[00:00:30] <SpallsHurgenson> this is so wrong... why is it so funny? http://videosift.com
[00:00:32] <Barrabot> ^ 03Frosted Flakes Commercial -- Police Malfeasance
[00:01:01] -!- PlowKing [PlowKing!bob@nsa.gov] has joined #Soylent
[00:01:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> poutine, have at reporting it, big guy.
[00:02:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> #load
[00:02:10] <PlowKing> loaded
[00:02:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> #weather
[00:02:19] <MrPlow> Today: Clear. Lows overnight in the upper 30s. Tomorrow: A mainly sunny sky. High 73F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.
[00:02:19] -!- PlowKing has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[00:02:26] * TheMightyBuzzard sighs
[00:02:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, enough spamming the channel with bot debugging
[00:03:01] <SpallsHurgenson> awwww
[00:03:50] <SpallsHurgenson> then again, I guess it was disrupting all the legitimate conversation here...
[00:03:54] <SpallsHurgenson> <crickets>
[00:03:59] <poutine> Ok I just looked up the actual law, he needs to get something of value out of it
[00:04:06] * TheMightyBuzzard nods
[00:04:08] <poutine> in order to be charged with impersonating a federal official
[00:04:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> bots get nothing out of anything
[00:04:35] <poutine> I feel obligated to send bitcoins to it
[00:04:37] <poutine> what's the address
[00:04:42] <poutine> this is for protection money
[00:04:53] * TheMightyBuzzard scratches his head
[00:05:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> he's perl6, he can't protect you from so much as a wet fart yet.
[00:05:32] <poutine> you do realize perl is the laughingstock of the modern programming world
[00:05:37] <Yog-Yogguth> gtk+ stuff is weird, first ./configure fails then it works ????
[00:05:49] <poutine> hearing people writing shit in it feels like someone telling me they're starting a new project in coldfusion
[00:05:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> and yet it makes a huge chunk of *nix run
[00:05:58] <poutine> TheMightyBuzzard, it does not
[00:06:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> fraid so
[00:06:07] <poutine> citation?
[00:06:17] <poutine> what parts of a base debian system nowadays are written in perl
[00:06:42] <poutine> 0 in the kernel, 0 in the GNU userland
[00:07:03] <chromas> to be fair, use of the gnu userland is dwindling
[00:07:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> grep -rIHn '/usr/bin/perl' /
[00:08:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> woah, just got a hit on that off my freakin windows partition
[00:09:26] <poutine> I'm not seeing shit that's essential to my system running coming up
[00:09:36] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[00:09:41] <poutine> perl itself and some contrib/example scripts
[00:09:45] <chromas> not essential; better delete it to save space
[00:09:49] <poutine> I was incorrect about the kernel, there are some perl scripts in there
[00:09:53] <poutine> but it is as I suspected
[00:09:57] <poutine> perl is a dumb and dead language
[00:10:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup, no point in talking about it then.
[00:11:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean that it's hands down the best language there is at arbitrary text processing aside of course.
[00:11:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> tell me again what most web pages are made up of? oh, text? yeah, no place for perl anymore.
[00:13:54] <poutine> Python clearly beat perl
[00:14:01] <poutine> perl is a joke, nobody uses it anymore
[00:14:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh absolutely. it's so much younger and fresher than perl and has so many more libraries in a central location.
[00:15:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> python is only used because you can't write illegible code in it at school. otherwise it would be roundly mocked.
[00:16:20] <Yog-Yogguth> waah plz don't mock Python ;_;
[00:16:42] * Yog-Yogguth hugs Guido
[00:17:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> Yog-Yogguth, No. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
[00:18:03] <Yog-Yogguth> that's more like it :D
[00:18:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> THAT is the good python
[00:18:52] <Yog-Yogguth> that is PEP-8 or some such rule for Python ;)
[00:19:19] <Yog-Yogguth> not rule but you get what I mean
[00:19:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> knod knod
[00:21:00] <Yog-Yogguth> anyway Python runs on C
[00:22:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> the accountant-c?

[00:23:20] <Barrabot> ^ 03Go away or I shall taunt you again.avi - YouTube
[00:23:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> grr
[00:23:50] <Yog-Yogguth> btw was it here people were talking about geany?
[00:24:04] <chromas> Yeah; crutchy and Subsentient use it

[00:24:12] <Barrabot> ^ 03Monty Pythons - Meaning of Life - The Crimson Permanent Assurance - YouTube
[00:24:21] <Subsentient> Yog-Yogguth: Geany is good.
[00:24:27] <chromas> since gu'nome trashed gedit
[00:24:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> gvim ftw
[00:25:36] <Yog-Yogguth> I has compiled it from source after a gtk brainfart, it looks like overkill for my purposes but wanted to poke it a bit
[00:30:50] * Yog-Yogguth wonders why it uses #~ instead of # for py comments
[00:31:39] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[00:31:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> one of the mysteries of life
[00:32:00] <Yog-Yogguth> yeah
[00:35:36] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Hackers Can Steal Your Brain Waves - http://sylnt.us - tin-foil-hat-time
[00:36:23] <SpallsHurgenson> hah, I'll show them! I don't have any brain waves!
[00:36:29] * SpallsHurgenson drools on the keyboard
[00:36:38] * TheMightyBuzzard waves at SpallsHurgenson's brain
[00:36:49] * SpallsHurgenson drools on TMB's keyboard
[00:39:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> believe i'm gonna hafta go watch some more Mr. Robot before PlowKing lures me back in to learning myself some perl 6.
[00:40:07] * chromas tosses TheMightyBuzzard some spoilers
[00:40:38] * TheMightyBuzzard gets out his tools and goes to attach them to his car
[23:32:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> what the everlovin hell
