what?

Dog

@Bob: Do you have a car?

Journeyman Geek

Yeah, I did the needful and nuked the comments

I'm pondering deleting the question and putting it out of its misery.

Bob

@Dog Nup.

Well. Sorta. Not really.

Dog

Ah.

So yeah I guess you have to suffer the heat

Bob

@Dog The airconned trains are nice.

Except then they're not.

And the station. Wynyard station. Underground, which is nice. But no airflow, which is not nice. And brake heat, which is very not nice.

Dog

5:07 AM

They should make it illegal to operate non air conditioned vehicles in that weather.

Although 35°c is great for motorcycling in, in limited clothing. As long as you don't suffer electrolyte depletion

This map preserves the shapes of Tissot's indicatrices pretty well, as long as you draw them in before running the resize.

@Bob be careful with that; you'll summon JimmyHoffa!

even mention of function pointers is dangerous

@allquixotic here's a fun one for you :P superuser.com/questions/1165805/…

Speaking of email migration... Thunderbird is configured to use IMAP for the Outlook inbox. Things are not being migrated yet.

Bob

5:31 AM

*scurries back into the nice world of C-like languages*

bwDraco

Archives will be configured to go to a local folder.

Bob

LOL

@allquixotic Speaking of Jimmy, I found his question while trying to do the same thing :P

Rahul2001

Yay! Everything got sorted out!

> Visited India for 2 weeks. I picked up "ok, ok" (as in generalized neutral to happy agreement during conversations) and that Indian head bobble that means "Yes, it's all fine" when I visited. The "ok, ok" stuck with me and the head bobble automatically kicks in whenever I'm in Indian store or restaurant. I try to not. It's hopeless.
Oh, and the "Madam" instead of "ma'am" thing. That stuck with me for awhile. I have managed to avoid calling any Indians "uncle" or "auntie", so I have that going for me which is nice.

Bob

uh

ok?

Journeyman Geek

@Rahul2001 context?

Rahul2001

5:44 AM

@JourneymanGeek for the quote? reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/5n77d1/…

For the sorted out stuff? I had an argument of sorts with my mom on some stuff (mostly regarding my dad) which has now thankfully been sorted out...

Bob

ah

because that made about as much sense as my messages at 5 am do

Rahul2001

lol

Bob

Ok, so @JourneymanGeek I just invited the guy with the Excel question in here. Just so you know it's not a random HV :P

Bob

6:04 AM

> We reserve the right to make this API slower in the future.

lol

bwDraco

> The current implementation of the ToTitleCase method yields an output string that is the same length as the input string. However, this behavior is not guaranteed and could change in a future implementation.

Wut?

Bob

@bwDraco "We promise NOTHING!" :P

bwDraco

Under what circumstances would changing letter case cause the length of the string to change?

Journeyman Geek

@Bob lol. Am I that grumpy about HVs? ;p

Bob

@bwDraco Turkish

bwDraco

6:15 AM

I was wondering if there was some non-Roman script that could cause that due to Unicode oddities...

Bob

oh wait it doesn't change char count

still funny capitalisation though en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotted_and_dotless_I

=> ikriv.com/blog/?p=1163

@bwDraco I think it's more a "we make no guarantees about what weird language humans might think up"

allquixotic

Bob

6:29 AM

@allquixotic nice

allquixotic

OK, things are really starting to shape up with it now

I think I'm leaking memory at a fairly egregious rate, though :/

bwDraco

Email migration: What's your experience with this process?

I'm preparing to migrate from Yahoo Mail to Outlook.com due to concerns about the fate of Yahoo.

Bob

@allquixotic Welcome to C++! :P

@bwDraco <== halfway done. most sites still using my old address, and I'm still giving out my old address

then again I'm not under pressure to migrate quickly

bwDraco

I'd send out messages saying "this address is deprecated and will no longer be used in the future, please use <new address>"

Bob

which just about no one would understand

Psycogeek

6:34 AM

lol

although it does sound proper and intellectual

allquixotic

well all of his programmer friends would get it

bwDraco

I don't think Yahoo Mail is disappearing that soon, but I just want to play it safe. Might as well use my existing Microsoft account.

Bob

either a dry "I'm moving to a new email address because Yahoo might be shutting down. I'd appreciate it if you could update your address books/contact lists to <new address>"

Psycogeek

better to just tell them what you want directlly

Bob

or "Unfortunately, this email address is about to die a sad lonely death :(.

But wait! It's a fake! The real address is at <new address>.

(Please send future emails to <new address> instead.)"

allquixotic

6:35 AM

just set up an autoresponder, and don't use terms like "deprecated", just say you're moving to a new email address... oh, and unsub yourself from alllll the mailing lists (and re-sub to the ones you really want)

Bob

Don't use "deprecated"

Psycogeek

@Bob ahh now you got my attention

and it will need them to pay attention for a minute and change a few things

allquixotic

@Bob knocked 4 things off the kanban board to the "needs testing" today :D

Bob

@allquixotic I've barely looked at it, sorry :(

bwDraco

> Because of concerns regarding Yahoo's fate, the email address <address> is being phased out and should not be used. Please send all new mail to <new address>.

allquixotic

6:37 AM

it's ok

Bob

interest has dropped a bit, though that my might be cause I've gone back to a bit of late-night gaming :P

@bwDraco again with the "being phased out" and "should not be used"... it reads like you're describing an API closing

I mean, you can write it how you want.

But I'd suggest ... using simpler, more personal, language :\

but ya, at the end of the day, it's up to you and your own writing style :)

how many contacts actually have your old address?

Psycogeek

there is also begging. Please for the love of (insert favored diety) quit sending me mail here, only send to this new address.

Bob

I mean proper contacts, not websites/logins and mailing lists

bwDraco

> Because of concerns about Yahoo's fate, I am transitioning to a new email address. Please send all new mail to <new address>.

Bob

@Psycogeek yea, that works too

@bwDraco sounds good!

@allquixotic You were mostly doing the GUI, yea?

allquixotic

6:40 AM

OMG

bwDraco

> Please note that I'm transitioning to a new email address because of concerns about Yahoo's fate. Please send all new mail to <new address>.

allquixotic

I just had an epiphany

Bob

hm. debating doing a quick Inno installer rather than worrying about WiX

allquixotic

the email system should have the equivalent of HTTP 302

Bob

@allquixotic but that assumes the old address is reachable

bwDraco

6:41 AM

I will maintain all accounts for as long as possible and necessary.

allquixotic

@Bob true :/

Bob

@allquixotic also, that assumes bounce messages actually make their way back to the sender

unlike HTTP, SMTP does not require a direct connection to the final destination

allquixotic

@bwDraco why do you have so many?

I have 2 personal emails and 2 work ones

Rahul2001

@bwDraco Set up an automatic reply asking them to send mail to the new account

Bob

@allquixotic uh. many. *cough*

bwDraco

6:42 AM

Three Yahoo accounts for different purposes (one main), and one college email account (unaffected).

Journeyman Geek

I have one + work

whatever work is

bwDraco

I'll use Outlook aliases to consolidate those three.

allquixotic

I can't help but have 2 for work due to the nature of the work

Bob

One work email, one personal email domain, one "professional" personal email, one "personal" personal email, half a dozen "old" email addresses and a few testing/"dummy" ones...

I think I have like 20 addresses in total :P

Journeyman Geek

@allquixotic but that's not really your choice, or problem ;p

Bob

6:43 AM

oh, and one unsw alumni address

bwDraco

I don't even use the webmail interface unless I have to. I've been using Thunderbird since who-knows-when.

allquixotic

@Bob all I've been working on is the code itself -- I haven't even begun work on packaging, installer, cleaning up the env vars, putting things (DLLs) in the right places....

basically, I've been doing raw feature work

Bob

:34698636 Hm?

Journeyman Geek

@CRoshanLG

;p

Bob

@allquixotic I've been thinking about the installer. Not too sure if we should install directly into the TS3 dir, or install into a different dir and provide a program that does the plugin install :\

Journeyman Geek

6:46 AM

If you're gonna ping someone, you should tell em why

CRoshanLG

@Bob: I'm familiar with C#, so this -> https://ideone.com/hKmxrp makes sense.
But how can I convert it to VBA..?

Bob

@CRoshanLG Now, VBA, I don't have a clue! :D

allquixotic

@Bob oh, and I was going to look into the Qt Installer Framework

I don't know if it'll do what I need, but worth a look

Journeyman Geek

ahh. Excel guy?

Bob

that's why I asked if you needed to run inside Excel

if I were doing it myself, it'd basically be puzzling my way through with the help of Mr. Google

allquixotic

6:48 AM

@Bob I know VBA like the back of my hand, despite not wanting to.

flees

Bob

@allquixotic Heh, I think I'd sooner convert it to a C# Add-in than VBA directly :P

But @CRoshanLG was trying to do it in Excel formulae, which is an order of magnitude more painful than VBA for complex tasks.

CRoshanLG

Yep. My list is in Excel..!!!

allquixotic

string parsing of names in Excel worksheet functions? not touching that with a 5000 lightyear pole

nopenopenopenope

2

Bob

@CRoshanLG I mean, does it need to run inside Excel for other people? Otherwise, if this is a one-time conversion, you can just copy the list out, run it through ideone/whatever, and copy the result back in.

@CRoshanLG If you just select the column, ctrl+c, then ctrl+v somewhere else (in browser, notepad, whatever) you get a plain text list

and you can do the same in reverse

@allquixotic is it the one Qt itself uses?

cause it's... terrible

CRoshanLG

It IS a one time run. But would like know how to do it with formulae. Might be useful later.

Bob

6:51 AM

@CRoshanLG Well, our resident Excel expert is currently 5000 lightyears away fleeing from your idea, sooooo...

Personally, I tend either copy-paste a single column, or export to CSV if it's actually tabular data.

Journeyman Geek

ehh. I would CSV it, and use various *nixy tools like cut to remove what I don't need, and then import it back ;p

Bob

@JourneymanGeek The matching of salutations here really complicates positional tools like cut

Journeyman Geek

tho I'd be shocked it there wasn't a native C# excel ready lib

Bob

in theory I suppose you could sed it but the regex would be... ugly

@JourneymanGeek uh. what?

if you don't use COM, there's two separate libs for xls and xlsx, and the xls one is ... not great

honestly, csv is so much easier

Journeyman Geek

To generate #1 albums, 'jay --help' recommends the -z flag.

@Bob I prefer to do that kinda thing with CSV ;p

CRoshanLG

6:54 AM

@Bob :-P How do I run it in ideone..?

Bob

@allquixotic I thought you only needed an installer on Windows?

@CRoshanLG click edit up the top left, replace the salutations in the code with your own list, and copy the excel column into the input box under the code.

oh wait you might need to click fork instead of edit

yea fork is the one

CRoshanLG

yep Can't see an edit there!

Bob

and click stdin to show the input box

@CRoshanLG yea, use fork instead...

@allquixotic gitter

Rahul2001

Google just banned and blocked AdNauseum

Journeyman Geek

@Rahul2001 I wonder why? ;p

CRoshanLG

7:05 AM

@Bob. It's working.!!! But has a small glitch. M is taken as an initial from salutations (from Miss, Mr, etc)!

Shall I put the whole string building operation in an if condition?

djsmiley2k

7am starts not so bad

7 in a row isn't good

not sure why they do 7shifts on, 3 off

i guess I like 3 off, 7 on? not so much XD

@JourneymanGeek 'now I got s/99/100/g problems'

or infact just 's/99/100/'

:D

Journeyman Geek

lol

Bob

@CRoshanLG did you add salutations to the list?

or did I miss that o.O

@CRoshanLG what did yo uset salutationsString to?

oh you'd probably want to make your one private too..

or run it locally, not on ideone...

because I just realised public includes the inputs :\

CRoshanLG

7:25 AM

@Bob hmm, you have added the salutations. And public may not be he case here b'cos it is also converted in an "initial"

I'm looking as the code again, it seems fine..!!!

Bob

@CRoshanLG I mean yoru list of names used as stdin might be publicly visible on ideone

CRoshanLG

@Bob?? and it causes the salutations to be included as initials..?

Bob

... The salutations list in code excludes them from the conversion, but only if they are the first item

and I'm saying the list of names you paste in will be publicly visible on ideone unless you change visibility settings.

Why would a USB-PS2 adaption fail? one that all of it had worked for years. I move the computer(s), and plug it back in, and it now does not work.
they both work in the USB
there is no reason to assume a port damage
there are 2 adapters and 2 similar computer same problem
bios wasnt changed

allquixotic

8:13 AM

@Bob I don't think Linux users like "packaging" in general (I don't), unless it's apt-get, but you can't really apt-get something into an untarred copy of TS3 in some random dir

could probably write a shell script for Linux, a shell script for Mac, and do up an installer for Windows

Psycogeek

both input devices are known to be PS2 capable, one even comes with the adapter.
i was SURE it has been plugged there, and the adapters were on the end of the wire still , but the way it is acting now . . . . it was all a hellucination :-)

Hedgehog

A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae, in the Eulipotyphlan family Erinaceidae. There are seventeen species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and in New Zealand by introduction. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas (the extinct genus Amphechinus was once present in North America). Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (family Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and have changed little over the last 15 million years. Like many of the first...

Psycogeek

i thought that opossums were cute once too till i took one home.

Rahul2001

@Psycogeek Lol, what did it do?

Psycogeek

I couldnt wash the stink off the thing, and the fact that it kept chomping on my (gloved) fingers with viciousness didnt help

it is possible once it started eating better food, it might not leech off stench as much, but it was inside out with it, not something one could spruce up

a few days of calm training that would have worked on any other rodent (with much smaller teeth) were such a fail, i gave up and returned it back to the wild :-) if wild included peoples backyards

Rahul2001

It is very difficult to get a hedgehog in India, because the native species is protected, and the exotic ones are hard to find

I could tell so many trump jokes, but it would alienate the other 50% of people (in russia) who voted for him.

for the first time in a long time we have 2 leaders tossing about nuclear war threats again. nice to be back to the cold war , i kinda missed the looming threat of annilation in 20 minutes

if it works out some folks in the mid-east will start to get back on civilised tracks without secret illegal unconstituional wars , and constant bombing of them back to the stone ages. Which just leaves thousands of people still looking for revenge

eventually they grow old and tired of it all, , , and die , then forget how they were treated

seriously, if someone dropped a 10,000lb bomb on my moms house or 10,000 of them (for real) , I would be strapping on a bomb too, , , on the neighbors :-) go git em.

@Rahul2001 'hide' it ?

it's only there if you specify it, depending on mail client

Rahul2001

Or change it?

djsmiley2k

don't set it

Rahul2001

11:24 AM

I don't

It automatically specifies my server-account@server-domain.tld

are you setting a from address?

Rahul2001

Yes

But the reply-to isn't the same as the from

djsmiley2k

right ok

and if you do set it...?

$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k I get two of them in the header

the same thing being the reply-to address shows in the client?

Psycogeek

@Burgi they got direct deposit here for sure, i dont know how many people use it, but more and more money transfer things are being forced into paperless , or you get charged.

should i mention that the bank that processes these things, has goten sued like 2X yearly and has Lost suits regularly. suits that are about privacy and people loosing money. Sooo i dont really get the excitement to keep it all in the criminal enterprise. If you got sued yearly, uuuHH you would probably think there was a problem.

for them business as usual

Check out all the criminalty and cross bank robbery in "paper" that was only revealed when the mortgage thing hit, global banking fraud deception bad paper, lies and . . . did i mention that a Bank where it looks like your money is being stored should be a trusted business.

When i say paper, in these cases it was generating and cross manipulating "paper" in the computer which made duplicating and altering it much easier.

djsmiley2k

@Rahul2001 looks like you aren't adding this

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k It gets added automatically

djsmiley2k

yeah, by your mail handlers

Rahul2001

11:45 AM

no

it's added after you sent the email, most likely

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k I'm creating an email script for this year's Hacking Challenge, and I need to make sure that the email is not traceable

@djsmiley2k There are always loopholes.

Psycogeek

I know one person whom has some proof, that one of the involved banks created false new paper on the computer , after they took thier all Paid up loan on property. Weird thing is to find the proof , she had to ask for data from the bank. What i saw, of her legally asking for the data, was pure and simple Phishing. like 80% of the bank employees got phished , laughably. She wasnt even criminal or trying to hack.

djsmiley2k

but what could she do with the data she got?

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k Problem101: There's a Return-Path: header, which is identical to the Reply-to header, but I cannot get rid of it :(

djsmiley2k

so maybe you can't use mail() ?

Burgi

@Psycogeek time to change banks? ;)

Psycogeek

11:52 AM

she kinda prooved her point, that something really wrong had occured, but they didnt have the money to lawyer up enough.

If you lose a whole real property, where would you even get the kind of money to lawyer up and fight it?
And Many many banks and the largest banks here are being penalised and huge fined and still in court over this stuff for more years.

you know the old scam where you take 1 penny from everyones accounts, nobody notices, and you get rich.
The largest bank here, the employees had opened up thousands of accounts , that people didnt specifically ask for. that was ~$15 bucks a month Paperlessly automatically dissapearing , the fee on the accounts

Q: How can I display host name on windows desktop

I do a lot of work on Windows Server 2008 remote desktops and often lose track of which host I am currently logged on to. Is there a way of displaying (without installing any non-standard apps) the host name or IP address of the host I am connected to in either the wallpaper or the notification ...

flagged as a dupe ;)
