@rahuldottech mergers are messy if done wrong

and closing old questions as new ones can but are rarely a thing

pkamb

the questions are only 2 days apart btw.

does Super User have different close vote totals? seems like it should be dupe'd now, at 5+ dupes.

Michael Frank

Those are comment upvotes, not actual close votes.

pkamb

oh, I've always thought that seamlessly added to the total haha

feels like twitter just dosen't want to moderate anymore, so reinvents mastodon :D

pkamb

i think additional flags do/did upvote the existing comment. But upvotes to the comment don't flag. Confusing!

@CaldeiraG i don't mean to be a grump but... not sure that your comment was needed

i know i probably shouldn't but i refer back to the old CoC and use the "Be Nice" philosphy. you never know the guy might come back :)

CaldeiraG

@Burgi I agree but it's a indirect way to say I flagged it anyways :)

Burgi

fair enough :)

CaldeiraG

@Burgi Assume good intentions is probably the best rule that was out there

@CaldeiraG not everyone agrees

Burgi

this is terrifying

Q: Is there a time when browsers will not support HTML4

I want to know when the browsers will stop supporting HTML4. My customer has a website with a lot of frames and framesets and we have to plan the migration.

frames died out at the turn of the century!

CaldeiraG

12:40 PM

@JourneymanGeek Well of course, it's gone now

@Burgi <frame> or <iframe>?

Burgi

@JourneymanGeek this needs migrating before it gets too old... superuser.com/q/1491945/393570

@CaldeiraG <frame>

although i hate using iframes

CaldeiraG

ah ok then :)

Burgi

its always a cludge and they deliver a poor experience

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi will need to do it at home. Flag and say it has my approval for MSE please

Burgi

already done

Make a command to destroy/end your data cap at once. For example, wget "someUrl" > /dev/null.

Burgi

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi will try then. For some odd reason I cannot migraine to mse on my phone

@Burgi Apparently MSE isn't a migration target

Burgi

bertieb

Jinx!

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi apparently there's a wierd little quirk of custom migrations that kicked my tail ;p

Last minute gift ideas for the programmer in your life

Ryan Donovan on December 12, 2019

Did you, like me, wait until the last minute to buy holiday gifts for your programmer friends? Maybe we can help. We asked our engineering team what gifts they like and would appreciate receiving. We’re publishing their responses in full below in the hopes that you can find inspiration for your upcoming holiday gift frenzy a la Jingle All the Way.

If, like the Angular framework, you are opinionated, then drop us a comment about the gifts that we forgot to highlight. Because I still have some shopping to do. …

Well... black screen. The system still accepts inputs. Basically had to download the AMD Removal Tool, put it onto a portable SSD, plug it in, and blindly input the correct commands. Yikes.

I'm falling back on the last Adrenalin 2019 release.

My Christmas wishlist is to be able to run VSCode as a normal user, but then attach an Admin session to the integrated Powershell terminal so I can "Run with (Admin Terminal)"
