A: How can I copy a block on one page to another page retaining css stylings?

bjb568http://jsfiddle.net/1ruvsqw1/ var e = document.getElementsByClassName('test')[0], div = e.cloneNode(true), styles = getComputedStyle(e); for (var i in styles) { console.log(i, styles[i]); div.style[i] = styles[i]; } document.body.appendChild(div); Just copy the computed styles ...

:p
@bjb568 s/:p/😜/g
meh
@bjb568 s/\bmeh\b/πŸ˜’/gi
@bjb568 s/\bno\b/πŸ™…/gi
20:06
my phone lets me replace "hmm" with πŸ˜’... I don't have my keyboard set up for that though
πŸ™€

A: Get value from every textbox on page

bjb568$i = 1; $myarray = []; while ($_POST["questions_!".$i]) { $i++; array_push($myarray, $_POST["questions_!".$i]); } Loop thru them until it's null. This pushes them to an array, but you could use them in the loop.

[] is the new php array right?
and before it was array()?

A: Is there a equivalence table to covert ASCII smileys to unicode emojis?

tchristNot everyone agrees on what is what, but here is one such possible table mapping input ASCII-art emoticons to Unicode emoji. Both data elements are single quoted, so backslashes and single quotes are escaped. 'o/' => 'πŸ‘‹', '</3' => 'πŸ’”', '<3' => 'πŸ’—', '8-D' => '😁'...

@tchrist xmodmap isn't fancy enough for that. Not sure how to do that sort of text replacing while typing
I can do <Compose Key> : ) → ☺ but that's about it
Compose+:+( also works and makes ☹
and compose - > = →
that's not a face :P

Paste from xterm.
how is that going to help?
Keep a palette window open.
Don’t pretend you have to be able to "type" everything you want to input.

lead type for han characters?
Aye.
and the size of one of my new keyboards
A Chinese typewriter is a typewriter that can type Chinese script. Early European typewriters began appearing in the early 19th century. However, as the Chinese languages use a common logographic writing system, fitting thousands of Chinese characters on the machine needed much more complex engineering than typewriters using a simple latin alphabet, or other non-logographic scripts. An ordinary Chinese printing office uses 6,000 Chinese characters. Chinese typewriters, and similar Japanese typewriters invented by Kyota Sugimoto, which use kanji adopted from the Chinese writing system, started to...

If one wants to accept BTC they can make an online BTC wallet at Coinbase or Blockchain without any validation, I think. I'm not sure what options exist for USD without validating a bank account.

Is BTC good? I have very little of it, meant to sell them all lately
@AstroCB yeah...

@Unihedro Not as good as kittehcoin.
I'm not going to have a wallet though :( None of my machines supports it

@Unihedro IIRC BTC's value has been trending downwards for over a year, so I wouldn't suggest holding onto it as an investment. However, it's been declining slow enough that I'd say it's still stable enough to hold short-medium term if you intend to actually use it.
@Unihedro You need OS X to get OS X.
I had a few BTC on MtGox :d

@bjb568 Maybe if you're lucky they'll reverse all your serial downvoters. (;÷}
probably not
Some mod or cm said it looked fishy but didn't do anything once.
I probably have over 40 serial dvs.
Wonder from how many people.
You can get on somebody's downside and everthing new you post they downvote. This isn't a serial downvote if it is in the normal course of looking at things: the user journey/al won't show a pattern of abuse. Eventually mods may notice but the script won't.
Which, really, is probably ok.
@tchrist It's made very obvious when somebody posts it to chat soon after posting and the score goes in a U shape

@AstroCB Yay for the 2015 Stack Overflow Moderator Election! Primaries begin in 1 day, 21 hours, 26 minutes and 2 seconds.
@tchrist Yes.
I wonder if some folks just wait till they don't need approvals.
A thing that annoys me: "It will work with [type of A] or any [A]. It'll even work with [type of A], [type of A], [type of A], or [type of A]!"
That is a crazy number of edit suggestions!
Is that all edits, or just on questions or just on answers or just on tag wikis? The last interests me.
22:37
> AstroCB had 308 edit suggestions approved, and 43 edit suggestions rejected
My edit suggestion history is very shoddy.
ELU WANTS YOU!
A lot of those rejections are from the OP, who apparently doesn't want a readable post.
Copy Editors very rare there, queerly enough.
Or maybe just the illegible posts are so common. On SO nobody seems to even try to generate actual written English: just public restroom grafitti. Why do people answer illegible questions w/o editing them? No Illuminators?
Cannot type with kitty helping.

One didn't come back last night. First time ever. Thought a lion got him. He showed up towards noon and has been pasted to me most of the day.
Huh.
Congrats!
U haz un kitteh!
No.
Two.
Not counting lions.
Whom I have indeed chanced upon around my house. Wasn't paying attention so I was only about 8' away when the lioness growled at me. Nearly shat myself.
The most terrifying wild animal to encounter is a lion cub, followed close behind by a bear cub.
I was taking pictures and was too freaked out to remember to take her picture. Photograhy is not a high priority just right then.

@bjb568 title fixed
It's already humiliating enough to have tag badges in java, python, and just shoot me php. I don't think I could have lived with myself with one in javascrippy.
@bjb568 I gave it the last vote.
@pizza !
@tchrist What's humiliating about knowing those languages?
23:37
@Ixrec Ruins my rep.
I can sorta get PHP but people don't normally hate Python (unless they've refused to ever try it because whitespace)
Python has some of the same mindbugs as Java.
"Hate" is too strong a word. Well, maybe not, especially in Java's case. PHP is simply a joke.
so, they tell me Daredevil is whatever Marvel should have done instead of Agents of Shield
@tchrist I just noticed the "Why doesn't Perl default to Unicode?" answer was you
that was one of my favorites before I even joined any of the sites
@Ixrec Oh, you know that one, eh? Definitely in high dudgeon that one.
23:42
yep, it turned up a few times when I was going through a "I should know how to do Unicode" phase
now I know enough to tell other people horror stories about it, and that's good enough for me
Well, you should. Everyone should. No excuse for not knowing it.
out of curiosity, if Java, Python, PHP and Javascript all rub you the wrong way, what languages do you like besides presumably Perl?
C.
awk
go
that explains everything
well at least we can agree on Go
Anybody who doesn't appreciate C deserves to do 3 years of hard labor in assembly language.
23:46
C's cool, but I'll always prefer C++
If that doesn't reorient them proper like, we'll follow it by 5 years of FORTRAN.
though my normal usage of C++ is "C with classes and the STL" so perhaps we could argue it's not that huge a leap
@Ixrec There are some things that are cool about C++ but far, far more that is uncool.
@Ixrec Yep.
That's what's cool about C++: It has EVERYTHING
user259867
Being bloated is uncool.
23:47
and you can ignore >60% of it, since no sane project will ever need all of it
Like.
Too damned complicated. Too many traps and lies.
I can definitely understand that
it's pretty much mandatory to know all of Effective C++ to avoid shooting yourself in the foot
At a previous job, the overseas team spent more than two fruitless weeks trying to "port" a big fast C program of mine from Linux to Solaris. Finally I made them show me the compiler errors. The ijits had changed the extension and kept trying to compile it as C++ source. No lie.
@tchrist This statement is a lie.
They protested "But it's always worked for us beforre!"
23:51
There are people in charge of porting code from C to C++ that don't realize the two aren't 100% interoperable?
how does that even happen
Fire them. Fire them all.
@pizza I saw you did a couple of the GL self eval reviews
thanks
user259867
@Frank Yes. Those with big pictures were obviously the best.
I haven't written C since my first uni course and even I know about things like foo() and foo(void) meaning completely different things in the two languages
@Ixrec They were not to port it to C++, only to Solaris. They didn't understand the difference.
23:52
it was so stupid I couldn't comprehend all the layers of the stupidity the first time you said it
Same nimrods who kept decaring C functions with no prototype instead a void prototype so the compiler didn't catch them screwing up.
do C compilers yell at you for doing that these days?
Apparently not.
@pizza You're the only one who reviewed this as satisfactory. Everyone else so far has done excellent. I was selfishly hoping for the best score there xD
user259867
@Frank No pictures in the answer.
23:54
C++ int fn() is C int fn(void), not C int fn(). And yes, this actually matters.
yes, even I know that
though maybe that's because I read too many SO questions
@Ixrec I hate whitespace
@bjb568 There's a guy at work who keeps saying it's the dumbest thing you could ever do when designing a language; I just start laughing to myself every time he starts that rant
They claimed to be in India but we knew they really had to be in Istambul: their code was too Byzantine for any other possible explanation.
@pizza It didn't need 'em, to explain how to stop the problem clearly
23:57
@Ixrec honestly, I think Python is ok
If perl did not exist, I would be forced to pretend to like python. Or at least to use it. Programming is supposed to be fun.
I should probably mention at some point that I like Javascript
just to get that out of the way
(we always use strict mode at work, so that eliminates most of the objectively dumb parts)
