12:00 AM
I.e. m.erwaysoftware.com/p/stackoverflow/188826151
 
or we could just go sync on MS, since that would not create that much of a time issue
 
could
 
add a 3-second timeout to the request to cater for MS being down
 
@Undo just curious...what's the significance of 188826151?
 
@NobodyNada keyboard mash
 
12:01 AM
ok
 
18 is the first couple chars of my SO ID and I tend to remember it
 
@ArtOfCode Don't you have a websocket to MS open anyways?
 
I just know my SO ID. As well as my IDs on a bunch of other sites, my network ID, chat ID, and Undo's chat ID because I've superpinged it so many times.
@quartata yes
 
Soo... just send a reply?
Oh I get what you mean. Derp.
 
@quartata post submission isn't done over the socket
 
12:03 AM
Sorry I thought you meant "poll every 3 seconds"
@ArtOfCode Why not?
Websockets are really great and do all sorts of things
 
really honestly, because websockets weren't a thing when MS and post submission were designed
 
0/10
 
also, I don't know of a good way to do a sync request over websockets
 
like you do one in AJAX, probably - fire, wait for response, fire callback
 
is there a charcoal se logo?
ah there it is, i'mma borrow that
needs to differentiate the five copies of Smokey on his laptop somehow heh
 
12:12 AM
you mean the shitty capital-C-in-a-circle that took me all of 60 seconds to make?
 
for some reason, charcoal-se.org is completely blank for me
 
@ArtOfCode yep that works :P
 
I've shift-reloaded and disabled caches
 
I need to know which one is 'master' and which isn't :P
 
@NobodyNada Here too
 
12:15 AM
@NobodyNada @Undo norepro
 
because i have a /tmp/ littered with copies of Smokey in various states
 
what browser @Art @Undo
 
Woah. Was norepro, switched away from the tab, came back and suddenly it's all gone.
What happens if you close the tab and open it in a new one? That fixes it for me.
 
Everything's in the HTML, and the links are clickable, but everything's blank
@ArtOfCode huh, that worked for me too
 
@NobodyNada Chrome 56.0.2924.87, you?
(chrome://version to get detailed info)
 
12:17 AM
Safari 10.0.3
Looks like it works fine, but not on a reload
 
Crap, that means it's not a browser bug.
 
Working fine on Firefox 51.1.0
 
could it be related to the insta-loading javascript?
 
entirely possible
@DavidPostill open it in a new tab, switch away and back, and is it still working?
 
@ArtOfCode Yep
 
12:20 AM
Getting a diff of the "good" and "bad" versions, according to Safari's DOM inspector...
 
@DavidPostill okay, this is weird
 
huh, they're identical
does Chrome still use WebKit?
 
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36
possibly an AWK bug
 
yep; that's why it wouldn't happen in Firefox
ok, so apparently Chrome uses a fork of WebKit, and Safari uses regular WebKit
 
Tried it in Chrome. First page load blank. Every subsequent load is fine.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Chrome 56.0.2924.87
 
12:32 AM
Confirm Firefox works. Opera replicates the behaviour David described. IE unaffected. Edge unaffected.
(yes, I have all of those installed locally)
 
I don't see a problem with that
What version of Opera?
 
Everything's there in the DOM and it's able to be interacted with; it's just all #eeeeee.
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Username similar to website in answer: Unzip HTML Email Bodies from a SQL Server database by Dusty Road on stackoverflow.com (@dorukayhan)
 
Opera 43.0.2442.991/stable, up-to-date
 
If I disable JavaScript, it works just fine
 
12:38 AM
@ArtOfCode Opera uses Blink
So no surprise
 
(which is the WebKit fork that Chrome uses)
 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36 OPR/43.0.2442.991
 
@SmokeDetector Huh, the API isn't giving me the body of this post.
 
and 537.36 is the same AWK version my Chrome is on
 
Too new?
 
12:39 AM
naa- by DavidPostill
 
@quartata MS API?
 
Yes.
And I'm using a filter so there's no reason it shouldn't
Actually I think it's giving me an empty response one second
{"items":[],"has_more":false}
yep
@ArtOfCode
 
yeah, repro
repro with no filter, too
no idea why, @Undo will need to investigate
in fact, there's a lot of weirdness there
the API is also sending posts twice in the same JSON response
 
Wha?
It wasn't doing that yesterday
 
hit /api/posts/59119;59118?key=<key> and tell me what you get
 
12:45 AM
Huh. That worked fine.
 
works, yeah, but does it send 59118 and/or 59119 twice?
 
Yeah, sends both twice it appears.
 
yeah, and miniprof shows that too
weirdness
 
sd - n
*whistles*
 
@ArtOfCode Seems prefixfree.min.js is the culprit; if I block that, it works fine
 
12:57 AM
Well, let's see if maybe that one post was just weird
waits for spam
 
@JF gonna assume you added prefixfree, since I don't recognise it. I know what it does, but what do we use it for?
 
J F
@ArtOfCode It dynamically adds vendor prefixes to your CSS. flexbox is a pain to write otherwise.
 
@JF aye, but I don't see anywhere that we use non-standard flexbox stuff
align-items is widely supported; I use it on my own website with no issues and that's compatible with every major browser
I'm trying to find properties that we need it for
 
The problem might be <html class=" -webkit-">
 
Unprefixed support is 86%+ across browsers; our userbase is likely to be using more modern browsers (read: not IE), so we can assume higher.
from a purely mercenary point of view, I'd rather have a couple minor CSS bugs than the entire site being invisible
 
J F
1:07 AM
[status-im-fixing-it-now]
 
+1
 
The nice thing about CSS bugs is that people won't even notice it's not the intended state
 
Thanks!
It seems to be working!
 
!!/alive?
 
1:13 AM
@quartata Of course
 
Slow day huh
 
Poked Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools for the domain, so we can actually get some stats on traffic
 
J F
@ArtOfCode How? There’s no GA script on charcoal-se.org.
 
metasmoke deploying
 
so there isn't
huh
pokes some more
should be, maybe CF is taking a while to push it through
 
1:21 AM
For whatever reason, CI wasn't running on JF's PR
 
@Undo S3 out
Circle also relies on S3, apparently
 
oh right
 
J F
@Undo That’s my fault — typo’d this.
 
yeah
I've got it
 
@ArtOfCode It's back up now though
maybe caching?

@Undo fwiw I kinda stole the guts of 'chat' functions from Smokey to make AquariusOne work. Trying to do some testing to see if we can determine if we're actually in the channel or not.
 
2:39 AM
@Undo any idea how we would be able to determine if the chat socket (i.e. the watcher in this room) died off?
 
@ThomasWard It sends a heartbeat every 5 minutes IIRC
 
@NobodyNada yes, but my question is how to intercept that heartbeat
 
huh? if we don't receive a heartbeat, the websocket died.
 
and if that heartbeat is shown "dead" after 5 minutes, say after someone fubars it from a call of !!/report, restart the socket.
 
right
 
2:47 AM
so we need to detect if the lastHeartbeat was > 5 minutes, and if so, restart the GlobalVars.wrap (which is the Chat.SE wrapper)
 
right
 
the question is...
... how do we detect the heartbeat.
ah, I wonder if it's this Room.SocketWatcher object...
 
New metasmoke user 'River' created
 
hmm, actually...
the most evil hackish way...
... would be to check the value of GlobalVars.wrap._br.sockets[RoomID].ws.connected
if the websocket for that given room (yes we can have many rooms joined) is False, then we should just reinit the websockets...
and reinit wrap.
hmmm
interesting, it looks like if the websocket doesn't exist, but the connection item exists, it rejoins the room...

@ProgramFOX This may sound like a stupid question, but in ChatExchange, is there a way to detect if a chat web socket is actually still 'up'?
My first assumption is "no" given that the websocket keeps respawning even if I forcibly close it in a debugging run
 
3:32 AM
@SmokeDetector isn't this spam?
 
someone reported it as spam
at least, in MS
 
It looks like spam. I made a mistake with foxit, so don't want to do the same thing

agreed
(thank you, 'retract flag' function)
 
:D
I was reluctant as last night I flagged something that I didn't realise was connected to foxit. that's the problem when covering the whole network
 
and handled.
