MS Bob is Microsoft's second biggest fail. The first one was edlin

Yi Jiang

> Edlin was created by Tim Paterson in two weeks in 1980, and was expected to have a six-month shelf life.

Huh...

drachenstern

lol

yay "tools that only I need to just get this done right now"!

Tim Post

Edlin

Edlin is a line editor included with MS-DOS and later Microsoft operating systems. It provides rudimentary capabilities for editing plain text files through a command-driven interface. Line numbers are specified using numerals, and operations are specified using single-character alphabetic commands (e.g. "5d" instructs the program to delete the 5th line of the file). It was the only text editor provided with MS-DOS before version 5.0 of that system, when it was superseded by the full screen MS-DOS Editor. It was removed in version 6. However, Edlin is included in 32-bit versions of Win...

Yi Jiang

@TimPost Well, it can't be worse than notepad, can it...?

Tim Post

@YiJiang Yes, it can.

Much like the UNIX 'ed' - somehow it just lingered, like the smell of sulpher after you strike a match

@YiJiang If you have an XP system laying around, fire up a command prompt and type 'edlin foo.txt'.

12:35 AM

@TimPost I've used edlin. It was marginally easier than copy con file.txt - therefore, it had utility. I'm really not sure that Bob served a purpose...

Tim Post

12:47 AM

@Shog9 I think Bob's purpose was more romantic. I believe Bill Gates put his (then) bride to be in charge of it

Shog9

Oh, good point...

Well, I gotta concede - business time beats text-file creation when it comes to software utility.

I have come to realize tonight, when editing a file in a text editor to send it back to a colleague who doesn't understand stateless system design, that I left three typos in the file, that my IDE would've caught. I have come to realize that I rely too much on my IDE.

Of course, the fact that I completely ripped his code apart and reassembled it by hand in a notepad editor makes me rather happy that I only had 3 typos.

But I should've done better.

No, of course the bar isn't set too high.

@YiJiang: damn you, I have nothing sweet in my house right now.

Yi Jiang

6:17 AM

@TimStone What, from the comment that she doesn't want to think so much? When did answering questions on SO require thinking?

@MichaelPetrotta It's not a desert pie, it's a chicken pie

drachenstern

Look, here's the thing. You cna't solve problems like this as easily with RegEx as you can with native string parsing. He's also omitting the case where (assuming I understand a requirement) two "opening quotes" appear before a single closing quote.

This is the neighborhood of full on grammar parsers, not regexes

Rebecca Chernoff

I believe that would fall into the category of "requiring thought"

Tim Stone

Rebecca Chernoff

rolls her eyes

Yi Jiang

@RebeccaChernoff :stares: Lies! Answering question on SO never requires thinking! Nick Craver proves this conclusively!

Rebecca Chernoff

6:20 AM

heh

drachenstern

It would fall into the category of "needs more/better requirements" that obviously the coder in question hasn't got the capacity to provide, because anytime you define a problem by going "oh I forgot to mention" once you have a solution, you're not writing code, you're programming by debugging results.

Rebecca Chernoff

7:01 AM

@MichaelPetrotta mind repro'ing something for me? Start composing a post (new answer, new question, edit existing post, whatever), after you've typed a bit, select a partial line of text in the preview below (without clicking in between so that the body input is still selected when you start to highlight). Highlight just part of a single line, don't do multi-line, stop selecting: does the text stay highlighted?

Michael Petrotta

okie dokie

Rebecca Chernoff

Original bug report has this happening in Firefox, I see it in Chrome dev, so just want to make sure before I edit to say it isn't just Firefox.

Yi Jiang

@RebeccaChernoff The script thingy pushing the infobox to the right on English, I don't see it on Firefox with SEMod.js

Doesn't SEMod.js do the same thing?

Tim Stone

learns to read

But it does happen in Firefox.

drachenstern

@RebeccaChernoff errr - I can't read - I can repro indeed

Yi Jiang

7:03 AM

@RebeccaChernoff Hmmm, which version of Firefox?

Michael Petrotta

I'm not sure what you mean by "without clicking in between so that the body input is still selected when you start to highlight", but when I select a partial line in the preview as you describe, the selection stays selected.

Rebecca Chernoff

Ask a new question. Try to select the text which appears in the preview box. The selection should disappear and the "how to format" box should blink. It happens to me on SO, meta.SO and gaming with Firefox 3.6.14 on Windows 7. However it isn't 100% reproducible for me. Seems to occur most ofte...

bug user-interface

that's the post I'm trying to edit and clean up

Yi Jiang

Oh, I know that one

Rebecca Chernoff

So...does behavior occur in Chrome stable? (:

Yi Jiang

7:06 AM

It isn't a bug; there's a click event handler attached to the #wmd-preview element that auto-focuses the #wmd-input element on click

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff Yes

Yi Jiang

For some reason, I have no idea why. I should've asked on Meta long time ago; it's hugely annoying behavior

Michael Petrotta

However, if I select a section of text in the textbox, and then select a partial line in the preview and release, the textbox text regains its selection, and the preview text loses its selection. Not sure if that's what you were going for.

Tim Stone

@YiJiang Yeah, I just stopped trying to copy things from the preview box and ignored it, heh.

Michael Petrotta

@Rebecca I can repro the behavior described in that bug report, in Chrome stable.

Yi Jiang

7:08 AM

I distinctly remember one time it got so annoying that I actually went into Firebug and deleted the event handler so that I can select some of the text from the preview area

Michael Petrotta

but only with a selection that doesn't extend past a single line

from a user script, what would be the easiest way to detect a new chat message?

@KlausByskovHoffmann You can check document.title

}

Klaus Byskov Hoffmann

@YiJiang does it change even though the same user posts a message twice?

Nyuszika7H

You need to put it in a setInterval block.

@KlausByskovHoffmann It isn't possible to post the same message twice now.

Yi Jiang

@KlausByskovHoffmann It does, yes, though it requires that the user doesn't have the chat tab focused

Alternatively, check DOMNodeInserted instead of DOMSubtreeModified
