@QPaysTaxes :D

ArtOfCode

because humans are the most supremely logical species

Honestly, I'd love to train up and pilot the AAs, but the standards are insane.

@QPaysTaxes it ain't too difficult, to be honest. But yeah, under stress...

or in extreme conditions

though I guess the Navy guys get those more than the AAs

Thomas Ward

@ArtOfCode My only guess is "answers" have a different API response key/value. Want to get me a raw api response for a question so I can work on it in 30m when I stop being in transit between locations?

ArtOfCode

@QPaysTaxes Simulator hours? Pfft, amateur ;)

@ThomasWard it's fixed

Thomas Ward

cool what was the fix and can i see the commit

@QPaysTaxes this is why you pull I-don't-know-what favours and get into the Navy as a civilian accessory but still get to do training

then they let you fly real helicopters, while paying you for the privilege

@QPaysTaxes yeah, nor me. I was kinda glad I was a civ, despite the ribbing

@ArtOfCode Well that explains it, though I might have an improvement

@ArtOfCode FWIW, the nested try/except issue is what caused issues with answer handling being broken and unfixed for a while heh

ArtOfCode

@ThomasWard you're welcome to fix it if you've got ideas

SmokeDetector

CI on 843572c succeeded.

ArtOfCode

I just did the obvious thing that would probably work

Thomas Ward

I already did - try/except wrapped around if/elif/else

that way barring any really weird things, it all works as it should

and won't actually cause error failover cases

the if/elif/else is also a little clearer to understand, and if it really explodes well we're doing something wrong to begin with so then everything gets post id 0

@QPaysTaxes ah. Yeah, the NSFW link was the other report :)

quartata

Oh I just didn't click on it. Easier that way.

ArtOfCode

@quartata yeah, not all of us were that smart

someone clicked on the link without looking at the target

huh

so this room doesn't have [tag] formatting

@Riker generic parented rooms don't have tags

Riker

yeah, but the ones in teh room description do

404 though

ArtOfCode

they're pseudo-tags, I guess

Hey, on second thoughts, if you're going to link to an NSFW video and get yourself nuked for it... at least put some effort into finding something worthwhile

Riker

@QPaysTaxes hm, okay

Wooowww

So I've spent the last several hours trying to debug something

I'm trying to detect which part of the text of a UILabel was tapped

And to do that, I need an NSLayoutManager

So I created a property called layoutManager to store this NSLayoutManager, but then I've been getting really weird bugs

The problem is that UITableViewCell has a private property called layoutManager, which is of a completely unrelated type

and Objective-C's ridiculous dynamism caused writing to one to also overwrite the other

(even though I'm not even programming in Objective-C -- UITableViewCell is written in Objective-C, and my class is a Swift subclass of UITableViewCell)
