[12:27:37] * MrPlow smakes Subsentient upside the head with a vegetarian hotdog
[12:35:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> blarg. think ima play me some vidya for a couple hours before i inflict any more C++ upon myself.
[12:45:19] <AndyTheAbsurd> C# is being inflicted upon me.
[12:45:25] <AndyTheAbsurd> I am not enjoying it.

[12:58:25] <Subsentient> AndyTheAbsurd: C# is a pretty language except for a few spots, the problem is how tied it is to the MS ecosystem and the fact it generally runs in a JVM-type thingy
[12:59:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> The problem with *this* C# program is that I'm looking at a method that takes 21 parameters.
[13:00:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> 12 of them are Properties.Settings.Default.something
[13:00:07] <chromas> Those are rookie numbers
[13:00:12] <chromas> Gotta pump those numbers, kid
[13:00:48] <chromas> Isn't that where a struct would come in hand
[13:00:50] <chromas> y?
[13:03:31] <AndyTheAbsurd> sure
[13:03:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> or just passing the entire Properties object to eliminate 11 parameters
[13:04:06] <chromas> That doesn't sound absurd though
[13:04:21] <AndyTheAbsurd> one of the parameters is "processDte"
[13:04:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> which gets copied to "processDate"
[13:04:40] <AndyTheAbsurd> and then "processDte" doesn't ever get used again.
[13:06:08] <chromas> Sounds Enterprisey

[16:02:27] <MrPlow> https://www.britannica.com - "Rankine temperature scale: …Fahrenheit scale is called the Rankine (°R) scale. These scales are related by the equations K = °C + 273.15, °R = °F + 459.67, and °R = 1.8 K. Zero in both the Kelvin and Rankine scales is at absolute zero."

[16:02:52] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: mare see!
[16:03:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> The existence of the Rankine temperature is just one of the many bizarre facts stuck in my brain, many of which only resurface once something related gets mentioned.
[16:09:30] <Bytram> yuppers... is why menu-based GUI systems took over from CLI: It is much easier to *recognize* something than it is to *recall* it.
