@ChrisWhite That sucks.

I've gone more than a year on a few sites, but travel and other pressures have always stopped me short of getting two years.

@tpg2114 True.

@ChrisWhite Does the StackExchange App count for consecutive days?

@ChrisWhite It's decent if OP has zero MathJax as it is not rendered (at least not on my Droid)

This is annoying. Pluto's Chombo isn't working for me :(

I mean, it's compiling w/o issues

But it's not running the simulation (simple Sedov blast)

@KyleKanos Chombo is a funny name

That was really the most constructive I can be...

@tpg2114 It is, but only because it's a foreign language word (Swahili for "tool", at least that is what their website says)

Hello

If in String theory mass of a particle depends on string vibration frequency then what is formula that describes that?

in String theory does mass of a fundamental particle (for example electron) depends on string vibration frequency?

@ChrisWhite developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/…

They could add the attribute spellcheck="true" however I think that's non-standard an probably only honored by Firefox.

I think by default Firefox only enables it for textarea boxes and not just one-line input boxes

It seems to me it's entirely client-side but that the page can provide hints for the browser like the above attribute which could make it do the desirable thing.

@Gigi10012 I don't know anything about string theory but the layman's descriptions I've seen don't talk about vibrational frequency but rather vibrational mode.

@dmckee Now with link-time-optimization (-lto) GCC 4.7 is pretty absurdly smart about some things. It has caught very subtle bugs in my code and emitted warnings that make me go "how the hell did GCC know that!?"

@BrandonEnright well the mode is related to the frequency

@DavidZ Aren't they vibrating in some strange higher dimensional manifold where the mode has more to do with which dimensions they're vibrating in rather than just the frequency? Or maybe because they're 1-dimnesional the dimensions they are vibrating in are already encoded simply by the frequency?

Nothing that weird. It's just like normal vibrational modes of real strings: the lowest mode has the fundamental frequency, a higher vibrational mode has a higher frequency, etc. I don't think the extra dimensions have anything to do with that.

@BrandonEnright yay, you used MDN and not w3schools ;p

@BrandonEnright it works everywhere

@BrandonEnright btw, if you want some attribute implemented in firefox, let me know :)

@ManishEarth I'm not a web dev at all and I usually don't care at all one way or another. I know you're a Firefox dev though so I thank you for that :-)

@BrandonEnright hah. Or any fix really, something simple preferably :)

I'm not really a "Firefox dev". Just do minor/interesting bugfixes every now and then

well I think an about:config option to set the spellchecker preference to input boxes too would be nice

@BrandonEnright huh, as in a by-default spelchek for input boxes?

Good idea.

and also, even though my default spell check dictionary is set to en_US, it switches to en_CA randomly for no reason that I can f ind

Probably easy, too

@BrandonEnright O.o

@ChrisWhite yes

@ChrisWhite canada?

And also related to spell checking, I've noticed that somehow sometimes NO dictionary is selected so even though check spelling is selected, it doesn't actually do anything and I have to manually click it to en_US

That's just strange

@BrandonEnright Does the browser give errors if you're not polite enough in en_CA mode?

@ChrisWhite Yeah it's so I can type AHHHHHH YAH and BANGIN

@ManishEarth Well it prefers the British spellings of most words. I don't have a problem with the British spellings but I don't like to be told the American spellings are wrong.

@ChrisWhite Oh and BRAH. Gotta have brah.

lol

hulu.com/watch/350669

@BrandonEnright I have to use both, so I set it to US and then get confused and annoyed when I have to type en_IN

@ChrisWhite Probably you need to rank it to kick out Jackson Pollock

@BrandonEnright Hey, it already exists

mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/app/profile/…

hooray for online tools that do grepping for you!

@ManishEarth Yay! I thought the 1 was just a boolean value, nice to see the 2 option too

Just set layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 in about:config and you should be good

@BrandonEnright nah, when it's a number it has >2 states

I wonder why 1 and 2 aren't bits so enabling both would be 3

I wonder why someone would want single line without multiline

Could be trivially added, though

@ManishEarth yeah the point is that it's trivial and it's nice to give the user choice

@BrandonEnright turns out this pref is exposed in the Advanced preferences tab

@ManishEarth these days I pretty much only look at about:config. Is that UI feature new?

@BrandonEnright lol
