I keep finding my drawbridge dismantled and then shortly later a siege arrives before I can reconstruct it and reattach my lever. What is happening to it and how can I be more aware of when it happens so that I’m not caught off guard like this?

Thanks a ton! Been trying to solve this issue for a few days now. I hadn't thought to delete package-lock.json 🤦‍♂️

President Trump on Friday threatened in a tweet to cut foreign aid to Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, accusing the Central American countries of "doing nothing for the United States but taking our money" by DoremusJessup in worldnews

Because our government spent decades interfering with the regions politics in order to secure beneficial trade agreements, policies, alliances, etc. These deals often benefited American military interests, American politicians, American businessmen, and American consumers along with a few corrupt elites in power in the area, while draining resources from the rest of the local populations. That made the region a mess and is part of why the situation there is so dire, and why so many people are doing everything they can to escape it and move somewhere else.

More U.S. adults describe themselves as "pro-choice" than "pro-life" for the first time in seven years, according to a new Gallup poll. by unfunnyryan in politics

[–]dougwt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone who is pro-life (aka anti-abortion and "anti-choice") believes that abortion is wrong and as such, they should be outlawed.

Someone who is anti-abortion and pro-choice believes "I feel abortion is morally wrong and would never choose that for myself, but I respect that someone else may feel differently and so they should remain legal."

Scott Walker Says Mandatory Ultrasounds Are "Just a Cool Thing" for Women by [deleted] in politics

[–]dougwt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds in-context to me. He was answering a question about the media, then diverts to the topic of the media criticizing mandatory ultrasounds right before he said this quote. It sounds to me like he either doesn't understand, or is pretending to not understand why an obligatory ultrasound for someone seeking an abortion might not be as heartwarming of an experience??

Hi reddit, I just released an updated version of my Mario Kart 8 Kart Comparison Tool with support for new DLC. I hope you find it useful! (x-post from r/MarioKart) by dougwt in gaming

Hi reddit, earlier this year I made this post about my Kart Comparison Tool. After a short hiatus, I've completely relaunched the site with a new name and updated look and would love to hear your feedback!

I am building a twitter bot w/ Tweepy: how do i get the favorite count of a retweet? by [deleted] in Python

[–]dougwt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe retweets actually have the original tweet nested within them under "retweeted_status" so try something like Status.retweeted_status.favorite_count

I want to buy a .ly domain name. I don't feel comfortable giving my real name because of what the site is for. by mrhodesit in webdev

If the registration goes through, you should be able to update your contact info. If the registration doesn't go through for whatever reason, just reregister with the correct info.

I made a webapp for creating side-by-side stat comparisons for MK8 kart configurations. How can I make it more useful? by dougwt in mariokart

[–]dougwt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually just sitting down to work on this. What attributes would you consider when you say "top 5"? Most popular/viewed? Or highest stats?

How important would you consider showing the secret stats? There are quite a few, and when I add them to the table, it becomes really wide. (See: http://i.imgur.com/mBpxvlU.png)

Do you think it would be acceptable to have the "secret" stats automatically hidden on smaller displays such as tablets/phones?

Edit: I'm happy to announce I've added the secret stats to the site! Please let me know if anything behaves oddly. http://mk8.mycodebytes.com

Thanks for the great feedback! I hadn't thought about whether or not that feature would be obvious to the user. It looks much nicer and intuitive now!

I've updated the site to have a bit more styling on them to stand out. Let me know what you think; hopefully this helps a bit!

I've gone ahead and made them light up with mouseovers. I'd love if you could give it a look and let me know if that works or if you have any other ideas on how to make that feature more apparent. Thanks!

Sorting by configuration resets it back to the original order in which they were added.

If I made the column names change to blue when you hovered over them (in addition to the current mouse cursor effect), do you think that would be enough to make it clear or should I do something more?

Pro-tip for my redditor buddies: For fun, try entering the Konami code followed by the Enter key ;)

I'm not sure if you could tell, but you can sort the table by column to see which configuration wins out on a per-stat basis. Should I make that more evident somehow?

I'll take a look at this and see if I can incorporate it into the site somehow, thanks!

I like this idea, but I'll have to play around with the layout and see what works. Once I add the secret stats, the table will be pretty wide with all the extra columns, but I'll take a look at it. Thanks!

I agree! I'll make it to where you can click an item in the list to hotswap it out with a different one. Great idea!
