If there's a hell, it probably involves spending all day resolving difficult merge conflicts with crappy tools.

rene

Ah, you found clearcase!

@jadarnel27 before you joined, we were actually just talking about you:

yesterday, by Shadow Wizard

Hmm.... I wonder if brown is totally in the past now, just a shadow of a forgotten meme?

yesterday, by hichris123

@ShadowWizard Well, jadarnel hasn't been around....

jadarnel27

Hmmm...I did feel a sudden sense of urgency well up from deep within me.

I just figured I had to go to the bathroom.

Then I opened the chat room tab by mistake on my phone.

hichris123

Coincidence? I think not.

jadarnel27

Seriously though, that is awesome timing.

hichris123

I'm a little late, but @hichris123, you lost brown points because brown is awesome. And Manish determined that you were being less than awesome.

jadarnel27

What isn't the brown thing, bj?

hichris123

Trip down memory lane. ;P

Shadow Wizard

We need to teach @SmokeDetector some brown

Why do self-accepts even show up on a user's reputation page? They don't affect reputation... stackoverflow.com/users/2446155/santa-claus?tab=reputation

Shadow Wizard

@SantaClaus good point, as we don't see votes on CW posts. Guess it's something historical that was never given much thought.

hichris123

10:27 PM

Did you share SD or something? The site's really slow for me.

Unihedron

I think our data centers' being ddosed since august.

Frank

@lostsock Yep. there's probably a bear in there.

hichris123

@Unihedron Then fix it.

Unihedron

Can't. The sysadmin has to.

Frank

hichris123

10:29 PM

@Unihedron ... who is the sysadmin?

Direct them to The Comms Room for some chat & flogging.

Braiam

@hichris123 not Uni

Unihedron

Ha!

@hichris123 whoever does the webhosting for us, who I don't have to deal with but the management instead. I'm not sure what's wrong but they've been having uptime issues. No idea why.

Braiam

drops a link, so it ruins someone life bloodrizer.ru/games/kittens

hichris123

@Unihedron I feel like screaming at them. It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow.

@Unihedron Do you have access to the code?

Unihedron

I might.

hichris123

10:35 PM

I'd... love to change some stuff. tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/ed74dO/http://embercraft.us/profile/…

Pretty please with sugar on top @Unihedron? :p

Unihedron

... 50 seconds and still loading? Good grief!!

hichris123

@Unihedron 50 seconds and what's still loading?

lostsock

@hichris123 @Unihedron is purposely breaking it, obv

hichris123

Unihedron

@hichris123 ping system. the load time is drastic.

SPAM! keldvagner.dk/cache.php?line=tihZ1PVSc4kY77cGpkwm5Q seems legit…

hichris123

?

bjb568

Changing UA to IE makes it download a .exe that can't possibly be malware…

Unihedron

@bjb568 Use linux

bjb568

@Unihedron Mac OSX is close enough…

bjb568

Huh… moved domain 1 to domain 2 and domain 2 to domain 1. Because I had an ssh thing open while the credentials got invalidated, apparently my terminal tried logging in so many times that I got my IP blocked for 2 hours from my hosting provider…

hichris123

Oh… I can request an unblock. Unblocked now!

@hichris123 @uni uses valve time

Unihedron

Time is relative, a second may be a year somewhere else.

hichris123

hichris123

@Unihedron ... well, yeah, but what does that mean?

KitFox

Evening. Anybody feel like figuring out a regex pattern with me?

Unihedron

11:26 PM

@hichris123 I'm trying.

@KitFox ask; don't ask to ask

KitFox

Are you joking? One never just drops into a regex conversation.

You have to ease into it without looking at it directly.

Otherwise, it might explode.

Unihedron

No it won't.

Gimme the problem.

KitFox

Pattern matching <a href= but that does not end in "specific website url".

.*<a html=[^"website url"].*

Unihedron

Which regex engine?

KitFox

mongodb.

I'm not sure what they use.

The nots always always trip me up.

Unihedron

11:30 PM

PCRE!

KitFox

I told you it would explode.

hichris123

@Unihedron Well, that's good. :)

@KitFox HTML... and regex? ;P

KitFox

No, no, no. Kind of.

Braiam

must resist bobince!

hichris123

lol

KitFox

11:32 PM

They've embedded html in a datafield.

I'm trying to find some specific things they screwed up.

Good news is that I've gotten half of them!

I think.

hichris123

@KitFox ... why are you doing this?

KitFox

They screwed up should give you a good hint.

Unihedron

This? regex101.com/r/tU6oS0/1

hichris123

yup. And I feel sorry that you have to fix everything @Kit. ;)

Unihedron

Your problem is really vague.

Braiam

11:33 PM

Sorry son, I have to fix a problem someone caused, so I used regex, and now I have two problems

Unihedron

^^^^^

Braiam

I really hope you are messing with a copy of the database @KitFox

Unihedron

> stackoverflow.com/a/24681155/3622940

KitFox

@Braiam Hahaha.

@Unihedron Is it? How can I make it clearer?

Undo

@Braiam only developers wearing white coats in perfect worlds do that. Not real developers.

Unihedron

11:35 PM

@KitFox give test cases :D

Braiam

what should match and what shouldn't, would help

KitFox

blah blah blah <a href="http://www.site.com/"> blah blah
blah blah blah <a href="http://www.someothersite.com/"> blah blah
First line matches, second line doesn't.

Unihedron

Oh, the engine is anchored?

KitFox

I'm still figuring out what Uni put up.

@Braiam It's production, but read-only.

I'm identifying the records so that someone else can update them.

@Unihedron I don't know what that means.

Unihedron

@KitFox Don't worry about it, found by googling.

KitFox

11:39 PM

OK.

I've not used lookahead in regex before.

Oh ffs. Helps if I don't typo it.

That's got it. Thanks.

Unihedron

try this: regex101.com/r/fA0wE4/1 @KitFox

KitFox

Unless I'm way off the mark, my other two sweeps covered them anyway.

Unihedron

Oh.

KitFox

I'll check this one though.

> Invalid regular expression

Oop.

The lookahead worked once I fixed my typo. At least, I think it did.

What do the asterisked bits do? I haven't seen that notation before.

I mean, I can read the notes, but I don't understand what it means.

Unihedron

(*SKIP)(*F) means if we mach here, skip to the next match instead of trying to succeed. (*F) means Fail, immediately.

KitFox

11:47 PM

Oh my everloving...I remembered the slashes, but I didn't escape the dots in my other attempt. I'm such a herpderp.

Thanks for helping me out.

Unihedron
