Generally when things get deleted, it's for a good reason, and we don't want users to be undeleting them -- there's a reason we require 10k rep to "see" deleted items at all, and only moderators can see deletions in a user's profile.
People have on occasion asked whether golf questions on SO should be migrated to Code Golf Stack Exchange. Notwithstanding whether this should or shouldn't be done, I think we should fix one big hurdle for doing such migrations:
Golf questions on SO are community wiki. Golf questions on CGSE are...
One way is to set an environmental variable.
So in your crontab
SCRIPT_RUN_ENV=cron
* * * * * foo.php // Whatever your line is
Then, in the application, just check that:
if (get_env('SCRIPT_RUN_ENV') != 'cron') {
echo "Program cannot be run manually\n";
exit(1);
}
Now, anyone can s...
@KlausByskovHoffmann That's like saying unix and C are independent environments and a good coder always keeps his area-of-work separate. Therefore command line arguments are bad.
Or taken to the logical extreme: Well, Instructions and Memory are independent environments and a good coder always keeps his area-of-work separate. Therefore you should never have both in the CPU at the same time...
When someone focuses so hard on implementing a solution that they forget about the problem all together and don't realize that there are other solutions...
In computer networking, IP over Avian Carriers (IPoAC) is a humorously-intended proposal to carry Internet Protocol (IP) traffic by birds such as homing pigeons. IP over Avian Carriers was initially described in RFC 1149, a Request for Comments (RFC) issued by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) written by D. Waitzman and released on 1 April 1990 (April Fools' Day). It is one of several April Fools' Day RFCs.
Waitzman described an improvement of his protocol in RFC 2549, IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service (1 April 1999).
IPoAC has been successfully implemented, but fo...
> IPoAC has been successfully implemented, but for only nine packets of data, with a packet loss ratio of 55% (due to user error[1]), and a response time ranging from 3000 seconds(~54 minutes) to over 6000 seconds(~1.77 hours). Thus, this technology suffers from poor latency. Nevertheless, for large transfers avian carriers are capable of high average throughput when carrying flash memory devices
DSL was good for me years ago. These days there are so many customers connected to the DSLAM that I loose my connection completely several times a day. Not pleasant when working from home over VPN
Speaking of jobs....when's this lady gonna call me back? I couldn't pick up the phone when she first called. I was at the vet's office talking to the vet when she called last week. =/
@jjnguy Sigh. I've been banned from Pandora/Slacker/&c. while my company upgrades for IPv6, or something. (It's been several months, I don't remember their official reason anymore.) Supposedly we'll get it back late this year....
@KlausByskovHoffmann Step 1: click status-norepro. Step 2: click on the first result. Step 3: add an answer reading "I cannot repro this." Step 4: repeat steps 2 and 3 for all results.
Darn it... I was hoping to spend the next many months posting long descriptions of non-reproducible bugs :-P
The stackoverflow chatrooms are (almost) completely dead. Has the SO team acknowledged this or commented on it in any way? I mean was it worth the investment? I don't know how much time has been put into the development, but it can't have been just a few hours.
So, should I make a userscript which turns integers in my e-mails to links to fogbugz, or put up with two whole extra clicks and make a context menu item which creates a fogbugz url from the selected text?
At any rate, I'm supposed to have this page up for our school's auction and I'm fighting with CSS. I've been doing CSS and JavaScript all weekend and then some...
@Moshe "I would be more than happy to t-shirt and sticker anyone", I think maybe you misunderstood. Jeff means he's going to put stickers all over you and then create a T-shirt with a picture of you covered in stickers with the text "OMG WTF STICKRZ!" on it. He's going to wear that shirt himself...
@Moshe: played around in Chrome a bit, vertical-align seems to work just fine... Not sure what you're seeing, but I'm tempted to put it down to a Safari bug.
it often makes it easier to find the offending style. Also, remember that firebug can help you a lot... it will allow you to fiddle with the styles directly so you don't need to change the source constantly (and worry about caching and having forgotten to save)
