| 01:06 | | Derakon changed the topic of #code to: Welcome to #Code! || Ask, then hang about till someone appears who can help: We have high latency, but excellent signal. || We <3 newbies. || Rants and monologues are encouraged; many cores, no waiting || Pastebin: http://pastebin.starforge.co.uk/ (Antispam question: answer 'yes') |
| 01:07 | <&Derakon> | (Fixed the heart) |
| 01:08 | <&ToxicFrog> | Shouldn't it be ⥠|
| 01:12 | <&Derakon> | Dunno if that'd work properly on all clients. |
| 01:15 | <&ToxicFrog> | It serves has a handy test for whether your client is properly configured~ |
| 01:27 | <@Alek> | :P |
| 01:27 | <@Alek> | my client can see it, but not type it. |
| 01:27 | <@Alek> | although I can handily type it in my browser. |
| 01:27 | <@Alek> | alt-3 |
| 01:28 | <@Alek> | ÑиÑа |
| 01:31 | <&ToxicFrog> | compose-<-3 |
| 01:37 | <@Alek> | mactivist. :P |
| 01:46 | <&ToxicFrog> | What? |
| 01:55 | <@Alek> | nothing, nothing. |
| 01:55 | <@Alek> | I kid. |
| 01:55 | <&McMartin> | Macs don't have a compose key as a rule |
| 01:55 | <@Alek> | well, it's certainly not on windows keyboards. |
| 01:56 | <&McMartin> | ελλενικη |
| 01:56 | <&McMartin> | It's usually mapped to right windows if you have it enabled. |
| 01:56 | <&Derakon> | Macs just dedicate one of their meta keys to generating special characters |
| 01:56 | <@Alek> | how do you enable that? |
| 01:56 | <&Derakon> | E.g. option+e will put a ? on thet next character you type. ? etc. |
| 01:56 | <&Derakon> | And ? is option+2, ? is option+3, etc. |
| 01:57 | <&McMartin> | Offhand I'm not sure. I'm typing Greek by dynamically rebinding my keyboard layout with Ctrl-Shift. |
| 01:57 | <@Alek> | well, windows does allow mapping different keyboards and switching them with (by default) left alt-shift. |
| 01:57 | <&ToxicFrog> | I just mapped capslock to compose |
| 01:58 | <&ToxicFrog> | God knows I wasn't using it for anything else |
| 01:58 | <@Alek> | hm. left alt-left shift toggles between freely. right alt-right shift doesn't seem to do anything. left alt-right shift switches one way, right alt-left shift switches the other way. |
| 01:59 | <@Alek> | that's something I hadn't known. |

| 10:39 | <@Shiz> | my mac just uses dead keys. |
| 11:57 | < RchrdB> | Alek: on windows I use "WinCompose" to turn my menu key into a compose key. |
| 11:58 | < RchrdB> | So pressing "menu, <, 3" gets me a ⤠|
| 12:38 | <@froztbyte> | Tarinaky_: sorry, things started running about yesterday and I didn't get to read then |
| 12:38 | <@froztbyte> | generally I find reading the source to be a more truthful experience |
| 12:38 | <@froztbyte> | documentation might be out of date, etc |
| 12:38 | <@froztbyte> | but the source will tell you exactly what's going on |
| 13:33 | <&ToxicFrog> | I would rather have no documentation than lying documentation, but even with the most clearly written source, good documentation is preferred. |
| 13:34 | <@froztbyte> | oh, sure, documentation can be a pretty great help |
| 13:34 | <@froztbyte> | but hating on reading the source seems like an inefficient approach |
| 13:36 | <&ToxicFrog> | Having the option to read the source. |
| 13:36 | <&ToxicFrog> | Is good. |
| 13:36 | <&ToxicFrog> | Having to read the source is hateworthy, because it means the documentation is either absent, incomplete, or lying. |
| 13:37 | <@froztbyte> | irunno |
| 13:38 | <@froztbyte> | sometimes concepts just don't transfer nicely |
| 13:38 | <@froztbyte> | which might be a form of bad communication, or it might just be a "that shape doesn't fit in my head easily" thing |
| 13:38 | <@froztbyte> | anyway, I was mostly curious about Tarinaky_'s remark |

| 17:08 | < abudhabi> | Anyone know if there are UTF characters for a filled square, empty square, filled circle and empty circle that are actually the same dimensions? |
| 17:09 | < abudhabi> | I've found some that are kinda-sorta, depending on where I put them. On Windows and in the terminal, they're OK fits. But on Linux browsers, they are rendered at different sizes. |

| 17:37 | <@celticminstrel> | I'd expect them to be the same dimensions as long as they're the same font... |
| 17:40 | < abudhabi> | Hmmm. You may be right. |
| 17:41 | < abudhabi> | When I copied them to my terminal, then pasted them without formatting back into my HTML editor, they changed size to be right. |
| 17:41 | <@celticminstrel> | So, maybe the browser is displaying one in a different font because the requested font doesn't have that character? |
| 17:42 | <@Tamber> | Perhaps. |
| 17:45 | < abudhabi> | Ugh. Yeah. Probably. It works fine in monospace, but fails everywhere else. |
| 18:30 | <@Shiz> | are you sure you don't want <pre> |
| 18:30 | <@Shiz> | or event font-family: monospace |
| 18:32 | <~Vornicus> | You also want, if there's spaces in it, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space |
| 18:37 | < abudhabi> | I'm using font-family: monospace. |
