works as expected, though.
The google.com link literally only works when you paste that (as in the characters themselves, not what the URL shows up as) into the address bar. Clicking the link or copying and pasting it don't work. I think it's treating full-width characters as their Latin equivalent before it even does any Unicode translation. But they don't work inside links at all, which is kind of a ...

Or it could stay red, but use blue ink. In the shape of a kitten.

Well, since it represents Discourse, I modernized the design.
There, clean and modern!

On second thought, we don't really need the line anyway. Let's just get rid of it.

@izzion also, it needs to have seven lines all of them strictly perpendicular in the background
