Don’t be evil, you know.
I hear ya. But to be honest, what they are doing here is fine, and doesn’t seem malicious. There is an Open Document specification and they stick to it, but the spec doesn’t enforce everything. For instance for the ordering of certain elements on the page, I bet you they store store those elements in memory in an efficient data structure where ordering doesn’t matter, so when writing out the memory to disk, the easiest for them to do is just write it out in what order it appears in their data structure.
But there are probably other cases where they are not so innocent.
I will join that therapy session. This is pretty much what we did, except LFS, since it was “a requirement” to also track what they layouting of the Excel file was like.
And even extracting and inserting the code was not stable. Excel will arbitrarily change the casing of “.path” to “.Path” for no reason and add and remove whitespace between functions as it see fit. It was such a pain. We also had a hard time handling unicode strings for instance containing a degree sign. And the list goes on.
Yeah, I made such a tool - and kept polishing edge cases until I gave up. So just wanted to warn everyone.
Let me tell you something. I cannot tell you what company, but I have been tasked with putting Excel files in git “because they are just zip archives with xml” and it is just a disaster. Everytime you save the document it will save certain parts of the xml code in arbitrary ways (like each image is in a list and the order of that list is random everytime), some metadata is re-written everytime like time of last modified and finally all the xml files are one single line. The git diffs are complete useless and noisy and just looking at the Excel file will cause git to consider it updated. So sure, you can use git to snapshot you Office documents… But just don’t.
Sounds like you should find a new product to use.
Hard to argue with that logic 😂
I am Danish and I have never seen this…
And someone’s broken heart!
Can we at least see it?
And would you call SSH a library?
Look. Doing A-E is going to be expensive enough for the young fella. I don’t think he can also afford gunshot wound treatment.
To be fair, this is a classical strategi in startups called “wizard of Oz prototyping” - it is used to test if there is a market for something before the tech is ready. But the tech is supposed to be created soon after and actually work…
Makes me realize I haven’t seen a dickbutt in years.
You knew it was fake/going to be a joke when anon got a girlfriend so easily.
I am kinda hearing what you are saying, but it also sounds quite depressing.
