@DanGrossman Because some people complain that the call to the YQL service, which is used to do X-domain ajax to retrieve the elections page, is erroring out
The other alternative is simply to stick with the current system - see that link at the bottom of the page? That will produce a plain text file containing the static information needed by the page. Right now I'm saving that into the static cached file
I don't understand why Firefox is getting garbled version of the file through ajax'
btw, should you port this awesome thing to a more serious platform, it'd be interesting to see whether or not a candidate has already ran in the past and where/when :)
@badp I definitely should, but since client-side JavaScript is what I'm most familiar with, and the only hosting for a server-side project I have is PHP, which I'm not particularly good at, I choose this
In hindsight even producing something like a local python script that you run yourself would be better
@TimStone Sounds viable? I'm erring on the side of declining, since it would create a inconsistancy between users of the userscript and normal users, though I agree that the current /me command is rather lame
> We could, in theory, insert a invisible unicode symbol into each /me message and have the userscript pick this up and do something special with it, but it feels rather hackish. I will take this up with others on the team to see what they feel about it.
In a case of what I guess is "commit and forget" (yes, I'm blaming you people who commited to the Area51 proposal for gaming recommendations), I see that you failed to make me notice that my little Reddit experiment, mostly abandoned due to lack of activity, received such an high profile endorsem...
@Josh Was thinking about that, but chat.stackoverflow.com is rather vacant at the moment and I'm hoping to at least get some prices from people tonight
I'm hacking at Webshell (python/ajax) terminal emulator that can (with the help of something like minicom) connect to a tty / psuedo tty

@Josh I didn't. Just something I had thought of the other day is that it'd probably be ok to remove the ids at this point. Your comment made me think of that.
Oh, and can we please update the README for keyboard navigation? I just installed it the other day and was stumped at even how to bring up the help dialog
Well, seriously. Anything that would be immediately [status-declined] on Meta is a step in the wrong direction. Most of what we've done is [status-that's-cool-but-we-don't-have-a-pressing-need-to-implement-it] so far, I think. :P
Exception for the notifications, which obviously did get implemented ;)
Well, here's another installment of our weekly code-bowling game. As a refresher:
Code-Bowling is a challenge for writing the most obscure, unoptimized, horrific and bastardized code possible. Basically, the exact opposite of Code-Golf.
The Challenge:
Create a program using the langauge o...
Here's a short and elegant shell solution:
#!/bin/sh
{ seq 1 "$1"; seq 1 "$2"; } | wc -l
It's great for when you want to add a couple natural numbers that aren't too big.
Here is a generalized version that sums all the arguments:
#!/bin/sh
for i in "$@" ; do
seq 1 "$i"
done | wc -l
My suggestion: Don't try to learn the differences. Learn how to approach the problem in Python. Just like there's a Ruby approach to each problem (that works very well givin the limitations and strengths of the language), there's a Python approach to the problem. they are both different. To g...
There's a ton of questions from even two years ago that should probably be moved to programmers.se, one of the reasons why I'm running as a mod candidate
No jQuery needed. Just overwrite the onsubmit event of all the forms in the page.
var inputs=document.all.tags('form')||document.getElementsByTagName('form');
for(x=0;x<inputs.length;x++){
inputs[x].onsubmit=function(){
return false;
}
}
The comment thread started okay, then someone asked this moron why he hates jQuery, and it's downhill all the way...
On the review page, there is a one-sentence guideline on reviewing. I think that as the number of reviewers increase, it is going to become increasingly necessary to come to some kind of agreement about a standard way to handle the different 'cases' that arise.
I'm not sure if 'one question to r...
If it looks like the community is going to flag it into oblivion, (spam, etc), just let nature take its course.
If you think the community has missed something, flag it appropriately. The less flags diamond mods have to deal with, the quicker really urgent problems get resolved.
This user clearly wants his account deleted and everything he ever posted to vanish off of SO. He's non-stop erasing the contents of his questions, even after we rollback. It's getting so silly that some of them have been made CW.
Should we be stopping such cases? If so, is flagging for moderato...
I'm not sure what your question is... If you set up a proxy server between your client and the application server, then it will be just that: a proxy server. So it will proxy requests to the application server, just as you've shown in your diagram. If a client POSTs data to the proxy, the proxy s...
I think I'm not understanding what he's asking maybe?

This question offers a nice example.
