| 01:34 | <&McMartin> | In fact, I did that back when it was still just a collection on Flickr |

| 03:48 | <@celticminstrel> | Ooooh, Python finally added something resembling switch-case…? |
| 03:55 | <&McMartin> | Indeed |
| 03:55 | <@celticminstrel> | This is amazing. |
| 03:55 | <@celticminstrel> | (Reading PEP-0636) |
| 03:57 | <@celticminstrel> | Only thing I can see that seems to be missing is ranges? |
| 03:58 | <@celticminstrel> | Tho maybe you can use the case…if syntax for that. |
| 03:59 | <@celticminstrel> | Something like: case int(val) if 1 <= val <= 5: |
| 03:59 | <@celticminstrel> | That feels like it should work. |
| 04:00 | <@celticminstrel> | (Side note: Python’s transitive comparison operators are awesome, why don’t more languages do that?) |
| 04:12 | <&McMartin> | Inform 6 does it, IIRC |
| 04:12 | <&McMartin> | I recall once abusing the absolute shit out of C++ and OCaml to make them do it as part of a coding challenge |
| 04:12 | <@celticminstrel> | IIRC I only ever used Inform 7. |
| 04:12 | <&McMartin> | My lazy guess is "it plays merry hell with operator precedence" |
| 04:12 | <&McMartin> | Inform 6 looks like "we have C++ at home" |
| 04:13 | <@celticminstrel> | I may have dipped slightly into 6 for one or two things, don’t remember. |
| 04:16 | <&McMartin> | If you were using it in the early days, it was often necessary to dip into 6 for stuff; it later became far less necessary and eventually almost completely useless (as it got its own, fully I7-based, underlying standard library) |
| 04:16 | <&McMartin> | And the modern Inform actually no longer guarantees that your backend is I6, so. |
| 04:17 | <@celticminstrel> | It probably wasn’t “early days”? Maybe 5-ish years ago? |
| 04:18 | <&McMartin> | Yeah, in that case it would only be necessary to do stuff like mess with the VM display code directly |
| 04:19 | <&McMartin> | Early days is, like, 12 years ago |
| 04:19 | <&McMartin> | maybe 15. |
| 04:19 | <&McMartin> | I had to replace big chunks of the I6 layer in a thing I did in 2006. |
| 04:19 | <@celticminstrel> | I vaguely remember trying to make a whodunnit that randomizes the culprit. Never got very far tho. |
| 04:20 | <&McMartin> | A Pretty Good one of those ended up coming out some years back |
| 04:20 | <@celticminstrel> | Hm? |
| 04:20 | <@celticminstrel> | Exactly how much of my comment does “those” reference back to? |
| 04:21 | <&McMartin> | https://ifdb.org/viewgame?ifid=E71F49CC-5858-45DE-B3A8-0E7F2172ABFE |
| 04:21 | <&McMartin> | whodunnit that randomizes the culprit |
| 04:22 | <@celticminstrel> | Is the time limit turn-based or real-time? |
| 04:22 | <&McMartin> | It's been a long, long time since I've looked at it (I was a beta-tester), but ISTR that it was turn-based but different moves took different amounts of time. |

| 22:07 | <&McMartin> | From the same author: https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-dogs/ |
| 22:07 | <&McMartin> | I have many unkind comments about the genre of articles this is satirizing, but they do not apply to this. |
| 22:09 | <&McMartin> | 4. There is at least one dog out there that is not the best dog. |
| 22:09 | <&McMartin> | - INCORRECT - |
| 22:35 | < Mahal> | I do like the original "falsehoods about names" article tho |
