@rchern Eh... don't you remember that in my original scheme of things, /highlight was the command for adding highlights, and that when used without any arguments give you a list of highlight
@YiJiang That sucks. :( I'm in the middle of a major restructuring now, heh. Unfortunately it's not going as quickly as I had hoped due to some poorly placed landfills..
@rchern More seriously though, /star both stars and unstars depending on the initial context, so can it not be the same? (I haven't tried out the highlight to see how it works, so it's possible that wouldn't make sense)
@YiJiang Yeah, I've learned my lesson now. I didn't plan far enough ahead when I placed the first one, and now that I have to expand the other ones are getting in the way too. I was able to actually make a bridge to that far island though, so now it all goes out there.
@TimStone /star is easy (both programmatically and conceptually) because the button is already a two-state button. Highlighting would be a bit more interesting.
@TimStone A couple of other things you might want to watch for
addhl is shorter than highlight (; and doing highlight is weird to get a list, highlights like it is now is better, but then highlight vs highlights meh.
Add a highlight to messages
/addhl <match>
<match> is the numeric id of a single message, or a (partial) substring of a username
Uses localStorage to persist highlights
Remove a highlight from messages
/delhl <match>
<match> is the numeric id of a single message, or a (partial) substring of a username
<match> must be identical to the match used with /addhl
View all highlights
/highlights
@YiJiang Yeah, I had them for the income, but then realized that I make far more money by doing the missions anyway. As far as the agriculture goes, interesting...That's what was in high demand when I started off, so I just went with it. What does heavy industry give me (besides being less retarded than agriculture which takes up a ton of space and pays little tax comparatively)?
@TimStone The tax, mainly, since in the original you can't do any mission to make money, early on for your first city the main problem for most is keeping afloat
And it is, really really hard to keep the checkbook balanced
Should the creator of a tag be able to edit the tag wiki?
Background: Recently, Ether added the goatse tag to Is the Perl Goatse 'Secret Operator' efficient?, and I asked her whether she's going to write up the tag wiki, and she noted that she can't.
Creating tags without wikis would be adding ...
so what's happening with rmclip? i wanna make some changes to the code i've got + tim's, but no sense in doing that until i've got yours merged in @YiJiang
> How should I say this without offending someone. MSIE isn't the best browser in the world. You want to know why MSIE takes twice the time as FF for this operation. About 2 years ago I did a little test with string concatenation. Opera 9 finished in 0.2 seconds and Firefox 2 in 4.1 seconds. Can you guess how long time IE7 needed to do exactly the same ting? I don't know, because I terminated the test on MSIE7 since it hadn't finished after 20 MINUTES. [...]
Roger Pate's cognitive abilities are...more impressive than I would have imagined for being a soldier of the living dead, but what can you do...except run.
@rchern It's not a huge deal in my editor because I have the tab size set appropriately, but I did notice looking at the code on GitHub...I'm a little OCD about it, but I can blissfully ignore it if you aren't concerned about it.
@YiJiang Hm, speaking of which, I'm supposed to setup a page for a memorial 5K run, still not very confident on how to go about that in a professional and respectful way...Might need to go harass one of my design friends, heh.
@rchern I used to like four spaces. Then I realized that tabs are more appropriate since you can set the tab size in editors. Then I realized that I can't set the tab size in Firefox and that made me sad....so, I'm conflicted. ;)
@YiJiang Yeah, heh. I should probably get that done either today or tomorrow...You're welcome to critique when I'm done. ;) It's only going to be a page or two, so nothing big. :P
I don't want to open this debate, much rather take a smoke break; but I used to not understand spaces-only too — however, it's the best way to communicate with others across a wide variety of tools and get consistent results
I'm not really sure what the cause of the issue is, as there are times where Chrome will give focus to the element correctly, though most of the time it does not. You shouldn't need to request focus at all, since the focus is not lost when you press the key. If you omit the setEditFocus() call, y...
Then I'm 99% sure that @YiJiang's problem was caused by my using .data('message') that I had set when you create the ID boxes on the right. I just removed that, since the .replace('message-', '') is probably not expensive enough to warrant that.
The problem there being that the script management mechanisms currently available suck (IMO), so sticking with a single file avoids the headache of tracking and updating different features.
I'm going to provide more than just the technical details here, as I think there are alot of implicit assumptions about global login that aren't quite correct out there.
Accordingly, this is going to be really long.

Ah good, my mega-answer was accepted, effectively teaching me nothing about the consequences of spending so much time researching trivial things instead of working. :P
i did a ping before and it gave me the NY ip but now i'm seeing both and it seems to alternate on page requests like you were talking about for WA before

This turns out to be a webkit bug.
