[11:35 AM] tpg: @dylanh333 [333] I'm starting to see why you like PS
[11:36 AM] dylanh333 [333]: Why's that?
[11:36 AM] tpg: (Writing up a script in powershell so I don't have to mess around with installing python on a server)
[11:36 AM] tpg: It feels like a mashup of bash and python
[11:36 AM] dylanh333 [333]: Yeah, it's good for "living off the land". It's not the most elegant language, but there's certainly a lot you can do with it
[11:37 AM] dylanh333 [333]: I'd say it's more of a mashup between bash, perl, and C# tbh
[11:37 AM] dylanh333 [333]: I don't see anything "pythonic" in it's design
[11:39 AM] tpg: Hmm... yeah, just used "python" to refer to more fully-fledged modern scripting languages
[11:39 AM] dylanh333 [333]: Did I mention you have unfettered access to the .NET runtime as well? Not to mention you can embed C# with Add-Type, which means you can then P/Invoke unmanaged Win32 functions as well
[11:39 AM] dylanh333 [333]: Ugly: yes, but also powerful
[11:41 AM] dylanh333 [333]: But yeah, in a lot of use cases, its purpose in Windows is analogous to Python in Linux
[11:47 AM] coxy: isn't it pythonic? don't you think?
[11:47 AM] dylanh333 [333]: I smell sarcasm
[11:57 AM] Nick: It's like RAID on your out-of-warranty day
[12:01 PM] Nick: It's like outsourcing, when you've just renewed your hardware support contract
[12:29 PM] Nick: It's like ten thousand structured object processing steps when all you need is a regex
[12:38 PM] dylanh333 [333]: I'm failing to see the common theme in these analogies
[12:39 PM] dylanh333 [333]: Other than "bad" or "foolish"
[12:41 PM] bob: @dylanh333 [333] maybe even...ironic?
[12:44 PM] dylanh333 [333]: I don't think there was anything ironic about me saying PowerShell'e syntax wasn't "pythonic" directly in response to it being compared to Python.
By "pythonic", I meant things like not having curly braces and using colons to introduce blocks, having weird for loop syntax, enforcing indentation, etc., rather than being Python.
[12:45 PM] dylanh333 [333]: Who would have thought that PowerShell != Python? /irony
[12:46 PM] bob: woosh
[12:46 PM] Nick: ...it figures. -

< cephei> wow look at your boyband hair
<@Pommers> Look at that time I had hair
<@Pommers> And when I stole a baby
< spartan> I'm not your lawyer, but...
< spartan> the phrasing is "borrowed and misplaced"
<@Pommers> Ty
<@Pommers> That time I "borrowed and then subsequently misplaced" a baby
<@Pommers> Her aunt wasn't happy
* cephei rules Pommers out for babysitter
< tpg> cephei: You had him on the list?
< cephei> haha -

<@Pommers> spartan: ^
<+trs80> that should come with a warning
<+trs80> it's not for the attention of spartan
<+trs80> it is an extreme close-up photo of spartan
<@Pommers> hehehe

<@Pommers> Warning: Spartan
< cephei> we're posting photos of spartan?
<@Pommers> I should start collecting extremely bad close up photos of UCCans
<@Pommers> I've got two of spartan and one of sulix so far
< cephei> https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/14024904861_bf5453d7f8_b.jpg
<@tpg> cephei: That's almost a good photo
<@Pommers> He looks scared
< cephei> hah
Nearly 3 hours pass
< spartan> Pommers: posting pics of me and I go miss it
< spartan> I can't be in vogue and in #ucc at the same time apparently
<@Pommers> New life goal
<@Pommers> Get spartan into vogue
< spartan> Pommers: vogue or Vogue?
< spartan> I daresay the latter is impossible
<@Pommers> Vogue. It's now my vogue-action
<@Pommers> s/act/at/
< spartan> I feel like I've had my position usurped as resident shit-joker
<@Pommers> xD -

<tpg> Oh merde...
<tpg> I just encountered working intellisense
<tpg> (in VC6, running in an XP VM)
<tpg> and I liked it
<coxy|Work> hope my gnu tools don't mind it
<tpg> As a diehard vim user... this feels strange
<coxy|Work> it felt so wrong it felt so right
<Zanchey> don't need a manpage tonight
<coxy|Work> slam dunk -

<+TPG> *if you have a child that is absolutely positioned, or relative
positioned outside the normal bounding box, 'overflow: auto' would
cause the parent to grow quite large
< shmookey> TPG: imagine how confusing that sentence would be to someone
