May 9th, 2013, 04:15 PM Actions…godboko71 » I find myself missing thoughts on forums that don't have the feature. Sometimes things just don't warrant a post. (…)
May 9th, 2013, 04:02 PM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> Just it's more gradual ;)
May 9th, 2013, 04:02 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> But in this case it is a paradigm shift whether you classify it as one or not - by moving code out of the frontside controller to somewhere else, you're inherently shifting the paradigm by separating M from C. (…)
May 9th, 2013, 03:59 PM Actions…Nao » @Arantor> Reducing duplicate code can perfectly be done without resorting to a paradigm shift... ;) (…)
May 9th, 2013, 03:29 PM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> That's ultimately what the MC part of MVC is about: you separate 'business logic' from 'data logic' - it does have some uses in terms of reducing duplicate code. (…)
May 9th, 2013, 03:28 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> The idea is to separate logic from data handling, sort of like how createPost's job is *just* to create a post, not validate whether the user *can* or not, or anything like that. It deals solely with the data and no logic around it. (…)

May 9th, 2013, 12:54 PM Actions…Nao » I'm starting to remove support for IE6/7 here and there... Not big things, but... Things I decided to stop insisting on having. Responsive layout in oldIE? Doesn't have any point, and it's full of bugs... I'm removing it, and respond.js, if nobody minds.
May 9th, 2013, 12:51 PM Actions…Nao » @Arantor> MVC, never got the point. Elk has it, and their folder structure I don't even understand anymore. I'm lost. Wedge already had enough refactoring, I'm more interested in keeping a folder structure similar to SMF, otherwise plugin authors will kill us, lol! (…)
May 9th, 2013, 07:58 AM Actions…godboko71 » I don't hate Windows 8. In fact I like its interface on tablets better then iOS. Note this is Windows 8 Pro not RT.
May 9th, 2013, 07:55 AM Actions…godboko71 » Realizing despite it all you are still in a pretty good place makes for a better day.
May 9th, 2013, 05:05 AM Actions…Arantor » @godboko71> I would argue not for the most part. They are quite happy doing what they are doing, and for the most part, it's internal clean-up. I kind of feel bad that we didn't go down the hardcore MVC route they did, but I'm comfortable with things as-is for now. (…)
May 9th, 2013, 05:03 AM Actions…godboko71 » I already forgot about elk. Should I feel bad? (…)
May 9th, 2013, 02:43 AM Actions…Arantor » Huh, I might be able to use that createList in more places now I've done a few tweaks to it, like being able to set per-row styling, based on the data itself. It's why the infraction log in the profile never used it.
May 9th, 2013, 01:22 AM Actions…Arantor » I should note, I have more Big Things under development but while I'm still noodling around with those, there will be several smaller improvements developed in the meantime. The particular stuff I have coming up... I haven't quite figured out it all yet.
May 8th, 2013, 09:58 PM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> ...that doesn't account for the net traffic, or disk I/O, or server memory allocation of serving up plenty of extra columns you probably didn't want or need in the first place.
May 8th, 2013, 09:57 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> Josh's contention is that SELECT * saves network bandwidth apparently in the request and means the query cache is more likely to be hit. The query cache is only hit when the *entire* query is the same, not just the criteria, and in any case... (…)
May 8th, 2013, 09:56 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> Oh, don't get me wrong, I have real issues with Lab and the way he does things but even as pedantic as I can be, I'm nowhere near as hardline as HappyTroglodyte is (because after seeing that I went looking)
May 8th, 2013, 09:48 PM Actions…Nao » @Arantor> i don't know enough about mysql caching to say; but i know enough about you! (…)
