[02:21:51] <Bytram> back
[02:22:05] <Bytram> glad you're enjoying it.
[02:22:11] <Bytram> fascinating document, that one
[02:23:12] <Bytram> about a year or two ago there was a writeup about how some of the pictures matched up with some botanicals in (?) South America / Mexico / I'm not sure.
[02:23:26] <Bytram> anyway, it seemed to be a bit of a 'Rosetta Stone' into deciphering it.
[02:23:36] <SirFinkus> this guy seems to know what he's talking about
[02:23:49] <Bytram> I recall downloading the entire manuscript then. and glancing through it. Very interesting!
[02:23:49] <SirFinkus> but I'm not in the position of judging it
[02:23:53] <Bytram> nod nod
[02:24:05] <SirFinkus> his claims seem realistic, and his logic makes sense
[02:24:07] * Bytram makes a quick search ... brb
[02:30:11] <Bytram> In 2014, Arthur O. Tucker and Rexford H. Talbert published a paper claiming a positive identification of 37 plants, 6 animals, and 1 mineral referenced in the manuscript to plant drawings in the Libellus de Medicinalibus Indorum Herbis or Badianus manuscript, a fifteenth century Aztec herbal.[39] They argue that these were from Colonial New Spain and represented the Nahuatl language, and date the manuscript to between 1521 (the date of the C
[02:30:11] <Bytram> in contradiction of radiocarbon dating evidence of the vellum and many other elements of the manuscript. The analysis has been criticized by other Voynich Manuscript researchers,[40] pointing out that—among other things—a skilled forger could construct plants that have a passing resemblance to existing plants that were heretofore undiscovered.[41]
[02:30:35] * Bytram recalls reading about that and it is what introduced me to the manuscript.
[02:31:02] <SirFinkus> I'm a bit skeptical of the forgery thing, simply because it's so old
[02:31:10] <Bytram> agreed
[02:31:16] <SirFinkus> and it stands up pretty well to modern analysis
[02:31:19] <SirFinkus> the text I mean
[02:31:41] <SirFinkus> it looks like a real language, except for a few small anomalies
[02:31:53] <SirFinkus> nothing insane as far as I can see
[02:32:20] <SirFinkus> poor rand paul http://i.imgur.com
[02:32:28] <Bytram> unless, of course, the author was testing some 'botanicals' while writing it.
[02:32:32] <SirFinkus> poor choice of thumbnails
[02:33:08] <SirFinkus> the video wasn't much more impressive
[02:34:25] <SirFinkus> someone made a contemporary fake book based on the voynich manuscript
[02:34:32] <Bytram> I'm by no means as educated on cyphers as those who have already undertaken its decypherment, so I remain a curious bystander who hopes that someday, someone will be able to explain its contents to a sufficient degree.
[02:34:39] <SirFinkus> it's pretty neat
[02:34:45] <SirFinkus> forgot the name though
[02:34:49] * SirFinkus looks
[02:34:59] <Bytram> feonorian?
[02:35:24] * Bytram does not remember the correct spelling of the alphabet of the Elves in 'The Lord of the Ring'

[02:35:46] <HL3-Confirmed> ^ 03Wiki: Codex Seraphinianus
[02:36:06] <Bytram> some classmates and I learned the alphabet and used it to pass notes among ourselves. Even if intercepted, it meant nothing to the teachers. win win!
[02:40:10] <SirFinkus> I need to buy that, It'd make an awesome coffee table book
[02:40:14] <Bytram> correction: it appears that I had learned <a href="http://www.omniglot.com/writing/tengwar.htm">tengwar</a>
[02:40:15] <HL3-Confirmed> ^ 03Tengwar (Elvish) alphabet
[02:40:58] <SirFinkus> I have scans of course, but I want something tangible
[02:43:15] <Bytram> well, for that matter, so would a copy of the Voynich manuscript! Unless, of course, it is still under copyright?
[02:43:17] <Bytram> ;)
[02:47:50] <Bytram> ok, that's just downright scary. It was decades ago that I learned that alphabet, I'd thought it was 'feonorian' and the correct spelling is: 'Fëanorian' (aka Tengwar)
[02:48:33] <Bytram> not too shabby!
[02:50:00] <Bytram> btw, ISTR a Star Trek ToS episode where Kirk plays a game of Tengwar which he apparently makes up on the fly. When later asked what tengwar was, he replied "The Exciting New Game Without Any Rules."
[02:50:17] <SirFinkus> lol
[02:52:44] <Bytram> hmmm, I thought it was on star trek... /me keeps looking
[02:53:13] <SirFinkus> it sounds star trekish

[03:01:34] <SirFinkus> it'd be nice to not use my cell phone though
[03:01:47] <Bytram> well then, just use someone else's!
[03:02:22] <SirFinkus> no advantage, at lease if I use the 4g on my cell phone, they can't tie it to a student
[03:02:57] <Bytram> hmm, fizzbin ??
[03:03:00] <SirFinkus> with a vpn they could too, but they could just see a student was using a vpn, not which sites he was going to

[03:04:42] <Bytram> lol
[03:05:22] <SirFinkus> I could imagine a scenario in the future where I'm accused of being in denial of my sexual identity
[03:05:24] <Bytram> yep, looks like I had those two games confused. fizzbin was on star trek ToS; tengwar appears to have been wrt to a movie
[03:05:43] * Bytram closes a dozen tabs
[03:05:54] <SirFinkus> the thing voynich reminds me of most is the TNG episode
[03:05:56] <SirFinkus> you know the one
[03:06:04] <Bytram> offhand, no I don't
[03:06:05] * SirFinkus won't try spelling it
[03:06:10] <SirFinkus> yeah you do
[03:06:20] <Bytram> sadly, I missed quite a number of those

[03:07:39] <Bytram> doesn't sound familiar

[03:08:12] <SirFinkus> not even a star trek nerd and I now it
[03:08:15] <SirFinkus> *know it
[03:09:02] <Bytram> it's coming back to me; still reading
[03:11:13] <SpallsHurgenson> that's the one where he, Troi, Worf and Beverly are in a foursome, right?
[03:14:11] <SpallsHurgenson> I learned a lot from that episode.
[03:15:42] <Bytram> "New friends, captain?"

[03:18:37] <Bytram> was distracted... just finished reading it. yeah. I remember it now.
[03:19:08] <Bytram> be advised that I've worked the past several days, including sat and sun, so I'm not at my sharpest atm.
[03:19:16] <Bytram> in fact, it's time for me to hit the hay

[03:19:37] <SirFinkus> provisionally
[03:19:40] <Bytram> really enjoyed the conversation.
[03:20:08] <Bytram> I didn't say I'd forgotten it, just that I couldn't remember it offhand... limited details. Now that I read the memory alphalink, I remember it now.

[03:20:23] <Bytram> had not seen it since the original air date, btw.
[03:20:35] <SirFinkus> actually, consider the nerd card under probation
[03:20:45] <SirFinkus> you did communicate with classmates using a fictional language
[03:21:21] <Bytram> and, if I may ask, what gives you the authority to pull a nerd card?
[03:21:24] <SirFinkus> but not remembering Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra is pretty heinous
[03:22:05] <SirFinkus> I just watched a 1 hour thing on youtube about the Voynich manuscript
[03:22:11] <SirFinkus> a power point presentation no less
[03:22:20] <Bytram> you only stated THAT while I was reading the memory alpha link; it you had said that, at first, I'd have rememberd it.

[03:22:41] * Bytram offers a roll of tissue
[03:23:18] <SirFinkus> no, I linked a earlier than that
[03:23:39] <SirFinkus> it appears you've entered a temporal anomaly
[03:23:49] <SirFinkus> or you're stuck in the holodeck again
[03:24:09] <Bytram> SirFinkus: my net link is too slow to bother with youtube unless I download the whole thing and view it later.
[03:24:24] <Bytram> you are assuming that everyone has fast boradband.
[03:24:27] <SirFinkus> which is a -- to nerd cred
[03:24:59] <Bytram> it helps me to pay the rent which is a bonus to surviving when it is 10 degrees out as it is tonight.

[03:27:11] <SirFinkus> that's not even cold

[03:48:56] <SirFinkus> naturally
[03:49:05] <Cmn32480_phone> Soon to be a second beer
[03:49:26] <Cmn32480_phone> Hole in the bottom of my glass
[03:50:02] <SpallsHurgenson> I think you'll find that's because you are holding it upside down
[03:50:14] <Cmn32480_phone> Faulty workmanship. There is a hole in the top where the beer spilled out into my mouth
[03:50:15] <SirFinkus> anything to do in dallas?
[03:50:32] <SirFinkus> aside from drinking in the hotel bar

[03:51:27] <SpallsHurgenson> yay, I'm somebody now!
[03:51:45] <SirFinkus> naw, you need 3 more good ones before you're somebody
[03:51:52] <SpallsHurgenson> awwww

[03:53:02] <SpallsHurgenson> ... and then you'll pay; you'll all PAY, muahahahahahaha!
[03:53:16] <SirFinkus> what did you order?
[03:53:46] <SirFinkus> give the waiter/waitress only a 15% tip, you really should have your second drink before the food arrives
[03:54:01] <SirFinkus> unless it was just the appetizer
[03:54:07] <SirFinkus> or you're a slow drinker
[03:54:13] <SpallsHurgenson> he's in texas, home to tex-mex and fresh-off-the-bones steaks... so of course he ordered a salad :)
[03:54:36] <Cmn32480_phone> Chicken tortilla soup
[03:54:52] <SirFinkus> ahh, soup, unacceptable
[03:55:00] <SirFinkus> they just need to scoop that out of a vat
[03:55:03] <SpallsHurgenson> how do you get the soup in the tortilla?
[03:55:03] <Cmn32480_phone> Burger with pepper jack jalapeño and onion staws
[03:55:10] <SirFinkus> err, the opposite
[03:55:14] <Cmn32480_phone> And another beer
[03:55:19] <SirFinkus> sorry, I had drinks at home
[03:55:32] <SirFinkus> so service was good, tip normal amoun
[03:55:33] <SirFinkus> t

[03:56:44] <Cmn32480_phone> If she.tried, she could probably talk.me.out.of.my pants
[03:56:46] <SirFinkus> assuming you didn't wait 15 minutes for the soup

[04:09:17] <SirFinkus> that's fucked up
[04:11:09] <Cmn32480_phone> Not the weekend. It is monday
[04:11:23] <Cmn32480_phone> Put on you big girl panties and get it done
[04:11:54] <SirFinkus> it's a 3 day weekend, I didn't have school today
[04:12:04] <Cmn32480_phone> I had work.
[04:12:08] <SirFinkus> I got that at noon after I thought I'd finished all my shit
[04:12:26] <Cmn32480_phone> Welcome to real life!
[04:13:03] <SirFinkus> fair nuff, but if you had a 3 day weekend and your boss emailed you at noon on monday saying that you had some shit that needed to be done before tuesday, you'd be upset
[04:13:34] <SirFinkus> especially if there was no indication that it'd be coming earlier
[04:13:44] <Cmn32480_phone> No... I'd be smart enough to not check my email
[04:13:48] <SirFinkus> it's school, it's not like this should be s suprise

[04:14:22] <SirFinkus> "it's my day off!"
[04:14:45] <Cmn32480_phone> Right, but the teacher would hear "I was gone all weekend with no access to my email."
[04:15:03] <SirFinkus> you'd think it though
[04:15:19] <Cmn32480_phone> Correct
[04:15:31] <SirFinkus> it's a violation

[04:16:12] <SirFinkus> I specifically finished all my shit on friday so I could look forward to a 3 day weekend
[04:16:18] <Cmn32480_phone> The social contract is dead.
[04:16:44] <SirFinkus> I was actually responsible for once
[04:16:52] <Cmn32480_phone> Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[04:16:54] <SirFinkus> I could have just put it off until today if I knew I had more

[04:18:38] <SirFinkus> you know you'd be pissed too Cmn32480_phone, don't even go there
[04:18:49] <Ethanol-fueled> what happened fink?
[04:18:51] <SirFinkus> so fucking 3 day weekend from school
[04:19:09] <SirFinkus> I go and finish my homework all on friday so I can enjoy the entire weekend
[04:19:25] <Cmn32480_phone> You and everybody else are piss ed about it.
[04:19:30] <SirFinkus> then my math professor assigns homework today at noon that's due tomorrow
[04:20:08] <Ethanol-fueled> that's pretty shitty...but math and sciencey teachers are autists.
[04:20:29] <Ethanol-fueled> what math is it, if you don't mind me asking?
[04:20:44] <SirFinkus> retard math, forgot all the shit I learned in high school
[04:21:16] <Ethanol-fueled> Eh, don't kick yourself. I had to start college with the equivalent of high school algebra II and still had a hard time.
[04:21:17] <SirFinkus> it's easy, but it's the principle of the matter
[04:21:40] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, that's just fucking rude. But isn't it MLK day? Can't you play the race card?
[04:21:51] <SirFinkus> I'm white as fuck
[04:22:04] <SirFinkus> I get sunburns during the winter
[04:22:14] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, but it would be racially insensitive of your professor to bring that up.
[04:22:20] <SirFinkus> vitamin d for DAAAAAYS
[04:22:27] <Cmn32480_phone> I read "I'm a white ass fuck"
[04:22:37] <Ethanol-fueled> Tell that professor that you were adopted by Black people.
[04:23:25] <Cmn32480_phone> And you are 1/8 african

[04:24:08] <SirFinkus> but that's not really black
[04:24:10] <Ethanol-fueled> Then you can round up all of your classmates who were no doubt also pissed off about that and accuse the professor of racism so he has to quit or be fired.
[04:24:30] <SirFinkus> he? that's sexist
[04:24:52] <Ethanol-fueled> it, whatever.
[04:25:01] <Ethanol-fueled> as if women can do math tho

[04:25:29] <Cmn32480_phone> Thanks guys
[04:25:36] <Cmn32480_phone> Today had been shitty.
[04:25:47] <Cmn32480_phone> This is hilarious
[04:26:02] <SirFinkus> funny you mention that, professor is Indian
[04:26:05] <Cmn32480_phone> I needed the laugh in a bad way
[04:26:07] <SirFinkus> dot, not woowoowoo
[04:26:18] <Ethanol-fueled> Indian men are assholes, my female friends tell me.
[04:26:25] <Cmn32480_phone> Make all variables 7 and 11
[04:27:01] <Cmn32480_phone> I had an Indian cs professor that did that. Class about fell out
[04:27:03] <Ethanol-fueled> I;'ll tell you this, fink - know your algebraic manipulation down cold. THat's the one fucking skill you will need when you get to the big leagues.
[04:27:19] <SirFinkus> noted
[04:27:25] <Ethanol-fueled> 95% of your math hassles are going to be related to algebraic manipulation.
[04:28:04] <SirFinkus> I see to be doing well with that so far
[04:28:11] <SirFinkus> aced the first test
[04:28:24] <SirFinkus> who knows later, but this is all review so far
[04:29:47] <Cmn32480_phone> Back in a bit.. my phone is dying
[04:30:27] <Ethanol-fueled> I only made it to calc II, but even that at that level the only real difference between that and babby algebra is that you have few large problems rather than a lot of small easier once.
[04:31:11] <SirFinkus> my problem is that I'm hasty and I think I'm dyslexic with numbers or something
[04:31:51] <SirFinkus> takes forever for me to copy down the problems, and if I make mistakes, it's almost always a problem with copying something
[04:32:06] <Ethanol-fueled> do MUH DISABILITY and get a fuckton of extra time to take your tests
[04:32:09] <SirFinkus> I rarely have a problem with the logic
[04:32:43] <SirFinkus> I'd rather just learn to work around it, given how math heavy my intended career would be
[04:32:55] <Ethanol-fueled> what is your intended career?
[04:33:01] <SirFinkus> EE
[04:33:20] <Ethanol-fueled> Oh fuck. That's one dream I gave up on long ago. Well, good luck with that...hahaha
[04:33:46] <SirFinkus> I think I can pull it off, if not, I'll just go into CS
[04:33:53] <SirFinkus> :^)
[04:34:39] <SirFinkus> I got a year or two before it gets hard
[04:35:23] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm in an easy program probably designed so that minorities can pass it and so we get more "diversity" in the workplace.
[04:36:02] <Ethanol-fueled> Most CS programs at state schools require calc II and 1 or 2 semesters of calc-based physics.
[04:38:13] <SirFinkus> it's a good thing race is a social construct :^)
[04:38:29] <SirFinkus> could just be whatever race you identify as
[04:39:45] <SirFinkus> "I grew up in the Hispanic community, and I identify more with them than I do the White community"
[04:39:48] <SirFinkus> etc etc
[04:40:11] <Ethanol-fueled> I grew up in a Hispanic community, and that's why I hate Hispanics.
[04:40:42] <Cmn32480_phone> I grew up near a Cuban restaurant and that is why I love the food
[04:41:04] <Ethanol-fueled> Latinoids do make some taste foods tho
[04:41:07] <SirFinkus> never had cuban food
[04:41:13] <SirFinkus> I'd try it though
[04:41:24] <Cmn32480_phone> Oregon is not exactly a hotbed for it
[04:41:50] <Cmn32480_phone> It is excellent
[04:42:06] <SirFinkus> it sucks how americanized most ethnic food is in the Us
[04:42:09] <Cmn32480_phone> Go to Miami. They have it all over for some reason
[04:42:20] <SirFinkus> can't imagine why
[04:42:42] <SirFinkus> I've learned to cook Korean, Japanese, and Mexican food, the real thing is so much better
[04:42:51] <Cmn32480_phone> Dunno... but ally family that lives there says it is just like when they were in cuba
[04:43:20] <Cmn32480_phone> Then the shit we get I n restaurants? Duh?
[04:43:35] <SirFinkus> idk about Cuban food, Miami probably has a lot of 1st generation immigrants
[04:43:49] <Ethanol-fueled> and dey gots cocaine and Jews too.
[04:44:16] <Cmn32480_phone> They do have a lot of first generation immigrants but they are getting old
[04:44:17] <Ethanol-fueled> THere is no greater disgrace to Mexican food than that yuppie abomination called "Chipotle"
[04:44:26] <SirFinkus> all the "mexican" restaurants in my area have the same menu
[04:44:34] <SirFinkus> beans and meat covered in cheese
[04:44:35] <Cmn32480_phone> Tacos
[04:44:39] <Cmn32480_phone> Burritos
[04:44:40] <SirFinkus> basically taco bell
[04:44:42] <Ethanol-fueled> are they all called *Berto's?
[04:44:48] <Cmn32480_phone> And and occasional chimichamga
[04:45:06] <SirFinkus> idk what taco del mar is, but it's delicious
[04:45:40] <SirFinkus> chipotle has good rice, but I can make that at home
[04:45:45] <SirFinkus> so why bother?
[04:46:04] <SirFinkus> sans salmonella even
[04:46:40] <Ethanol-fueled> yeah, that's pretty hilarious. "Healthy" indeed. Plus a burrito is like 9 bucks if you put avocado innit. And the lines are always inexplicable fuckhuge at lunchtime.
[04:47:13] <SirFinkus> taco del mar is usually a safe bet, just don't get the fish

[04:53:18] <cmn32480> they live a few hours south of there now
[04:54:11] <SirFinkus> looking at the menu, I'd probably get the masitas de cerdo fritas
[04:54:37] <SirFinkus> or the PERNIL ASADO
[04:54:56] <SirFinkus> probably the latter, because they claim it's a speciality

[04:56:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Damn, I'd be down to eat that if it weren't for the chorizo. My sissy and fussy White eating habits don't permit chorizo-eating.

[04:58:08] <Ethanol-fueled> I've had it before, I didn't care for it compared to other meats. It tasted okay.
[04:58:19] <Ethanol-fueled> ropa viaja looks good.

[04:59:05] <SirFinkus> yeah, can't really go wrong with ropa vieja
[04:59:17] <SirFinkus> but I feel like I could make that myself
[04:59:34] <cmn32480> possible
[04:59:43] <cmn32480> but the creole sauce is the key
[05:00:08] <SirFinkus> looks suspiciously close to fajitas
[05:00:10] <cmn32480> I know for sure I have had everythign on the beef and pork menus
[05:00:12] <SirFinkus> I make amazing fajitas
[05:00:29] <SirFinkus> never made creole sauce, but pretty sure I could figure it out
[05:00:36] <SirFinkus> that kind of thing is usually easy
[05:01:32] <cmn32480> apparently there is a place called the twisted Cuban Cafe in Woodinville, WA
[05:01:57] <SirFinkus> usually the key to that kind of dish seems to be the meat
[05:02:18] <SirFinkus> I'm pretty good at steaks now
[05:02:42] <SirFinkus> that's like a 2.5 hour drive for me
[05:02:45] <cmn32480> I'm sure it is a skill like any other that can be learned
[05:02:58] <SirFinkus> steaks are actually pretty easy
[05:03:16] <SirFinkus> you just need to learn how rare/medium/well done feels
[05:03:21] <cmn32480> not my fault you live in bumblefuck
[05:03:57] <SirFinkus> except you really only need to know how medium feels, because after that point the steak is ruined
[05:04:13] <cmn32480> true
[05:05:10] <SirFinkus> I prefer rare, but I won't raise an eyebrow if someone wants one medium
[05:05:22] <SirFinkus> if someone orders well done, it's pretty hard to fuck up
[05:05:34] <cmn32480> or not fuck up.... as the case may be
[05:05:41] <SirFinkus> for them I mean

[07:22:02] <SirFinkus> this dumb fuckers are FREEZING POTATOES
[07:22:21] <SirFinkus> why the fuck would you freeze a potato?
[07:22:34] <SirFinkus> they last like 3 months just sitting int he cupboard
[07:22:59] <chromas> Freeze potatos; hit with hammer
[07:23:42] <SirFinkus> if it was something that rotted in a week, I'd give them a little slack
[07:23:52] <SirFinkus> but fucking potatoes?
[07:24:38] <SirFinkus> even if you keep them longer, you can cut the bad parts out and make mashed potatoes
[07:30:58] <SirFinkus> don't even have to do that, potatoes are cheap as fuck, just throw them out and buy more
[07:31:03] <SirFinkus> I'm irish, I know my potatoes
[07:32:53] <poutine> haha potato famine
[07:33:51] <SirFinkus> I can get russet potatoes at the grocery story for $0.43 a pound
[07:34:21] <SirFinkus> I'm sure I can get them cheaper if I'm getting $20
[07:35:08] <poutine> In the critically acclaimed The Martian, Matt Daemon survives off potatoes, also I can fit 3/4 lb of ceviche in my anal cavity before seepage
[07:35:25] <SirFinkus> I can sell 1 baked potato for probably 5-6 bucks
[07:35:27] <chromas> psssh
[07:35:30] <chromas> only ¾?
[07:35:46] <SirFinkus> granted, requires fixins
[07:36:05] <SirFinkus> but still a healthy profit
[07:36:16] <SirFinkus> poutine knows his potatoes too I suspect
[07:36:36] <poutine> да
[07:37:54] <poutine> my work has mouthwash dispensers in the bathroom, I really wonder how much fecal contamination it has
[07:38:23] <SirFinkus> I'd never trust public mouthwash dispensers
[07:38:23] <chromas> Or if you can use them to get drunk
[07:38:34] <SirFinkus> who doesn't take care of that shit before they leave the house?
[07:38:52] <chromas> Maybe it's for people who lunch there
[07:39:21] <SirFinkus> maybe, I don't usually do oral hygiene after lunch
[07:39:28] <SirFinkus> just after I wake up and before I go to bed
[07:40:25] <SirFinkus> if I did, I'd bring my own stuff
[07:40:51] <poutine> who has time to deal with dental hygiene when most of your night is spent cleaning up the ridiculous amounts of cowper's fluid you produce and excrete during your sleep
[07:41:51] <chromas> post-lunch oral hygiene—swish whiskey
[07:41:56] <SirFinkus> that doesn't tend to end up in my mouth, at least my own fluids :^)
[07:44:33] <SirFinkus> it isn't usually ingested orally either
[07:47:31] <SirFinkus> "a free supply of potatoes for the next 6 months"
[07:47:42] <SirFinkus> so like, $200 worth of potatoes?
[07:47:45] <SirFinkus> SCHOCKING

[07:51:09] <SirFinkus> probably closer to 3/4
[07:52:26] <SirFinkus> the only thing you can do wrong cooking a potato is undercooking it
[07:52:48] <SirFinkus> I haven't even managed to fuck up cooking potatoes

[11:03:25] <Subsentient> So I'm finally doing stuff in C++.
[11:03:54] <Subsentient> I kinda like it, but it has pitfalls and advantages. I imagine a lot of future projects will be mixed C and C++ in the same codebase.
[11:04:13] <Subsentient> For one, I don't like the stronger typing. I *like* weak types.
[11:04:55] <Subsentient> I want implicit to and from void* conversion, dammit!
[11:05:21] <Subsentient> and I like having a function pointer to something with an unspecified number of arguments!
[11:13:17] <Subsentient> I like being able to call a function that's undeclared just so I can quickly see if it works!
[11:13:55] <Subsentient> I like declaring structure types inside other structures and having it go into the same name space!
[11:14:19] <Subsentient> I like being able to have my variable be the same name as the structure or enumerator tag!

[11:21:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, right there with yas. strong typing is for those with weak minds.
[11:21:47] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Indeed!
[11:22:03] <Subsentient> Not to mention how much faster C compiles than C++
[11:22:08] <Subsentient> but hey, I'm kinda liking C++
[11:22:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> only thing i really like about perl6
[11:22:15] -!- SirFinkus has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
[11:22:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> has OPTIONAL strong typing
[11:24:25] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: I'm the guy who has signed-unsigned implicit conversions all over the fucking place and who abuses the calling convention in my function pointer casts.
[11:25:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> truth. i do int->string conversion all over the damned place and don't want to spend an extra line of code just to do it.
[11:26:44] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: I have my own boolean type, Bool, in Epoch. I store non-boolean values in it sometimes when using it in signal handlers etc.
[11:27:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> i know what i'm doing when i convert from one datatype to another. the language i'm using should assume i'm not an idiot.
[11:27:19] <Subsentient> agreed.
[11:27:51] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: One thing I do hate, however, is the string functions in C. They're really dangerous.
[11:27:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> and bitching because i supplied a different number of arguments to a function this time than last time? da hell?
[11:28:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar. strings in c are not friendly.

[11:37:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah i mean it poorly parsed the first sentence of each result
[11:37:36] <Subsentient> ahh
[11:37:44] <Subsentient> you write this?
[11:38:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. watched one of the family guy episodes with ollie doing blackuweather and got inspired
[11:38:16] <Subsentient> hehe
[11:38:32] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: you know C?
[11:38:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> enough to get by. i ain't an expert.
[11:38:52] <Subsentient> ahh
[11:39:06] <Subsentient> Well that's me with C++, but with C, I'm pretty expert.
[11:39:15] <Subsentient> So my C++ looks a lot like C :^P
[11:39:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> i COULD write something in it if i had to but unless it really needed to be optimized it would be written in perl most likely.
[11:40:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> like i hadn't touched java since java was new but put on my big girl panties and wrote a minecraft mod in it a couple weeks ago.
[11:40:48] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: I know enough python to read it, but that's the only scripting language I'm really useful with.
[11:41:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's an okay scripting language if you like having your hands tied and being verbose. perl seems more your speed though.
[11:41:49] <Subsentient> I kinda dropped the ball on python, for one, no constants or enums or anything
[11:41:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> do what you want, how you want.
[11:42:26] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Got some perl source of yours I can look at?
[11:43:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> well there's rehash but you prolly want something simpler... gimme a few, none of it's publicly posted anywhere.
[11:43:30] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: I want something readable that shows me most of perl's grammar/syntax.
[11:44:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm...
[11:44:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> most of would be HUGE
[11:44:37] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Mmm, well, pick something you think should be my first exposure to perl.
[11:44:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> the stuff necessary for my style is a smaller subset cause there's too many ways to do things.
[11:45:17] <Subsentient> Perl does things mostly procedurally, right?
[11:46:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> pretty much
[11:46:21] <Subsentient> Good. Another thing I hated about python was the forced OOP.
[11:46:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> there's some quasi-oo stuff but it's generally good practice to make that optional as well.
[11:46:46] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Perl has constants, right?
[11:47:19] <Subsentient> An unmodifiable variable?
[11:47:37] <Subsentient> (like const in C)
[11:47:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> it can but ya gotta jump through a hoop or two to get one
[11:47:53] <Subsentient> aww
[11:47:56] <Subsentient> enums?
[11:48:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> you know, i've no idea.

[11:49:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> that one is all mine for the most part. i think pj tacked a bit on but the majority i wrote.
[11:50:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd paste bot source but i don't wanna have to clean out hardcoded passwords for the services it uses.
[11:51:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> my shat starts about line 49 on that
[11:51:36] <Subsentient> line 69 local *PIDFILE;
[11:51:39] <Subsentient> is that a POINTER???
[11:51:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> looks like it but no. it's a typeglob
[11:51:56] <Subsentient> aww
[11:52:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> means all variables named PIDFILE, no matter their type, are now local
[11:52:13] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Is Perl copy-by-value or copy-by-reference?
[11:52:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> either
[11:52:29] <Subsentient> And, if by value, do you have references/pointers?
[11:52:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> $string = %hash; is a pointer
[11:53:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> or $string = \$stringb; is also a pointer
[11:53:18] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: When you pass a "normal" integer variable to a function, is it a reference or a copy?
[11:53:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> copy
[11:53:37] <Subsentient> Good.
[11:53:51] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: I really like it. I really do. This is the scripting language I wanted.
[11:54:07] * TheMightyBuzzard nods
[11:54:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's even more loosy-goosy than c though so always be careful
[11:55:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you're a book learnin guy, pick up the o'reilly camel book. it's the bible.
[11:55:18] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: Wow. Got good book recommendations I can buy for $3 on abebooks.com?
[11:55:46] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: I learn from a book, and I also appreciate a language standard document.
[11:56:20] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: For example, for C, this is generally what I refer to: http://port70.net
[11:56:22] <HL3-Confirmed> ^ 03The C89 Draft
[11:57:07] <Subsentient> It's a very terse but accurate document.
[11:57:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh, i mostly hit up perldoc.perl.org
[11:58:26] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: What kind of backward compatibility does it have? Is a perl 5 program legal perl 6?
[11:59:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> no but perl5 will be around for many years yet and it's been here for like 15 already.
[11:59:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> they like to break some things between major versions and i'm not certain perl6 will go anywhere at all.
[12:00:10] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: So, is it like Python 2 >> 3, where you can edit it to fix it, or is it "you gotta rewrite from scratch"?
[12:00:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> 5->6? rewrite more or less. you can save some code but a lot will need rewritten.
[12:00:58] <Subsentient> Ouch.
[12:01:00] <Subsentient> OUCH.
[12:01:06] <crutchy> TheMightyBuzzard, are the pointers like fake php pointers?
[12:01:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> 6 isn't a given that it's going anywhere though. five will continue being relevant for many years to come.
[12:01:32] * crutchy grumbles at php's shitty pointer shitness
[12:02:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, well they're sorta pointers. they store perl's reference to the memory area of the variable.
[12:02:23] <crutchy> ergh. so they're like php
[12:02:49] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[12:03:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're not gonna do pointer math with them if that's what you're asking.
[12:03:54] <Subsentient> TheMightyBuzzard: That's the nice thing about C and to a lesser extent C++. I can take code written in 1991 and compile it today,
[12:04:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> given that $foo is a reference to %bar, printing $foo will give you something along the lines of "HASH(2347924)
[12:04:14] <Subsentient> Switching the compiler from C89 to C11 does NOT break the codebase.
[12:04:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> Subsentient, always: use strict; use warnings;
[12:05:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> until you know when not to.
[12:05:18] <crutchy> php's dodgy pointers meant i couldn't store a socket pointer cos it wasn't really a pointer
[12:05:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm
[12:05:53] <crutchy> it was just some shitty stream reference
[12:06:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> you CAN do that with perl but i advise against it. especially cross-process.
[12:06:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> for IPC you can NOT do that.
[12:06:36] <crutchy> you can if you use the same process space
[12:06:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> one perl memory space is not going to be the same as another perl memory space.
[12:06:49] <crutchy> well, if you weren't using gay pointers
[12:06:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's by design though.
[12:08:16] <crutchy> when i do a ~restart on exec, it uses pcntl_exec, which restarts in the same memory space
[12:08:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> rehash in fact does just that with mod_perl though. loads some things in init scripts then stores their references in memory and pulls them out later in an actual script.
[12:08:37] <crutchy> but if i leave the socket hanging i still can't recover it :|
[12:08:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> bummer
[12:09:11] <crutchy> cos its a new php instance i guess
[12:09:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly
[12:09:32] <crutchy> that's why

[12:14:05] <Subsentient> php appears to be a hideous language.
[12:19:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> lil bit but it's lighter on ram than perl for a lot of things.
[12:20:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> like MrPlow runs like 50 freakin megs resident cause the irc library is a heavy as hell library.
[12:22:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> plus i do things like eval code from a file at runtime.

[15:40:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> stoopid perl
[15:48:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> rather, stoopid rehash
[15:51:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> TheMightyBuzzard: I'm gonna blame Perl
[15:52:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, perl's just doing what it's told. not its fault crazy people wrote the code.
[15:52:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> I don't mind there being more than one to do it, but Perl's now got 50 ways to do everything, and usually only 2 to 4 of them are readable; the rest use regular expressions that are indistinguishable from line noise on an old-school modem.
[15:53:37] <AndyTheAbsurd> but hey, I still program in Java so you probably shouldn't listen to me....like, ever. :)
[15:54:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> no worries. i never listen to anyone who can't grok a regex of less than 50 characters.
[15:55:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> pretty much every language uses pcre. if you're rolling your own string parsing, you're doing it wrong.
[16:01:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> my biggest problem with Perl isn't actually regexes (like anything else, you can use them well or you can use them poorly, and I've used them to good effect in Java). My biggest problem with Perl is all the special variables that are "$" plus an extra character. $_, $[, $^, $., $|... Strikes me as poor design.
[16:02:17] <AndyTheAbsurd> Most of my other problems with Perl amound to "I haven't used this language enough so I'm not familiar with its idioms".
[16:06:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> those do annoy me but then i rarely use them, so no biggie.
[16:07:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... i know we've got a sub that transforms user supplied text to html so multi-line text displays as multi-line but i'm going to have to do some hunting to find it.
[16:10:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> i tell a lie, @_ gets the shit used out of it in rehash, as it does in most any perl program. $_ however should be avoided whenever possible. it can be unexpectedly overwritten if you don't pay attention to what you're doing.
[16:11:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> the rest i just never use
[16:11:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> @_ being "all the arguments that were supplied to this subroutine"
[16:12:19] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yeah, I know there's an $ one and a @ that SUPER common but I work with Perl so rarely that I forget what they are/do.
[16:13:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> personally, i dislike using @_
[16:13:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> it can cause problems if you supply an unexpected number of arguments depending on the variable types you're stuffing them into.
