come on, this regex madness has to stop

the breakage of the day: MercadoLibre sell form

can't add/remove pictures from listings because of this vomit: t=/[\p{Lu}]/u,n=/[\p{Ll}]/u,r=/^[\p{Lu}](?![\p{Lu}])/gu,o=/([\p{Alpha}\p{N}_]|$)/u

SyntaxError: invalid identity escape in regular expression

no, the stupid regex COMPLETELY BROKE the entire sell procedure

I guess MercadoLibre finally figured out how to ban me :/

(it was working fine as of... what, 3 days ago?)

and of course their stupid bloaty cellphone crapp is also crippled by design, so I'm effectively locked out of selling my own junk there because I choose not to follow the Path Of Holy Chrome™ :/

why in the hell those guys don't have real competition here?! (I mean MercadoLibre: they have been going down the drain quality-wise, but they have no rivals)

no, selling my stuff over Meta® properties don't count (plus it's scam zone!)

oh, the error is on a several-megabyte vendor.js, have fun... NOT!

regex101.com oh the irony, also broken due to a fancy new regex

> SyntaxError: invalid regular expression flag s bundle.48aa5478185fb6462c01.js:1:85532

emberjs/ember.js #19968 I can't tell on which scale is my rage meter right now

but this issue report represents everything that it's wrong with modern webdev (and software development in general) in a nutshell

(and why we're seeing more and more websites breaking due to shiny new JS junk on anything that isn't Holy Chrome™: frameworks and its dependencies)

having something in place to fall back to or to handle error conditions really doesn't sound to me as something outlandish...

this really must be "it's how everyone else is doing it" along with copy-pasting and perhaps some ignorance in the middle

it has to stop, both the lack of error handling and the lack of readable code

njsg I am just waiting for the next log4j but in a big js framework. Will pop a beer and watch. Using a framwork is ok. Using a framwork producing gibberish no one understands and endorses bloat is not.

^I am buyng an e as in framework

in Mail, is there a way (natively) to only download a certain number of messages ?

therube don't think so. IanN_Away might know but I think it is all or nothing.

therube are you using pop or imap?

simply amazing what you USED to be able to do - via plain text email no less, AND could be confident that it was done. AND i actually sent my request before i funded the account. And the bank (boa) did it, no questions asked.

If you would make the following transfer(s) for me this date: Monday, July 17, 2007.

From: Checking ...3009 (Ckg)

To: Savings ...4816 (.sav)

$$: 999.99

Thanks.

(I shall have $$ xfered later to cover the transactions).

WG9s: pop. i simply closed mail after a few messages loaded. (can't imagine how many in total, but they go back to 2007)

banks and computers?

YOU DON'T SAY!

one of my banks have a deceptively simple mobile banking portal

...except when you log in

it stalls for a while while it downloads nearly 6MB of JavaScripts!

(which are completely unneeded as the page largely ignores them, and their banking portal still looks out of 2003)

Are in a hurry and need to check your balances? Nope, can't do, sit and wait while we deliver the JavaScripts

Oh, and their receipt printer was eating paper like mad when I went earlier today for a withdrawal

but then, printers are a separate tier of evil - hope Google and folks don't "disrupt" THOSE too

well of course they will. no need to print when you can save go Google Drive ;-)

JavaScript pandemics or paper jams and toner/ink leaks

therube if pop opop ind of doewnloads everything including anyting in your inbow you already d ownloading before. I t hwas log abo that i used to ony have a modem at home for internet and used thunderbird for mail but unless it has been removed there used to be a way to tell imap to only download the headers for new mailk and then download the actuall meessage the first time you try to...

...acess it. that could maybe work for you if it still exiists.

choices, choices..

does Session Restore apply to Mail also, or do you need to reopen wanted Mail tabs?

therube: when i did use pop i suded to have local foders called 2007-mail etc that i moved the mail to.

to make the inbox smaller.

therube session restore is browser only. I don't there is anything for mail available. Window sizes are kept in the xul store but that is it.

that's odd (to not have that feature)

therube yes but not that useful I think.

if you have a few messages you're dealing with, & you close browser/mail, on reopen, you've then got to find them, again. i'd think it to be an expected feature.
