SWMBO - I'm sort of surprised at having to explain this but She Who Must Be Obeyed. It's all over the forum. Perhaps I missed a memo?

I've spoken with several random strangers. Based on the information I gathered, I have reason to believe that BMWOS may have selected Ramen's beverage and given it a spin. A female subject may be on her way to a car somewhere. It's possible this female is traveling on foot. We're searching for both the unknown female subject and a car that's likely somewhere. It's got 4 wheels from what I gather. Be on the lookout.

I haven't had either in 36 years; I'll shower when I feel like it, if at all.

I don't recall ever having a SWMBO, whatever that might be. If I ever did, the penicillin cleared it up.

Not married. Survey N/A. Working from home since 2007 (eat your heart out, Covid).
I was about 7 years old when I told an aunt of mine I'd never get married. She thought that was so cute. I remember getting annoyed she didn't make me seriously.
She passed away last year. Had I had a chance to go see her before it happened, I would've reminded her I not only have not changed my mind, but I'm now convinced more than ever, at the age of 51, it was the right choice.

Q1: We both work from home. I shower first while she feeds the livestock. (two cats and a dog)
Q2: It's pointless to track the whereabouts of She Who Might Be Obeyed. She'll detect any messes I've made no matter how well I've cleaned up.
Q3: I hope she brings home lunch.

Well, go and f*** yourself.

Can you not OpenOffice or something?
I want to cackle like a madman watching the pendulum swing back towards "uhhh, this stuff sucks and native apps will always be better".

I am very open to alternatives, but in this very case it is at my workplace AND I reckon I enjoy the MSOffice suite.
Sharepoint is a big POS however.

Their thinking seems to be led by 'be better than Google at the online office suite'. Just look at the current 'New Outlook', it is an online interface in a native app . I guess they think that is where the majority will end up, online, with less and less users of the native apps
BTW, if you can't open an office doc in the native app from within SharePoint then I think that that's an admin setting, not an MS imposed limitation. From the ellipsis (...) menu, the Open item should give you three options, Open in browser, Open in app, Open in immersive reader.

Oh MY YES!!!
On a Mac it is hideous and flips to that abomination after every software update too.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I have a marketing company and I don't even understand what Microsoft is hoping to achieve (in the long term) with these changes. It's very ham-fisted.

Maybe they've applied the fail fast, break things and learn/adapt approach to all aspects of their business. Except they're struggling with the learning part, it's tough to clean 40 years of lint from your lugholes

MS Office files specifically, or the entire idea of office suites running in a browser?

I just found this:
if ( ( _recStatus.OnlineState() == ONLINE ) || (_falseOnline == true) ) in some code. I didn't write it.
What. The. .
... and yes, I know about The Weird and The Wonderful[^], which this is neither. This is motivation for homicide.

Ah, they miss the && (_trueOnline != false).
Or did you mean something else ?

Maybe the author wanted to write:
if ( ( _recStatus.OnlineState() == ONLINE ) || (_pretendOnline == true) ) ...just a thought.
However I have little patience for underscores at the beginning of variable names. Everyone should have got the memo that they are reserved for compiler use since 2003. Seems even Microsoft has heard about that.

My thoughts were more along the line of simulateOnline but everyone knows naming is the most difficult part of programming

Mircea Neacsu wrote: I have little patience for underscores at the beginning of variable names We use this for private and protected values. It's been part of our naming convention since the late 1990's, predating the compiler reservation. FWIW, we have never had a conflict in all that time over several code bases that run to millions of lines.

I've never had to work with such large code bases and I certainly respect your internal conventions. However, a little devil inside me thinks that a tool converting _variable to variable_ shouldn't be all that bad

Mircea Neacsu wrote: a tool converting _variable to variable_ shouldn't be all that bad Unfortunately a majority of our code base is C++, and Visual Studio support for refactoring it is still error-prone even in VS2022. They still exceed the scope when renaming values.
