Hope you weren't intending anything involving installation of Microsoft products to be quick.
Well, Windows 10 installed from an SSD to an SSD is actually pretty damn quick nowadays.

Good luck with that.Our system freaked the fuck out when we tried to go from 2015U1 to 2015U3. That was a fun 6 hours of rollbackening...

Every css framework seems to need about 100 different moving components. This doesn't look too bad, except I am probably going to have to learn SASS :(

Truck passenger is unlocked
Any chance you can pin it on the Gimp?
...once you find him, that is. Why did you release him?
... And why did you keep him in the truck in the first place?

My truck is a dark grey. Since I have no idea what the Gimp is (and it seems obvious you're not talking about the image manipulation program), I posit this fact.

Oh, it's a person?
Well, then for security, obviously!

@anotherusername well, something in some library messed it up then I guess. I stand corrected on it happening implicitly, but I wash my hands from being at fault for it. It was either jQuery or mustache.js I guess, because fuck writing my own templating engine.

Status: Because retardedness, I have to do this in order to prevent deleting the last object in an in-memory collection of objects databound to a binding navigator and a DataGrid, because DataGrids can't handle their data sources yoinking out objects from underneath them for raisins.
Edit: nevermind, race condition found in another event handler that also tries to prevent removal of the last item. Ugh.

Status: Some people are doing a new thing, because our software is very, very legacy and the C-levels want some buzzwords.
My team has to generate the output for the data the new team is getting in.
The output has insanely precise but loosely-defined requirements, (we know that we can't afford to get it wrong, but we only have the old system and its lack of documentation to go on), so we're now trying to figure out how to send data from the new thing to the old one, since that's easier.
We have four different ways to do this, none of which are easy or a very good fit, so we'll have to adapt whatever we choose.
Management has finally decided that our task really is difficult, after we talked to a Microsoft rep about it and he agreed, so we get to choose somewhat now.
...fun?

The last deployment isn't working
Did you deploy everything?
Yes
Including all the stuff that was written the day before the deployment?
Yes
Let me ask
...Hey did you make sure everything in the deployment package?
Yes
Really?
Yes
Then we're really kinda fucked, because in theory everything was deployed to Staging, tested, and was now deployed to Production and it is failing in horrible ways that I know we tested for.
{shrug}
Hey, I hear Production isn't working. Did you try X?
Yes
Hmm...{insert 2 hours of , and struggling to reproduce this error on Staging, eliminating variables one at a time, and only meeting with some success}
I still think some of the data isn't set up right. Can you check Table ZZZ for the setup?
It's set to FOO
But as per the last round of changes, it should be BAR. That was the whole point of your last round of changes-- to make BAR work. It's good we've exposed that FOO fails in some circumstances, but we really need to set Staging to BAR-- just like we have in lab. open the table editor.
{click}
MOTHERFUCKING ERROR BITCHES! THAT TABLE AIN'T GOT NO SORTING KEY! EAT SHIT AND DIE.
Umm... didn't the updates to table ZZZ get deployed?
Yes
And when we deployed, doesn't it also deploy sorting keys?
The system does that.
Then how can it be saying the sorting key is missing? Check the table setup.
{click}
LOOK AT ME I AIN'T GOT NO SORTING KEYS FLYING FREE LIKE A FLOPPY COCK IN THE WIND!{not going on a head-desk rampage where I slam everyone else's head into a desk}
So the updates to this table didn't get deployed.
...... maybe?
How about we break here, you go over every object and piece of data that is supposed to be deployed-- and you deploy it. Then we'll check again.
ok......

Status: Guiding someone on how to select cells in Microsoft Excel. She's strangely averse to using the keyboard for this task.
Cue selecting 5000 cells by dragging the mouse around.

@Tsaukpaetra So she clicked the select thingy in the upper-left corner?

@sloosecannon said in The Official Status Thread:

Nope. Clicked B2, then clicked C4, then clicked B2 again and dragged down past the viewing area (so it started to scroll), accidentally let go of the mouse, scrolled all the way back (using the mouse wheel), then clicked B2, etc.
I repeatedly mentioned how to do the selection using the keyboard (or, heck, even the keyboard+mouse), but she wasn't hearing me or something.

@Onyx no, it doesn't.
The value got stored correctly. It's still a string. No information was thrown away. ... now, you want to use

in a way that requires it to be numeric... then yes, JS will turn it into a number, and will happily continue (although it won't modify the variablea
; that will still contain the string you originally gave it, unless you explicitly overwrite it).If that causes problems, it's your own fault for sloppy coding.
Excel, on the other hand... yeah, it really converts the value to a number, without any sort of reason other than it can, and it discards information in the process:
In JS, you use parseInt(a) + 1 or (0 - a) + 1 to get the correct result.
In Excel, you store the number as '01234 to tell Excel "I want to store it as string, don't meddle it".
