RE: The Fox Ideas Thread
I thought you were supposed to have cute foxes - those baby non-red foxes are just creepy...
(EDIT) Pasting images from GIS isn't that easy. I'll just lazily leave the link as-is under threat of wrath from accalia.

RE: Excel is hard. Actually, no, coding is hard.
Couldn't you implement dynamic_cast via a bunch of enums & comparison logic hand-coded to match the (also hand-coded) inheritance structure? (+ a class ID in the hand-coded vtable).
I know that the itanium ABI implements dynamic_cast via a horridly complicated traverse over a tree of class infos saved in the binary, but is that really required?
After all the input is an object with a class ID in the vtable, and a class ID to compare against. Each class ID has a fixed set of class ID it can dynamically be cast to, so can't a "trivial" (potentially huge) double-switch statement suffice?(In the multiple & virtual inheritance case, you would also need to adjust the object pointer or do whatever dark magic your manual multiple & virtual inheritance implementation needs)
EDIT: Granted, the Itanium ABI's dynamic_cast handling is only horrendously complicated once multiple & virtual inheritance (gag) come to play. If you're only using single inheritance, you could trivially traverse a simple hand-made tree structure represnting the classes as well.

RE: 🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
But it was a hidden test of character all along.
The Yes-No-Yes-No pattern labels you a SJW3
The No-Yes-No-Yes pattern labels you a 'murican
Other patterns label you an indecisive dolt.Also, nice use of the deathcourse list numbering bug.

RE: The thread of movie titles and absence of badges. In previous episodes, it was signs you're getting older, chiropractic vs. medicine, atheism vs. Mormonism and religion vs. science with no existentialism nor philosophy thrown in
Maybe you spent less time crying over others, others would have less reason to cry over you?

RE: Gotta make sure it's not invalid
Let's do another comparison
if (foo) { // things if (bar) ...... } return ......;
vs.
if (!foo) return false; //things if (!bar) return false; if (baz) { // stuff return true; } else { // other return false; }
Huh! The single-return version looks much better suddenly!

RE: alloca() is hard...
That's pretty typical c boilerplate to account for differences in various platforms. I've seen worse.
It sounds like the person just replaced the only-sometimes-supported alloca with malloc/free, hooray for the lowest common denominator -
RE: He Touched Us All
We need an apostrophe in that.
I literally care nothing about english or about grammering it or spilling it correctly. But I care about apostrophes. They're important to me.
And since I put the above in visible small, you really have no excuse for not seeing it. -

RE: TypeScript project
Looks like that windows issue - some winapis randomly fail sometimes and you should retry them again and again until they succeed in the hopes that whatever is locking up the file/directory will go away (or. if it doesn't, fail with an error and have everyone blame you instead of windows).
(No, this is not at all specific to npm)In short, retry the operation and have better luck this time.

RE: Time keeps on breaking, breaking, breaking...
@cheong said in Time keeps on breaking, breaking, breaking...:
While we're talking about things to change, may I also suggest changing document.querySelectorAll(".post-tools").forEach( in nodebb.min.js to $(".post-tools").each( just to support older browsers?
It don't work on IE11, not sure about other browsers.
Those willy web-sub-standards.
You can alternatively just smack a polyfill on it, though, no? -
RE: Blakeyrat's JavaScript Is Rusty Thread

RE: Empty post glitch
I was really confused for a while when I heard about javascript implementations of less and how inefficient or whatever they were. I was flabbergasted. Then I learned that it was some kind of CSS bullshit instead of
a useful utilitycommand line bullshit and the world made sense again

RE: Poll: Circular Avatars
"WYSIWYG editor" implies that what you see is what you get - and I don't mean see in the preview window. (Not that that would've helped, given the quality of dohscourse preview)

RE: Empty post glitch
It's not cool to use firefox anymore, don't you know?
I'd do the low effort thing and switch to the cool browser, but - as I've expanded upon multiple times (sometimes even in places people would look!), it's an uncustomizable, awful-by-default, popup-ridden-by-design piece of coolkidware. -

RE: If my post is moved to a topic I don't have access, I get said topic's name revealed
Perhaps PJH has renamed the topic before moving it? In that case, no privileged information would be revealed.
Or was it a single rename/move operation ala posix ?

RE: Judge my JSON documentation
@anotherusername That's only if it doesn't barf on comments because it execs it.
If it doesn't barf on comments because it specifically handles them as an extension to the json spec, then it's just doing the world a favor.

RE: Someone quote me
@Yamikuronue Yes, firefox. The alternative is giving in to the chrome brainworm and having unwanted UI shoved down my throat. But your post didn't crash me, odd. The previous two times, someone posted to a thread I had open just as the crash occurred.

RE: Hahah it's still shit
The icon for hiding the reply window is a red (+)?
I can't parse what a red (+) could even mean in general! Add something while breaking something else?
The damned thing ends up being more visible than both the submit and discard button despite being far less used.Also, I might've been spoiled by Discourse(!) on this one, but there's no image copy/paste? And you have to upload images separately?!
Honestly, Discourse ended up not half bad, performance aside.
It's too early for me to decide whether I like this more or less the Discourse, but it's definitely not a night and day difference here.

RE: The Official Status Thread
@aliceif It's the same obnoxious remark every time for each user, adding no new information and getting in the way of the text.
Unless you're manually typing them up and personalizing them for each post, signatures are a waste of space, whether screen long gifs or single lines. -
RE: Pressure to upgrade to Windows 10 ratchets up. AGAIN.
@Tsaukpaetra said in Pressure to upgrade to Windows 10 ratchets up. AGAIN.:
Isn't that the new thing? I heard about an article that says a chip can be made that generates approximate results so much faster than typical, and these results wouldn't matter too much in graphics processing (for some reason) so... Profit?
They wouldn't matter 99.99% of the time and break everything horribly for the remaining 0.01%

RE: Python 3 angst 2016 edition
@RaceProUK
IIRC, the Python "VM" changes with each version of python, so it can only ever run one version. It's not a general-purpose VM like Java.Yes, it would've been better if I could have a python 3.4 script interacting with a python 2.7 script and maybe a python 2.3 script - this way we could switch to python 3 on a script basis, not on an environment basis.
However, while this is possible, let's face it - it really is a hell of a lot of work to design and maintain.

RE: What are the rules for sockpuppets here?
Plus, even "ha ha, you don't know who I am" accounts (you know who you are) generally have their secret identity respected by the admins. The trick is not doing anything objectively annoying repeatedly.
And if you want to hide your account split from the admins too, you'd have to do whatever it is that would make that happen. (proxy? the tors? I'm not a network expert)

RE: Nemerle, anyone?
That's what we need! A C# like language with perl features!
No need any longer - C# will now have string interpolation built in:
// C# 6 Log.Information($$"Logged in {loggedInUserId}");
You are free to 180° your opinion on string interpolation now.

RE: Moar NodeBB undocumented confusing UI idiocy
@anotherusername said in Moar NodeBB undocumented confusing UI idiocy:
But for a button which also displays the current state, describing the other state is confusing, even if clicking it takes you to the other state.
I really don't get what's confusing about it. (leaving aside the unrelated watch/ignore confusion, which probably stems from the naively worded toaster message)
You have a button that does what it says when you click on it. Once clicked, it's replaced by a button that also does what it says on it when clicked.
The button does not and is not meant to describe the current 'watched' state of the thread - it's a button, not a checkbox. -
