4883 < tom_m> interesting approach - most people skip that step then act all
4884 surprised when the next CVE gets published =)
4886 <@ct> All boxes are perfect unless and until exposed to end users.
4887 <@ct> sometimes I want to build a server with an air gap and just let it run
4889 < alh> sungo: Once you work for Comcast, convince them to come down my road
4890 < sungo> alh: no. I'll do the exact opposite.
4891 < alh> You are the worst.
4892 < sungo> alh: PROVE YOU ARE NOT USING NANO ANYMORE AND YOU CAN HAVE TV
4894 Spammers on dadhacker will be killed in a manner which is difficult to
4895 describe, as it involves a ladder, three large farm animals of different
4896 species, a high-output electric generator, fifteen years of National
4897 Geographic back-issues, toasted walnuts and a television tuned to QVC.

4901 <@cms> first i stopped using multiple monitors. then i moved everything
4902 over to the laptop display. next i expect i'll dim the screen

4905 < rindolf> #perl has become so quiet.
4906 * rindolf wants ACTION.
4907 < dminus> rindolf: ask mst a silly question
4910 < sivoais> the bit in the NAME section for the module doesn't help with
4911 understanding the purpose: "JSON::XS for Cpanel"
4912 <@ether> sivoais: it's hard to say "we forked it because the original
4913 author is a cunt" in an ABSTRACT
4915 < joel> ether: that's not reassuring, but I understand that this is a
4916 reaction to MLEHMANN
4917 < joel> it does still seem like an attempt to solve a problem with code
4918 < joel> that would be better solved with a dark room and rubber hoses
4920 * p5commits H.Merijn Brand" pushed to blead ...
4921 <@vincent> eh, what's this double quote doing there
4922 <@mst> WAITING TO POUNCE ON AN UNSUSPECTING SINGLE QUOTE AND EAT IT
4923 <@vincent> is this covered by the civility policy
4925 < TheMesquito> My quit message is not working :(
4926 < mst> real IRCers stay connected 24/7 anyway
4927 < mst> quit messages are a sign of weakness
4929 <@sungo> What you do is you get rid of all the restrictions on HFT but
4930 put them in their own sandbox
4931 <@sungo> they'll iterate into godlike AI and kill us all
4932 <@sungo> it'll be great
4934 < mst> LeoNerd: what could possibly go wrong?
4935 < LeoNerd> mst: Please don't ask me that question without a LIMIT clause
4937 <@mst> what, you think I want to remember how this works?
4938 <@mst> the last time I managed to remember how part of core worked for
4939 more than about 20 minutes at a time, it resulted in Devel::Declare
4940 <@LeoNerd> Yes - we can't let that happen again
4942 <@rjbs> I'm more of an *ideal man*, ladies.
4943 <@mst> rjbs: in that your manhood doesn't actually exist?
4944 <@rjbs> mst: but the shadow of my dick on the cave wall? amazing
4946 <@wright> Speaking of which, I’ll be heading up the introverts BOF this
4947 year. Everybody please meet in your own room starting

4950 <@ether> I've had drugs like that

4953 <@ew73> Monday, the annual anchovy migration apparently swam upriver.
4954 <@ew73> And successfully de-oxygenated the entire river, and the whole
4956 <@ew73> There are.. a lot of seagulls.
4958 < jkg> right, a bunch of local friends all want to set up some kind of shared
4959 hosting environment, and their first pub bikeshedding session is
4960 tonight, so I need to go and shout random colours at them
4963 <@rjbs> our annoying neighbors were using a leaf blower in December
4965 <@chargrill> snow? how does that even work?
4966 <@rjbs> It doesn't. Next question?
4968 < jmac> Prayer wheels that drone IA IA SHUB INTERNET et cetera, yes
4969 < jmac> There's a hack that requires a certain service from timing out
4970 only by a crontask that pings a listener with HE COMES in
4971 enochian script (thank goodness for UTF-8) every five minutes
4973 < sproingie> we have a chaos monkey workalike. it's called ops.
4975 * mst collects mohawk's tears for later use
4976 < mohawk> for suitable voodoo, one assumes
4977 < mst> that or as lube
4978 < Mithaldu> newbies don't slide into volunteering easily
4980 <@ether> hey, cat, you'd stay a lot more hidden if you didn't say "mrr?"
4981 whenever I said your name :)
4982 <@ether> hiding: FAIL
4984 < xan> Now to suck the nougat out of tarballs with
4985 Archive::Libarchive::XS in a most performant manner!
4986 < triddle> does it also get the cream from between oreos?
4987 < xan> That will be supported in a future release.

5000 <@trog> "where in the building are you located" Um ... I have no idea, come
5001 to the second floor and start yelling.
5003 < tm604> decide for yourself, or provide more information on requirements
5004 < huf> and until then, prepare for snark :D
5005 < huf> well, and after.
5007 * triddle invents the grope operator - it randomly invokes methods on
5008 objects until one of them doesn't throw an exception anymore
5009 < triddle> why fight it? this is how programming is done anyway
5011 <@idn> errietta: I can't wait too long, I have 20 mins to get this done :-P
5012 <@idn> Or clj will string me up

5018 < PerlJam> I'm wondering what the thought process was.
5019 < thrig> natural 1 on the Ballmer Peak roll?
5021 <@sungo> if you were to visualize ruby's duck typing, the duck would be
5022 oozing blood from all its orifices, have a black eye and
5023 stubmling around in the gutters
5025 <@gizmomathboy> stupid computers...always doing exactly what you tell them
5026 <@ashley> gizmomathboy: use windows
5028 < Kassandry> Oh yeah! That's right, [David Tennant] married Peter Davison's
5029 daughter. Forgot about that.
5030 < Dorward> "What's the weirdest thing a fan ever gave you?"
5031 < Dorward> "A grandchild"
5033 <@castaway> osfameron: pop quiz, what's HyperCat?
5034 <@aef> It's like Cat, but more so.
5035 <@tomboh> is it the knitted cat?
5036 <@jkg> isn't it a cat in n dimensions where n > 3?
5038 < xan> Ah, yes, a joke! So, I threw a bukkake party this weekend.
5039 < xan> It was a disaster >_<
5041 < Kassandry> I am so so glad I finished swallowing before I saw that.
5043 <@xan> For trog is actually quite lovely.
5044 <@mst> I'm not sure I've ever seen anybody accuse you of that before
5045 <@trog> usually it happens when people see me out side of a drinking setting.
5046 <@trog> which is why it rarely happens.
5048 * ubu considers his lunch options
5050 <@xan> I'll go fetch the blender
5051 <@trog> a modest proposal for lunch.
5053 <%trog> I’ve actualy no problem with coors as a plant.
5054 <%trog> It’s got a zero emmision carbon foot print and it’s the largest I
5055 think self sustained brewery in the country.
5056 <@sungo> pissing into a bottle is a pretty low carbon event, yes
5058 < mohawk> this is wonderful
5059 < mohawk> EUMM's MM_Unix has init_PERL, then init_PERM
5060 < mohawk> there isn't an init_PERN, presumably because of the fear of
5061 ongoing threads-related problems
5063 <@djh> heh. My gf didn't know about the "Ok, google" voice command for her
5064 android phone, and was most annoyed that I demo'd both it and some of
5065 its dangers by saying "ok, google midget porn" within its hearing >:)
5067 "Oh, and to fully implement TAP you need to implement YAML."
5069 "Well, I'll invent a subset of it and you'll have to restrict output to that."
5072 < Simon> every disaster movie has to fulfill its US Landmarks Points Quotient
5074 < Edmund> Kincaid: You remember a couple of years ago when I misplaced a
5075 2 in an equation and thought the universe was exploding?
5077 < DrForr> Always wanted to shoot a mime with a silencer to see what would
5080 < master> Terrible screaming.
5082 < ttkai> jsn - can you toss it back at whoever generated the file and
5083 tell them to generate it correctly?
5084 < jsn> It was generated by me, about 11 years ago.
5086 < frew> leont: augh, why does installing Module::Build take so long?
5088 < leont> Because its tests are dumb
5089 < leont> Well, and the rest of it too
5091 <@rjbs> I've got two smartos hosts of very slightly differing builds, one
5093 <@perigrin> the question now is how badly did you fuck up the one that works
5095 < quicksilver> I am on a train.
5096 < quicksilver> I have just spotted someone, a couple of tables up, using
5098 < quicksilver> enormous temptation to hit random keys on his keyboard
5100 < alh> We can't all be winners :|
5101 <@sungo> clearly, look at stonecolddevin
5102 <%stonecolddevin> i did almost kill myself trying to make espresso yesterday
5104 * cat is feeling a tad rough today.
5105 * hikari sands and polishes cat.
5106 * Kincaid gets the buffer
5108 < ningu> anyway, I think it's a matter of degree. I basically
5109 agree with you. but in some cases programmers are more fungible
5110 than others, in practice.
5111 < mauke> it's a matter of degree. I don't have a degree.
5113 < xan> I have a gag reflex to C++
5115 <perigrin> Backend Engineering ... that's a lot of leg lifts and squats right?
5116 <sungo> more like... stretches
5117 <xan> You wanna BRO OUT AND CRUSH SOME CODE???
5118 * xan crushes a beer can on her forehead
5120 < trog> Yeah I don't know how Mongo is Spelling Double Penetration with a B

5142 <tyler> Bad news: That's probably lies, who knows, it's AWS
5144 <mst> so, sri threw his toys out of the pram and cancelled his MongoDB client
5145 * ether simplifies that expression to "sri threw his toys out of the pram"
5146 * ether simplifies further to "sri"

5318 < LeoNerd> Just read the docs of your favourite OO system of choice

5320 < LeoNerd> I recommend against the second option for beginners

5324 <@kentnl> See, can't even spell cylindes.

5954 A newspaper was sort of like an internet website. It was made of something
5955 called paper and delivered by actual people to your door. People used their
5956 hands to scroll through it. Push notifications and updates took ~24 hours
5957 to reach newspapers. Not much else is known about these ancient artifacts.

6196 <perigrin> I'd feel like I was giving back somethign to scociety.
6198 < bfwg> the downside of laying things out consistently between machines,

6236 < errietta> i can't say i entirely blame them. I wrote a video

6251 < nox> Self-hosted code is when you implement DOM in JS, btw.
6252 < nox> So the JIT can just go YOLO and compile through the code that is
6253 supposed to be native and opaque.
6255 < furrywolf> I'm glad my blinds don't run systemd... they'd be bolted to

6260 < ew73> I just wrote: my @list = new HashMap<String, ()>;

6455 < movedx> I force children to do my typing for me, so mistakes are
6456 corrected with a stick of bamboo filled with concrete.
6458 < huf> why are you all allowed to go outside without a minder?
6459 < huf> ... why am *i*?
6461 < huf> yes but why is sql so fucking weird.
6462 < huf> in general. what the hell is wrong with its face
6463 < anno> it's an attempt to express relational algebra in cobol
6465 < mcmillhj> ah the classic mistake &2>1 versus 2&>1; just consumed all of
6466 the memory on my machine by accident
6467 < Grinnz_> isn't it 2>&1?
6468 < mcmillhj> ... damnit
6470 * ether starts to notice that the main drive is almost full; thinks

6474 < huf> why do blokes at the pub feel like they need to tell me they hate jews?
6475 < preaction> it's not every day someone walks up and tells you how much
6476 they need to get punched
6477 < huf> i'd have to punch like 9 million people if i started...
6479 < TBSliver> Test from android client

6482 < TBSliver|old> perigrin: if you wanna watch, thats up to you heh
6484 < simcop2387> most of this started because i realized perlbrew has the

6493 * mst 's nipples explode with delight

6507 < Exodist> I typed that wrong
6508 < Exodist> when I don't type it wrong it works.
6510 < derp_commander> I've never liked twisted, I think it's too bloated, not
6511 sufficiently modular, and not very UNIX-y
6512 < derp_commander> it's like the systemd of python
6514 <@toddr> Didn't see BvS. 6 yr old.
6515 <@toddr> Probably not going to let him see Suicide Squad either ;)

6531 * neilb makes a note never to let BooK edit his crontab
6533 < mst> mithaldu got confused by my using parsimonious :D
6534 < genehack> parsimonious always seemed like it should be shorter, given
6535 the concept it conveys
6536 < ether> that has verisimillitude
6538 < MadcapJake> lol sorry! not much younger than you but I thought that
6539 plaintext email was completely gone from our world :P
6540 < skids> Go try posting HTML on lkml and see how much of your clothing is

6543 < genehack> the last time i was in Chicago I was made to drink Malort

6553 < huf> i wish i was a little bit taller, i wish i was a ballmer...
6555 < xenu> one of issues i've caught in this app: if we will move to newer
6556 perl, the one with non-deterministic hashes (5.18+ i think?) our
6557 db will get corrupted
6560 < genio> automated emails from Grinnz :)
6561 < Grinnz> automated found-5-authors-whose-cpan-address-doesn't-work so far
6564 < satori> I shouted "Godwin's Law" in the office this week, and got
6565 strange looks from all round when I read BBC news that Ken
6566 Livingston said Hitler was a Zionist. I don't think I was
6567 supposed to be reading BBC news at the time.
6569 < Grinnz_> Today in MySQL doing cancerous things, apparently temporary tables
6570 are replicated by default in two of the three replication modes
6571 < xenu> yeah, you have to prefix temp tables with something like "penis_"
6572 and blacklist "penis_*" somewhere
6574 < xenu> rational fortran is a fortran preprocessor which makes fortran c-like
6575 < xenu> and is exactly what would one expect of semi-parsing 90s stuff
6577 < xenu> oh, and that perl code is preprocessed by m4
6579 <@ct> in theory they could end up nominating someone who didn't even run
6580 <@ct> Paul Ryan, The reanimated corpse of Ronald Reagan, "This stick with a

6584 < XORXOROR> That reminds me I need to whip someone's butt gently to make
6586 < mst> your sysadmin is a submissive?
6587 < XORXOROR> Yes, he likes licking boots.
6589 * triddle updates ImageMagick's facebook security status to it's complicated
6590 < masochist> I think if I took a look I'd explode like a volcano of rage
6591 < sungo> is there a facebook status for "my ass is primed for fucking" ?
6593 < triddle> welp its official, the logic for ImageMagick is optimized to
6594 invoke system() when the user supplies possibly evil shell code
6595 < triddle> if (!evil) { handle_as_if_evil() }
6596 else { handle_as_not_evil() } //winning
6598 < tommy> I think everybody's read the news that the vast majority of

6603 < timotimo> i was going to say "i don't want someone who acts like that
6604 in my perl6 community", but i think insulting mst is a sport
6605 with proud heritage in the greater perl community, so i'll
6608 <@ether> if my interactions with the furry community have taught me
6609 anything, it's that the proper way to deal with a porcupine is
6610 simply to pet their quills in the right direction.
6612 <@Grinnz> oh what fun it is to use version.pm wrong
6613 <@Grinnz> (with a slightly odd cadence)
6614 <@rjbs> how do you use version.pm with an odd cadence?
6615 <@Grinnz> it sort of happens when you can't even

6677 < thrig> CHDM, or the chair-hucking development model, gained traction in
6678 the computing industry in the late 20th century

6691 < Anniepoo> I think you just need to debug it
6692 < Anniepoo> welcome to a long life of groveling through code
6693 < Anniepoo> if you're an undergrad, you're at the start of some 2 million
6696 < Su-Shee> people should use okcupid as id provider.. so that the professional
6697 developer network you just sign up on can display "these java
6698 developers in your region like this practice xyz as well"

6730 < TBSliver> that looks like a java thing for the spring webframework

6733 < mauke> someone implemented a jvm using refcounting
6734 < mauke> the algorithm had to be extended to deal with cycles
6735 < mauke> and that's where PHP got its algorithm
6736 < Grinnz_> the one for deciding which order function parameters go in?
6738 * mst ponders rebranding the mstpan the Comprehensible Perl Archive Network

6792 <@sungo> I was at the apple store this weekend and the rep reported that

6795 support Google's payment system on Nexus phones"

10264 <taw> and we put those pictures in that PR thread knowing full well
10265 that the author responsible for that code was still actively

10286 <kd> today is one of those days where my background in mental health is useful
10287 <kd> it turns out that handling people with serious devops skills is

10294 < LeoNerd> I am British

10301 will say that sheep are generally smarter than the average dev.
10303 < kd> question: why do rutting male goats smell strongly of goat's milk?
10304 < mdk> kd: because goat's semen is indistinguishable from goat's milk.
10305 It's why the cheese is so creamy, crumbly and salty

10341 < markfowler> Once I remember writing a spec for CSV files sent to us

12031 < mst> ... is it still a rule zero violation if somebody else sets you on fire
12032 < erry> mst: don't worry, just keep encouraging me to cook..
12034 < tom_m> so what's savestack 53 when it's self-isolating at home?
12036 < Obormot> When you comment your code, you are helping racists hack and
12037 exploit disadvantaged persons
12038 < Obormot> Clear variable naming is transphobia.
12039 < nshepperd2> many eyes make microaggressions
12041 < mst> ${(rand() > 0.5 ? \$@ : \$!)} = $error; 0;
12042 < tm604> true, I guess you could dualvar a (0, $error) as well

12766 < toddr> I'm sure stupid client not stupid mst
12767 < mst> this time, yes
12768 < mst> always a difficult guess though :D
12769 < cat-xeger> Nah, it's not _stupid_ mst, it's _WTF_ mst?
12771 < Hecate> mst: one more reason to move to Franc ethen
12773 < Hecate> monetary migrations do not solve such isues
12774 < Hecate> *issues fuck shit dick balls
12776 < ether> 2020 is already such a rotten year, why would you make it worse
12777 by bringing schmorp into your life
12779 <@saturn2> do you really want half of your porn to be upside down?
12780 < shawwn_> well yeah
12781 < shawwn_> doesn't everyone?
12783 < xmj> doing math, one tends to become super happy when 1 finally resolves to 1
12784 < xmj> because that means one has made an even number of errors along the way,
12785 that cancel each other out
12787 < LeoNerd> Bah. Today's Freudian typoe is 'cagetory'
12788 < LeoNerd> I was obviously subconsciously thinking about putting Boris in
12791 < mst> hence my still thinking he's been a daft bugger
12792 < LeoNerd> I heard that in my head in a Northern accent ;)
12793 < LeoNerd> Though sadly, your hairstyle prevents my mental picture from
12794 including a flat-cap
12796 < pete> I’m currently at a hospital waiting to see the cardiologist, and
12797 the hospital has a McDonalds
12799 < tenoke> this made me check body pillows and even more of the top
12800 results on google shopping are of nude anime girls than I
12803 < feep> gpt-4: "I'm sorry, I don't know what 'agentic behavior' is. Could
12804 you give me an example in the prompt?"
12805 < feep> and then the world ended...
12807 * ilmari just realised that haiku would mean shark-cow in norwegian
12809 < buZz> daemon: lol did you see, tiktok is doing a pump&dump of dogecoin
12810 < daemon> buZz, gotta love a pump n dump ;)
12811 < mst> "pump n dump" just makes me thing of enema fetishes
12812 < genio> Things not to Google for $1000, Alex.
12814 < daemon> oh god ... I forgot to mark the thing it was executing as chmod +x
12815 * daemon hits head on desk
12817 < mst> kraih: since when has "not supposed to" ever stopped me? :D
12818 < mst> (warranty? what warranty? I already voided that twelve commits ago ...)
12819 < veesh> you can't tell me what to do, it's 2020!
12820 < LeoNerd> void wantarray
12822 < xenu> i don't understand what they're doing and i don't think they do either
12824 < daemon> np and remember get all your friends using POE and spreading
12826 < qwidj> heh..friends..
12827 < thrig> got asyncing feeling about that
12829 * LeoNerd just been on a 4hour zoom chat
12831 * ether hands LeoNerd a bourbon
12834 <@perigrin> I'm not sure if I'm more upset at the pun, or the fact I
12835 didn't get the pun immediately.
12837 < dbohdan> If you make a social network for C programmers, call it "Valgrindr"
12839 < warewolf> parmesan and I have an understanding. It continues to be
12840 delicious, and I continue to eat it.
12842 < Obormot> Apparently understanding where ricotta comes from requires seven
12843 paragraphs about this fucker's adventures on a horse on Italy,
12844 followed by an eighth paragraph apologizing for, and justifying,
12845 the preceding seven
12847 < mst> "nice virgin shit the bed" sounds like a moderately niche porn title
12848 < erry> i mean virgin media, and it's not sexy when they shit the bed, at all
12849 < Hecate> what a virgin move
12850 < Hecate> everyone knows you only shit the bed when Master says so.
12852 < shmem> put your PHP back in its place for all who draw the PHP will die
12853 by the PHP (Matthew 26:52)
12855 <mst> also I definitely want a condition system style debugging experience
12856 <Kassandry> I can see how some programmers might want to just drop in
12857 to see what condition their condition was in.
12858 <mst> and then in production the dude ABENDs
12860 < erry> there has to be a better way :sobs:
12861 < mst> erry: lxd can run containers inside containers, maybe more layers
12862 of docker would help?
12863 < erry> [docker-compose run sob]
12865 <@saturn2> of course people are that dumb
12866 <@saturn2> have you ever met any people?
12868 < mst> quanticle: have you ever watched an emacs user trying to exit vim?
12869 < mst> you might laugh but you know you're gonna feel bad about it later
12870 < quanticle> I *don't* feel bad about it later
12871 < quanticle> To me, it's like a video of a cat falling down
12873 * mst 's brain crosses the streams, generates a mental image of
12874 namespace dressed as a catgirl falling down while trying to exit vim
12876 * namespace kittenpouts
12878 < namespace> Clearly the solution is for them to patch vim so that if you
12879 spam the keyboard at it, a prompt comes up asking if you're
12881 < mst> namespace: vim is a democracy, it treats inputs as voice, not exit
12883 * namespace just opened vi and exited to make sure he remembered how
12885 <@gwern> hm, didn't aella make money camming while solving quadratic
12886 equations? I bet a trans catgirl trying and failing to exit vim
12887 would raise some bucks
12888 <@gwern> as she gets more and more frustrated and nyus harder and harder
12890 < nshepperd2> has anyone done an ai dungeon about trying to exit vim
12892 < RiversHaveWings> eventually you fail so hard at exiting to destroy spacetime
12893 < RiversHaveWings> but it turns out you were in a simulation being run
12894 inside a vim plugin and now you have to exit the
12895 higher level of vim
12897 < mst> I just have 'use MyProject::Class;' that uses lots of Import::Into
12898 < Getty> mst: that is what i will ACTUALLY do
12899 < Getty> EXACTLY that class name ;)
12900 < Getty> I didnt forced you to make Import::Into so that i NOT use it ;-)
12902 <mst> sufficiently encapsulated insanity is indistinguishable from technology
12903 <Uniaika> *from using Perl
12904 <Uniaika> fixed it for you
12907 <@gwern> yes indeed, it's just tricky to get it to reliably tap into its
12908 very impressive style transfer powers
12909 <@gwern> that's the frustrating thing. it's super obvious that it *can*,
12910 but like a cat, it won't
12912 * perigrin mutters as his pxe servers don't appear to be working
12913 <@mst> did you leave milk out for them?
12914 <@perigrin> I thought so
12915 <@perigrin> systemd hides the saucers from me
12917 < ether> or am I forgetting a chanserv thing again..
12918 < BinGOs> there aren't any services on this network currently.
12919 < BinGOs> except mstserv
12920 < ether> usually that suffices, except when he's in the pub
12922 * feep checks his long-term memory ie. logs
12924 < Obormot> Boy, how about that surge in covid cases in Florida, eh
12925 < Obormot> NYC's gonna lose our #1 spot soon, at this rate
12926 < Obormot> It's a race to overtake us, between California and Florida
12927 < Obormot> With Texas putting in a good showing as well
12929 <mst> of the dynamic languages, to me, perl>JS>python>ruby
12930 <erry> i mean syntax wise perl and ruby are very similar
12931 <erry> but then when it comes to the practical stuff ruby is uh....
12932 <erry> yeah nevermind your assessment is fine :D
12934 < buu> Personally I just store all my mutable state inside mst
12935 < buu> Then if I need to change it I just ask him
12936 < Grinnz> you've just described irc.perl.org
12938 < Grinnz> same with mysql (iterating is not a thing)
12939 < mst> mysql_use_result
12941 < mst> \o/ natural 20
12943 < kraih> .pm is limited to eu citizens, which is not a problem for me :)
12946 < kraih> *facepalm*
12948 < nshepperd2> it's great that the easiest way to get access to the world's
12949 most powerful general ai is to sign up for a trpg service
12950 < mst> future, evenly distributed, etc.
12951 < nshepperd2> the future is already here, it just doesn't make any sense
12953 < rsaarelm> I wonder if IRC will go the way of amateur HAM radio, everyone
12954 who's on IRC are people who were on IRC before 2010 and eventually
12955 it'll just be a bunch of septugenarians with dementia symptoms.
12956 < xmj> rsaarelm: the joke is this already happened
12958 < Logos01> Remember; dropped ceilings are corporate's way of saying they don't
12959 *really* mean it when they present you with a locked door.
12961 < simcop2387> don't forget the toilet paper usa co-founder that died
12962 yesterday after going on about it not being real too
12963 <@mst> if they're really toilet paper usa, why do they protest in diapers?
12964 < gordonfish> mst: It really Depends
12966 < ttkp> <greyson> leave me ALONE! I don't FEEL GOOD!
12967 < ttkp> that's why you need these drugs, cat
12969 <ilmari> the cyrillic alphabet is just greek with the serial numbers filed off
12971 <Soltis> god punishes the wicked with wsdl
12973 < tom_m> try { ... } six { nothing to catch } lbw { the try block didn't
12976 < nox> Or I could just have a microwave oven I guess, not like I'm going
12977 to cook a lot if I'm single and my mom is my neighbour lol.
12978 < nox> insert bernie.jpg "I am once again asking you to make me food"
12980 * veesh does not enjoy being on fire
12981 < Grinnz> veesh: was even worse a decade or so ago, when almost all
12982 terminals defaulted to a native encoding instead
12983 * veesh prefers being on fire
12985 < erry> do people really i'd do something that stupid :D
12986 < mst> how sure are you that you want us to answer that?
12987 < erry> fuck you :D
12989 < simcop2387> aha, here we are https://i.imgur.com/wG51k7v.png
12990 < mst> I mean, that's just a java port of BOURNEGOL
12991 < Exodist> every time I see that brace/semicolon style part of me dies.
12992 < Exodist> usually the part that terminates lines.
12994 < nshepperd2> electrons probably deserve to feel pain
12995 < nshepperd2> fuck 'em imo
12996 <@gwern> their fault for being so negative
12998 < Hecate> I'll just have to buy less books
12999 < mst> *fewer books
13000 < Hecate> I will annex your bloody island and make you speak french again
13002 < ether> the only Finnish I know is the phrase "your pants are falling
13003 down", which is not generally very useful
13005 < thrig> or wiregaard, where old ipsec protocols drink mead until ragnarok
13008 < simcop2387> perlbot: give me a password
13009 < perlbot> simcop2387: GQagmXon45
13010 < thrig> I find your lack of Hunter2 disturbing
13012 < ggreer> I was watching a paul harrell video testing various household items
13013 to see if they were decent cover. for his bookshelf example, he had
13014 100% obsolete tech books. I assume he got them for free
13015 < ggreer> turns out that java books are bulletproof
13017 < Betawolf> I guess witches get apprentices to scrub out their cauldrons
13018 < lucidian> Betawolf: the cauldron is cast iron! don't wash it with soap!!
13020 * ether scolds a bear out of the plum tree again
13021 < mst> the fact that you can get a bear to move by scolding it is peak ether
13022 <@ether> I wonder what the neighbours think when I shout "get out of here
13023 bear, we don't serve your kind here"
13025 < vague> There's vegan bacon! (I think?)
13026 < ilmari> eww, facon
13027 < LeoNerd> facon is /the worst/
13028 < LeoNerd> ... Wait, i've just remembered that surströmming exists
13030 <jberger> I look forward to reading these, but I just broke dev :-P
13032 < zgu> i actually put a warning message that says "go home, you're drunk" in
13033 response to a certain type of malformed GPS data in production code a
13034 few years ago that i'm pretty sure the us army is still using
13036 <cat-xeger> (one of the other variations, of cours, is "Why did my pillow
13037 just develop glowing eyes?")
13039 < shawwwn> feep: haw haw you like the D
13042 < quanticle> shawwwn: Yeah, feep is all about the D
13044 < Winterbay> Today I learned: If you find a security hole in PornHub you get
13045 sent a branded T-Shirt with the text "Looking for holes" on it :)
13047 * xmj hyperbolically discounts timeless decisions
13049 < nox> Why is it called revolution and not worker-owned coup
13052 < Mithaldu_> i hate people
13054 < Logos01> Well that's enough to make me stop being an atheist.
13055 < Logos01> Just so I can have someone to blame for it all.
13058 <@gwern> listen, you can't just put on cat ears one day and start meowing
13059 and expect to be taken seriously
13060 < mst> gwern: NYAA!

13077 with that infamous guy called "peer", who resets connections
13079 <@ether> also, in the light of the news that "fecal plumes" are massive
13080 spreaders, I'm wondering if we're going to see a massive

13084 <sobel> w00t my filament is out for delivery today
13085 <sobel> no one here liked my color choices: safety orange, royal blue

13087 <sobel> that's the plan :P
13089 < mdk> "For security Could you log into your account and tell us the last 3
13090 transactions." "No." "Then You will fail the security check" "But my

13094 < genio> *sigh* return unless $data =~ /^\s*(.*)/;
13096 <mst> I work hard to cultivate my team telling me I'm being an idiot
13097 <tom_m> indeed, I tried asking someone to follow me around in slack
13098 muttering "memento mori" in my ear, but they just looked at me
13099 oddly and I haven't seen them since
13101 < Logos01> So ... I think I'm forgetting how to put on shoes.
13103 <Logos01> "This was a moment of joy and contemplation."

13107 < haarg> i have a coworker who uses ` as a delimiter for qw

13109 < haarg> i'm a bit concerned they may be a psychopath
13111 < mokulus> Why is R*ko's b*silisk discussion disallowed?
13112 < Khoth> because it turned out that the eternal torture was people
13115 < feep> "WebAuthn?" "Gesundheit!"
13117 < mst> "nah but I like infohazards" see this is why we set up #lw-fetish
13119 < mst> "that which can be detroyed by the truth should be" does actually
13120 include your erection
13122 < Obormot> Humanity has made many wrong turns
13123 < Obormot> Coming down out of the trees, democracy, abandoning HyperCard
13125 < mst> I mean, it's that sort of film - very good fun but ultimately junk food
13126 < nox> mst: Some people elevate it to worship AFAIK.
13127 < mst> nox: have you met people? they're stupid and have no taste
13128 < nox> mst: Not since 14 years ago when the pandemic started
13130 < mohawk> which was more disappointing? duke nukem forever, or daikatana?
13131 < Khoth> in the sense of working on something from the 90s that should
13132 stay in the 90s, exactly like ndf
13133 < feep> nuke daikatana forever
13135 < simcop2387> i think just using a fdw to do the whole thing makes most sense
13137 <@mst> oh sweet summer cat ...

13140 <@ct> I continue to be baffled at the sheer number of places AWS is

13143 which is a see-n-say stuck on 'The Cow Goes Moo'"

13795 < LeoNerd> Excellent. Now I can implement binary search.
13797 * Neth sighs in american.
13798 < Kincaid> does that involve gunfire?
13800 < simcop2387> oh i see i thought you were saying that assuming things worked
13801 < huf> no, it obviously doesnt, which is why excel does it that way
13803 < sobel> I wonder if Microsoft's "edge" predates Lovense's?
13805 < mknod> the perldoc didn't find anything on "rewind"
13807 < LeoNerd> Wow, weird. That's a bit of stdio that perl doesn't wrap :(
13808 < huf> perl is a bad blockbusters customer
13810 < buu> someone give me a tab supporting perltidy rc file
13811 < xenu> by 'tab' you mean that key that produces 4 spaces?
13812 < LeoNerd> :set sw=4 ;)
13814 < Hecate> yes I'm much more familiar with perineum
13816 < sobel> I don't understand sober people sometimes
13818 < mst> discussion of postgresql, friend says "the auld master of the post"
13819 * mst replies "nor rain nor snow nor glom of nit"
13820 < Kincaid> just don't arsk about:
13823 < spxtr> Why not use systemd?
13824 <@gwern> did you just tell me to go fuck myself?
13826 * perigrin just realizes what the other team did and stares in horror
13827 <perigrin> oh thank god, it's not as bad as I thought
13828 <perigrin> it's just stupid, not horrifyingly stupid
13830 < xiaomiao> lots of performative management :\
13831 < xiaomiao> "we have a roadmap, that's enough - what do you mean *follow*
13832 the roadmap? that's inflexible!"
13833 < xiaomiao> [angry mountain german]
13835 < nox> I will forever have some respect for covid because now way more

13840 00:56 <@simcop2387> i know there are fewer of us than ever, but bigfoot
13841 hunters coming for perl programmers? really?
13844 < xmj> stop being right
13846 < david_> Does anyone else find it ironic that a company named "Johnson
13847 and Johnson" was accused of giving strokes?
13849 < Grinnz> leont: it's gotten so bad, i had an mst thought
13851 < Obormot\Arcturus> gwern: So? What is a wet bar?
13852 < gwern> Obormot\Arcturus: it's a home bar... which has a sink
13853 < mst> if you leave the room and come back, does that make it a rebar?
13854 * feep bars mst from puns
13856 < dbohdan> LDS microdosing (to ward off unclean spirits)
13858 <wodencafe> What the fuck did this guy do? What is a FocusTraversalPolicy? Ugh
13860 < mst> fucking newfangled electrickery
13861 < LeoNerd> Yeah that's a perl 5.12ism
13862 < LeoNerd> I had expected everything would cope nicely by now
13863 < Grinnz> well my brain doesn't yet :P
13865 < gwern> "well, geoff said, it all started when I said californian voters
13866 would approve any idea, no matter how stupid, if it sounded good..."
13868 < ether> I don't want to think about the tooling changes for renaming branches
13869 < Grinnz> ideally, "update minting profile to set the default branch
13870 name, everything else works based on git branch config", in
13871 practice "ohgod everything's made of hardcoded bees"
13873 <@jess> im saying i dont want us to and unfortunately i have the
13874 privilege of deciding a conversation isn't ok to have here
13875 * mst distracts the channel by starting a conversation about politics
13876 <@li> May Suddenly Troll
13878 <+fChanX> Me and my best friend had a massive fight after drinking loads
13880 <+fChanX> So now we call it angrya.

13883 < Obormot\Gaia> FOR WE
13884 < Obormot\Sirius> ARE
13885 < Obormot\Arcturus> MANY
13887 < xmj> I'm German. Gas is metered.
13888 < xmj> You make a Hitler joke in my vicinity, you pay the bloddy gas bill.
13891 < huf> stupid nato vaccines chipped mst and now he's nicer
13892 < huf> soon we'll have to send him on an insensitivity training course
13894 < Altreus> RaiseError => 0 is ErrorsAreAcceptableToMe => 1
13895 < LeoNerd> ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
13896 < Altreus> PHP => 1
13898 < mst> ON DUPLICATE KEY DO INSTEAD CRY AT THE VERBOSITY OF STANDARD SQL
13899 < zgu> mst: i think you mean 'CRY FROM LEFT AND RIGHT EYES AT LANGUAGE
13900 ATTRIBUTE VERBOSITY OF SQL AS SPECIFIED BY STANDARD'
13901 < thrig> pretty sure you need a CROSS JOIN to involve both eyes
13903 < revhippie> i hate our software so much
13905 < buZz> revhippie: start with removing the french files
13908 < velix> Help! My postgresql is drunk!
13910 < Altreus> wtf if I dump a $hashref I get a shitload of warnings and a
13911 completely different error from if I remove the debug statement
13912 < Botje> hashref is cursed.
13914 < qed2> I just learned today that people eat more bananas than monkeys
13915 < qed2> it makes sense, I do not remember when I ate a monkey lately
13917 < mst> o< o< o< o< o< quaaaack
13919 < mst> "Quack Different"
13922 <@jess> unrealircd is blowjobs solanum is the superior solution
13923 <@jess> jk unrealircd is good too, pissnet for life
13924 < mst> petition to rename unreal to omorashircd
13926 < Altreus> Pretty sure it's rude to yell at people for their disorders
13927 < Adura> Unless it's hearing loss.
13929 If played correctly, both video poker and blackjack give you a slight
13930 advantage over the house. But getting a whole table to play blackjack
13931 correctly is like herding cats. Drunk, coked up cats.
13932 - /u/Creme_Bru-Doggs
13934 * gwern whips his head around. so, there *is* a vole under his oven
13935 again! looks a lot smaller than the one a few months ago, so either
13936 it's been on a serious diet or it's a vole new story...
13938 < kwispel> my bread maker asks me to fill in the ending time
13939 < kwispel> my previous dish washer just had a start button
13940 < joepie91> my dishwasher still has a ratchety knob
13941 < pedja> that sonds like something May would call Clarkson
13943 < Zr40> turns out "The watchOS update couldn't be verified because you are not
13944 connected to the internet." really means "caches were purged to make
13945 room to install update and the caches included the update image"

13948 < LeoNerd> VTerm::PROP_CURSORSHAPE_BLOCK => Term::CURSORSHAPE_BLOCK,

13951 < LeoNerd> you wouldn't think the same author wrote both libraries, would you?
13953 < mst> LeoNerd: right, I've figured out how to fatpack .so files :D
13954 < LeoNerd> ... *blink*
13955 < LeoNerd> How... (and bear in mind this is /me/ who is asking)... How in the
13956 everloving-$EXPLETIVES[rand @EXPLETIVES] did you manage that?
13959 <erry> i told my boss off
13960 <erry> cause he opened his slack on his time off
13963 < kiboneu> btw i am a nyc resident now
13964 < mst> kiboneu: I'm so sorry
13965 < Betawolf> please know there is support available for you, it doesn't have
13968 * mst remembers the NYC pedestrian rules:
13969 < mst> green light - all cars are going to try to kill you
13970 < mst> red light - all taxis are going to try to kill you
13971 < kiboneu> it helps wake me up on my way to work
13973 <+blkshp> Anyone had any trouble with [18:58:11] <I_Am_M00t> ban me
13974 <+mst> blkshp: I have a tendency to respond with "I'm not helping you
13975 with your humiliation fetish, go hire a pro-domme already"
13976 * blkshp saves that to an alias.
13978 <erry> the covid study is now asking you to take a pcr test if you feel
13980 <erry> nah, mate, i don't think that's covid
13981 <erry> unless i've had it for 28 years
13983 <@ilmari> today's silly code: `eval { ... } or die @$;`
13985 < LeoNerd> Heh.. some amusing function names in there. SvIV_please_nomg
13986 < LeoNerd> "No magic please, we're British"
13988 < LeoNerd> I'll just go and #define PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT at the top of
13989 Tickit.xs (a ~4.1k line file) and see what breaks. How bad can

14000 < feep> the hacker news discussion resolved amicably!
14002 < feep> I am amazed also
14003 < feep> (please no commenty)
14005 <perigrin> Hahahahaha ... reason for the office move delay ... COO went to
14006 the department of buildings to file the official move paperwork
14007 and the department was locked. Apparently nobody showed up to
14010 < ggreer> I got $100 off my bedframe for leaving a good yelp review
14013 < ggreer> I edited the review to say "I got $100 off for leaving this review"
14015 < Juerd> Just encountered in actual production code: grep 1, @x
14016 < Juerd> Fortunately, @x does indeed only ever contain the number 1.
14018 <+She> I was promised that I was going to be magnetic. I was looking forward
14019 to being inherently hazardous to datacenters. I foresaw a future of
14020 glorious data-terrorism ahead of me. And all I got was a slight fever.
14022 < shawwwn> stop reading my mind
14023 < kuudes> you have to wear more layers of tinfoil
14025 < qed> My mate just deleted his Facebook account
14026 < qed> We will not see his likes again.
14028 The zoo director noticed that one of the elephants was coughing. So he decided
14029 to add vodka to this elephant's bucket of water. The next morning that
14030 elephant was completely healthy, but the other three elephants began to cough.
14031 (Russian joke, precise origin unknown)
14033 <cat-xeger> I, OTOH, recovered from yesterdays migraine in time for last
14036 < xenu> the only purpose of $@ prototype is to cause bugs
14037 < mst> xenu: you mean ... $@ is usually an error?
14038 < mst> I think anybody who's ever used eval already knew that
14041 <+Roey> My girlfriend was infatuated with roofing equipment so I gave her
14042 an ultimatum: it's either me or the equipment.
14043 <+Roey> She chose the ladder.
14045 < mst> AbleBacon: anthropomorphisation of specific code elements is
14046 helpful in order to personally hate them to the level they deserve
14047 <+AbleBacon> ah, well i've definitely referred to gstreamer as a "fucking
14048 bastard" so that makes sense
14050 <jberger> you want an odd type of pain?
14051 <jberger> try to deploy a kubernetes cluster on a bank of servers
14052 reclaimed from a network engineering conference
14053 <mst> ... every part of that sentence was cursed
14055 < Hecate> thing said today in standup meeting
14056 < Hecate> "Alright, enough perl slander, the developers might hear us.
14057 After all, we all have perl installed on our machines."
14059 < quanticle> Good news: our AWACs folks are messaging each other on a
14060 bandwidth-saving text-oriented protocol
14061 < quanticle> Bad news: the bandwidth-saving text-oriented protocol is IRC
14062 < quanticle> Worse news: their IRC client is mIRC
14064 < xiaomiao> that's like Vodafone terminating the 'old' KabelDeutschland
14065 peerings "because we have enough capacity"
14066 < xiaomiao> hint: they didn't
14068 * LeoNerd observes that the expression c/c++ is UB in both C and C++
14070 < thrig> ... production alarm fires as totally different team using a totally
14071 different language write the exact same bug as the old code had ...
14072 < thrig> luckily someone wrote a little perl script to look for this condition
14073 after the first time it happened
14075 < saturn2> if i needed to gaze into my pants i would go in the bathroom
14076 < PapuaHardyNet> if you gaze too long into the void, the void gazes back
14077 < mst> just don't dereference the void
14078 < mst> that's undefined behaviour
14080 <mst> watching other people shag is not my thing at all
14081 <mst> last time I had two female attendees decide to fuck at a house party
14082 <mst> my reaction was "good, they're enjoying themselves" and I went to sleep
14083 <mst> brought them cups of tea in the morning mind, I am an english host ;)
14085 < leitz> I'm not at audrey level, certainly. Not even at "mst after a
14086 heavy drinking weekend with no sleep" level.
14088 <@DrHyde> How's Thursday the 30th for everyone who I like?
14089 <@ilmari> works for me
14090 * mst would check his calendar but is already excluded by both geography
14091 and the phrasing of the question
14093 < Grinnz> what happened to openssl 2?
14094 < LeoNerd> Grinnz: Perhaps it got {Perl,PHP,Scheme} 6'ed?
14096 < Obormot> Man how do I even figure out what type of pillow to search for. I
14097 have no idea what the one I have is or is made of
14098 < Obormot> This is going to end with me going to some obscure phpbb web forum
14099 of hardcore pillow enthusiasts to question them
14102 < feep> we have progressed from compiler errors to SEGFAULTS let's GO
14104 < cousteau> This is an actual error message I got from that program:
14105 "WARNING: vhdl is not supported as a language. Using usenglish"
14107 < feep> I mean, this isn't even C, this is straight llvm ir
14108 < feep> it's still how it rolls tho
14109 < feep> on paper llvm is generic, in practice it's a C backend with a
14112 * daemon looks at code in editor ... hmmm come on energy and focus I
14113 know you will come to me if I stare long enough
14117 < thrig> the road to shell is paved with good indentations
14119 < Rembane> I had so many viking jokes but some dude in a longship stole 'em.
14121 <+AbleBacon> my twins ATTACK each other when they run out of food. like, the
14122 food runs out and it's every cat for itself. it's so pitiful
14123 <+AbleBacon> they've never gone more than a few hours without food in
14124 their bowl but they have like... no memory
14128 < cat-xeger> <-- focus apparently doesn't follow brain
14130 < davidfetter_work> .oO( ALTER GOTO )
14132 < zgu> cpanm is almost but not quite entirely unlike cpan
14134 < Obormot> Why is Programming in ML like Safe Sex?
14135 < Obormot> Because you can't catch any bugs but it's not much fun.
14137 -!- tomaw [tom@libera/staff/tomaw] has joined #perl

14142 <+Sauvin> Trying to decide if this guy is a legitimate loon or just a

14150 < marcus> Would be great if someone could cancel brexit
14151 < LeoNerd> I tried :/

14156 <cat-xeger> what did you do?
14158 < ggreer> If you drive safely for a week, they’ll probably give you FSD
14159 < ggreer> Aggressive acceleration is not one of the factors they use

14167 < rbraun> "ssleay" is a series of 6 letters i haven't seen in a long time
14168 < mst> rbraun: a more inelegant weapon, for a less civilised age
14170 <Kassandry> Ok. Cat barf cleaned up. Cat knocking things down dealt with.
14171 Now I can go get coffee and look this over.

14177 which is number of pockets
14179 < EvanCarroll> this langauge is insane.

14192 < Kassandry> Eh. She's your cat, you adjust to the peeing outside the box.
14193 < erry> talk about thinking outside the box
14194 < Kassandry> Only if it's omorashi and you're a furry...

14205 < thrig> horse meat has 5.03mg of Iron, while Veal has 0.99mg,

14256 < mst> simcop2387: I guess it depends how complex the implementation is
14258 < LeoNerd> It's like when cats catch wasps and try to eat them... people are

14819 < erry> my friend recommended the nitro cold brew

14897 <mst> me: "how sure are you that you want the answer to that question?"
14899 < ilmari> so many faces, so few palms
14901 < zelest> but then again, you also have voice control for everything on a Tesla
14902 < zelest> you can even say "open butthole" to open the charge port :)
14904 <mst> the only indoor only cat I can think of is Darwin and that's cos he

14906 <Kassandry> I need more coffee. I read that as "mental issues"
14907 <mst> I mean, that too.
14909 < pndc> Some of us gain tact and manners in our dotage.

14948 < zelest> the "h" in "system development" stands for happiness

14958 < DrHyde> hours with a zero in them just shouldn't be allowed.
14960 < mst> mostly I refer to en_US as either 'English (rebellious colonial)'

14963 < Berge> "English (favourite language)", "English (favorite language)"

15139 < ilmari> ah, morocco beat spain 3-0 on penalties
15141 < mst> perl lets you do stuff simply and that's Not Wrong

15151 < mst> I hate CDATA so much
15152 < huf> it's really great for incompetent php programmers when they cant

15182 < vms14> you're lucky cause you'll just make more rat juice
15184 < perigrin> and the rats weren't captured, they came willingly ... he rescued
15185 them from toke.c ... they were afraid of gnawing their way out

15320 that you can barely fit a damn log in.
15321 < Kassandry> Or you chop the logs smaller, burn a hotter fire, and be toasty.
15322 < Altreus> I tried chopping them. I broke the patio.
15324 < dbohdan> Let's wait until Friday the 13th and see what simcop2387 posts
15325 before we judge his authenticity
15326 < simcop2387> so you're asking for a bunch of gay porn then?
15327 < dbohdan> Only for verification process
15329 * mst wonders if docker's corporate disclosure statements include as a risk
15330 factor "loss of essential institutional knowledge due to accidentally
15331 forgetting to only ever buy edible crayons for the office"
15333 < perigrin> you gotta take that in the context of when mst does
15335 < perigrin> there isn't enough compiler to make scream for him
15338 < Obormot\Arcturus> Barefoot? Bah, that is for uncivilized savages
15339 < mst> -!- mst is now known as uncivilised_savage
15340 < mst> though of course I still had to correct the spelling - after all, I
15341 might be uncivilised but I wouldn't want to be mistaken for *American*
15343 < tirnanog> which is not what you have in the paste.
15345 * gloin goes off to rearrange the cargo crates on the beach so they
15346 somewhat more resemble an aircraft
15348 < Berge> _Slightly_ worried for a moment there since you mentioned AWS (-:
15349 < depesz> not rds. come on.
15350 < Berge> Would be very out of character for you!
15351 < mst> right, clearly depesz is an aurora fanatic
15353 < mesaoptimizer2> maybe she was a very aggressive lesbian
15354 < CoJaBo> Honestly, that probably describes half our workforce at this
15355 point. She'll fit in.
15357 < xiaomiao> the customer is king? I'll get the guillotine out of storage ...
15359 < average> I was actually thinking of getting a fanny pack myself..
15360 < average> idk what to put in it..
15361 < thrig> boiled makeshift bandages, spare ammo, cattail jelly
15363 < Altreus> not my circus, not my monkeys
15365 < Altreus> I mean apes! Apes!
15367 < LeoNerd> Ohyeah strftime is a right fucker
15368 < LeoNerd> strptime doubly so
15370 < erry> of all companies, uniqlo chose yodel to deliver a 100 quid coat
15371 < erry> are you kidding me
15372 < erry> i'd have more chances of getting that parcel if they just
15373 airdropped in the general direction of london
15375 * GumbyPAN CPAN Upload: LUGS-Events-Parser-0.13 by SCHUBIGER
15377 < LeoNerd> Self-sealing?
15378 < simcop2387> LeoNerd: those are stem bolts not nuts
15380 < LeoNerd> English's approach to commas is much like Perl's approach to
15381 parens on function calls
15382 < LeoNerd> "eh sometimes maybe, if you want"
15383 < mauke> a comma chameleon, if you will
15385 < Zr40> also today: "I have an applies_to table. If the table is empty
15386 then I want it to apply to everything"
15387 < mst> Zr40: surely you should just use a row with a NULL pk for that
15388 < Myon> the evil is strong with mst today
15390 < kraih> serverless is just like CGI, but you have to give Amazon your
15391 credit card instead of using a standard API
15393 < thrig> Cisco also used to have a "fixup SMTP" for some of their switches
15394 < thrig> it would notice "EHLO host.name" and correct it to "HELO host.name"
15395 < simcop2387> oh god why would you do that?
15396 < thrig> security reasons
15398 -!- simcop2387-web has joined #perl
15399 < simcop2387-web> ugh knocking the power loose on your SAS expander
15400 causes all kinds of weird issues and zfs going "holy
15401 fucking shit what did you do, all your disks are dying"
15403 Sales: "Can you come and have a look at this receipt printer please? It's
15404 got smoke coming out of it."
15405 Me: "oh wow okay, did you turn it off?"
15406 Sales: "I didn't want to touch it, it looked angry."
15408 < mauke> cpan = remote code execution as a service
15409 < integral> turing-completeness was a mistake
15410 < thrig> the big bang was a mistake
15411 < El_Che> luckily, we learnt from our errors and now we have npm
15413 < ology> Wow someone already favorited my one day old creating rhythms module.
15414 < Altreus> What a supportive mother!
15416 < revhippie> My last cat was a big proponent of
15417 "catch-and-release(-in-the-living-room)".
15419 <@DrHyde> i want to write ++++current_row++, to increment current_row
15420 twice, give me that value, and then increment it again, without
15421 the compiler deciding that "ooh, exciting unspecified
15422 behaviour, let's sing a song about frogs"
15424 < Penfold> ok. back to figuring out where my FK value went. but first, lunch.
15425 < mst> Penfold: did you check behind the sofa?
15426 * Penfold returns from behind sofa. One cat, a pound coin, two chargers
15427 (plugged in and running under it) and the PSU for the powered recline bit
15429 < erry> i don't smoke
15430 < cat-xeger> You clearly fume :P
15431 < mst> I set fire to cigarettes, erry sets fire to kitchens
15432 < erry> that only happened once!
15434 < simcop2387> my cat watches videos of birds on a cheap tablet.
15436 <Mithaldu> oh wait, i read it as human language, didn't realize it was perl
15438 We were told to wait for some specialist equipment to be sent to facilitate
15439 offloading and delivery. About an hour later the “specialist equipment”
15440 arrived which turned out to be half a dozen hefty blokes loaded into the back
15441 of a pickup truck. -- /u/omikl on /r/talesfromtechsupport
15443 < adiabatic> I just noticed the "AM" in Anechoic Media's logo
15444 < adiabatic> this is like seeing the arrow in the FedEx logo for the
15445 first time, but 10,000x more indie
