Is that an evolution of the Razr or whatever it was called? Man I wanted one of those things back in the day. So slim!

new pow skis? what did you get?
Since January here. Pretty sure I could pass for homeless.I haven't had a haircut since mid-February.I should probably do something about that.
Did you explain Boolean operators to him? If not, you should have done that.
Mid-January for me. Things are currently... unruly.I haven't had a haircut since mid-February.
Hate to tell you... but *this* is also SM.I have social media, but I don't need it, because you guys are the only online friends I need.
Dammit, I forgot the cardinal rule "One shall always explain Boolean operators to Florida Man" again, didn't I?Did you explain Boolean operators to him? If not, you should have done that.
So... make sure when you're in discussions with the UX developers, tell them that they need to enable fucking REGULAR EXPRESSIONS in *every* fucking search field.
EVERY GODDAM ONE.
We have an "enterprise" software product that doesn't do this and it makes me want to murder puppies every time I try to find a specific file name in a list of 8000 files...

- RegEx can go fuck itself.
- I don't think our search function needs to support anything that sophisticated, but maybe something more than just OR'ing all the words entered. Ours is built on top of/using AWS Elasticsearch so it should be pretty good?
Regular expressions are geek masturbation. They're actually slower, besides being unintelligible.So... make sure when you're in discussions with the UX developers, tell them that they need to enable fucking REGULAR EXPRESSIONS in *every* fucking search field.

Haircuts. HAH. started Buzzing my head 25 years ago and then 12 years ago I said eff it and just started shaving the ol dome. Probably saved a couple of thousand dollars over the years that I spent on Bikes, fishing gear and kayaks

probably but I do keep location turned off and I deleted most of their BS with hacksGoogle is definitely tracking you then.
headed in to work this morning to try and get some things done and put a positive end to a pretty rough week. walked in to an email from the HR uberwensch mandating that everybody attend the voluntary happy hours because those are also our town hall meetings... who the fuck has town halls at 4pm unless you're laying people off? Fuck off with that noise, unless you want to pay my nanny extra to stay on. FFS I'm pissed already because I can't attend these things, and now you're trying to make me feel worse?
GodDAMMIT! You can't just come in here and make a bullshit statement like that with no qualification.
Slower than WHAT? It sure as FUCK isn't slower than me having to sift through thousands of filenames to get the 65 that I want to select.
I take it you don't build user-facing software for a living?
No - I'm a goddam USER of the software trying to find some goddam filenames.
REGEX as a user interface is very hardcore. That's far outside the abilities of the general audience.No - I'm a goddam USER of the software trying to find some goddam filenames.
What's your industry? Who is the audience of this software you're using?
"String operations will always be faster than regular expression operations. Unless, of course, you write the string operations in an inefficient way.GodDAMMIT! You can't just come in here and make a bullshit statement like that with no qualification.
Slower than WHAT? It sure as FUCK isn't slower than me having to sift through thousands of filenames to get the 65 that I want to select.
Regular expressions have to be parsed, and code generated to perform the operation using string operations. At best, the regular expression operation can do what's optimal to do the string manipulations.
Regular expressions are not used because they can do anything faster than plain string operations, it's used because it can do very complicated operations with little code, with reasonably small overhead."
IT industry. IT administrators. You know... "tech" people. This is backup software, specifically. Really whiz-bang user interface that has MAJOR limitations in the actual operation of the crap.
Well... I'd be fucking reasonably satisfied if "string operations" worked in this UI. But those don't work either.
Gotcha. Think this is a great opportunity to give feedback to the folks that make the software.... maybe lay out what you're trying to do (as well as stating your expectations) and ask them how to do that w/ the software.IT industry.

Take a deep breath and write some code.Well... I'd be fucking reasonably satisfied if "string operations" worked in this UI. But those don't work either.
Its like a lot of the bike industry. A lot of the stuff looks nice but in practice and when put to use is utter garbage.IT industry. IT administrators. You know... "tech" people.

Heh. I did exactly this. They told me they were very sorry, but it didn't do that. And to submit a RFE.
And trying to integrate various purchased applications can be a fucking nightmare. SS, however, is just trying to find and delete all of his elk buggery videos.Its like a lot of the bike industry. A lot of the stuff looks nice but in practice and when put to use is utter garbage.
FTS. I'm a terrible coder.
Also - how do you propose I code something for someone else's UI/software? Seems like that is unlikely to bear any fruit.
You're correct. In this case, it won't.
And this is what you get when the "Enterprise Architect" decides to "go in a different direction." i.e. show management that the company will save TONS of $$$ with a new product... that doesn't work.Its like a lot of the bike industry. A lot of the stuff looks nice but in practice and when put to use is utter garbage.
Are we supposed to take this to itmonkey? Asking for some friends.
