[00:39] You probably just copied dirs instead of symlinking all these years [12:34] morning [12:40] morning [12:48] <_stink_> yo [14:48] mmhmm [14:48] I watched the debate last night at a bar in DC. It wasn't as eventful as I expected it to be. [14:48] the being in DC part, that is [14:54] No random Joe Biden jumping on tables? [14:54] Because that's what DC needs [14:54] greg-g: heh [14:54] I don't know how people can watch that stuff [14:54] it made me drink too much, that's for sure [14:55] I made it 5min into debate #2 and was going to start throwing things at my TV [14:55] 90min of that full bore? I'm missing a gene for that stuff [14:55] cmaloney: and yeah, a large portion of people were completely ignoring it, no big reactions in the bar or anything [14:55] heh, they'll work for whoever I guess [14:55] Sharp contrast to when we were at MichiPUG one evening and the debates were on [14:55] (2008 I think?) [14:56] Diane Marsh was all over that [14:57] Decided sitting in a coffee shop and swearing at Javascript was a better use of my time [14:57] lol [14:57] not a bad plan for sure [14:57] Swearing at javascript is always the best use of time. [14:57] fucking javascript! [14:57] Better for the blood pressure [14:58] best thing I've seen all day: use a = void 0; when you want to make sure something is undefined. [14:58] as opposed to a = undefined; [14:58] because somoene might have redefined undefined. [14:58] The last time I heard of someone redefining keywords was in Forth [14:59] and was related to me by a programmer at Ford about a system that someone wrote that he was debugging (and swearing at) [14:59] I don't think you can redefine undefined [15:00] Yeah unless you've got some funky interpreter [15:01] function foo(undefined) { undefined = 5; a = undefined; console.log(undefined); } [15:01] > foo(); [15:01] 5 [15:01] undefined [15:02] But yeah, you have to work a bit to be stupid. [15:03] hmm interesting [15:03] That edge case does not happen enough for me to use a === void 0 8P [15:03] bah, replace the console.log(a) [15:03] but same diff [15:04] again, you have to work at it [15:05] Almost makes me want to put: if (undefined !== void 0) { console.log("Who did this?!?"); }; at the beginning of my code. [15:07] you can't set the global undefined [15:07] right, but if your code is called from inside another function... [15:07] <_stink_> not anymore. [15:07] ^^ [15:07] I think it may work within a function because of the argument thing. [15:07] Guess it depends on your app [15:08] Yeah [15:09] and it's not bad, per se, just another place where I scratch my head at some design decisions [15:09] like NaN [17:40] So did you get work cmaloney? [17:51] not yet [17:51] https://plus.google.com/u/0/+CraigMaloney/posts/77FgMi5GGAD [17:51] What I think I am: Bad-ass developer who makes cool shit. [17:51] What my resume says: I adversely contributed to the world's Excel file problem. [17:55] could be worse, it could say "was part of the team that made windows ME" [17:57] Not sure it's much better. [17:58] you'll have to tell me the story sometime. but hey, as someone who uses libreoffice, please make excel as fucked up as possible so we can get more to switch [17:58] heh [17:58] Was more a metaphor of the gap between where I thought I would be and where I landed [17:59] There's probably a German word that encapsulates that [18:00] WELTSCHMERZ [18:00] TORSCHLUSSPANIK [18:00] God bless the Germans [18:01] gott mit uns :p [18:02] apologees to any germans, had to go for the off color joke
