ongoing discussion in work: $persona: "As a future option, we may consider using a machine learning classifier to identify commit messages as good and informative or not" $personB: "in would be really interesting to see what such a classifier would do". I'm now having to resist the urge to reply to them with "try to shut itself down in self-defence"

It'll train students to produce commit messages like "FIX Text Goes Here "~
12:43
<@Tamber>
(...no, literally 'Text goes here' :p)
12:43
<@celmin|away>
Heh
12:44
<@celmin|away>
Just make the classifier require at least three lines for an informative message.

Tamber: no, it'd probably end up with "Complete the above sentence, without final period"
14:23
<@TheWatcher>
Because they'd suddenly start using the commit template I recommend they use -_-
14:23
<@TheWatcher>
# Capitalise the summary line. Do not end it with a period
14:23
<@TheWatcher>
# Use imperative mood, so: If applied, this commit will...
14:24
<@TheWatcher>
Complete the above sentence, without final period

14:39 * Vornicus explodes in a shower of bling
14:41 * TheWatcher squeaks Vornicus
14:42 * Vornicus remains unsqueaked
14:51 * Vornicus gets around to looking at the difference between a thing that succeeds and a thing that fails. First approximation: a horizontal line on the convex hull. Fuuuuck.
14:52
<~Vornicus>
I goddamn hate geometry

< Kizor>
TW: How difficult would it be to fashion a system that instead of a character minimum, required that all entries be made in haiku?
15:32
<@ErikMesoy>
"import haiku_parser"
15:33
< Kizor>
Thanks! :P

Well, this went down the rabbit hole quickly
15:36
< Kizor>
Have a limerick: https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/7a80750af67c5f563b865feadb0698c578b5946a
15:42
<~Vornicus>
Yeah that's a rabbit hole indeed.
15:42
<~Vornicus>
And that limerick is exactly the one I thought it was going to be

It gets worse. Have a haiku. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/%22Haiku%22_by_Witold_Szwedkowski_%282018%29.jpg
15:46
<~Vornicus>
I must quote my wife: "huh?"
15:46
<~Vornicus>
also I am technically polish and cannot pronounce that
15:49
< Kizor>
I'm told it's haptic poetry, 5-7-5.

I suppose

$no = "\from reality"; .

< Kizor>
I want to shake the author's hand and then bite their head off.
16:40
<&ToxicFrog>
The phrase I generally use for that is "I want to shake them warmly by the throat"
17:53
<&McMartin>
That haiku does not appear to have any references to the current season

Also, is AirGuitar on CPAN and if not why not

"If you apply for a mortgage when your job title is emulation ninja then you are in a quandary. If you write that on the mortgage application then you look like a lunatic. If you write “software engineer” then you get in trouble when the mortgage broker calls your employer. You know. Hypothetically."

<&jerith>
My business cards, for the past seven years, have said "Resident Rocket Surgeon".
18:59
<&jerith>
When I fill in Official Forms, I use "Software Engineer". Because bureaucrats tend not to have a sense of humour.
19:00
<&jerith>
My employer will confirm basically any job title that sounds vaguely technical.
19:15 * Mahal chuckles.
19:23
<&McMartin>
Time to go for "CTO"~
19:28
<&jerith>
That's more "management" than "technical".
19:59
<@abudhabi>
My boss entitled me "CIO", where my actual job was postmaster/webmaster.

Bothersome switches puzzle.
21:54
<@ErikMesoy>
Switches 0-9 start in the OFF position. Switch 0 can always be toggled. For higher switches, switch N can only be toggled if switch N-1 is ON and all lower switches are OFF.
21:54
<@ErikMesoy>
Figure out how to turn all switches on.
21:54
<@ErikMesoy>
Ruddy thing feels like a linearised Towers of Hanoi puzzle: every high-level switch I want to toggle involves running through the series of lower switches repeatedly.

<&McMartin>
Definitely a recursively generated solution.
22:40
<&McMartin>
Since no switch has to worry about any switch to its right.

22:42 * McMartin goes on a righteous rampage against the many hundreds of warnings in the product he works on
22:42
<&McMartin>
I've managed to get quite a few modules down to zero warnings today, and I'm pretty sure I didn't silently change its behavior
22:43
<&McMartin>
And I only deployed "#pragma clang diagnostic ignore" once >_>
