Site DiscussionLinks in long topics don't workI tried to post a link to my posting: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4655#comment-74144 but it just posts a link to the first page of a 2-page discussion and doesn't connect to my posting. Seems broken. A bug with collapsed views, and some thinking aloudSteps to reproduce: a) View a forum topic in a collapsed view, say collapsed threaded. A page pops up that looks like the reply page, but it's different. Posting a comment there doesn't reply to the comment you're seeing. This is the reason for this empty comment of mine. I couldn't see any way to delete the comment after I'd moved it to the right place. Perhaps it would be less confusing if the form on a comment url replied to that url? That's what HN does. Or we could follow reddit and get rid of that form altogether. --- I've been bouncing around between views as a way to make sure I don't miss any comments. What do others do? Does everyone use the global track page? It seems unsatisfying for some reason (partly I keep forgetting it exists). And the asterisks feel unreliable because I'm afraid I navigated away without reading all of them. "Next Page" comment links not workingSay for example, http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4535#comment-73053, it loads the first page, and can't jump to the comment because its on the second page. solution to the ever narrowing posts problem?are there any drupal hackers who could somehow fix the ever narrowing text problem? :-) why inheritence in OOP?I thinking about the design of the object model of a new programming language, and am leaning away from the idea of inheritance. As far as my understanding goes, inheritance serves the following purposes: * re-use of code in the child class by inheriting functionality from parent classes * helping/enabling polymorphism by creating classes that have similar enough capabilities to make them "compatible" to a greater of lesser extent. Have I missed anything or got aything wrong? Does anyone know of any language type models that do not use inheritance? Does anyone have a view of the pros & cons of such a model? I've looked at what has been in Go, and my initial impression is that I like it. Thanks, Mark. Annual Peter Landin Seminar: 6 December 2011, 6pm, Covent Garden, London.

Parsing expression grammarhello everyone In few days Iam Keep intersting of Parsing expression grammar and I have read and study about it but ineed to full reference for it so if any one could give me name of areferences Iwill be very glad to him Best wishes Forum Topics and StoryHi Elder Citizens of LtU, I'm a new user to LtU. I noticed that there are two types of posts in LtU: the Forum Topics and the Story. At the moment, I can only see the link to post new forum topics, but I don't see the link to post a story. Is it because I'm a new user? What are the criteria for a user to be qualified to post a Story? I looked throw the FAQ and many other documents on the site. But not able to found any guideline on this issue. RSS feed broken?The XML link on the main navigation seems to be invalid. Here's the output from w3c's feed validator: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Flambda-the-ultimate.org%2Frss.xml what platform is LtU built on?Hi, I've been pulling together a web site, somewhat inspired by LtU, focused on network protocol issues. I really like the way LtU is organized, and Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and all that, I wonder if somebody can illuminate me about the platform that LtU is built on (looks like Drupal), modules in use, themes, and so forth? (I can't seem to find any kind of description document buried on the site.) Thanks very much, Miles Fidelman |
