11/27 - Mixed-up Monday!

This is a very smart suggestion, thank you! I already saw this code on the great Owerwatch by the great @Ethraiel (lol ^_^) but I never thought about using it.. I'll remember about it in the future!

 

You're writing a class on Javascript?

 

Suggestions for decent, cheap turking laptop with touchscreen? Mine is on its way to Croakville.

 

I was at The Paris Hotel for a corporate convention a few years ago. I get up early so I go downstairs to look for coffee and some hooker solicited me. The only thing I could think of was how many was she up to by 5 am in the morning.

 

I'm afraid you'd have to go back more like 40 or 50 years. My first trip was 23ish years ago and it was a shithole even then.

 

Because hoisting any magic numbers to the top of the script helps you easily find and change the magic numbers when the ones you settled on don't feel so magical anymore.

While we're on the topic of Javascript, I made a HitList object you can use that helps insulate you from the differences in layout on the search queue and the work queue.

PHP:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         HitList Library
// @namespace    ,
// @version      1
// @description  @require this script. It does nothing otherwise.
// @author       Cuyler Stuwe (,)
// @include      https://worker.mturk.com/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

function HitList(hitListInitOptions) {

    let _hitListData;
    let _hitList;
    let _searchPageHitListElement;
    let _queuePageHitListElement;

    function _getHitListElement(reactComponentToSearchFor) {
        return document.querySelector(`div[data-react-class^="require('reactComponents/${reactComponentToSearchFor}"]`);
    }

    function _getSearchPageHitListElement() {
        return _getHitListElement("hitSetTable");
    }

    function _getQueuePageHitListElement() {
        return _getHitListElement("taskQueueTable");
    }

    function exists() {
        return _hitListData !== undefined;
    }

    function contents() {
        return _hitList;
    }

    function sourceName() {
        if(_searchPageHitListElement) {return "search";}
        else if(_queuePageHitListElement) {return "queue";}
        else {return "none";}
    }

    function init() {
        _searchPageHitListElement = _getSearchPageHitListElement();
        _queuePageHitListElement = _getQueuePageHitListElement();

        if(_searchPageHitListElement) {
            _hitListData = _searchPageHitListElement.dataset.reactProps;
        }
        else if(_queuePageHitListElement) {
            _hitListData = _queuePageHitListElement.dataset.reactProps;
        }

        _hitList = JSON.parse(_hitListData).bodyData;

        if(hitListInitOptions && hitListInitOptions.standardizeKeys) {
            for(let hit of _hitList) {
                let keys = Object.keys(hit.project);
                for(let key of keys) {
                    if(hit[key] === undefined) {
                        hit[key] = hit.project[key];
                    }
                    else {
                        console.error("Found a duplicate when trying to standardize keys!");
                    }
                }
            }

            if(hitListInitOptions && hitListInitOptions.cleanupDuplicateKeys) {
                for(let hit of _hitList) {
                    delete hit.project;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    init();

    return {
        exists,
        contents,
        sourceName
    };
}

function hitListTest() {

    let testHitList = new HitList({standardizeKeys: true, cleanupDuplicateKeys: true});

    if(testHitList.exists()) {
        console.log("hitListTest() function FOUND HitList with contents:", testHitList.contents());
    }
    else {
        console.log("hitListTest() ran but did not find a HitList");
    }

}

hitListTest();

 

Some of the stuff on the image in the description for the script does not exist for the decide the categories, like Astrology or Weddings (i think) isn't in option in the actual HIT. What are those buttons corresponding to? Also I just sort of woke up so I could be wrong about that.. still trying to finish my first cup of coffee here.

 

Life tip: Don't throw up in the shower. It seems like a good idea at first, but in the end, you feel like you are standing at the shores of Normandy.

 

I think this is the one I'm using. It definitely gets the job done.

 

Moving the chair up stairs was 100% the worst part, but yay!

 

Matt's tactic was to throw up on the bathroom floor, leave it there, assume I would clean it up.

 

It's so neat!

I feel like a slob now.

 

I'm using something similar, except not touchscreen. Have had it for like 5 years now and it's still going strong.

Other than the bezel where it looks like shit from where i dropped it and cracked it, and then one time spilled acetone on it lol.

STILL RUNS FINE!

 

Is that popcorn ceiling and carpet in there? I have a popcorn ceiling in my office and carpet and it is driving me crazy. Gonna rip all that stuff out soon and put down some pergo.

 

It takes some planning. You have to gauge whether or not there'll be chunks. If chunks - be prepared to push it down the drain with your toes. If it'll be mostly liquid - fair game.

 

If it makes you feel any better, here's what you didn't see, all the crap sitting in the hallway
