TimToady: so BASIC was your first language? |
| TimToady |
no, English was my first language. :) |
| rindolf |
TimToady: I started with XT ROM BASIC, but I
suppose it was something like Perl 5 was to Perl 4 for your
BASIC. |
| rindolf |
BASIC has greatly evolved since Dartmouth
BASIC. |
| rindolf |
TimToady: ah. |
| rindolf |
TimToady: not Chomsky's Universal language? |
| TimToady |
feh |
| diakopter |
rindolf: what's the name of the Parrot
implementation of Intercal? |
| Juerd |
21:04 <@TimToady> we have a test suite right
now because of pugs |
| Juerd |
Very, very important. |
| rindolf |
diakopter: I don't know. |
| rindolf |
Juerd: yes, very. |
| rindolf |
Juerd: anyway, I expect that at every given time
all tests will pass. |
| Juerd |
Well, there are probably bad tests too :) |
| Juerd |
Given the volume of the suite, and that pugs has
never been able to even parse everything :0 |
| Juerd |
:) |
| TimToady |
testrot accounts for many of those :) |
| rindolf |
TimToady: testrot... |
| rindolf |
TimToady++ |
| rindolf |
How long does it take Pugs to run the entire Pugs
test suite? |
| TimToady |
but a number of them were misunderstandings at the
time |
| rindolf |
Because Pugs is kinda slow. |
| diakopter |
defudge should be renamed Passover... |
| TimToady |
used to run on my old laptop in about 25
minutes |
| rindolf |
TimToady: or cute bugs. |
| rindolf |
I mean implementation details. |
| rindolf |
TimToady: kinda long. |
| TimToady |
audreyt's dual core used to run them in 10
minutes |
| TimToady |
I haven't tried on my new laptop, since I haven't
installed the lates ghc yet |
| TimToady |
first make it run, then make it run right, then
make it run fast |
| rindolf |
TimToady: another problem with Pugs is that it
kept requiring the latest ghc. |
| Juerd |
Did pugs drive GHC development perhaps? :D |
| TimToady |
shrug, you shouldn't pick on a software project
when it's down |
| TimToady |
Juerd: yes, I believe some of that happened
too |
| rindolf |
TimToady: "After Death - say holy." |
| rindolf |
TimToady: it's a Hebrew phrase. |
| TimToady |
Actually, I'm just about out of After Death--I've
got a bottle of Mega Death now too. |
| TimToady |
just had some on my potatoes, yum. |
| spinclad |
sounds hot |
| TimToady |
of the first six ingredients, five of them are
hot. Red habanero pods, cayenne chilies, white vinegar, natural
pepper flavor, ancho chilies, chipotle chilies, molasses, guava
nectar, fresh ginger, salt, spices. |
| TimToady |
'bout 550,000 scovilles |
| TimToady |
After Death is only about 500k |
| TimToady |
Tabasco is only about 35k |
| spinclad |
tabasco i'm calibrated on -- now i can (only)
imagine |
| TimToady |
so roughly 15 times hotter |
| spinclad |
'add 1/15 drop per 100 potatoes' |
| TimToady |
I generally only use it about one "plop" at a
time |
| TimToady |
unless I really want a large endorphin kick |
| rindolf |
TimToady: LOL. |
| spinclad |
enjoy yr clear sinuses |
| rindolf |

"After Death" |
| rindolf |
Reminds me of that screensaver. |
| rindolf |
"After Hours" |
| vixey |
After Dark |
| vixey |
with the flying toasters? |
| rindolf |
vixey: yes, that's the one. |
| rindolf |
Also had a nice Looney Tunes one. |
| rindolf |
"I now proclaim this computer in the name of
Mars!" |
| rindolf |
(Marvin the Martian)++ |
| vixey |
they were cool |
| rindolf |
I recall something about wine being able to run
Windows screensavers. |
| spinclad |
"where's the kaboom? there was meant to be a
case-shattering kaboom." |
| rindolf |
XScreenSaver is a pre-Autoconf hell from what I
understood. |
