it was someone asking for help with *python* man-in-the-middle script in a Perl channel. |
| BinGOs |
persistently |
| rcsheets |
why can't they figure out we're all about cobol in here? :( |
| BinGOs |
Nah, metallica |
| dngor |
rcsheets: They seem to be skipping the IDENTIFICATION DIVISON. |
| rcsheets |
dngor: kids these days, always skimming |
| pcard |
rcsheets: LOL |
| dngor |
I would give him the cliffs notes to the channel, but I'm from a very flat region. |
| pcard |
rcsheets: I remember someone once coming in to this channel asking how to port a Perl program into Cobol |
| rcsheets |
D: |
| Mimisbrunnr |
bwahahaha |
| Mimisbrunnr |
really? |
| pcard |
yes |
| rcsheets |
that's... that's... horrid |
| rcsheets |
maybe they were off their medication |
| pcard |
heh |
| Mimisbrunnr |
that's like asking to port a GUI to an adding machine |
| BinGOs |
I am so glad all the drugs, alcohol and therapy have managed to destroy all my memories of COBOL |
| rcsheets |
i need to implement a restful web app on my abacus |
| pcard |
Mimisbrunnr: lol |
| Mimisbrunnr |
rcsheets: it could be done - but we will need a lot of booze |
| Mimisbrunnr |
get me drunk enough, I'll program on anything |
| Mimisbrunnr |
including your cat |
| rcsheets |
Mimisbrunnr: can we do the booze part without the cobol/abacus/etc? |
| pcard |
BinGOs: indeed.... I did Cobol way back, and it's not something I care to go back to |
| BinGOs |
Though I do still shudder subconsciously whilst watching BSG |
| pcard |
BinGOs: the original or the newer one? |
| Mimisbrunnr |
rcsheets - deal |
| BinGOs |
Whenever they go on about the Gods of COBOL. |
| Mimisbrunnr |
Ya R’lyeh! COBOL fhtagn! |
| ZadYree |
Huh? what does @array[$arg] mean in p5? |
| pcard |
it's an array slice |
| pcard |
or a slice of pie |
| pcard |
one of those |
| rcsheets |
mmm |
| anno |
a warnable offence |
| rcsheets |
array slice, a la mode |
| pcard |
for pie? |
| pcard |
warn if pie; ? |
| ZadYree |
heh |
| pcard |
oh I see |
| pcard |
warn "Pie's done!" if defined $pie; |
| Mimisbrunnr |
pcard: never warn if pie; rejoice if pie |
| pcard |
ah |
| szr |
say "mmmmm, pie!" |
| rcsheets |
well, warning when it's done could make sense, inasmuch as you don't want to burn it |
| pcard |
rcsheets: yeah, like bell/beeper on an oven |
| rcsheets |
yes |
| rcsheets |
then the rejoice would be triggered when it's cool enough to eat |
| Mimisbrunnr |
sleep until ( $pie eq 'done' ); |
| pcard |
it's still up to the baker to actually turn off the oven and remove the pie |
| Mimisbrunnr |
hrmm, wait no, I would never wake up |
| pcard |
Mimisbrunnr: there you go |
| pcard |
aww |
| pcard |
doh |
