| 01:13 | <&McMartin> | ... huh, this pending update is pushing the Linux kernel to 5.0 |
| 01:13 | <&McMartin> | That's potentially exciting |
| 01:36 | < Reiver> | ... what's coming to make it a Big Number? |
| 01:38 | <~Vornicus> | "I’d like to point out (yet again) that we don’t do feature-based releases, and that “5.0” doesn’t mean anything more than that the 4.x numbers started getting big enough that I ran out of fingers and toes." |

| 11:49 | < simon_> | https://i.imgur.com/D78CQQn.png -- someone copy-pasted a diff and forgot to remove a '+', and Perl treated this as prefix plus. |
| 12:05 | <@abudhabi> | What was the effect? |
| 12:54 | <@celmin|away> | Would there be any? I thought prefix + was supposed to be a no-op most of the time (though I don't know much about Perl specifically). |
| 12:57 | < simon_> | yes, no effect. |
| 12:58 | < simon_> | it converts $mapping->snap(...) to a scalar, if it wasn't already, and coerces it to an integer, and throws that integer away. so depending on how $mapping->snap(...) was implemented (whether it was context-aware), it may have made a difference, but in this case it didn't. |
| 12:58 | < simon_> | this is the junk DNA of our codebase. |
| 13:07 | | * Vornicus runs the Prognosticatron, determines he should probably write a thing that does boolean simplification |
| 13:09 | | Kindamoody is now known as Kindamoody|afk |
| 13:29 | <@TheWatcher> | THE PROGNOSTICATRON sounds like something that should have a 1950s-style advert poster. |
| 13:30 | <@TheWatcher> | (What does this device do, anyway?) |
| 13:33 | <~Vornicus> | -- are you familiar with, uh -- so here in the US we have an annual college basketball tournament. Single elimination, no re-seeding. 64 teams enter, one team leaves. It's something of a pastime for people to guess how the tournament will go by picking a winner for each game, before the start of the tournament |
| 13:34 | <@TheWatcher> | Aha |
| 13:34 | <~Vornicus> | I administer a competition of this, for my mother's coworkers. Each game a person guesses the right winner of gives them points |
| 13:34 | <@TheWatcher> | Ah, so that wordpress is you, I through it was... |
| 13:35 | <~Vornicus> | After a certain point, once the numbers become feasible, I fire up THE PROGNOSTICATRON |
| 13:35 | <~Vornicus> | And if you've found that wordpress you see what it does. |
| 13:37 | <~Vornicus> | But I'm tired of manually examining remaining scenarios to see how particular people can win - it's time consuming and error-prone when I do it manually, so it's time I wrote a boolean simplifier to do much of that task for me. |
| 13:54 | <~Vornicus> | ok stop waffling vorn it's time to do this |
| 14:22 | <~Vornicus> | there's probably more efficient ways to get this done but a 5 minute run time is acceptable right now. |
| 15:16 | < simon_> | someone sent a GitHub pull request in my direction for the first time! https://github.com/sshine/dikumud/pull/1 |
| 16:06 | <@TheWatcher> | Huzzah! |

| 18:20 | <&McMartin> | Speaking of those tournaments, and the charts that show how people advance through them |
| 18:21 | <&McMartin> | Yesterday I learned that (a) calling such charts or the matchups they represent "brackets" is apparently an Americanism, and (b) other dialects don't have a direct name for it. |
| 18:21 | <&McMartin> | ("Draw" is offered as the closest thing for that, but that's the process you use or used to build the chart, AIUI) |
