mauke: so how does that "translate" into eng |
| merlyn |
"eng"? |
| mauke |
I spe eng goo |
| rindolf |
mauke: I spe eng wel |
| rindolf |
I spe goo eng |
| sts |
just a short question. besides personal preference is there any difference if you use if(! or unless(? |
| rindolf |
sts: no. |
| rindolf |
sts: they do the same thing. |
| Botje |
sts: pfft. Real Men(tm) use unless(!...) |
| rindolf |
Botje: heh. |
| sts |
lol unless(! makes sense. thanks Botje, i'll rather use this one. =D |
| LeoNerd |
For me it's a readability thing - I express what seems more likely |
| rindolf |
Botje: File::HomeDir used to have a triple or quadruple negative in one of its test files. |
| Botje |
unless(! $str !~ /(?!foo)/) |
| rindolf |
Botje: heh |
| merlyn |
whoa |
| merlyn |
unless (!) makes no sense to me at all |
| Botje |
of course not. |
| sts |
Botje: wow! |
| Botje |
it's still cool to confuse people with :] |
| LeoNerd |
Heh.. Should just use !!! in there anywa y:) |
| merlyn |
it's 7 characters too many |
| xand |
some people don't understand double negatives |
| merlyn |
I don't want no complaints! |
| Botje |
xand: you mean don't not understnad? |
| LeoNerd |
We don't know nobody who don't want no double-negatives |
| sts |
Botje: what does (?!foo) do? |
| nanonyme |
lol |
| xand |
Botje: don't not misunderstand |
| mauke |
Botje: that always executes the block |
| merlyn |
there's an argument that can be successfully made that "I don't want no complaints" doesn't necessarily work logically |
| Botje |
xand: oh, I don't not think I didn't not misunderstand you. |
| Botje |
mauke: I know. it just looks cool. |
| mauke |
and you want !($str !~ /.../) |
| xand |
don't you?# |
| merlyn |
so it might actually mean what people think they're meaning |
