Also, we're gonna need to slow down to let the year catch up with us.

RE: βπ THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
I think it stands for Ben Didn't Get It.

RE: π The Evil Ideas thread
Actually, that's just the emoji GitHub released. For once the blame isn't on Discourse.

RE: Javascript gotchas thread
It was never a part of Go. You may be thinking of an example somewhere in the Go documentation where they said something along the lines of "this expression has the precedence that its spacing would imply".

RE: Javascript gotchas thread
The whitespace is just there for humans. You can put spaces between whatever you want.
Click "format" for the canonical whitespace.

RE: βπ THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
This is unrelated, but as good a place as any to ask. Why does your avatar only have one leg?

RE: πΉ Blakeyrat's Videos Thread (Robots in the News et al.)
I've never had an external drive last 3 years, but I've had internal drives last quite a while. No idea why that is.

RE: Title is required *little wiggle*
Why is mommy wearing a skirt? Does she have somewhere fancy to go?
-
RE: Title is required *little wiggle*
I love the idea of shipping a required update where the only thing that changed was the installer.
-
RE: Title is required *little wiggle*
Whoa, they reduced the installer size by 30MB. And they released an update so everyone can get the reduced-size instal--
wait.

RE: Genuinely Useful Bug Reports
My guess is that they are actually appending 3 periods (instead of using the ellipsis character), and setting the title area to "overflow: hide" in CSS or whatever that option is to make the browser just cut-off stuff that extends beyond the rectangle.
.extra-info-wrapper .topic-link { color: #333; display: block; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; }

RE: Var x = document.getElementById("MainContent").style; x.backgroundImage = "url('http://i.imgur.com/2eODocT.png')"; x.backgroundSize = "100%";</script>
To be fair, this thread isn't about a vulnerability in Discourse.

RE: Genuinely Useful Bug Reports
Wait, I only count two now.
Where's the third one?

RE: ToS for a game from 1999
Veering violently back on topic for a moment, I really want to have some terms of service for something that contains the text
YELLING AT YOU IN ALL CAPS
and
@morbiuswilters should be a @moderator again

This video seems like a normal crazy person video, right?

RE: Discourse quirks
This is normal markdown behavior. Move along.
No it isn't. It's the special Discoursedown variant.

RE: Var x = document.getElementById("MainContent").style; x.backgroundImage = "url('http://i.imgur.com/2eODocT.png')"; x.backgroundSize = "100%";</script>
Worse, because at least the burns avatars are differentiable.

RE: NewsBlur is broken at the moment, GIVE ME SOME LINKZ!!!!!
Body is too similar to what you recently posted
-
RE: Poll: let's choose a TDWTF superhero name
Is barrier man a safety feature or health hazard on a railroad?
My theory is it's safe if you're out, trying to get in - but dangerous if you're in, trying to get out.
If he's on the tracks, he's a safety hazard for everyone involved.

RE: The Home Stretch
I would just like to point out in the middle of this long sequence of blank posts that... Blakeyrat's Second Law strikes yet again.
What is @blakeyrat's second law, again? "Discourse is always brokener than you thought"?

Survey says no.

What the fuck is going on?
If I put this line in my post, it works @Arantor

RE: Var x = document.getElementById("MainContent").style; x.backgroundImage = "url('http://i.imgur.com/2eODocT.png')"; x.backgroundSize = "100%";</script>
I've come from an environment where users do stupid shit all the time and if the content wasn't pre-sanitised they would get into such a mess.
Oh, right, PHP.

RE: Ermahgerd goto
Didn't Jeff say that quoting breaking everything was by design?
-
RE: Var x = document.getElementById("MainContent").style; x.backgroundImage = "url('http://i.imgur.com/2eODocT.png')"; x.backgroundSize = "100%";</script>
I get where you're coming from, but I'm not convinced it's the best policy to go that way. I've just seen too many instances of 'we'll cover it in the front end' go horribly wrong.
Why can't the templating engine handle that?
-
RE: Javascript gotchas thread
That's not valid code.
xy.c:3:19: error: invalid operands to binary & (have βintβ and βint *β) printf("%d\n", x & (&y));
Ok, so C is slightly less bad than I remember.
-
RE: Javascript gotchas thread
x && y
should just bex & (&y)
. That'd save everyone some confusion. -
RE: "Just supply a PR"
Can someone explain how we got to Harry Potter slash fiction from git pull requests?
