[12:21:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay. done with that simple program. need moar coffee.

[12:54:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's fun writing programs that compile to under 16KB
[12:58:13] <cmn32480> you go 624k left... get on it!
[13:04:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> i wish. only 262144 bytes total program space.
[13:10:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i'll add a bit more so i don't have to recompile to change one value

[13:49:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> 0 cups of coffee and I'm wide as fuck awake.
[13:50:00] * AndyTheAbsurd is probably - as usual - an outlier. (Which is different from being an outright liar.)
[14:33:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, see your doctor. there's something horribly wrong with you.
[14:34:00] <cmn32480> he's been decaffeinated!
[14:35:28] <AndyTheAbsurd> Not needing caffeine to feel awake is *amazing*. Although I don't expect any of you coffee-heads to believe me. :)
[14:37:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> coffee isn't just about the caffeine. it's about the ritual, the taste, and the reason to sit outside doing nothing much for a while every morning as well.
[14:39:28] * TheMightyBuzzard got to watch a couple of baby deer with the spots still on eating leaves across the street this morning

[15:03:52] <cmn32480> i suggest penecillin on your grocery list
[15:07:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> screw antibiotics. they *might* lessen the length of the infection but they'll damned sure nuke all the bacteria in my digestive tract as well, which would be less than fun.
[15:29:34] <cmn32480> sensitive are you?

[21:14:10] <Virindi> oh man, there he is. mr. dick.
[21:14:36] <chromas> Harry Richard?
[21:22:23] <Virindi> dunno who that is.
[21:22:35] <Virindi> does he post about "dick niggers" :P
[21:27:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> my fault entirely. i was missing a ] in a regex
[21:27:42] <Virindi> he is really on his game.
[21:29:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> he's going to have to step it up in a moment. i fixed the one he was using.
[21:30:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> bloody thing was missing a ] but not throwing an error about it
[21:30:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> stupid perl
[21:30:42] <chromas> Watch yo mouth!
[21:31:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd rather watch a beer go in my mouth
[21:31:11] <chromas> [wrath of perl]
[21:31:26] <Virindi> perl was ahead of its time, silently hiding errors and letting them cause unexpected behavior down the line is all the rage these days
[21:31:27] <Virindi> :P
[21:33:07] <chromas> I'm surprised it's not more popular now
[21:33:12] <chromas> node.pl
[21:34:17] <Virindi> nah the problem is, a modern language must be super easy to code with, but move all that work out to a setup and configuration language from hell
[21:34:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> oooh, good idea
[21:34:31] <Virindi> perl is lacking that
[21:34:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> we could use perl for that language. save time.
[21:34:53] <Virindi> no
[21:35:20] <Virindi> it needs to be something you can't actually code in, so that whenever you need to accomplish something you hit a situation where the language just BARELY doesn't let you do what you need
[21:35:45] <Virindi> jeez it's like you've never used a hipster platform :P
[21:37:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, i use rust
[21:37:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> i even like rust
[21:37:26] <chromas> Rust was an accident
[21:37:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i was thinking that as well
[21:37:51] <chromas> Mozilla doesn't usually make something good
[21:38:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's like they tried to make something annoying as hell but couldn't even get that right.
[21:38:13] <chromas> failed to fail
[21:38:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> zactly
[21:38:23] <Virindi> hey, weird stuff happens
[21:38:54] <Virindi> like, when MS developed .NET, they actually made it really well designed. So they've been doing everything possible to remedy that since
[21:40:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya know... i need a ciagrette. stoopid fucking perl... bitches about every other bit of missing punctuation cept that one...
[21:40:22] <Virindi> "oh crap, people can still understand this code. we need to add yet another type of special language builtin"
[21:41:57] <chromas> They should fire Anders Hejlsberg then
[21:42:58] <chromas> tmb, just port rehash to rust
[21:44:27] <Virindi> we must add so many language features to every language that each person's chosen set of features forces any other person to look up how those features work in order to read the code, because the number of features in the language is so great nobody uses them all
[21:44:32] <Virindi> it worked for cpp
[21:47:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, if it weren't half a million lines i probably would
[21:48:24] <chromas> wasn't that the premise of cpp though?
[21:49:02] <chromas> any way you can think of to do something, we support it!
[21:49:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> i thought that was perl
[21:49:19] <Virindi> exactly! that's the best way to write a language!!
[21:49:57] * chromas invents regexql.net
[21:50:58] * TheMightyBuzzard watches the internet splode
[21:51:36] <mechanicjay> Even Perl doesn't know a valid regex when it sees it.
[21:51:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> mechanicjay, troof
[21:52:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> rust, however, has bitching down to a science
[21:52:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> it may not tell you where the shit is but it'll damned sure tell you if you miss a bit of punctuation
[21:53:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> and did you know you can stick a comment in an extended regex?
[21:54:14] * mechanicjay shudders
[21:54:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> because it's entirely too much bother to put it out past the ;
[21:55:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> between perl's quirks with backslashes and mysql's, i just swapped a . for the #
[21:57:04] <chromas> It's so you can write whole paragraphs of regex
[22:01:11] <mechanicjay> One can fuck a sheep as well, but I still don't understand why you'd want to.

[22:25:59] <chromas> oh goddammit
