when you try and write a snappy little powershell script that helldesk can use to delete users more or less automagically and end up writing a thirty line pain in the ass full of try-catch loops

<&McMartin>
try-catch... loops?
02:25
<&McMartin>
Can you unpack that a little? I don't know from Powershell but that sounds like it's using those terms in ways that don't quite match, say, web server middleware terminology
02:25
< Mahal>
Loop might be the wrong word
02:26
<&McMartin>
I'd at least hope try-catch works the way it does in C#
02:26
<&[R]>
If only there were a well defined way to tell
02:26

02:26
<&McMartin>
Ah. Um, "block" perhaps?
02:27
< Mahal>
That might be better
02:27
<&McMartin>
If you mean "chunks of stuff between braces, treated as a unit", that's "block"
02:27
< Mahal>
Then I mean blocks
02:27
<&[R]>
That second some-command runs the try again? If so, that's a loop
02:28
<&McMartin>
That would be super-weird though and break brace structure.
02:28
<&McMartin>
(As written that does appear to match C#/Java/etc)
02:29
< Mahal>
okay, okay, picky [R]
02:29

changed it :P

I am writing code that writes code. I may have to write code that writes code that writes code.

When I have interwebs on my laptop again, I need to look up a way (if one exists) to turn a module into an AST that I can transform into something else.
18:08
<&jeroud>
Because having a whole module full of things in a giant quote block is annoying.

Heh. "I don't really have a handle on React because its entire lifecycle is newer than literally every project I've worked on."
21:51
< Emmy>
hehehe
21:51
< Emmy>
as in the jscript library?
21:52
<&McMartin>
I don't have any other context for that quote but I must assume so.
21:52
< Emmy>
i myself am working on a piece of software that is at least 19 years old, as far as documented
21:53
<~Vornicus>
Meanwhile I'm over here in the other window writing raw javascript+dom because I know it well enough that doing this without a library is easier.
21:54
< Emmy>
i've finally delivered a successful test with a new piece of code myself
21:55
< Emmy>
about 20-something lines of code, including commentary, and a single fairly manageable piece of sql
21:55
< Emmy>
but the previous version took like 100 rules, and at least 5 nested qrys
21:55
< Emmy>
needless to say, it runs a bit faster now. :P
21:56
<&jeroud>
Nice. :-)
21:58
<&jeroud>
I'm working on some software that my co-conspirator and I started writing a couple of months ago in a new language that neither of us knew at the time.
22:00

whatcha conspiring to do?

22:26

yeah, i unofficially dropped XP support :P
22:26

then again, we still mostly run on access 2007
