To close or not to close that infernal question: whether ’tis gentler on the dingbats to suffer the strings and classes of outrageous coding, or to take arms against a sea of errors and close them forthwith that one might thereby consign it back to the shadow whence it came: it cannot pass.

Unihedro

It's such a lovely day here. Not seen the weather this nice in ages.

I'm going to stay inside and code.

Frank

@Unihedro You should do sports.

bjb568

no

Unihedro

No. Sorry.

Frank

17:13

yes

so fun

tchrist

I suggest revoking his megacephalous username.

Frank

tchrist

@Frank Like bug hunting and fishing for test failures?

Jason C

If you're going to stay inside all day, at least do something more productive than coding. I'm sure there's a lot of good nuclear explosions, train wrecks, and Russian car accident videos just waiting to be watched on YouTube.

Frank

@tchrist Active sports...

@JasonC yeah, those are fun

@ProgramFOX Oh nice! So you got it work?

Infinite Recursion

@bjb568 I still can't believe you didn't know how to spell. Ur inglish iz incridible!!

ProgramFOX

@tchrist It still matched some of the all-caps-but-not-really things, but I liked the lib anyway, so it looked like a good idea to use it.

Infinite Recursion

Please unleash the botling for a while. Tchrist needs to see it :)

tchrist

It’s really much better than the bundled one.

ProgramFOX

17:24

But when pulling, SmokeDetector broke so we'll have to wait for Undo to see what went wrong.

Infinite Recursion

@ProgramFOX :O

ProgramFOX

I'm afraid something went wrong during the import -- Undo got an error during the install, but I got an error too and it still worked, but my error was different so I think the lib doesn't yet work on his server :/

tchrist

@InfiniteRecursion How could he not know how to spell? There’s an instruction manual:

> Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

That one’s in hex, though.

@ProgramFOX I have no python pkg-mgmt fu.

And I will be throwing apples into your face..

tchrist

I live in Colorado.

Jason C

Does Colorado not have apples?

tchrist

No, just that we are used to tripping.

For the record, that’s 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376 chainsaws reducing you to sawdust.

@Frank Ikr. There's a big accident monthly at the intersection in front of my house. Always much stupid involved. It's great fun.

Jan Dvorak

Jason C

My favorite was when this guy ran a red light and t-boned an innocent cab, and these two super bitchy girls got out of the cab, immediately yelled at the (unconscious) cab driver, took some selfies with the accident in the background, and walked away.

Roombatron5000

and then you called the cops/ambulance?

Jason C

Well yeah I called the cops right away and ran down to check on the driver.

terdon

18:24

@JasonC Ouch. A friend saw a similar one. A driver ran a red light in a T intersection and crashed straight into a police car. :)

Jason C

Haha, sad trombone.

Roombatron5000

the thing with horses is they won't run straight into a tree

so maybe it'd be better to give cars horse intelligence instead of human intelligence?

Jason C

Hehe, in college, when I lived in Pittsburgh, I lived on this really long steep hill with a T intersection at the bottom and some trees across the street, and me and my friends used to sit down there with lawn chairs and beer in the winter and watch people fail and slide into the trees. Way better than YouTube.

Got a few smiles but mostly a lot of dirty looks.

Ha, @bjb568 did you get your mail server working? I just looked in my open Eclipse window and I still have this project open that sends you fake emails.

I want to use it one more time before I close it. Maybe I'll DOS your mailbox with huge attachments.

Unihedro

@bjb y no dupes?

bjb568

@JasonC nope

@Unihedro needs more complicated syntax for dup targets

Jason C

How about I make it send you an email every 30 seconds, forever. That way you can tell when you have it working. It's very helpful.
