@TimStone <50s-era-film>That is correct young Timmy. Consider the Polynesian Island tribe of {degenerate into B&W film about the Polynesian tribe of jQueryless}</psa>
@TimStone I really like Prototype.js' class hierarchy system, and we have many, many, many JS classes built upon it, so switching would be a major pain
@radp I used to write all of my own JavaScript...I used to write all of my own everything. While the end result wasn't terrible as far as it doing what I needed it to do, it was certainly more trouble than it was worth.
@TheUnhandledException the way they're laid out isn't quite the same, idk, something about the jquery layout speaks to me, whereas the proto layout scares me slightly
A minor inconvenience my users have found is that if they use a smilie such as >_> at the end of parentheses (kind of like this: >_>) then during processing it is run through htmlspecialchars(), making it >_>) - you can see the problem, I think. The ;) at the end is then...
I also have a number of med students at my disposal...though unfortunately not any that are active on SE in any way, shape, or form. I'll mention it to those that might be interested at any rate, but no promises on my end either, heh.
I've been trying to get a technical support site for our game, ROBLOX up and running on Area-51 for the past several days.
I whipped 180 people into a fury and sent that to that page (for some reason my referral count - once 150+, bounced back to ~90). Most sites launch at between 200-400 commit...
But, yes, I'll pass the word along. Though my track record is pretty bad; looks like the one serious proposal I made has been shuttered due to inactivity.
so this is what I am thinking; once the proposal goes to stage II, commitment, I am going to simply try to get dermatologists to sign-up for other exisiting SE sites that might resonate with their other interests (cooking, photography, english, etc). Then tell them if they like the SE dynamic, check out the derm proposal
it will be a long, slow, horrible process, but I am willing to give it a shot
if they first start using another SE site, perhaps I can get their reps up
@user152426 For the second time today -- or the first time today, if you're using crazy SO UTC time -- I am proud to award someone the Dedicated badge, which has zero official support.
My minty tic tacs smell oddly sweet...I'm not a fan of this deception. ...I mean, er...what we were talking about before? Visual elements associated with programmers?
@PopularDemand I posed for advertising material for my department, and the photographer was greatly saddened by the fact that I didn't have anything shiny to put on the computers in the background. We ended up going with the university's website, since code is boring.
@DanGrossman Oy. That reminds me. The gf and have yet to buy the expansion. And, oh yah. I need to reboot into Windblowz at some time add a new skill to my training queue in Eve-Online.
you guys are merely temporary entertainment until I am able to battle the mighty Deathwing and, along with my mighty hero companions, banish him into oblivion.
@Jin A bit unrelated, but before I forget, Popular Demand had a question earlier (see the next few messages) about something used in one of the advertisements for Gaming. Not sure if you're involved with those or not, but figured it was worth a mention. :)
@DanGrossman The original was the only one I bothered buying. In fact, I didn't actually buy LotW. I just started playing again, sorta, a few months ago.
What language, in your opinion, allows the average programmer to output features with the least amount of hard-to-find bugs? This is of course, a very broad question, and I'm interested in very broad and general answers and wisdoms.
Personally I find that I spend very little time looking for str...
Some languages in the past have been influential without ever reaching wide adoption. For example, many languages owe much to the design of Algol 68, even though few compilers were ever written for it. The Dylan language was killed by Apple but had a clean and interesting design.
What other prog...
Tammy Banovac, clad in undergarments and sitting in a wheelchair, failed to pass the Transportation Security Administration screening process Tuesday when security officers detected traces of nitrates on her wheelchair.
Feeling violated by previous hand searches, she shows up wearing as little as possible to leave nothing to the imagination. They still think she has a bomb...?
