@lime gazelle what do you program
dense stratus
How about a short story
I met a man in Food Lion that was there when i went to go pick up some milk.
lime gazelle
@rough sapphire right now I'm programming a script that syncs production servers with their DR counterparts for the Stock Exchange
what's Food Lion?
dense stratus
His job that day, and for the next few days was to fill a single shopping cart with the small packages of TP that they had gotten in and walk around the store offering to anyone looking to buy tp that day.
FoodLion is a grocery store chain in the US
ebon pebbleBOT

lime gazelle
Ooh! Is that inspired from a true story?
dense stratus
He told me he had been working there 23 years, and through all that time he never saw anything like this. All he could do was walk the aisles and shake his head.
I am giving you a true story, perhaps you can become inspired by it
ebon pebbleBOT

dense stratus
I just imagine, that in 23 years, he might have started out as just a kid stocking the shelves, and buffing the floors or bagging the groceries.
ebon pebbleBOT
⠀
⠀
dense stratus
Worked his way up to some type of management, probably an important fellow, hiring people and setting schedules and stuff. And he was so, I don't know the words... he just kept walking along up one aisle and down the next, shaking his head and offering people TP. I thought of the old time cigarette girls in the b and w movies
Good luck with that @lime gazelle I hope you get a good one

Oops, found it:
Roses are red, violets are blue, I found a perfect job opportunity for you: Senior Software Engineer.
My reply was
Hello xxxxxxx:
Since we are sharing poetry, then perhaps I can respond with a haiku.
There is interest,
Considering only those,
Positions remote.
I am currently in a relatively good position. However, I am open to something that would allow me to permanently work from home rather than commuting anywhere. Please don't send me anything that would require relocation or commuting.
Thanks,

it's one thing if it is there and plumbed and you can just use it. But you can walk though lowes and they have a bunch of toilets and such, but not a bidet to be found.
I guess if I were ever to actually build my own house I could fill a bathroom with porcelain. Toilet, bidet, one if those really low sink things we used to have in the clinic, a regular sink, the shaving sink, the spitting sink like the dentist uses...

what about the piss cupboard
dense stratus
damn, forgot about the urinal, both a floor mounted one and the wall mounted one. Oh, and the asian straddle hole floor thing that I can't imagine how to use comfortably
The one cool thing we had in the military barracks was the shaving sinks. Not only did water come out the faucet, but it also came out around the rim of the sink so when you shaved it didn't leave whiskers stuck to the sink.
rough sapphire
we didn't have special "shaving sinks" like that but the toilet on the second floor of the building where we ate our dinner had fancy sinks like that
so we often did our hair and beards there

@lime gazelle you've probably not done it right, 4/4 at 65 bpm is really slow
lime gazelle
Idk I did 4 beats and 4 clicks per beats
ebon pebbleBOT
⠀

wanton glacier
4/4 means 4 crotchets (quarter notes) per bar
the 4 on top is the number of beats
the 4 on the bottom is the type of beat
ebon pebbleBOT

wanton glacier
so 7/8 should be 7 quavers (eighth notes) per bar

just count to 7, and start over. keep doing that on the beats. you'll see how the song is split into chunks that are 7 counts long.

You should look at the explanation on https://regex101.com

there are 2 capture groups here
gentle moss
yeah
low shadow
i only understood the first ^ and last $ in this regex egrep "^[^.\n]((.[^.\n]){2}$)"
need to try regex101.com
gentle moss
tbh it's where i write most my regex
rough sapphire
@gentle moss you actually use a website to write regexes?
my solution is to hack at the problem until either the problem or my willpower resolves...
gentle moss
there's one somewhat built into pycharm but i find regex101 more comforting
rough sapphire
but there hasn't lately been a single regex that hasn't yielded yet.
gentle moss
greedy regex is something that's got a wide match
i want to capture 4 digits
\d{4}
would do that
\d+ would match digits until the cows come home
low shadow
and i remember a person who commented on tshirtman profile
and got muted
and [.\n] means either \n or or . character right
?
rough sapphire
the dot is messy
it depends on how special characters are treated
the dot might be the character dot or it might mean "any character"
low shadow
hmm
rough sapphire
@wooden silo can you escape it inside a character class?
wooden silo
@rough sapphire You don't need to.
rough sapphire
but if you want the "any character"
gentle moss
oh and . catches all character
wooden silo
"any character" makes no sense in a character class
rough sapphire
. catches a single character, which can be anything
I've had to escape the dot
.* catches any number of them
to get the meaning I want
solid pollen
What if you put golf balls in there instead of loading dots?
wooden silo
@rough sapphire Not inside a character class: ```py
import re
print(re.match(".", "foo"))
<_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(0, 1), match='f'>
print(re.match("[.]", "foo"))
None
@wooden silo you're right.
I just remembered that there was some weird situation with some specific command line tool where the regex meta-characters had to all be escaped
you had escape stuff like \( but then there were some weird cases where I think they had reversed the meaning of \. and .
gentle moss
what's the worst regex you've written?
you ever tried to modify one of those email regexes to cope with new gTLD's?
rough sapphire
I don't think you want to use a regex for that...
gentle moss
if there is one job for regex it's email validation
rough sapphire
really
gentle moss
because someone did it once and it was pretty much working
rough sapphire
okay I guess
but then it might as well be built out of modular pieces
so that it's basically a small program that just gets compiled
gentle moss
same for phone numbers and shit
regex is pretty good for that
and people have already written it for you
they lost all their hair so you don't have to
rough sapphire
quite
then in that world you shouldn't have to be modify the regex
just reparametrize it
"want to add a new country code?" "-add it to this list, right here sir"
rough sapphire
it is my honor to introduce you guys to the fully RFC822 compliant regex for validating email addresses
whoops, it's longer than the character limit
yes, i have seen this used in production

lol, i love the argument for rust, go and julia using a graph from stack overflow questions
where the Y axis doesnt even reach 1%
glass gorge
The the comments basically just bash the post
Poorly written, no solid arguments, simply incorrect statements
etc
rough sapphire
Is that a MI device ?

ooh china likes you seems

Couldn't care less, It was cheap and suits my needs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

what's wrong with pycharm if i keep it inactive for say 30 minute, it just get stucked on arch
dense stratus
perhaps it is phoning home to report statistics and other information to the overlords at Brainbench
is it the Pro or "Free" edition?
rough sapphire
you mean community edition ?
rough sapphire
yeap the community edition
"it uses whitespace as syntax"... siince when did that kill python?
@glass gorge i'm really not sure how this is even a negative, it's a deliberate design decision. You can make this statement sound negative in reverse as well, "C uses curly braces as syntax and does not care about whitespace, making logical program flow and what you see on screen inconsistent"
both are stupid arguments
dense stratus
do they pitch you periodically for an upgrade or to offer you some many months of the pro edition?
rough sapphire
why tf microsoft trying to hide the mail when its coming to my mail ?
sand goblet
because idiots take screenshots of their email
dense stratus
did you request a reset?
glass gorge
It's a click baity article, thats poorly written with incorrect subjective statements. Which sadly probably made him a lot of money :/
rough sapphire
yeap i did
dense stratus
probably have funny source signature on that email, did it drop to your spam folder or just to Focused vs other
dense stratus
is that what you are considering "hidden"? I still don't quite get the logic of the Focused vs Other.. But I recently just started using gmail to access my hotmail instead. I miss the days of plain old email
rough sapphire
hide it at first
and then show it at next line ?
dense stratus
and you are using outlook app or the web page?
rough sapphire
web page
gentle moss
it'd a common practice to show that they do have your email address
and to prevent you being a fucking idiot with it
causes less damage if sent to the wrong person (somehow) anyway
rough sapphire
oh this huge company can't make a system that can send mail to right adress ?
dense stratus
if you are reading it, then it went to the right address
sand goblet
the concern hardly has anything to do with their email services
not everyone uses outlook email
dense stratus
It didn't, however, come from a regular contact so it is not in the Focused area
sand goblet
and email is not a secure protocol
rough sapphire
What is focused area ?
dense stratus
I would have to open hotmail to see what the stupid terminology is they use
rough sapphire
who uses hotmail actually
dense stratus
I do. I have used it before M$ bought it
Focused and Other are the two designations they use
rough sapphire
you also have a @googlemail
dense stratus
I just read it from gmail,
dense stratus
me? I think I have maybe 7 gmail accounts, used to have about the same amount of HoTMaiL accounts as well
no, just ....@gmail.com
sand goblet
yeah, googlemail is aliased to gmail
dense stratus
Interesting thing about gmail is that the dots don't matter
rough sapphire
yeah.
dense stratus
So if you are Jo.Blow@gmail you can use JoBlow or J.o.b.l.o or any other combination with dots before the @
So there is this idiot that has the same first and last name as me
rough sapphire
COOL. will try it someday
dense stratus
And he thinks his emails is the same as me.. And gives out stuff that comes to me all the damn time. I have gotten stuff for his payroll stuff, his MicrosoftXBoxLive account and even every time he sets up a car maintenance appointment
dense stratus
which account?
rough sapphire
every
sand goblet
whatever account they set up
dense stratus
heheh
well, I don't really use my gmail address except maybe for id verification. But the one thing I got had his address and phone number and everything
I called and talked to his wife
rough sapphire
haha
dense stratus
I said "Is your husband's name such and such"
"Is he still subscribed to hot anal sluts dot com"
well, not that 🙂
dense stratus
I told her, I am getting lots of emails that are not intended for me, especially the one for xbox online and his payroll.. Maybe he needs to figure out what his actual email is and us it correctly
I was even on some huge group email thing that was planning (I assume) his daughter's wedding and setting dates and making arrangements... I really, could have been a bad person and screwed lots of stuff up
My guess is that I have something like JohnSmith@gmail and he may have John_Smith@gmail and he keeps putting John.Smith@gmail or his handwriting is so craptacular that whenever he gives it out, people read it as . instead of why can't I type an underscore
rough sapphire
haha

gosh this song haahaahaha
Was searching for other song , found this
dense stratus
But I have a friend that uses the dot to seed his emails when he has to give them out so that he can tell who is selling his email to whom
dusky orchid
But I have a friend that uses the dot to seed his emails when he has to give them out so that he can tell who is selling his email to whom
for like marketing stuff?
dense stratus
Not sure if this song makes sense outisde of US
Sure, if he gets an email to JoBlo.w@gmail he knows that he signed up on HotDonkey.Com website with it and they sold his email to someone else to send him spam with
dusky orchid
haha this is what i use plus tags for
dense stratus
what is a plus tag?
rough sapphire
dusky orchid
nope
sand goblet
that is its purpose, but that's not how email servers implement it
dense stratus
wait, so the + and stuff after it is ignored, or the stuff before it?
dusky orchid
gmail specifically use it for filter tags
gmail does not forward a copy to facebook@gmail
dense stratus
So if you sign up for the newsletter on NakedPoodle.com and your real email is bob@gmail.com what would you use as an example?
dusky orchid
can we stop using unnecessary crass examples
sand goblet
yep that is specifically what gmail uses it for
dense stratus
NakedPoodle is the reference to dogbert's Long Range Planning episode. It still doesn't exist
But, blah.com anyway
dusky orchid
depends what you want to do with it
dense stratus
how would it work for bob@gmail.com on blah.com
sand goblet
bob+whateveryoulike@gmail.com
dusky orchid
if it's something you want to track per-service, then you'd do bob+blah@gmail.com
rough sapphire
@dusky orchid eval not working ?
dusky orchid
if you think they're gonna leak it anyway regardless and you just want to keep anything it sends to in spam, you can setup a skip inbox filter on +spam
dense stratus
okay, so when they have that email and send you something it still comes to bob@gmail, but if you look at the TO: address you will see the + tag?
dusky orchid
and do bob+spam@gmail.com
and yep you'll see To: bob+spam@gmail.com
so you can filter by that
dense stratus
Okay, so to seed it you can put something that indicates their site
dusky orchid
for something like fb, i use facebook in the tag, yep
dense stratus
bob+blah@gmail
dusky orchid
yeppers
rough sapphire
oh wait it is , i just did this which blocked the command
dense stratus
do you have to set them up ahead of time?
dense stratus
awesome
does it work with your own domain? Google hosts our domain at work so our email is gmail but it comes to company.com
dusky orchid
if they use google email hosting through google apps, yep
dense stratus
I might have to try it
There was a service, SpamGourmet that you could setup an account. When you would make up an email like if you were bob@spamgourmet.com you would do blah10bob@spamgourmet.com and they would forward you 10 (or however many you put in the number) emails then after that, silent just eat the rest.
dusky orchid
that's pretty neat
dense stratus
they are probably still around.
but you could just make them up on the fly, and so you could get a password or whatever from a signup and then nothing else ... ever... 🙂
You see that dilbert up there? I remember when that came out. There was not much in the way of Internet or WWW at least to mere mortals
low shadow
can anyone help me one last time
suppose i have file called x.y
which has
a.b.c.ru
a.b.d.com
a.b.c.d.e.f.com
a.s.hf.d.com.ru
i need to extract only 3 word domains/subdomains
dense stratus
what have you tried?
low shadow
awk and sed i will
dense stratus
here's a tip, have you considered reversing the string first then reversing the result?
dense stratus
right, so if you reverse the whole string, you have a simpler pattern. Just a thought. Are you using regex patterns or just mechanically walking the string?
dense stratus
and join it back up with '.'
low shadow
using awk or sed or grep
dense stratus
so you want a regex
low shadow
yes
previously i asked this
a.b.com
a.b.c.com
a.b.c.d.e.com
e.f.com
and got this regex
rough sapphire
rev file | cut -d. -f -3 | rev
low shadow
wait
low shadow
@rough sapphire again u helped me
rough sapphire
👍
dense stratus
Dos Equis to the rescue!!
low shadow
@rough sapphire u are a genius
dense stratus
there are a few
you could use $reverse too and I think with the right amount of # and ? you can do them in one line
low shadow
impressive
work absinthe
i m new to linux , probably a year or two
i have been using
still there's a lot to be uncovered
i found today there is a command called timeout
and rev
dense stratus
it sets up values in front of your arguments
dense stratus
set -- 1 2 3
echo $1,$2,$3
oh
dense stratus
try that see if it works
dense stratus
short way how? less commands or less computer time?
dense stratus
I think yo cna use sort -u and eliminate the call to uniq
low shadow
ok
low shadow
😎
dense stratus
maybe can get rid of the cat by using < but I would have to try
low shadow
OK
dense stratus
problem with your sequence is that if it doesn't work for some reason, you are going to remove your original files and then you are screwdlidoodledoodooed
Do you know about man
low shadow
yes
dense stratus
okay, so I think if you man sort you can see if you have the -u
low shadow
and
cat file1 file2 | sort -u > file3 && rm file1 file2 || mv file3 file
will prevent from deleting mistakely
as if previous command fails rm wont start
😎
dense stratus
well that's shorter by a line
low shadow
now its ok
dense stratus
I am thinking
some commands can work in place. Just not sure if sort is one of them
low shadow
ok
low shadow
ok
dense stratus
nope, that won't work
but you can cat f2 >> f1
not sure that helps
you can rm f2 then cp f3 f1
not that helpful
try this
sort -u f1 f2 > ....
that should eliminate the cat
low shadow
good
dense stratus
sort -u file1 file2 > file3 && rm file1 file2 || mv file3 file
low shadow
bye will come in 10 min
dense stratus
and you can eliminate file3 and just do it all to file
sort -u file1 file2 > file && rm file1 file2
dense stratus
if you know there are specific files then you can use file? or file*
low shadow
if you know there are specific files then you can use file? or file*
@dense stratus what??
dense stratus
sort -u file*
rough sapphire
or just cat * > newfile
rough sapphire
tee is slow
when you're printing a lot of things
it blocks on printing to the terminal, which is sloooow

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
mmmmmm
i loved set --
probably best thing learned today
dense stratus
it just writes to a file and the screen at the same time
low shadow
i know
low shadow
😃
dense stratus
sorry, in a meeting now
dense stratus
okay, back. @low shadow you good now?
dense stratus
sweet. Are you working a track or a course or something?
low shadow
i m doing bug bounty
dense stratus
hmm, never heard of that one
rough sapphire
@low shadow That's a long URL for a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yKU0cSHu5A
dense stratus
well, hungry now, time for breakfast. I will have to check that out when I have sound again,
low shadow
its night here
rough sapphire
this bug bounty thing doesn't sound very lucrative
low shadow
whats lucrative
rough sapphire
profitable
rough sapphire
can
low shadow
and $0 if P5
rough sapphire
You can get over a million if you win the lottery ¯_(ツ)_/¯
rough sapphire
Sure, if it's fun for you it's definitely good to practise

TNG had some good episodes, and some downright abhorrent ones

Also, on the topic of shows, Hunters on Amazon is just... not that great.
