Problems with Gitlab

[Joanna]

JUST ONE LAST COMMENT, JOANNA, IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAPSLOCK KEY WHEN YOU ARE WRITING CODE? ONLY MY CAT WILL DO THAT!

Thaddy my caps lock works fine. Code is supposed to be written in upper case because it is more readable.
Passports, driver’s licenses and other government documents also use upper case for important parts.
Did you not know that important things are written in upper case? Don’t ever look at my code again if you have a problem with it being important to me

Mark I’m a bit confused by your post with a quote from something I said to the chatbot . You might want to double check it.

May be the Gitlab, GitHub have an anti intrusion filter keeping out anybody with a 'J' as first parsed character of user id and who's code is written only in uppercase ?

You can add multiple email addresses to your gitlab account. I use my regular email address to login to gitlab, while my lazarus-ide.org address is added as additional address.

Yes but it still is a bug in Gitlab and should be fixed. No other site requires an email verification every time you switch between computers, and it makes no sense.
Do others experience the same or is it something tailored for me?

I do have other sites which behave the same. Or sites who mail you every time you log in that you logged in from a different computer.

Maybe it has something to whith the "cloudflare" (or how is it called) middleware to detect atackers/apammers based on the reputation of you IP block or whatever. IIRC i've installed some plugin of them to ease identification

I have to do verification every time, also from one day to the next on the same machine.

My apologies, markup problem now fixed in situ.

Code is supposed to be written in upper case because it is more readable.

Actually, it is not. Pascal is case-insensitive, and there was a recognition during the 1980s that lowercase was easier to read quickly because there was more variation in letter shape: characters didn't do their best to fill an entire 5x7 (or whatever) cell.

Modula-2, which Wirth worked on after Pascal, requires uppercase reserved words (and I think is case-sensitive); I can't speak for his later languages, but quite frankly I like the Modula-2 convention. Ada is case-insensitive, C etc. are case-sensitive and lean towards lowercase.

Wirth's experience before Pascal was mostly on computers with 6-bit character sets, which quite simply did not have lowercase characters (but often did have special characters for greater-than-or-equal comparisons etc.), as well as an arrow for assignment.

And older passports, bills etc. were uppercase because they were produced using high-speed (>= 600LPM) drum printers where the smaller the character set the faster they could run.

Government documents are still upper case last time I checked. If lower case was so great why is this so?
Pascal was once a popular programming language that was programmed in upper case and now it is a language hardly anyone uses with people using lower case.

I’m sorry but trying to mimic the lower case look of c language is not going to make anyone switch to pascal. Might as well program pascal in upper case and pretend its still popular.

Perhaps there is some kind of troll guard.

Troll /gate/: such things were a great aid to organised communication when they came into widespread use :-)

I guess you can’t go there can you ?

No problem to get there. I wonder that hassle.

Ahem, at the risk of getting my head chopped off and being called names much stronger than 'chatbot' I suppose it would be asking too much to have a look at that all-capitalized code? ( Please? )

[Joanna]

Hi aruna thanks for stopping by chat. But why the silent treatment? That is so unlike you.. 

I’m sure thaddy can guide you to whatever snippet of code he was ranting and raving about.
