RE: Composer Buttons Plugin
@boomzilla said in Composer Buttons Plugin:
internationalizable messages with plugins?
It's actually pretty easy:

RE: Configuration files are hard
%d xyztype is probably an anonymization typo
Correct, sorry about that. The rest of your analysis sounds plausible:
Program randomly crashes.
Just cast something!

CAST ALL THE THINGS!!! -
RE: I am TRWTF - compiler can't guess the keyword
braces and switch.
I don't think there's a reason, except to keep variables declared in each
case
separate. @Maciejasjmj seems to avoid that by declaring the variables once outside theswitch
, which seems ugly to me (variable declared too far away from where it is used). I avoid that by tying to do as little as possible in eachcase
.you will eventually get bitten by some variant of goto fail
For
if
, sure. I can't see any potential bugs happening inswitch
, though. Dammit, I'm agreeing with @loopback0! -
RE: Please stop poking holes in our cardboard security!
Wouldn't that be kiloaggressed? Or megagressed? A good milliaggression can do wonders sometimes...

RE: Deleting topic does not remove notifications for the topic
@fbmac said in Deleting topic does not remove notifications for the topic:
it isn't that hard to jeff things around, or just pass ownership from the topic to someone else
I've played around with the admin interface a bit. Jeffing things around is not easy, quick, or effortless. I could not find a way to change the owner of a topic or post (other than writing directly to the database, which again is not easy, quick, or effortless).

RE: Mobile UX gore
The composer buttons are spilling over to a second row. Maybe we can squeeze them back onto one row?
We have a del/ins button, so we don't really need a strikethrough button. It gets added by the Markdown plugin, so there's no way to disable it, but we can hide it:
/* hide the strikethrough button */ .formatting-bar .btn[data-format="strikethrough"] { display: none; }
And we can try to move the buttons closer together (don't want them too close, we still need to be able to tap them with a finger):
/* make buttons closer together */ .formatting-bar .btn { margin-right: -5px; }
That should hopefully let 8 buttons fit on one one row.

RE: US economy doing great, on account of everybody else being kind of fucked
@HardwareGeek said in US economy doing great, on account of everybody else being kind of fucked:
While it may not be achievable, there is, at least conceptually, a spot in the middle that is neither progressive nor regressive
I could be completely wrong (OK, I'm probably wrong), but I thought that's how Pennsylvania's state income tax worked: "Did you make over $minimum? If yes, hand over 3%. Otherwise, have a nice day."

RE: :wtf: How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread)
@Onyx said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
I wonder if there's a post where they claim it's revolutionary?
They kinda admit they borrowed the idea.
esoTalk/Flarum is an obvious inspiration here.

RE: The Official Status Thread
Status: I deleted a throw away post so that soon @Onyx will have posted this at #18,799.
But you got the real post #18800 (the newlevator is a lie), so why bother?

RE: Jeff on mayonnaise
Just one question though: if passwords can be longer than what your hash algorithm takes, what method would you use to select the substring (and repeat the same procedure when checking the password)?
The hash algorithm begins with some initial state. Then it runs the compression function on the first m characters. The output of this operation is the new initial state for the next operation. Then it runs the compression function on the next m characters, etc. If the input to the compression function is less than m characters, it gets padded according to some scheme.

RE: Jeff Atwood on security (blog post)
That said, I doubt I could stop myself from reporting issues when I find them
Oh, I sure can. On one hand, there are open source projects I use at work. I am happy to report bugs for these projects for free, because I benefit financially from those projects (indirectly).
On the other hand is Discourse. I'm not benefiting financially from using it, but Jeff is (indirectly). I feel no obligation to help him fix his bugs. Especially if I'm going to catch grief from him if I do.

RE: The Official Status Thread
You can recursively instantiate modules in Verilog (I designed a Karatsuba-Ofman multiplier this way), but I've never heard of recursively including C++ source files.

RE: Windows Server Nano
Much like Windows Server's Server Core installation option, it's designed to run headless, so it includes no GUI stack, local logon, or Remote Desktop support.

RE: 𝄯 Sharp Regrets: Top 10 Worst C# Features
>2 I want to destruct finalizers
Absolutely agree. These things never made sense to me. They should go away.
No developer should ever write one. The framework provides everything a developer should ever need with the
SafeHandle
class andDispose()
.Does C# even need finalizers? Probably. If you only used
SafeHandle
s, a finalizer would only ever run if an object went out of scope without being disposed. Without the finalizer, that resource would leak until the process ended.If something like
SafeHandle
was built into the language, we'd get the benefits of the finalizer without any developer screwing it up by trying to write their own. But what would that syntax look like? Inheriting fromSafeHandle
is pretty verbose even for simple resources. -

RE: Ransomware arseholes
Cryptowall uses AES
I heard differently.
Unlike CryptoLocker's use of a symmetric cipher, such as AES, to encrypt
bulk data, CryptoWall uses the RSA public key to directly encrypt files... using public/private key encryption with a strong 2048-bit RSA key.
You're not breaking 2048-bit RSA. The data is gone.

RE: Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems
@boomzilla said in Blakeyrat pointing out NodeBB problems:
max-width
That was literally the very first thing I did when I installed stylish. Blakey's right, it's ridiculously bad UX to have text blocks wider than that. This needs to be fixed in the core CSS, not just on our site. (I CBA to get a github account or I'd raise the issue myself.)
