Now now, we can't expect them to break the "no more than 2 consecutive versions of Windows may have the same naming scheme EVER" pattern. It'll be Windows Psi or Windows Neptune or something

I think they already used Neptune as an early codename for... Something? Maybe 2000?

It is absolutely bucketing down rain here in California. There's a rather serious roof leak at one of the facilities. They need tarps and buckets (or maybe full-on trashcans) and there was talk of getting a pump. The total for all that when they put it into Home Dept for buy online, store pickup came to several hundred dollars, which the maint guy cordially refused to put on his personal credit card for reimbursement "later", so they started calling people at home (on Sunday, for those of you reading this later) trying to find someone with a P-card who would actually answer the work phone.

So that someone could go online and buy Home Depot giftcards (You may see where this is going...) and provide the onsite people the info. So that they could check out the cart and get the flood supplies.

Very much to his credit, the first person they got a hold of asked for a video call to make sure he was actually talking to the people, and one quick Google meet later, he actually decided to meet the maint guy at Home Depot and pay in person.

I know god gives his strongest warriors the toughest challenges but I am not sure I am strong enough to politely explain to an accountant that email addresses are not case sensitive in the year of our lord 2024, and that this is not the reason their external collaborator doesn’t have a Sharepoint b2b invite.

(It’s because they were already in the site collection from last year and they didn’t actually check)

Email is case sensitive. Everyone has just ignored that part for the RFC for decades because it's pretty stupid.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

The email rfc also specifies emails can have a bunch of really stupid characters that nobody ever uses, forcing programmers to use insanely long regex's to validate emails, when it should just be *@*.* :colbert:

Addresses should be unicode so that people can spell their names properly in their language, you can always add aliases to make them typeable on other keyboards

The email RFC(s) didn't force programmers to do anything. As you note, for all intents and purposes the definition of a legitimate email address for an internet service is *@*.* Those who choose to waste time "validating" any further than that are doing it to themselves.

Just to be pedantic though, technically you need to go to *@* to cover all valid internet email addresses. There are a couple of TLDs for which the root has an A or MX record, which is no longer allowed but was in the past so they're grandfathered in.

RFC 6531 adds UTF-8 to SMTP and 6532 adds it to email headers making any non-ASCII Unicode string up to 64 octets valid for the "local-part" (username) and any valid IDN for the domain side.

Yet I've completely given up on that automatic label thing gmail is supposed to have with the email+label@gmail.com thing because all the stupid sites I'd want to use it for claim it's an invalid email address.

TBH I think that's on purpose. Those sites know that you want to filter their garbage out, so they add "+" to the excluded symbols list and just pretend their site is too dumb to get it right.

We have a nice domain (it's basically the company name on the .engineering TLD) and we have to religiously set up aliases for every address we use due to forms refusing to validate it. I've also had suppliers add a .com to the end of it because they thought they were helping and assumed company employees don't know their own email address.

I started using my own domain so shitcompany@myname.lol forwards to my Gmail. As long as the tld validates, it does the job.

I was pleasantly surprised the other day to actually be denied entry to a job site. It was a government office and a different tech had initially been assigned but he got pulled away for something else and they sent me instead. But it turned out they hadn't sent my government clearance forms to the site. My dispatcher was all annoyed that they wouldn't let me in but I had to make a point of commending the site contact for actually taking it seriously since my name didn't match the name she'd been given and she didn't have my clearance info. Normally you can get in basically anywhere if you have a clipboard and look bored.

I worked somewhere like that, if you weren’t on the list you’d need an escort. If it was just you, well too bad. And you needed an ID or another escort just to get to that gate, since the facility was on a military base. And even after that I think within the building itself you needed two keys to get through the locked doors that were housing the nerve gas that they’d run tests on. IT working in a facility with nerve gas, never again

These are the kind of stupid exceptions and special cases that make 'accurate' regex's for email addresses so complicated. :(

^.+@.+\..+$ should cover it, screw it.
