@aliceif That is scary for numerous reasons. Also WTF do they mean by coder?

Apropos of nothing, I have decided that if I ever need to mark something in code as 'hands off', I will use the text of the sign outside of Hellwell in Lord of Light:
"Go away. This is not a place to be. If you do try to enter here, you will fail and also be cursed. If somehow you succeed, then do not complain that you entered unwarned, nor bother us with your deathbed prayers.

@lucas1 Probably something to do with cryptography.

I was going to make the same joke, until I realized they said
"I don't like Hitler"
No way Trump would say that.

@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:

Of course not, but his advisors must be trying like hell to get him to say it.
ETA: Or just to shut up for a while so they can think of a way out of this pit he keeps digging.
-
@dkf Unfortunately, that doesn't work with CSVs.
AFAIK though, there are no phone numbers that start with zero, so at least there's no data loss...

Somebody writes his speeches? I thought he was just blabbing whatever came into his mind.
-
@cartman82 Well he has someone to
stealwrite speeches for his wife, so I assume he has someone who vainly tries to get him to say things that aren't stupid.

If that is the case, he failed miserably.

Status: Trying to find where in our code base a particular constant is defined. I can find where it is used, but it's not defined in any .h or .c file anywhere (and 65685674 binary .so files match). ... Just realized I know where it's defined, but the string doesn't actually occur there because ## token pasting.

Well, that's because you were probably still on the November update, if not the original build.
LTSB hasn't even been updated since the original apparently. Woot!

status I need a reset button for today.
Before work
- overslept 1.5hrs.
- VM crashed, blue screen. (revert, try again)
- Another machine refuses to update, just stuck.
On the way to work, major accident, motorcyclist dead (ok, I'm have a better day then him)
After lunch, accident on 101 outside our building, fire trucks, ambulances, etc. It's a bad offramp - we keep a score card on hits and misses.

But don't they usually start with a + as well? Which would make Excel treat it as a text field.
-
@sloosecannon no, + is for international numbers
-
@Jaloopa Huh. TIL.
Welp sucks for you guys...
Also, this is why you don't use numeric fields for phone numbers.
-
@sloosecannon indeed. Unfortunately, excel always defaults to numeric if you enter something that looks like a number
-
@Jaloopa Yeah. Or if it's imported from a CSV or something that can't signal field types. I've run in to that before.

@sloosecannon said in The Official Status Thread:

You can deal with that by putting a ' in front or wrapping it in (IIRC)
=(01234)
. Of course then it's not a number any more, so you can have one or the other but not both.I had a back-and-forth with a client once who couldn't seem to grasp this. "When I look at it in Excel, the zeroes are gone". Yes, that's the way Excel works. I can put a
'
in front of it for you, but then the system you're importing it into will reject it. "Well, that's no good". Fine, stop looking at it in Excel. If you have to see the zeroes, open it in Notepad. Or open it in Excel and ignore the not-displayed zeroes. Or pay me a shitload of money to write a viewer so you can have it both ways.
-
@FrostCat Oh really? Good to know. I buttumed Excel would ignore the 's because... well... It's something Excel would do.
-
@FrostCat or import it and specify the column as text. That's a lot more work than just double clicking though

So in other words, LibreOffice takes no changes with text files and doesn't attempt to auto-interpret it?
Not sure if impressed or disappointed...

Status: I had a fun time trying to debug a Guild Wars 2 bug that turned out to be a Windows bug that turned out to be a Google Chrome bug.
If I have Google Hangouts running on my computer, the taskbar is always-on-top, regardless of whether I'm running a fullscreen video game.
And no, there was not a Google Chrome or Google Hangouts update. Just the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, where Microsoft "unintentionally" broke a competitor's product.

Not sure if impressed or disappointed...Instead of guessing (and failing), it guesses then present you the result where you can adjust to your liking.
You can properly handle any CSV format, not just "Excel-csv"

Right, and basically can't get users to import, anyway.

@ben_lubar oh yeah it is probably that, I literally took like 2 seconds to look at it and then saw the pic in the comments and LMFAO.

@TimeBandit said in The Official Status Thread:

Did you double-click the CSV in a file manager, or choose File | Open, or do some kind of import. Because you get that in Excel, too, if you chose to import it instead of the other ways.
