Compilation Thread of a "First Becker" search (partial)

I distrust linked rear for old Sokol reason of: if you copy the text you lose the link in a text paste and it's more work to get back

Some of you will note when I post vids I also copy the actual plain text link - that's assists people what wanna use another method of access.

Data archival is hard

Not 100% sure what you mean here, but I think you're saying leave the links themselves. At least that's what I went back and did.

If you go back into the forum archive you'll find old posts text only no links.

Notice how the forum truncates long URLs with ... In them? Those old posts are like that, and the copy paste of such a string is useless - it's no longer a link. Just a mess of noise.

Hmmm...I can't figure out how to make it do it without the truncating "...". Suggestions?
 
I got it. You have to deselect "Automatically parse links in text"

In the advanced menu.

Thanks. I finally got it.

It really does take a village - at least for me.

I wrap stuff with code tag as well.

Might have to go back and do that for the database... At one point I had proper links.

Trade being funny and exactly opposite to my point - kids these days :)
 
I think it's good how this thread is turning into nerdy talk about hyperlinks and other computer whatnot. Maybe you should change the title to something like "BK&T computer nerd thread" - and make sure you put the multisyllabic usage disclaimer in it, too....
Now, please,.....don't eff up tha interwebz with all these newfound "coding" skillz. Just put the damn skull back together.

it's simple contextual markup.

coding is another skill. which most people don't have ;)

you don't have to goto school for it, but most people don't have it even with degrees :)
 
if ($coding == true)
{
echo 'I can code';
$bragging_rights = 'yes';
$friends = false;
}
else
{
echo 'I cannot code';
$useful_real_life_skills = maybe;
}

Superb
Should there also be a

$friends = maybe;

for the second half?

I don't java - which I assume this is.

I haven't actually learned any languages since Pascal(sp?) in the 90's and I don't use what I knew, so basically I don't know any of them anymore, even BASIC

Hmm...Tap-a-Talk has hyperlinked the last few lines of the original post even though it shows up the way I want in Chrome.

To quote TBL, "Giggity."

We can drag this out for days trying to solve the T-a-T issue.

Sorry Mike.

Even though this code wouldn't compile, if you treated it like real code it'd be fine to leave it without setting all the objects, since you can create objects mid-statement it would just create an object and set it to false/true or whatever. for example, the object $bragging_rights is only created if one can code, when the else statement is run it wouldn't create it because you haven't done any coding worthy of bragging rights. :D

oh, it's PHP btw, probably the simplest code to write out there, although it's just a scripting language like PERL or JavaScript so you can't do everything with it.

I took a few classes in it because I like to do web dev stuff and think I'd do pretty well in a job involving coding. I'm stuck in the math/science part of the computer science degree I'm getting.
