Oh wait, is that If linha >= x And linha <= y Then chunk copy+pasted so many times the procedure length actually goes beyond the limit? If so, then yeah @Ralph's link has your answer, and your question is a bit unclear. That said, if you're looking for help breaking it down into more manageable pieces and making it more efficient altogether, Code Review remains the place to go. — Mat's Mug 14 secs ago
 
I just saw a re-open pop-up.

Posting up a on Meta, does anyone have any ideas? (If so, I'll make it for May instead of June.)
 
5:10 PM
make it for June, the meta is for collecting ideas
 
That's what I figured.
 
@EBrown A Trumps and Immigrants game. Spec to be determined (something involving one team building walls and one team for trying to dig tunnels or otherwise get past the wall).
 
I was going to make it for May if anyone here had any ideas.
 
@Hosch250 lol
 
@Hosch250 Let's not make CC's political.

I understand. We can't all be immigrants; no one wants to be a Trump.
 
@Malachi SE API is easy. :)
 
@EBrown I found it, but I haven't gotten to the part where I need to use it yet.
 
I love the SE API.
It makes it really easy for a data-gatherer like myself to get good stuff.
(There's a "w" word I should be using instead of "gatherer", for those that get me.)
 
5:15 PM
@EBrown Don't you mean an "m" word?

It's a term that refers to one who takes money for certain favours. (Illegal in many places.)
 
No, that wouldn't be the right word.
 
@CaptainObvious you gotta be %Q@#&@%$# kidding me
 
I'll put it in The Nth.
 
@Mat'sMug Don't we have the "generally crap" close option?
 
5:18 PM
@Hosch250 I use UWYA for that. ;)
 
@EBrown on-topic please. it's a term that refers to people that dump their answers in chat saying "please vote!" :)
 
@Mat'sMug Ah yes, that too.
I put it in The Nth, anyway. For those not getting it.
 
I wanted to do VLQ, but I went for TB.
 
Basically, I am very greedy for your datasets.
 
5:20 PM
@Phrancis What about animated JPGs? My phone can actually take those, it seems.
 
@EBrown aren't those called MPEGs?
 
^^
 
@Mat'sMug No, it's a .jpg that has a few frames to it.
It only happens sometimes, though.
 
never seen that. must be a virus.
 
Basically, occasionally when I take a picture, and then go back to my "Photos", the picture will actually have ~1 second of animation before it goes to the actual picture I took.
It seems to take ~1 second of video for certain pictures.
 
5:22 PM
Sounds like a bug.
 
The interesting thing is that it doesn't send the video portion when I send the pictures via messages.
It only sends the final frame.
 
Are you sure you don't have it on Video mode as long as you touch the screen?
 
did you click some interesting.jpg.exe file?
 
I might video-record it and upload it to Youtube sometime.
 
5:23 PM
@Hosch250 They are .jpg extensions.
 
Is this the Windows Phone?
 
@Hosch250 Yeah, Lumia 950.
 
> JPG does not animate.

You either saw a series of JPG images rendered with javascript or you saw a GIF file named as a JPG. A web server and browser might still recognize the correct GIF filetype, even if the wrong extension has been added to the filename.
 
@Phrancis Well on my phone it does.
 
5:24 PM
My 520 I notice sometimes takes tiny bit to render the image correctly.
It gives it a slight animated look.
 
@Hosch250 That's not what's happening.
 
shrug Well, I've never had that.
 
I was driving down the road, and took a picture of the field to the right of my car, and every time I go to look at the picture now it literally has a short clip of the field moving past my car as I'm driving.
 
Sounds like an MPG.
 
It's not, because when I send it via messages, it only sends the last frame.
 
5:27 PM
It would be super wasteful to use full MPG format for short animation
 
There's even an option in my hone, "Show as a still image."
 
I'd wager it's probably a device trick
 
> Pioneered by Lumia, living images are magical photos that extend the image with a bit of video. So if you snap a photo of your child waving his arms, you’ll see a snippet of that movement in the resulting Living Image.

I'm right, you all are wrong. ;)

5:31 PM
> What’s also cool is that the video portion of these photos has been extended from 0.6 second to one full second so you can see even more of a moment captured in time.
> But what if you take an image of a stationery object, such as close-up of a flower, or notes on a whiteboard? The camera now automatically detects if there is motion in the scene. For scenes with motion, living images plays and adds emotional value to your pictures. Your whiteboard pictures are still shown as regular static pictures.

I'd wager it's probably a device trick
 
@Phrancis It's a Windows 10 trick, not a device one.
And the video is embedded in the JPEG file.
 
@EBrown so, Harry Potter style then?
 
@Mat'sMug Yes, definitely magic.
It's actually really cool.
I like that feature.
I was taking a picture of my dog, and she was tilting her head up, and it's a 1 second video of the actual head tilt.

You really shouldn't use your own salts on password hashes and you really should use PHP's built-in functions to handle password security. Make sure that you don't escape passwords or use any other cleansing mechanism on them before hashing. Doing so changes the password and causes unnecessary additional coding. — Jay Blanchard 51 secs ago

I may have found the culprit, possibly... any JavaScript wizard around? line 900 in prettify.js & lang-vb.js
It looks as if it's matching the generic multiline string pattern before it even gets a chance to parse it as VB code to see that it should be a comment
The regex itself for matching VB comments is fine
(for some values of fine)
It even takes into account comment line continuations with _ lol

It might even be worth it to write a userscript just to grab the text, clear the prettify formatting, and then add on a different formatting

Q: Commenting code in ASP Classic

Developer JayThe way I know of hashing out code within ASP Classic is <%-- --%>. Would this be correct? Or is there another way?

 
@Quill REM statements
 
are they multiline?
 
9:06 PM
Negative
Also, deprecated
It'd be easy to add it to the VB regex though
 
There's a check for a single quote character in the multiline regex of the first link (the main-prettify file you linked), but the lang-VB's regex seems to work fine
 
Right, we'd need to somehow override the multiline (and possibly single line) patterns if the language was vb, I think
 
do you have a specific post example or something?
 
I don't know if Prettify "knows" yet what language it will be when that function is used, I would think it does but not sure how to confirm
