I tend to close tabs when I don’t use them, so I rarely go over 10 or 15; I prefer native applications over web apps, maybe that helps.
I also started browsing the web when Firefox was called Netscape, tabs were called windows, and opening too many (read: 2 or 3) of them caused out-of-memory errors.

RE: Brazil is out!
There was once a search engine that not only had xkcd strips in it, but each specific 'My Hobby' strip was tagged as such meaning it was trivial to find them all.
Doesn’t entering "My Hobby" (with the quotes) on the xkcd.com search engine work?

RE: Just sharing a link to TRWTF for customer service
There are no onclick handlers for links, it listens for hashchange event and acts accordingly (it can handle multiple # characters to support anchors). It all works (within limits) with Javascript off.
Where am I on the evil scale?
I hope you check that hashchange actually works before changing the URLs... I’m also under the impression that hash changes are not always recorded in the browser history (or maybe the websites where I’ve seen this behavior were doing it wrong)
The best solution for this is probably to use an onclick handler and change the URL withhistory.pushState
. If that fails, just let the browser follow the link. -

RE: Hinduism Beta on StackExchange
The 50 days of being active is currently the biggest bottleneck.
Ah, for some reason I though it was “100 days or <number of days since your registration>, whichever is smaller”. Since the forum is not even 100 days old, that explains the relatively low number of Elders here.

RE: JavaScript regex-to-string conversion
It means I never have to think about whether I'm escaping this char because of the string or because of the regex or maybe I should double-escape that plus, or type three extra backslashes before a backslash or aaaaargh
I agree that
new RegExp("...")
is troublesome. Most scripting languages provide a way to define raw strings, which are not parsed for escape characters (r"..."
in Python,'...'
in PHP and Perl), but not JavaScript, AFAIK... -
JavaScript regex-to-string conversion
I was working on a Django-based website, and needed to get the URL for static content (images, etc) from JavaScript.
I added the lines<script> var static_url = {{STATIC_URL|escapejs}}; </script> <!-- other scripts needing static_url here ... -->``` in my Django template file. It seemed to work fine; the scripts generated correct URLs. Then I deployed the website on a dev server (instead of running it on my machine), and... things died horribly. I looked into the generated page and saw: ```html <script> var static_url = http://blahblablah/static/; </script>
OK, so I did a mistake in the template; the |escapejs filter escapes any quotes when substituting the template variable, but does not put the variable itself between quotes. I should have used
var static_url = "{{STATIC_URL|escapejs}}";``` But... *how did it work on my machine?* Well, on my machine, ```STATIC_URL``` was just the string “/static/”. So the JavaScript parser saw ```javascript var static_url = /static/;``` and interpreted it as a regular expression. And when the other JS code did things like ```var image_url = static_url + "some_image.png";```, the value was silently cast to the string “/static/” (with the slashes), so everything worked in the end. I was already convinced that JS’s ability to parse /something/ into a regex was a bad idea (mostly because /* is the start of a comment, so there may be some parsing confusion), but now...

RE: The official hack testing thread
What do you mean?
It's still properly fucked for me.
It still works in older posts (for now), but the relevant classes are now correctly stripped from the code tags.https://meta.discourse.org/t/classes-are-not-being-sanitized-in-cooked-markdown/17367/8

RE: Embedded madness
That sounds like there's limited stack space and they're trying to conserve it by allocating variables on the heap.
For most purposes, a static variable (either in a function or in the C file) will have the same effect as a global variable, except it will not result in silent conflicts with another variable with the same name.

RE: Hamburger Spacing Inconsistent
I thought font rendering technologies were advanced enough to prevent those things from happening. Is this what they call "hinting"?
Hinting means slightly deforming the character so its shape line up with the display pixels. If it has something to do with this uneven rendering, it’s probably the cause, not the solution.

RE: Level progression requires action from user
You compute the trust level on entry to the site (well, on establishment of the authenticated session, I'd presume) and cache that from there on?
I think it’s loaded every time your browser loads a new page, but with Discourse clicking on a link does not load a new page, it just replaces the relevant bits with AJAX loaded content. So refreshing the page should suffice to resync the user status (but it would be better to handle this automatically, maybe with a server-sent notification?)

Pretty much the same. The first computer I’ve used was a Power Mac 7200 (circa 1996). 32-bit, 1024x768x256 color screen, 16 MB of RAM (I think), internal 500MB hard drive, built-in CD-ROM drive, built-in Ethernet. Today’s kids could probably master it in seconds.
