@PopularDemand I have almost no info. I keep asking for info and not getting much. What I know is, when clicking the "checkout" link, her cart is dropped
@RebeccaChernoff She says she adds an item to cart and then clicks "checkout", and on the checkout page, the cart is empty. I cannot reproduce on my end in 4 browsers
That's why I'm thinking if I do a packet capture, I can see where the issue is happening. We also have a crapload of logs but I am not sure what specifically to add to the logs to help me diagnose (since I don't know where the issue is occurring)
@RebeccaChernoff LOL, that's ironic, because sometimes I would call you "Rebecca" before and was afraid you were using rchern because you didn't want to be called by your real name, haha
@NickT Is there a real human being who thinks version control is a "magical binary ball of files," and do you actually have to convince this person to use version control?
One of my friends was complaining that mgmt at his company was pressing him into using SVN in the middle of several ongoing projects and he was slightly apprehensive as the current "VCS" was a series of zips; very transparent compared to actual VCS systems
Hi our SVN repo is approaching 1/2 a gig. We have nowhere near that amount of code in our production system.
Is it possible to remove old revisions I tried svn dump with a beginning revision number but to no avail. I couldn't import that into a clean svn repository.
We don't need history over ...

@PopularDemand If you'd like to help, that would be awesome! Visit the site, not using Chrome, find a product (any product) and add to your cart. Then check out, and on the checkout page, see if the product is still in your cart.
@PopularDemand Hmmm... maybe I should address that. But, the site requires JavaScript. Was that at the top of the page, or on a plain white page? I should go install NoScript...
I am working on a website for a womans shelter and would like to include a link to leave the site and remove its entries in the browsers history. The objective is to cover the tracks of a person seeking help.

@PopularDemand Yeah what's happening here is, all links which JavaScript will observe point to /ajax_required.php. When JavaScript observes them, is cancels the click event, so you should only see that page if Js is off. In theory. In practice it doesn't work so well and we're going to remove that page.
@GeorgeMarian, I've copied my entire (personal) repo from work, as there's a complicated rebase I wanted to do this weekend. I just wondered how I'd go about it if I was doing things 'properly' (clone/push etc.)
Well, I think I did all I can do for now. I tested it from 5 computers, 3 browsers, I reviewed logs and checked everything I could, I asked coworkers to test and got two people here to test. Without more information from her (which has been requested multiple times) I can't do much more. But still the issue doesn't have a nice "clean" ending, and it's a serious issue. I hate that! Oh well...
> Want numerous tamper-proof geographically diverse redundant archives? If your project has many developers, don’t do anything! Every clone of your code is effectively a backup. Not just of the current state, but of your project’s entire history. Thanks to cryptographic hashing, if anyone’s clone becomes corrupted, it will be spotted as soon as they try to communicate with others.
When trying to learn some API/library or whatever for a new project, do you just make your project and have it eventually evolve into the final thing or do you make some dummy little project(s) to muck about in?
Does getting voted up when you answer a question marked as "subjective" give you no rep points? I ask this because I recently got some of my answers voted up, yet my reputation didn't change. These answers were in response to questions tagged as subjective. The only two reasons that I can think o...
I've been swamped with customer issues and other work this afternoon
Now, I am burnt out and ready for a beer
Ah! Just in time for happy hour
To the moderators: Sorry for my two annoying flags. To @PopularDemand, sorry for flagging you! Both were my carelessness, I will try to avoid posting carelessly like that in the future!
@Benjol Well, the beer is from a six pack I bought a while back and the scotch, well it's good stuff. (Not that I drink a lot. Usually, one drink in the evening.)
@PopularDemand Gladly, just pass em along. Although these were chat flags, I should have deleted the URL of that site in case her or her competitors google it
It's been covered before that posting links to your own website is ok, but should there be a line drawn? There were several spam flags today for Ira Baxter's recent posts, presumably because they all link to his website. Initially I disagreed because his answers seem for the most part relevant to...
@TheUnhandledException Of course, a lot of these were tagged [faq] before [faq] was a mod-only tag, and really don't deserve it. So in that case, modify your message accordingly.
Or they were tagged that way on SO and then got migrated here.
@Benjol Oh, yeah! Thanks for the reminder. I bought some wine for Thanksgiving and still have quite a bit left. Never even touched the bottle of pinot noir, my fav.
The StackOverflow FAQ includes a lot of information on how to ask questions and what questions to ask, but very little information on what makes a good answer. I often see answers (example) of the sort that simply reference an external site and say, in effect, go read this. Unfortunately, over ...

Should I ask questions I already know the answer too and answer them myself?
So you've just hacked together an awesome algorithm for solving a particular sets of problems.
Is it ok to make up a question...
@TheUnhandledException There is one workaround: you can roll back red tags. Probably not a good idea to do that unless you're really sure of yourself, though.
Yeah, it should be... but it would be even better if it were closed as a dupe, because I'm pretty sure that's been asked at least five times.
@PopularDemand Was waiting until after 6 for that customer to respond to my email that nobody could reproduce her cart issue. She didn't, so now I am going to wrap for the night
Thanks again for the help @PopularDemand and @Benjol! I'm going to grab a beer myself. @GeorgeMarian since you're almost out the next round's on me :-)
@GeorgeMarian I think they assume that saying at least ten things and having one of them starred means that you were in chat long enough to appreciate it as a means of conversation, which is the point of the badge. ;)
@GeorgeMarian Yeah, it kind of irks me too. I'm not a Python person myself, but I had to mess around with it trying to fix issues I was having with hg-git, and I wasn't unhappy with what I saw.
So I imagine it's not too bad when all is said and done.
Plus, after all of the poorly formatted PHP code I've seen, a language that punches you in the face for not being tidy almost seems like a blessing. If only I could force all of those people to convert...
@GeorgeMarian - for one, all Python looks roughly the same, so everyone's is readable. You also tend to write some Python and think "wow, that's a big wedge of code" and usually that spells some smell somewhere ... but in other languages you can format the stink away
@AidenBell Nice. I guess my biggest concern is that, being dyslexic, I have issues keeping track of a stream of things. So, significant white space will take some effort for me to learn. Of course, if it's worth the effort, I don't mind doing it.
I do mostly everything in Java. I also spend some time with C#, and I used to do a lot of web development in PHP. One of my favourite obscure languages is called Pike, and I've been meaning to try Python more seriously.
PHP Is improving steadily, and I don't mind working with it. However, the namespace syntax is farking stupid. As are the lack of call signature conventions in the older functions.
@GeorgeMarian - then a symlink controls if Python -> Python3 or Python2
@GeorgeMarian - Check your distro. Also Python 2 has much better library support and works better with things like mod_wsgi if you want to do web development.
