Literally every table in the database is doing this...
Apparently it was because the configs made the InnoDB engine be in "recovery" mode. Turning that off and everything looks back to nomal.
Well, after I ran "repair table" on the affected permissions table that was the original reason why mysqld wasn't starting....

@dkf said in The Official Status Thread:
(?>
…)
is a positive lookahead constraint that is zero width but only matches at points where its body can be matched; the character after the(?
magic determines what the meaning of the sub-RE is,:
for simple non-capturing,>
or=
for positive lookahead depending on dialectThe syntax that I was familiar with was
(?= )
for positive lookahead and(?! )
for negative lookahead.Ah, I've just looked it up and
(?>
is for non-backtracking REs, not lookaheads. (My bad.) They're… not what I'd recommend anyone using without being a rather deep RE guru; the concepts involved don't really make sense unless you know quite a lot about how the particular engine's finite state machine works. The concept is non-portable too; there are engines which don't really need them in the first place (but take longer to compile the RE as a consequence). A really good replacement for them is a simple non-capturing sub-RE.I've not had nearly enough coffee yet to write a coherent explanation of what's going on. I don't think I'm going to get to that level of nirvana any time soon either.

@anotherusername said in The Official Status Thread:
@dkf this seems like a pretty clear explanation of what it does:
Yes, but understanding why you'd want to do it in a complex RE is one heck of a lot more difficult than you'd think. For example, what does
a(?:(?>bc|b)|b)c
match? Or how do you know when there's a part of the RE that need this sort of thing applying to it? I know enough about how RE engines actually work to know that I'd really want to not have this feature involved if at all possible.There are RE engines which don't need this sort of thing in the first place because they don't need to do nearly so much backtracking. But they're deeply confusing in other ways. jwz's old saw about “now you have two problems” isn't exactly true, but it often feels appropriate…

Status: The people who built the thing we have to work with clearly read Eric Lippert's blog post about how the actor pattern in C# really benefits from multiple dispatch, and implemented that. They also implemented deep DDD and their own messaging system that accomplishes things vaguely equivalent to SOAP, on top of a system that does 90% of that stuff for you in a more sane way.
They explained to us how it works just a bit ago. I hereby officially proclaim them practitioners of Goldberg Driven Design.
Today marks the first time I have ever openly laughed in someone's face after they explain something to me, saying it's even easier than just calling methods and using their results. I don't want to touch this.

Status: Intending to prove my wife wrong (and because she's out of town), I decided to do a side by side comparison of Kraft boxed mac & cheese against our store brand mac & cheese (same size box, half the price). Backstory: Not having been raised on Kraft mac & cheese, I naively thought that the store brand was just as good, but when I convinced her to try the store brand, she proclaimed it unfit. So, naturally, I decided to find out.
Side by side comparison results are in. Quite frankly, there's no contest. Kraft wins. The store brand was okay, but it wasn't Kraft. For half the price, I'd eat it, but if you've eaten hundreds of gallons of Kraft boxed mac & cheese in your lifetime and you're craving Kraft boxed mac & cheese, the store brand simply won't suffice.
In other news, I've eaten two boxes of mac & cheese, prepared according to the directions (1 box calls for 1/2 stick of butter and 1/4 cup 2% milk). Recommended serving size, 1/3 box, or about 1 cup prepared. Approximately in the neighborhood of 2300-2400 kcal total.
And no, I probably won't mention this experiment to my wife.

STATUS:
New manager is trying to institute his super bureaucratic system on the team of 3 people.
Meeting a week ago:
M: We will add jira and slack. For every feature we work on, we will have a ticket open in jira. Then, each morning, we will have a standup, after which you will all write into slack which tickets you closed yesterday.
Me: Wait. If you already have jira, why do you need us to write down tickets on top of that?
M: ... but how will I know what you closed?
Me: Umm... doesn't jira have, like, a way to list recently closed tickets or something?
M: Dunno... I guess. But I am used to slack.
...
Today, we are invited into a slack group and told to all write our today's TODO-s. Still no jira, so no ticket numbers, luckily.

Don't know. He was being really weird and staring at the baseboards last night, but then that's just normal cat behavior.
I'm hoping he finds it, tries to play with it, and then I don't have to know what happens to it from there. But I suspect a.) It's much faster than him, and b.) Knowing him, I'm going to come home and find him hiding in the tub rather than doing something about it. He's a shit hunter, which is weird as he's a rescued feral.

Status: Trying to set up a new software system, it's an upgrade to a single-workstation piece of software and has a server component with a licencing service.
I put the key we've just bought into the licence service, it's accepted and says the licence server is online...the clients still show 'TRIAL' on them.
Spoke to support, I have to put the key into the clients manually. What is the point of having a licence server then if it doesn't, you know, serve licences

@cursorkeys the license server is probably just there to tell clients "yes that license key is valid".

I can make a pretty decent mac & cheese from scratch. Still, the boxed stuff has a sort of appeal to it. As you said... there's something about that nuclear orange cheese sauce.
What's even better is the Velveeta & shells box mixes that they sell, but those are considerably more expensive than the plain old Kraft mac & cheese. (Although, the store brand Velveeta-style processed cheese is just as good as the real stuff, so either the shells & cheese mix or just making some regular pasta and adding some milk and a whole bunch of the processed cheese is really just as good as the Velveeta box mix.)

@magus said in The Official Status Thread:
@jazzyjosh The exam got a D+, but the semester grade is F.
Considering that the semester grade was even worse than the paper's grade, I wonder what they would've needed to pass the semester. They probably would've needed an A or B just to get a passing semester grade... I wonder if they even actually "forgot" about the paper, or if they just said fuck it.

@dcon That's definitely .
Unfortunately, a lot of PHB types know about these approaches, and know they are 'the hot new thing', but don't understand them, the purpose behind them, the ways to conduct them, or the weaknesses of them. Which is why some people - people whose managers know what they are doing, and are in a position where these things are useful (which is maybe 25% of the time) - sing the praises of daily stand-up meetings and code reviews, while others - the overwhelming majority - seethe at the idea of them as counter-productive bullshit.
