11/28 Totally Turktacular Tuesday

Woot! They're coming today!!! And now I have the number for the manager for the local UPS plant! Super helpful lol

 

Make sure you go to chrome://extensions and enable "local URI/URL (they keep changing what they call it) access" for Tampermonkey. Otherwise you'll end up in a lot of frustration. And I'm sure you already know to prefix your local URLs with file:///, but I'll put it here for anyone that's driving by the conversation and whats to try it out.

 

I saw accunt used as a word in Kasistos today.

 

I checked and I have 4 of my orders all coming in today.

 

I'm about to throw a Mad Labs back. I just dont wanna.

 

fly, little mad labs, fly free

 

@ChrisTurk what are the benefits of WebStorm that would make it a good purchase over opensource?

 

I feel ya. I don't bother setting up a local file when I'm just writing a few lines of code.

I have this set up as my default skeleton (needs a few additions I'd been meaning to get around to, now that I think about it):

PHP:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         New Script (, skeleton)
// @namespace    ,
// @version      1
// @description  .
// @author       Cuyler Stuwe (,)
// @include      *
// @grant        GM_info
// ==/UserScript==

const DEBUG_RUN_IN_TOP_FRAME = false;
const DEBUG_RUN_IN_IFRAME_ONLY_BUT_DONT_REQUIRE_MTURK_REFERRER = false;
const DEBUG_ALWAYS_PASS_SANITY_CHECK = false;
const DEBUG_PAINT_TRIGGERED_FRAMES_RED = false;

const SANITY_CHECK_TEXT_STRING = "Words go here";

function isInMturkIframe() {
    if(DEBUG_RUN_IN_TOP_FRAME) {return true;}
    else if(DEBUG_RUN_IN_IFRAME_ONLY_BUT_DONT_REQUIRE_MTURK_REFERRER) {return (window !== window.top);}
    return ( window !== window.top && (document.referrer.includes("mturk.com/mturk/preview") || document.referrer.includes("mturk.com/mturk/accept") || document.referrer.includes("mturk.com/mturk/continue") || document.referrer.includes("mturk.com/mturk/return") || document.referrer.includes("mturk.com/mturk/previewandaccept") || document.referrer.includes("worker.mturk.com/projects/")));
}
if (!isInMturkIframe()) {return;}

function passSanityCheck() {
    if(DEBUG_ALWAYS_PASS_SANITY_CHECK) {return true;}
    if(SANITY_CHECK_TEXT_STRING && SANITY_CHECK_TEXT_STRING.length > 0) {
        return document.body.innerHTML.includes(SANITY_CHECK_TEXT_STRING);
    }
}

function runOnStart() {
    if(DEBUG_PAINT_TRIGGERED_FRAMES_RED) {
        document.body.style.backgroundColor = "red";
    }
    // CODE THAT RUNS AS SOON AS HIT IS LOADED GOES HERE
}

function keyListener(event) {
    if(event.type === 'keydown') {

        // SCRIPT KEYDOWN CODE GOES HERE

    }
    else if(event.type === 'keyup') {

        // SCRIPT KEYUP CODE GOES HERE

    }
}

function clickListener(event) {

    // SCRIPT CLICK CODE GOES HERE
    switch(event.target) {
        default:
            break;
    }

}

(function main() {

    if(!passSanityCheck()) {
        console.log(`FAILED SANITY CHECK: ${GM_info.script.name}`);
        return;
    }
    else {
        console.log(`PASSED SANITY CHECK: ${GM_info.script.name}`);
    }

    runOnStart();

    document.addEventListener('keydown', keyListener);
    document.addEventListener('keyup', keyListener);
    document.addEventListener('click', clickListener);
})();

Starting from this skeleton these days when writing scripts for HITs is why a lot of my scripts seem like they have way more code than they need to have.

 

Technically I use PHPStorm. As for benefits over opensource, probably none? Its just what I picked and stuck with it. Once I set up plugins/settings/themes I mate for life with software

 

I have the number for my local USPS branch manager but the thing is...they just dont give a shit. You call USPS and complain and they are like "So what" - Nothing like unions

 

I REALLY wanted to like WebStorm/etc. (I have an academic license and it's the IDE I started with), but I HATE the concept of software by subscription. So I abandoned it for VS Code, which runs faster on my Yoga anyway. JetBrains has a good product line on their hands, though.

I copied that when you posted it before. I pared it down a little, since most of my scripts get turned off when not in use. But it has helped me make things a little more organized. Oooh PFA byeeeee!

 

Morning everyone. Looks like I woke up just in time for some PFA.

I don't understand how PFA is $10/hr on TV. These images load so slow.
