00:22:23 come on, this regex madness has to stop 00:22:35 the breakage of the day: MercadoLibre sell form 00:22:54 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 00:22:59 SyntaxError: invalid identity escape in regular expression 00:24:09 no, the stupid regex COMPLETELY BROKE the entire sell procedure 00:24:18 I guess MercadoLibre finally figured out how to ban me :/ 00:24:45 (it was working fine as of... what, 3 days ago?) 00:29:13 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™ :/ 00:42:16 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) 00:42:40 no, selling my stuff over Meta® properties don't count (plus it's scam zone!) 00:47:25 oh, the error is on a several-megabyte vendor.js, have fun... NOT! 00:53:02 https://regex101.com/ oh the irony, also broken due to a fancy new regex 00:53:20 > SyntaxError: invalid regular expression flag s bundle.48aa5478185fb6462c01.js:1:85532 02:56:58 https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/issues/19968 I can't tell on which scale is my rage meter right now 02:57:34 but this issue report represents everything that it's wrong with modern webdev (and software development in general) in a nutshell 02:58:13 (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) 14:08:30 having something in place to fall back to or to handle error conditions really doesn't sound to me as something outlandish... 14:09:50 this really must be "it's how everyone else is doing it" along with copy-pasting and perhaps some ignorance in the middle 14:10:32 it has to stop, both the lack of error handling and the lack of readable code 14:18:30 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. 14:19:03 ^I am buyng an e as in framework 17:01:33 in Mail, is there a way (natively) to only download a certain number of messages ? 17:13:34 therube don't think so. IanN_Away might know but I think it is all or nothing. 17:42:15 therube are you using pop or imap? 17:43:08 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. 17:43:10 If you would make the following transfer(s) for me this date: Monday, July 17, 2007. 17:43:12 From: Checking ...3009 (Ckg) 17:43:14 To: Savings ...4816 (.sav) 17:43:15 $$: 999.99 17:43:17 Thanks. 17:43:19 -Steven 17:43:21 (I shall have $$ xfered later to cover the transactions). 17:43:55 WG9s: pop. i simply closed mail after a few messages loaded. (can't imagine how many in total, but they go back to 2007) 17:46:27 banks and computers? 17:46:32 YOU DON'T SAY! 17:47:05 one of my banks have a deceptively simple mobile banking portal 17:47:09 ...except when you log in 17:47:19 it stalls for a while while it downloads nearly 6MB of JavaScripts! 17:47:51 (which are completely unneeded as the page largely ignores them, and their banking portal still looks out of 2003) 17:48:27 Are in a hurry and need to check your balances? Nope, can't do, sit and wait while we deliver the JavaScripts 17:49:02 Oh, and their receipt printer was eating paper like mad when I went earlier today for a withdrawal 17:49:28 but then, printers are a separate tier of evil - hope Google and folks don't "disrupt" THOSE too 17:50:10 well of course they will. no need to print when you can save go Google Drive ;-) 17:50:34 JavaScript pandemics or paper jams and toner/ink leaks 17:50:36 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... 17:50:37 ...acess it. that could maybe work for you if it still exiists. 17:50:40 choices, choices.. 17:50:54 does Session Restore apply to Mail also, or do you need to reopen wanted Mail tabs? 17:55:06 therube: when i did use pop i suded to have local foders called 2007-mail etc that i moved the mail to. 17:55:15 to make the inbox smaller. 18:20:17 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. 18:21:11 that's odd (to not have that feature) 18:24:05 therube yes but not that useful I think. 18:25:40 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.
