It was less depressing then anticipated. Only issue I had was that InfoPath & SharePoint Designer where uninstalled because they are marked as part of Office 2013 but there is no replacement in 2016.
MS where is that replacement for InfoPath you promised us?

.CSS that hides the edit pencil button if the first post contains a keyword? Is that even possible?
No, I was more along the lines of a code change to remove the pencil for TL3s.

Status: Wondering why people in downtown areas can't drive.
On my drive into work this morning, I encountered an intersection with flashing yellow lights on the main road and flashing red lights on the crossroad. This was a change from the normal light operation at this intersection.
- Normal behavior in the suburbs where I live: drivers encountering the flashing yellow lights drive through, drivers encountering the red lights treat it as a stop sign.
- Behavior encountered in downtown area this morning: OMG!! Something's wrong! What do we do‽‽‽ Ummm … Got it! The lights must be malfunctioning, so we should treat them as a four way stop!
Belgium morons.

Mormons and their racism against the Belgians

Nevermind the undefined operation of a 4 way stop with multiple lanes.

Huh...we're up to 108 TL3s. That's the most I've ever noticed.
Oh great. 108 people fully trusted to dick around with my thread titles without my consent. Lovely.
That's more people than I even know in real life.

Status: Why do I still have every single email I've received at WtfCorp (to the tune of 20gb in Gmail)? So I can have answers when a complaint about my not attending a meeting that was scheduled 3 minutes in advance at lunch for 3 hours makes its way through the management network.
"I was fucking eating, and then I was doing my actual job instead of somebody else's" isn't acceptable, apparently. So I had to go through all the other shit I did that day to find some marginally acceptable thing to have been doing instead.

I think we need to draw the line of replacing thread names with emojis. It was a pain in bollox finding this thread on my phone yesterday.
The reason I stopped complaining isn't because it stopped getting annoying, but that I stopped trying to use my phone with this site. Sure we "fixed" the problem on desktop with that little tag to the left of the title, but that fix doesn't work on mobile. Yet people change the title anyway.
108 people can change titles, of which probably 95-100 are inconsiderate assholes.
EDIT: oh great, I'm in a Wikipedia edit war to keep one of my titles unchanged right now. I LOVE IT.

That's a pretty conservative estimate. I'm surprised you didn't go with 108 inconsiderate assholes.

-
ehm, uhm, i fear he's serious about his question
-
It's a valid question. And the answer's more complicated than you think.
.Net has a class (DataTable) that'll eval expressions like "9 * 7 + 37 / 2", and it's perfectly safe to use.

We just had a meeting discussing performance problems and other features on the horizon. The result of the meeting can be summed up in this conversation.
Aha! I've created and assigned you more jiras.
Aha! I convinced you to create the jiras instead of me.It's still more work for me but I feel I've gotten the better of this exchange.

No, it is defined.
First person stops, waits for all the other people to cross the intersection that stopped before he did, then he progresses across the intersection followed by 83 other fucking assholes who do not wait their turn because they want me to rage to the point of insanity.

A like for the creativity, but a +1 sympathy for being caught in this subroutine.
-
yeah, but he isn't talking about the safe version(eval this arithmetic expression).
from the question:Custom access rules to software elements (IIRC OpenERP has an object ir.rule which can use dynamic python code).
that kind of eval is nasty, and should be treated with caution. it's kind of like metaprogramming, for certain situations it's the best way, but in general you shouldn't be using it
-
If only I could. The only indication we get of whether they accepted our response is if they send us a retry of the original request later.
Luckily, I got it working. Turns out it is SOAP after all. Would it really have been that hard for them to just tell us that in the first place?

Status: Discoveries from not going to work:
- I hate going to work
- I make a lot of videos when I don't have to work
- It's a good opportunity to try out those shirts using up a hanger at the far end of the closet that I'm not sure I'd want to wear in an office setting. (The one I'm trying today is doing ok.)
- All my local friends work, so. Not working doesn't solve that particular problem.
- On a philosophical level, since I've worked full-time since about age of 16, I've never developed the skills to productively make use of my time when I'm not working. I noticed the same thing when I was unemployed. Spend an hour on resumes and interviews or what-not, then just waste-away the rest of the day. But this week is even "worse" because I don't even need to search for a job. Hm. I love not working, but I'm bad at it. It's probably no coincidence that the most successful people I know are all people who spend a lot of time dicking-around and not having a 9-5 job in their youth.

Worst case for you is that there is no more work for you.

Status: The search index is going much more efficiently (nearly no messages in the "slow query" log and they're really far apart when they do appear) now that I wrote this:
db.searchpost.dropIndexes(); db.searchtopic.dropIndexes(); db.searchpost.drop(); db.searchtopic.drop(); db.searchtopic.createIndex({id: 1}); db.searchpost.createIndex({id: 1}); db.objects.find({_key: /^topic:/, deleted: 0}, {_id: 0, tid: 1, title: 1, cid: 1, uid: 1, mainPid: 1}).forEach(function(topic) { db.searchtopic.update({id: topic.tid}, {$set: {id: topic.tid, content: topic.title, cid: topic.cid, uid: topic.uid}}, {upsert: true, w: 1}); function handlePost(pid) { var post = db.objects.findOne({_key: 'post:' + pid.value, deleted: 0}, {_id: 0, content: 1, uid: 1}); if (!post) { return; } db.searchpost.update({id: +pid.value}, {$set: {id: +pid.value, content: post.content, cid: topic.cid, uid: post.uid}}, {upsert: true, w: 1}); } handlePost({value: topic.mainPid}); db.objects.find({_key: 'tid:' + topic.tid + ':posts'}, {_id: 0, value: 1}).forEach(handlePost); }); db.searchtopic.createIndex({content: 'text', uid: 1, cid: 1}); db.searchpost.createIndex({content: 'text', uid: 1, cid: 1});
I bet it would be even faster if the data was already stored in separate locations. I wonder what you would call an arrangement of data like that. Tables, maybe? I hope someone invents a database that supports tables soon.

I'm really surprised by how soft the flavour is, I had just assumed all whiskey was a harsh liquor. I've always drunk cognacs and armagnacs before as my hard booze of choice.
-
Hm. I haven't tried it, but I'm suspicious of any whisky which doesn't have an age statement on the bottle. It's great the recipe was made in 1824, but... uh. Was it made last week?

Even if it was made last week I'm quite impressed by it. Very tasty to my palate.
Do you have any recommendation for what to try next when this one runs out?
