This is a just a thought, FWIW. I'm not volunteering to implement it. ;) If there was a way of indicating what you've actually read, poor Tsaukpaetra would not have to like everything. I think it would be of value to the rest of us also. The existing forum software makes a valiant attempt to bring you to the last read item in a forum, but it's difficult for it to figure out where you were when you respond to replies, etc.
Discourse, of course, needs no such button, because it remembers the read status of every single post and I have not ever experienced it making a mistake on that front.
I recommend you go to meta.d and tell them you love their product and are trying to get your favourite site,
what.thedailywtf.com
, to switch to it. -
RE: "Hacking" Teenager in trouble - for downloading public documents
Quite a few years ago, the new government budget leaked a few days before it was to be publicly announced because somebody tried the URL that contained last year's budget and incremented the year. There was much public uproar regarding security, and no hacking allegations.
The year after, it happened again. In the exact same way.

RE: Tales from Coronavee-rooss Italy, mamma mia!
@Rhywden Well, that'll stop Dutch travel agencies going "We don't see a 'no non-essential travel' as a reason to cancel your vacation".
Dutch PM this evening announced a general recommendation to stop shaking hands with others. At the end of the press conference, he shook hands with the head of the CDC, who co-presented with him...

Supermarket has to recall peeled walnuts. Reason: The label does not warn that the package may contain walnuts.

@rhywden Are they testing for teachers who don't pre-check the tests they put out?

RE: We need to be more user hostile to help them embrace freedom!
@hungrier Compare this with mac, where asking how to turn the light off, proverbially speaking, will get the fanboys tripping all over themselves to extol the virtues of sleeping with the lights on.

Atrocious injustices against the English language aside,
I find the best English is typically found in the works of those apologising for their English because they are not native speakers.

Ststus: Agreed with a post by Mason, and I only had two beers.
The end is nigh.My parents used to own something like this (probably still in the attic).
Supposedly, it would be passed around and everyone would take a gulp while the toe is pointing upward. Proceed until the inevitable happens.

RE: D&D thread
@Zerosquare I read an opinion years ago that being a successful raid leader in an MMO is valuable management experience and should be listed on your CV.

@Dragoon Actually don't recall if it was 1 or 2 that I played. Would have to go start up the game box to check the collection - downside of no physical boxes anymore.
It is indeed the second game which I've played.

RE: Programming Memes Thread
@remi External users gives you at least some professional doc-writing time you don't have to do yourself. Particularly on the new product internal docs are a mess. And confluence's search is barely better than nothing at all.

RE: Programming Memes Thread
@dkf Ah, so. I'd say including amen would be overdoing it. Would also increase the chance the target thinks I'm making fun of them. Which I am, of course, but I'm being helpful in the process.

@PleegWat cited in Programming Memes Thread:

Amen.
I couldn't be bothered to make up anything more specific and it was going to be hidden behind a quote expander anyway.

RE: Bad choice of font
@Arantor said in Bad choice of font:
There’s some bad ligatures attached to that for sure.
I rather think there aren't and that's the problem. Checking the site, it looks like all connectors are in the same vertical position, while in real cursive the position of the connector very much depends on which letters are being connected.

RE: In other news today...
@Applied-Mediocrity I read a commentary recently suggesting that BG3 did well despite, rather than because of, the D&D license. And that they were actually looking into a DLC and/or an expansion, but then asked themselves "Do we actually want to do this?"
I haven't played BG3, but I played D:OS which I enjoyed a lot, despite getting stranded halfway through and never finishing the game.
