Great, thanks
 
@Bart something I've been meaning to ask is if on SO when you have VTC do you still get a off-topic / blatantly off-topic close reason or do you have to go with a custom reason? Just noticed the other day on a post here you used a custom reason for something that just said something like not programming related. On EE where I have VTC I can't use it either but didn't know if it was a site difference.

Q: Can we have the "blatantly off topic" close vote back?

chiastic-securityQuite often, questions get asked that are really not to do with programming at all. Sometimes they're appropriate for Super User or whatever, but not always. We used to have a blatantly off-topic (this has nothing to do with programming) close reason, but it's gone for some reason. What would we...

@Bart thanks, wondered why anyone bothered with custom for the really off-topic stuff
 
That is what we see under "off-topic"
 
For flagging I still get the blatantly off-topic, I guess you'd see the same on EE.SE if you press the flag button?

I got my address!
But I've never send or received mail or parcel, what should I give in addition to my address to make sure it arrives?

@nicael Why does it bounce every time I type a letter though?
the chat clears itself then reloads
And it doesn't update when you post, I have to refresh the page
and there's no question mark

@TinyGiant Because it is adapted for the Stack Exchange, which doesn't allow you embedding custom scripts, therefore I send the letter or the message to the server using usual links, then the server handles your request and sends you back to the message board.

Huh, that's interesting. It seems Safari is about 3 times faster than Chrome at the DOM-based highlighting.
But it's about the same time with string-based highlighting.
Firefox is about 50% slower than Safari for both.

no.

IIRC they started from scratch.
 
@hichris123 The viewport is literally completely white on that page for 7 seconds with no indication of loading.
 
@bjb568 Slow internet then. It loads in 1 second for me.

1 second is still quite a lot…

1 MB of css... wtf?

@bjb568 402
lol, that's better than Safari.
Worse than Chrome, FF, and Opera though.
 
html5test weights a lot of things that aren't important pretty heavily, after you get to a decent score, it's not that good of a test.
Wiki says JS performance is meh.
What's its UA string?
 
@hichris123 I was recently talking with a MS dev who mentioned that it's using a long-running fork of the Trident engine, so I wouldn't say it was a "from scratch" rewrite
@bjb568 msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh869301(v=vs.85).aspx also had a really great conversation about why they pulled certain elements into the UA string
 
That's what I'm seeing with browserstack.
@KevinBrown Why does it impersonate Safari and Chrome? 0_O
Seems like a webkit-wannabe to me.
 
@bjb568 "KHTML, like Gecko" is pretty standard, but the Chrome part was UA sniffing mostly
 
6:42 PM
It's both Chrome, Safari, and Edge all at once! I don't even…
 
If I can find the picture of all the common UA strings next to each other, I'll send it along
 
It's a small weird browser that doesn't deserve to be like Chrome and Safari and shouldn't get their UA-specific features. Trying to impersonate them is just going to screw things up.
 
Really, people shouldn't be sniffing UA strings
 
Safari: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_4) AppleWebKit/600.7.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.7 Safari/600.7.11
Chrome: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/43.0.2357.124 Safari/537.36
FF: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Safari says who it is, Chrome says who it is with the bonus that it's rendering engine is forked off webkit, FF says who it is.
 
Yup, they're all like Gecko. Every one of them.
 
6:45 PM
Trident Spartan just can't figure out its identity.
 
Also, AppleWebKit isn't just specific to Macs, that's what Chrome uses everywhere because people sniff for the "Apple" as well
 
AppleWebKit is developed by Apple!
And is called WebKit!
 
If there's any that you should be complaining about, it's the Windows Phone UA string
> Mozilla/5.0 (Windows Phone 10.0; Android 4.2.1; DEVICE INFO) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.71 Mobile Safari/537.36 Edge/12.0
 
That's awful.
 
6:49 PM
Which identifies as both WP 10 and Android, as well as Firefox/Gecko, Chrome, (Mobile) Safari, and Edge
 
I can pardon like Gecko because history, but including somebody else's name in your own is just not acceptable.
 
Webkit is a collaborative effort which is what safari, chromium, chrome and so many others are based on
 
@TinyGiant originally and mostly apple
 
@bjb568 mostly?
 
… yes
 
6:51 PM
@bjb568 "WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the OS X system framework version of the engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X applications. WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code began as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE."

@3дравыйСмысл It's Kevin Brown's fault.
 
> The HTML on the site is buggy, but WebKit's error recovery does not match other browsers. This is a very common scenario for WebKit as our error handling is still a bit more strict than other browsers. In this case the bug is still our responsibility, since whenever possible we want to match other browsers' error recovery behavior.
Apparently you can submit a bug if webkit does not fail in the same way as the other browsers

@nicael It's 3дравый Смысл's fault.
 
How would I read that? :D
 
@TinyGiant Yup:
In Web development, "tag soup" refers to syntactically or structurally incorrect HTML written for a web page. Because web browsers have historically treated HTML syntax or structural errors leniently, there has been little pressure for web developers to follow published standards, and therefore there is a need for all browser implementations to be able to treat what looks like HTML as "tag soup", accepting and correcting for invalid syntax and structure. An HTML parser (part of a web browser) that is capable of interpreting HTML-like markup even if it contains invalid syntax or structure may be...

If this is not like that, then make that like this :)

@Braiam for Windows?
 
@cybermonkey I don't remember that Windows firewall logs by default all denied connections, of course, commercial firewalls may/may not have that facility
 
@cybermonkey Only counts? That can be done with the performance counters on the Network Interface or TCpV4 or TCPv6 if you are interested of stats higher up the stack
