[04:09:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> you pour it in your cup, drink it, and it wakes you up. what's to understand?
[04:09:58] <chromas> It needs compilation and flags and stuff
[04:12:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw, just a little cream if the water's crappy
[04:13:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> though i suppose you could have vm flags on your cup instead of a witty saying

[04:14:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> ugh, i need a smoke and some sleep. maybe not even a smoke.

[13:48:43] <Bytram> it is also case insensitive

[13:50:32] <fyngyrz> The kittens are in the catsle, all is good. :)
[13:50:38] <Bytram> ugh.
[13:50:53] <Bytram> just had a 3-second power outage (give or take)
[13:50:58] <Bytram> UPS ftw
[13:51:22] * Bytram goes looking for blinky clocks
[13:53:48] <fyngyrz> I keep a list of crap that needs to be reset. Saves on neurons.
[13:54:03] <fyngyrz> Big fan of lists. :)

[14:01:17] <Bytram> lists, eh?
[14:01:37] <Bytram> reminds me of an assignment in a programming class.
[14:02:47] <Bytram> Create a doubly-linked circular list where each node was a link to a doubly-linked circular list.
[14:03:11] <Bytram> Oh, and provide a means to add and remove a node from either the central list or one of the node lists
[14:03:36] <Bytram> using a Pascal compiler that was ported to our system from another system
[14:03:49] <Bytram> and which had bugs in the compiler so that valid code could cause the compiler to crash.
[14:05:17] <Bytram> btw, no blinky clocks. Many have battery back-up, but I suspect the others just happened to be on a different leg of the feed so did not notice the drop/sag.
[14:05:20] <Bytram> yays!
[14:05:30] <fyngyrz> yays indeed.
[14:06:01] <Bytram> especially this weekend is when we get to set all the clocks for DST.
[14:06:11] <Bytram> No need to go through that any more than necessary
[14:07:06] <fyngyrz> One of my c library standards is a custom linked-list engine. Keeps me from having to deal with the constant flux of crappy changes that come with commercial / common libraries. I try to do that for just ab9ut everything. Keeps reliability and stability both high.
[14:07:29] <fyngyrz> s/9/o/
[14:07:29] <sedctl> <fyngyrz> One of my c library standards is a custom linked-list engine. Keeps me from having to deal with the constant flux of crappy changes that come with commercial / common libraries. I try to do that for just about everything. Keeps reliability and stability both high.

[14:07:45] <Bytram> nod nod
[14:07:56] <Bytram> there is a LOT to be said for trusted and debugged tools
[14:08:02] <fyngyrz> omg yes
[14:08:10] <fyngyrz> that you have full control over
[14:08:31] <Bytram> The Unix way... small programs that have simple tasks and do them well
[14:08:34] <Bytram> hmm
[14:09:15] <Bytram> Just in my main tools dir, I've got nearly 800 programs
[14:09:27] <fyngyrz> what's the OS?
[14:09:36] <Bytram> win 7 pro x64
[14:10:17] <Bytram> oldest dates back to 1991
[14:10:44] <fyngyrz> this machine is relatively new to me. New OS install as of less than a year ago; I only move in what I need, so this one's relatively unpopulated. My previous dev system (still up and on the LAN) is packed with all manner of stuff.
[14:11:12] <Bytram> I'm sure there is a bunch of cruft in there (stuff I no longer use or that is out of date) but it is also sample, debugged code that I can easily grep and use as a basis for new stuff.
[14:11:42] <Bytram> oh, forgot that there are also over 280 AWK scripts in there, too.
[14:11:53] <fyngyrz> I've only been doing serious work on my SDR software and my DSLR software. Everything else is remote, DB/website maintenance and the like.
[14:11:53] <Bytram> portability++
[14:11:53] <Bender> karma - portability: 1
[14:12:03] <Bytram> nod nod
[14:12:30] <fyngyrz> AWK fan, eh? :)
[14:12:33] <Bytram> expecting a phone call soon; will have to sign off then
[14:12:35] <Bytram> yep!!!!
[14:12:51] <Bytram> #g MKS unix
[14:12:52] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "MKS Toolkit is a software package produced and maintained by PTC Inc. that provides a Unix-like environment for scripting, connectivity and porting Unix and Linux software to both 32- and 64-bit Microsoft Windows systems. It was originally created for MS-DOS, and OS/2 versions were released up to version 4.4. Several ..."

[14:12:52] * fyngyrz dedicated user of midnite commander
[14:13:47] <fyngyrz> So what's the most common use you have for awk?
[14:13:59] <Bytram> good question
[14:14:24] <Bytram> web page scraping, I guess
[14:15:18] <Bytram> automated testing on SN
[14:15:40] <Bytram> and document proofreading assistance
[14:15:50] <fyngyrz> that's an interesting one
[14:15:57] <fyngyrz> common errors?
[14:16:18] <Bytram> oh, and I have 44 different dictionaries
[14:16:30] <Bytram> OCR mistakes
[14:16:33] <fyngyrz> lol - seems like a lot
[14:16:57] <Bytram> some are specialized with, for example, 'naughty' words
[14:17:20] <Bytram> others, when I just need a quick sanity check,it helps to have a small one for just the common words
[14:17:35] <Bytram> other times, I need the full gamut of what could possibly be a word and haul that one out
[14:17:37] <fyngyrz> OS X has that pretty well in hand; same dictionary available pretty much everywhere. Just add things as needed.
[14:18:03] <Bytram> got the majority of mine from www.puzzlers.org
[14:18:09] <fyngyrz> I have lots of specialized vocab in the areas I work in
[14:18:09] <Bytram> don't know if that is still around
[14:18:16] <Bytram> yep
