@PopularDemand Having 9,000 tabs open and forgetting to close them... I looked something up in a transcript earlier. I'm really quite opposed to the whole setup of a chat room (too many simultaneous conversations), but occasionally there's some useful discussion that goes on to which I am referred. I've also started to feel guilty about being a moderator, but being permanently absent from mod chats.
I have a webpage which contains radio button. The Radio button should be selected whenever the USB is inserted and it should be unchecked when Ejected.
Yeah, fast real-life context switching. Now that's the stuff
Or perhaps F1. I think the next time I need help with something, I'm just going to continually say/shout "F1" louder and louder until someone offers to help me :)
@jadarnel27 I use one at work all the time. It's great when other people try and use my PC they just move the whole thing and look surprised that it doesn't move the pointer
@mootinator - In case you miss it, I dropped a comment on your blog post about Grails and MVVM with some thoughts on how Grails does actually support it (and quite well, in fact)
Also, this post seems to have some good guidelines for Grails projects. Most of it is pretty much common sense, but it's still good stuff to remember
@YiJiangsProble_ I actually thought there was a working draft somewhat related to this, but I can't find it now. Have no fear though! There is apparently a Vibration API in the works, which is just as weird.
yeah, it's not you, it's them. Hitting the link you gave me bounces twice through Akamai servers, and then it goes to an actual Apple server and waits for a response. I finally got a response after 2.7 minutes. Other resources on the page come through fine though
@Moshe Sweet. That's one of the few things Apple does pretty well: Customer Service
@Moshe Akamai is one of the largest CDNs. They have servers all over the world, including within the networks of most major universities, so anything hosted on their network is usually blazzingly fast.
I've never actually used an ORM before now (I know, I know, don't kill me), so I was a little bit confused by how it works. But it's so freakin' simple to use, that there's really not much of a learning curve.
@jadarnel27 If you have an app that doesn't have much traffic, using an ORM is a god-send. Not having to deal with going between the DB and the code saves a HUGE chunk of time (and bugs)
@cdeszaq "app that doesn't have much traffic" - right, but the big positive with Dapper (over other ORMs) is the efficiency of it, so that you can use it with higher-traffic sites.
The bigger positive is writing pure SQL (not that there aren't other ORMs that allow this, but coming from Hibernate I want to punch so many kittens when JPQL doesn't quite let me do what I want, where SQL would)
My guess, with the popularity of Dapper-dot-net growing, is that things like Hibernate will start to build those capabilities in. There's no real reason you couldn't do what Dapper does within Hibernate, but you lose a bunch of the features, like 2nd-level cache, etc.
@TimStone There's fairly pretty ways to do raw SQL if you are in a Grrovy (and/or Grails) environment
There's nothing on the page that says that any particular answer is your answer, though.
So you can determine that by looking at the usercards on each post, but it's kind of annoying to the point of probably not being worth the effort, at least for a starting implementation.
Not to mention that if you updated your reputation on your own post, it'd probably be necessary to update the reputation for everyone else as well, as to be consistent...which would be extremely problematic on the backend, would make the page updates too busy, etc.
Ohhh yeah. I could only imagine how awful that would be on a really active post with a lot of answers.
Like a brand new "How do I format this string in C#?" question that 11 people answer at once. And a bunch of people are throwing drive-by votes at. shudders
@jadarnel27 But you could easily limit the "flashing" by just caching the pushed updates on the client-side and only update the display once ever XYZ seconds, or whatever. The data going back-forth doesn't need to dictate the display update speed.
Likewise, the backend could do the same sort of "rollup" to push score updates in batches rather than as-they-happen. This sort of thing could be easily tuneable so that load (from this anyways) could be controlled server-side / automated.
@PopularDemand Wait, didn't Google try something like that? Something about oscillating fluid motions stemming from tidal forces and differences in air pressure?
@cdeszaq Sure, anything's possible =) But is it worthwhile to put that much effort (with all the caching and tuning and roll ups and queuing and whatnot and trash and garbage) into it? I don't know. Valid point though, it could be done, and done well.
Pops's Perturbing Pedantic Problem of the Day: variable-message signs that display useless messages because they have more broken flip-discs than working ones.
I'm just annoyed because I got a dose of "HB69 BLOEKED 8T [Zalgo text here]" this morning. Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way, and I should be glad that they found a way to support Unicode.
@jadarnel27 Of course, all of those have to be limited to the ASP.Net world, so right there you are cutting down those populations immensely. And I'm not entirely convinced that those first two populations really have much overlap with the ASP.Net world ;-)
I just think those UpdatePanels are really, really quick and simple. But I haven't had to do much async stuff. It seems much easier to use jQuery AJAX with MVC than it does to use it with WebForms.
But yes, if its for quick-and-dirty stuff, UpdatePanels are fine, otherwise a more robust solution (like jQuery AJAX) is better
Many devs who don't know better (or just don't care... the sort that don't live on SO) just use whatever is the easiest to do and requires the least work. They never think long-term, and get bit hard when they have to do outside-the-box things and only have UpdatePanel to work with.
Yeah, MVC makes ASP.Net viable for modern web development, in my opinion. WebForms is simply the wrong way to go about web stuff. (The idea behind it was to make web development work just like desktop development, even though that's just way too far from reality)
I'm sure there are plenty of people who disagree with me, and I don't really have much to back that opinion up, but that's just how I feel.
@cdeszaq As a long time ASP.NET developer, I completely agree. The web forms eventing model is an unintuitive abstraction for the request/response nature of the web.
The interesting part for me, though, is that as my development moves more toward JavaScript with jQuery that eventing model starts to make more sense when strictly in the realm of the browser. I feel that this lends credence to the fact that it works for an application (be it WinForms or in-browser JavaScript) and not for a service (web sites/services, as if there's a real difference).
@David Although, I must say that the current rise in event-driven server-side and client-side code (with a thin layer of request/response in the middle) is rather interesting. It's almost like WebForms-done-right.
The "events" feel like they make sense in a user interface, whereas the "requests/responses" make sense in a machine interface. And many ASP.NET developers I've encountered forget that a web application is a machine interface with the browser, where the user interface is presented.
I think the difference is in how one thinks about the server in the context of the "site". For a traditional website with pages of content, the server is the site. But for an application, the server is essentially just the database + some utility code.
Idea for a new StackApp: desktop widget or browser add-on that lets you see your rep, global inbox messages and -- most importantly -- the number of votes you have left for the day for each of your accounts on a given SE site. Hidden feature: all users have their account IDs sent to the relevant mods.
It's not a question. It's just a guy saying "here's a thing that happened to me."

@jadarnel27 I'm wrong about the cause of the rep discrepancy. There were no BountyStart votes on the Formatting Sandbox post, though I once had a bounty on it that was later refunded.

Maybe the query is right and there is another bug in the profile bounty tab.
Would "Driving and Traffic Safety" be considered too closely-related to "Laws and Legal Questions"?

@jadarnel27 Discrepancy found: Adam Davis has 36 BountyStarts in the data dump, but only 35 bounties listed in his profile. Queried them, and the only missing bounty is on a deleted question. The query's right, the profile is ignoring them because it doesn't include deleted posts.
Proposed Q&A site for any traffic including drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians interested in or confused by the rules of the road such as road signs, right of way, accident procedures, parking, and more.
I have a webpage which contains radio button. The Radio button should be selected whenever the USB is inserted and it should be unchecked when Ejected.
What would be the closest equivalent in Java to a Micro ORM such as Dapper, PetaPoco, Massive or CodingHorror?
