Adapters are cheap.
Yeah I looked that up after posting. Fact-checking is a to getting @RaceProUK's hopes up that she'll lose her spoon.

Lot of oddball stuff; it doesn't use the Intel standard switch/LED header, opting for multiple smaller ones scattered around the place. DisplayPort instead of HDMI, which sucks for me, since none of the monitors at work have DP.
DisplayPort isn't oddball at all for monitors. I wish I had a second cable for it at work. It's more unusual to not have it these days.

Perhaps not, but it comes in to play on older monitors. A ~23" 1920x1080 LCD monitor is very usable, no matter its vintage. I run several that are several years old and have no intention on replacing them until they die as I see no compelling reason to. So while it is not oddball for brand new monitors, monitors do last for a long time and remain perfectly serviceable.
Couple that with the fact that even VGA will give you perfectly adequate resolution and quality, even on a digital display and yeah...no real reason to upgrade the monitors.

I didn't mean to imply DP was odd--I know it's the emerging standard. I meant the odd placement of other connectors, the pins that don't have connectors, and so on.

Even if the unit is correctly ms, it's wrong. That's a period, not a frequency.

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it, mail - upgrade it,
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick - erase it,
…Well. That's stuck in my head now.

The old Dialogic drivers (Intel or pre-Intel) where terrible software. At an Oracle level.

So, apparently, if you do this in PHP:
$success = $success && (bool)$this->updateDataJSON($value['table'], $v, array('ID' => $k));
It will run once. Once.
It's in a loop. It's reaching that line of code in multiple iterations. It only executes once. However, this
$this->updateDataJSON($value['table'], $v, array('ID' => $k));
Will work every time.
No, the
$success
variable is not the problem, it's not making it exit early. Not due to any code of mine, at least.PHP?

$success = $success && (bool)$this->updateDataJSON($value['table'], $v, array('ID' => $k)); // ^^
$success = $success || (bool)$this->updateDataJSON($value['table'], $v, array('ID' => $k)); // ^^
-
No, I want it to be false if the method returns 0.
And it's not the point anyway. Why would it work ONCE?
If it's invalid syntax, it shouldn't work at all. If it's something that should work, it should work every time. Not ONCE.
-
```
$success = $success && (bool)$this->updateDataJSON($value['table'], $v, array('ID' => $k));Might be better written as an `if` block?
-
If at any point
$success
isfalse
, then the&&
is short-circuited, and the right operand is never evaluated.

Oh FFS... Yeah, that's it. I fudged the return for testing and it's always false now.
Fucking hell.

Besides, it works now. I can finish up the details in the morning. Rest now.

Just take a noodle and jam it! I know of at least one dev who codes that way.

I think we know more than one. They love jamming, we get jelly.

Better jelly than SSDS. Maybe not as much better as one might hope, but better nonetheless.

Dunno. User interaction seems to be approaching the "one textbox" level, any kind of regular search methods don't work, and I'm starting to get the non avatar-clicking jellypotato all over the place, so random is covered as well.
Maybe the D was never Desktop to begin with...

Yeah, I don't even know. I'll let it run and if it isn't done by the time I go home in a few hours, I'll see if it does by morning.

Rewrite it to cache previous calculations. It'll run blindingly fast. You can look at my example in t'other thread if you can figure out the language constructs (it's similar to Basic in a lot of ways). I used an in-memory temporary table to do the caching, but a Dictionary would be fine.

Have you taken into account the possibility of integer overflow?

Oh, if I was doing this seriously I would have already. I'm just curious.

No, but I've thought about it. An exception or a strange number is fine. I'm just having fun spinning off unlimited tasks.

At a previous employer, you'd get a phone call. "This is Joe in IT. I reset your password. I'm going to call you back. Do not answer; let it go to voicemail." You'd then retrieve the voicemail with your new password, which you were told to change immediately.
Any company that had procedures so idiotic, just deserves to be fucked with.
When they did that, I would always answer. Always.
"You weren't supposed to answer."
"Sorry, I forgot.""You weren't supposed to answer."
"Sorry, I am expecting an important call about my password."I would have had fun with it. They would have thought I was mentally retarded, but I would have had fun with it.

I don't know; it makes at least some sense, if you think about it. It was a multinational corporation; "Joe in IT" was at least in another building, and probably on the other side of the planet, so you couldn't just walk over to his desk and have him write the password on a sticky-note. Emailing it wouldn't be helpful if you were locked out of email. Leaving it on a voicemail is better than just giving it to whatever random person happened to by walking by your cube when the phone rang when you weren't there; at least your voicemail is (in theory) only accessible to you. It's sure as Belgium better than posting it in a publicly visible service desk ticket.

flat;
Actually, we know what flats are here; they mean a specific type of apartment (iirc, one that generally is built so there isn't a hallway per se inside.)

I can only go off imported TV shows, which only ever mention apartments (which are frequently obscenely massive, even in central Manhattan)

The term apartment is favored in North America (although flat is used in the case of a unit which is part of a house containing two or three units, typically one to a floor [emphasis added])
