Turn thee thrice ninety degrees anticlockwise, then flip thee head over heels backwards. Proceed to sacrifice thine firstborn child at the altar of Flake, and it shall forevermore accept thine code.
Yeah, it's the "together" that I'm losing sleep over. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way I can do it without a crappy looking can-you-really-trust-me embedded browser. I'm curious if anybody has ever come up with another smooth way to integrate it.
It's too bad there's no widely-accepted API to communicate with web browsers.
@JasonC I think there is, but I don't know off the top of my head. Lemme look at some docs.
@JasonC Huh, apparently SE suggest using an integrated browser. The only other way I see of doing it is to additionally host a web server, and use the redirects to store tokens there.
I mean, I suppose I could give a user an option of doing it in their browser then copy + pasting an access token, in addition to a fully automated embedded browser.
Yeah I've been looking through the API docs, it's annoying.
I was thinking about that, but, something doesn't feel quite right about adding another server for the desktop application to depend on, when it only really needs to be able to get in touch with SE. If my server goes down, the application stops working.
@JasonC Yeah, the dependency is annoying, but the issue of maintenance can be dealt with pretty easily. Make it a dead-lightweight Node server that only responds to the redirect_uri. In the app, you generate a UUID and send that to SE as the state param; that gets passed to your web server; you store the access token against the UUID, and then your app can fetch it using the UUID.
I've seen "turn thrice widdershins" (or variations thereof, such as "turn around thrice widdershins") several times online (1, 2, 3). It seems to be Gaelic in origin, having to do with fairies, but I can't find any concrete information about where this phrase actually came from.
Any idea as to t...

well MS just needs to be able to return the dict and then that needs parsed by Smokey. And that can be stored in the pickle, but the core issue is it has to be a dict for the software to use it heh
@ArtOfCode basically, the Windows partition formats don't support UNIX-style permissions, so the umask is set in the mount options and can't be overridden because there's no support for the UNIX permissions styles
@angussidney thanks for updating with the relevant links, I just fast-typed the post and didn't think to include the relevant MS and SmokeDetector project links :)
@JasonC I COME FROM THE FUTURE WHERE DARK CHAOS POWERS ARE WIELDED BY THE MIGHTY! I NOW OWN EXISTENCE AND CONTROL THE FATE OF ALL OF THIS ERA OF TIME! THOU SHALL BOW BEFORE THE FUTURE-KIND THAT IS ME!
@quartata *looks out of the viewport of the heavy tank he's driving, then speaks over the megaphone mounted on the top of the tank* I'm sorry officer, but this isn't a car, it's a military combat vehicle.
There was a spam post caught by SmokeDetector containing an invisible link set forth on white space like follows:
[ ](hxxp://some-nsfw-image-link-or-spam-link)
... which renders pretty much as a 'space', as is the example here between these parentheses (note that in this case, the invisible li...
@ThomasWard I just ran through a kind of hilarious scenario in my head involving a future of people with very low expectations, and a time traveler who came back and said that, but it turned out all he could do was divide things really well. And nobody was impressed.
