What are the rules for valid TLDs though?
If you're checking anything more than 'at least two letters', you're
Can't you just use a library?
The solution would be a TLD CDN.

Yes, I would really like to save my work
IDA is so full of WTF, it deserves it's own category. Exhibit A is the "Save database" dialog that pops up when you want to quit (there's a post around here about that, but I can't Discofind it).
Today's episode started when I made the mistake of trying to open the Functions window. I get this message:
So you would think that clicking OK would take me back to the main window so I could save my work, right? Wrong. The error message immediately pops back up. I clicked OK about 20 times, it still keeps coming back.
I guess I won't be saving my work.

Or, you know, you could start out with propTab or C# autoproperties rather than field access in the first place, because other than P/Invoke structs why on earth would you have nonprivate fields?!
struct Point { int x; int y; }
This code is so ugly, it makes me sick! You can't just pass integers around and use them like that! You have to define a setter, a getter, 3 constructors, a destructor, and a handful of operator overloads, then it will be clear and readable.
Constuctors?!?! You monster! This clearly calls for an AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean.

STATUS reacquainting myself with the pearls of not being able to name shit correctly. I have to go into every folder called "temp", "something" or "asdfasdkfjalkjsdflkajsdklf" to make sure nothing valuable is in there.
We have a guy who keeps putting important files in "New Folder".

RE: Why can't browsers get Speed Dial right?
@fbmac said in Why can't browsers get Speed Dial right?:
@anonymous234 it maybe not what Google want, but every fucking site loves to show a "install our app" message
USA Today is the worst (INB4 I'm the worst for reading USA Today). Their app takes you to web pages that ask you to install the app.

#include "filename.cpp"

RE: Net neutrality non-neutrality

You have an example of an ISP innovating to reduce cost to their customers.
You also have an example of an ISP giving preferential access to one messaging platform, which harms competition and stifles innovation in the area of messaging platforms.

RE: Car manufacturer underestimates demand, dealerships tack on massive markup, car manufacturer responds by halting sales.
I guess you could say that the dealerships drive a hard bargain.
Or that they need to put the brakes on this behavior. Or that they're steering customers in the wrong direction. Or that they're just part of the engine of capitalism.

Whoa, I was spamming Page Down through the original thread while these posts were being jeffed. I got to the last post that didn't get jeffed, and Discourse wouldn't let me see anything below the post. As in no buttons, no suggested topics, and clicking the blueleveator did nothing. Had to hard-refresh to see the jeffening.

New Articles Category
I miss the old Articles category. I understand @apapadimoulis doesn't want two comment threads for each article, but I think it would be nice to at least have links to the articles from the forum.
I started a NodeBB plugin that pulls links from the front page RSS feed and posts them to the forum. They go in a category that only admin, mods, authors, and PaulaBean can post to.
Would anyone else like to see something like this?

loop, so he'd declarei
at the top of the function and use it in the loop. Then he'd need anotherfor

RE: :fr: Elevator Action in Cleveland
My cousin goes on a cruise ship every year. The ship he usually goes on divides everyone at dinner into three teams to have dumb competitions. The first year he went, the teams were called "red", "white", and "blue". My cousin happened to be on the "white" team. Every time his team won a competition, he got the entire team to chant "white power! white power!"
The next year, the teams were called "one", "two", and "three".

RE: The Official Status Thread
Status went to a benefit concert last night called "Be Loud '16". I realized when I got there that I had no idea who was benefiting from the concert. So I pull out my (Android) phone, bring up Google Now, type "be loud", and hit enter. Instead of giving me search results, it turned up my phone's volume all the way.

RE: Kind of a cool app ...
@bb36e said in Kind of a cool app ...:
after using my credit card everywhere my signature deteriorated into a wiggly line
It's even worse now where I live, a lot of businesses are using iPads running square instead of a traditional POS. (INB4 iPads are a POS.) Drawing my signature with my finger on a tablet or phone is basically impossible, so wiggly line it is. My wife is really tempted to start drawing penises on those things...

RE: The Cooking Thread
My wife and I both love to cook, but for some reason she can't stand going to the grocery store. She wanted to try Blue Apron, I didn't want to try it, so we compromised: we're trying Blue Apron. The first meal was fantastic, cooking it together was fun, and we already can't wait for the next meal. So I guess I'm a Blue Apron customer now.
