| 00:03 | <&ToxicFrog> | Reiv: yes, that's why I said to check it |
| 00:04 | <@Reiv> | Awesome, thanks |
| 00:04 | <@Reiv> | PM me the url again, so I can put it on the keep beside the books I intend to pilfer? |
| 00:18 | <~Vornicus> | I wish I could still read in stretches |
| 00:18 | <~Vornicus> | Like I'll pick up the most interesting book in the universe and put it down after less than a minute |
| 00:22 | <@Reiv> | I find I manage best with capterised non fiction, and fiction of a very specific weight |
| 00:22 | <@Reiv> | It is a challenge to get that weight quite right. |
| 00:22 | <&ToxicFrog> | capterised? |
| 00:23 | <~Vornicus> | chapterised |
| 00:23 | <@Reiv> | Books on a single subject, but with distinct chapters |
| 00:23 | <@Reiv> | In my case, preferably reasonably small |
| 00:23 | <@Reiv> | I have been enjoying the Genius Of Birds over the break, and it proved educational in solidifying my current tastes |
| 00:23 | <@Reiv> | Each section is twenty to thirty pages, then it moves onto a new topic |
| 00:24 | <@Reiv> | Enough to be interesting, not so much as to be overwhelming or have me get bogged into details |
| 00:24 | <@Reiv> | Though I admit I am now passingly curious about getting my hands on a book about the structure of bird brains, I doubt there'll be one written at a lighweight enough level for me to survive it~ |

| 22:54 | | * McMartin reads the TIOBE Index again for April. |
| 22:54 | <&McMartin> | Assembly stays a lot more relevant than I'd normally expect it to. |
| 22:54 | <&McMartin> | ( https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ ) |
| 22:55 | <&McMartin> | There's a weird and gigantic spike in C's popularity, but looking at the graph it seems like reversion to the mean. |
| 23:04 | <~Vornicus> | there seems to be a lot of those |
| 23:04 | <~Vornicus> | see Python in 2004 for instance |

| 23:25 | <&McMartin> | Yeah |
| 23:25 | <&McMartin> | It's also interesting how it's become "Java, C, and noise" |
| 23:26 | <&McMartin> | With 2016 looking like "Oh my god, all of this shit is such bullshit, I'm going to do something, anything else" |
| 23:26 | <&McMartin> | followed by no consistency in that anything else and then "OK, yeah, these are the problems actually solved by these technologies" |
| 23:26 | <&McMartin> | Java is our Ada. -_- |
| 23:27 | <&McMartin> | ... BBC BASIC is in the top hundred |
