@RebeccaChernoff so now would be a bad time to poke you? :p (I admit, I have nothing witty to add to make you laugh, except possibly this meta comment which will seem stupid enough to barely grimace at by the time you get done reading it :P )
@RebeccaChernoff Please vent. I don't think I could handle it if you decided to take your anger out on the SE network as a whole. (I'm imagining this, only with "arr-CHERN?" inserted appropriately.)
Today I learned that @RebeccaChernoff can't handle a morning without me when I'm trapped in meetings instead of on MSO chat. I'll try not to let it happen again
All of the time I see people use these two words synonymously. For example:
Why did he move there anyway?
Versus:
Why did he move there anyways?
I always assumed that there was once just the word anyway that one day had an S added to the end for some reason. Is this assumption correct...
@RebeccaChernoff I think this calls for a visit to a gym. Any gym. Just needs a lot of big heavy immovable things that can be safely punched or kicked.
Oh boy did I mess up. About two months ago, my boss asked me how long something would take. I said (jokingly) "Six to eight weeks" .. I just realized that he took me seriously :/
I can cobble something together quickly. It's just strange how I though everyone knows six to eight weeks means anything from ten minutes to ten years.
I had heard some debate on this topic, and I had always learned to use two spaces after a period. But it would seem there is an argument against it.
However, I do not understand what the issue is against this practice.
In the past — or at least, when I was in elementary school — periods/full stops were followed by two spaces. Lately, it's become more and more common to see just one space. In the modern world, should we still use two spaces between sentences, or is just one okay? Does it depend on...
The great thing about where I work is, everyone uses SO. The bad thing about where I work is .. everyone uses SO. "Get back to work and quit playing on meta" is a common thing to say here.

Should you use two spaces after a period, or just a single one?

@RebeccaChernoff By the way, the reason why I pinged you earlier was because I thought it might be good to temporarily patch livequery to work around that Chrome bug, so that people can userscript without fear while I figure out how what's really going on there, heh.
@RebeccaChernoff Yeah, but I figured the easiest way was for you to change the file on stackflair, heheh :) I haven't seen anything, no...it seems pretty difficult to trigger this bug except in the actual userscript scenario, so I imagine no one else has come across it (or hasn't thought to complain if they have)
@RebeccaChernoff Maybe, but for the moment I figure this is easier. I'm not even sure if we really need livequery to begin with, or if we can just hook into the message-adding another way.
@RebeccaChernoff Around line 180 there's a comment // Create a new method, and changing the function there to function() { var jQuery = $; var r = old.apply(this, arguments); jQuery.livequery.run(); return r; } seems to skip around whatever the Chrome bug is causing to happen.
When .apply() randomly destroys the outer scopes, it seems to at least leave the local scope intact, so assigning the jQuery reference to a local variable before that step seems to prevent it from causing an issue.
Originally I thought maybe the call stack was getting too deep and it was screwing up, but if you walk through the code with the debugger, this never happens.
When I'm sitting here figuring out just why certain exceptions can't be handled with OpenSSL in python, the last thing I want to hear about is progress or some other idea on an unrelated issue. Interruptions are insipidly difficult to manage when done in person.
Unless you have a big fat "(X) Dismiss" on your forehead (and don't mind a really hard click), don't bug me in person when I'm working :)
@jjnguy a) I did say only semi-regularly, and b) apparently there are activities that will spark it off, as noted above, which is probably the source of my misinformation
@ChrisJesterYoung irssi is great, but when you're >20 channels and switching to the next channel is "/win 21" instead of just "alt+key" , you're not happy with it.
I'm guessing it was changed to better match the color scheme for SO (i.e. the same color as the upvotes, the highlighted menu options, the overflowing stacks in the logo, etc.).
Ironically, I only read the first two sentence before scrolling down to look at the shines. I took issue w/ that 2nd sentence, saying to myself "Actually, porn is porn for techies, but whatever."
I would not have believed that someone could finish an entire website without understanding that there are two different machines involved - a client and a server.
The story that follows has been deduced from this user's question history and apparent overall intelligence.

@GeorgeMarian aside from being lazy, I like it. And actually that should be threadsafe, assuming count(var) is threadsafe, because it won't keep going should a suddenly decrease in size.
Or is there something I'm missing aside from the lazy?
Even if the for loop does something to reduce or truncate the size of a?
what if the purpose of the loop is to prune a, and it used cheap mechanical tricks to reduce a while using a? (granted, I would build a new list and discard a after the loop)
@Yij There's something very wrong with the way the election watcher fetches primary votes
Also, there's something wrong with the way the election page handles primaries for me
When I reload, the vote arrows are always on a neutral state even if I've already voted for the person. This causes all kinds of weird situations.
Say, Grace has a +11. I upvote her: +12. I refresh. Grace now appears to be +12 with no vote from me. I upvote her: +13. I refresh: +12 and no vote from me.
Still transferring files off the old HDD behind me, and damnit I can hear the disk whirring. I think that machine is shortly to be cut for the scrap heap :\
@TheRenamedException yeah, I have an older version of this and if I run this, the Program Compatibility Assistant warns that it didn't install correctly, and the device manager says the old version is still uninstalled. So that's where I'm digging now.
@RebeccaChernoff do you run it as administrator by right click (dumb questions always help - is the power cord plugged in? you're not putting it in backwards are you? ~ I've been bitten by both of those often enough)
Is it possible to make an Adobe Air app create a native windows balloon notification/tooltip? I know it is possible to make a window appear in the corner, but I would like to use native windows notifications.
@TheRenamedException You forgot to pull Pikachu back first.
And, you folks can upvote my wonderful (borrowed) answer if you feel so inclined. Or, worse, click the link so I can get one of them badges, if enough people click on it.)
