<philor> yeah
<philor> tried a pave-over install, which wound up insisting that I reboot, something I didn't even remember we knew how to insist on, which got me a working browser saying the shutdown crashes were @js::AtomizeChars<T>

<bz> corruptede startupe cache, you mean
<philor> thou knowest it! -

<gavin> what's the deal with rnewman's punctuation preferences
<gavin> and why is gps making review comments that mentions them
<mconnor> gavin: he takes the English part too far
<rnewman> gavin: mconnor: heh
<rnewman> I just like comments to start with a capital letter, and end with a period, and ideally read like English.
<rnewman> because, y'know, they're English.
<gavin> *Because
<rnewman> :)
<rnewman> makes IRC harder to read, I find
<rnewman> but putting // close db conn
<rnewman> just strikes me as a bad slant for something that'll be read often over the next ten years.
<gavin> I think this is something that you should probably talk to someone about
<rnewman> you mean a therapist? :)
<gavin> whatever would work for you
<rnewman> I'll form a support group. -

<bstrie> #[kick_ass] macro_rules! component_each(...
<Dzmitry> bstrie: you read my mind
<bjz> bstrie: you need a hyphen in that 'kick_ass' - won't compile
<bjz> #[kick-ass]
<bjz> as per Dzmitry's specifications
<bstrie> aha
<bstrie> think we might need to modify the lexer though
<bstrie> or just really hope that nobody overloads subtraction on verbs and body parts
<bjz> hee
<bjz> what is a kick without an ass?
<bstrie> bjz: well you could conceivably kick many things. for example if you wished to teach rust
programming to children, you could use #[kick-fanny] instead
<bjz> now, now
<bjz> I'll make you scrub the logs
bstrie hopes that "fanny" is not secretly a vulgar word in british english
<bjz> HAH
<bjz> poor bstrie
[momentary pause]
<bstrie> oh god -

<Milos> can someone please translate "Expected ')' while parsing supports condition but found '%1$S'." in simple english for me?
<Callek> "Your missing a closing paren"
<Callek> if you wanted actual English I would have used the proper use of "You're" -

<liuche> (rnewman is secretly a squid)
<rnewman> not impossible
* rnewman floats
<liuche> it's how you type so fast!
<rnewman> the many tentacles of doom
<jrconlin> Explains why you spit ink when surprised.
<rnewman> and the beak
<rnewman> wait, that's octopus
<jrconlin> no, that's because you're british.
<rnewman> tip top, eh
* rnewman jets towards tea
* telliott spits ink -

<jorendorff> ehsan: how's that
<jorendorff> where that = the new push
<ehsan> jorendorff: awesome, thanks
<jorendorff> k
<ehsan> jorendorff: you just assigned to |that| ;)
<jorendorff> the scoping rules for "this" are even more confusing in english than they are in js
<ehsan> yeah, the designers of english were a lot less careful with that stuff
<khuey> that's saying something
<ehsan> they let all sorts of ambiguities and stupidness in their language
<dcamp> english was written using luck-driven development techniques
<ehsan> that's why english is so slow to interpret
<khuey> clearly english needs a refactoring
<joe> let's give brendan 2 weeks to design a new language for us to use
