01/18 - Thataway Thursday!

They're easy to do and they're better than nothing. I've done a lot of them the past couple of days.

 

Well thanks, that brought back my scrollbar which disappeared for whatever reason, but the person I was trying to chat with was you @SilenceOfTheClams, get on chat lol

 

well at least you are out and about and being on the mend!

 

It's on my television thingy right now, so I'm aware of the score and how they've been doing lately. Yet I still think it's a bit premature to be pimping him for MVP.

 

I wrote this one and shared it with @slothbear earlier today.

PHP:

    let _lastSentPingTime;
    let _lastReceivedPongTime;

    let _onlineSinceLastPing;

    function ping() {
        _lastSentPingTime = Date.now();
        localStorage.setItem("JR_message_ping_pandacrazy", `{"theTarget": "${Math.random()}"}`);
    }

    function hasIndicatedOnlineSinceLastPing() {
        if(_lastSentPingTime !== undefined && _lastReceivedPongTime !== undefined) {
            return _lastReceivedPongTime >= _lastSentPingTime;
        }
        else {
            return undefined;
        }
    }

    function online() {

        function respondToStorage(resolve, reject, e) {

                }
            }

        }

        let isOnlinePromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

            setTimeout(() => {reject("timeout");}, MAX_WAIT_FOR_PANDA_CRAZY_RESPONSE_MS);
            if(_pcListener) {window.removeEventListener("storage", _pcListener);}
            _pcListener = respondToStorage.bind(window, resolve, reject);
            window.addEventListener("storage", _pcListener);

        });

        ping();

        return isOnlinePromise;
    }

    function addJob(gid, once, metadata) {
        let commandString = once ? "addOnceJob" : "addJob";

You can @require it in a userscript, and then use PandaCrazy.addJob(), PandaCrazy.startJob(), and PandaCrazy.online() to check whether Panda Crazy is online and send it work.

I guess I could probably add a PandaCrazy.start() method in there for sake of completeness, even though it'd basically just be opening Panda Crazy in a new window.

Then again, that might be nice, because opening a script pro grammatically gives you a handle to that window that you can use to manipulate it. And opening it in a window means no "hey" messages. Hmm.

 

Javascript arrow button keybinds that change its position.

 

What chat? There's a chat?

 

Are you sure you didn't share it with @ThisPoorGuy? I don't know that the panda crazy buttons would help me out too much

 

In keeping with the mTurk tradition, it's a closed qual that the requester @ChrisTurk no longer gives out.

 

Ah, that's right. ThisPoorGuy.

It was someone on this forum who has an avatar, so I was close.

 

I literally went to go look for the link and it doesn't work :O

 

@ChrisTurk don't make me DM people, what is this, 1999?

 

They called them PMs in 1999, so you're definitely at least still in the 2010s.

 

You are helpful yet so maddening at the same time.

 

Sorry homie, that chat is cancer.. can't really remove it, but can't let it grow anymore either.

This is my daily struggle.
