polak | mauke: so how does that "translate" into eng |
merlyn | "eng"? |
mauke | I spe eng goo |
rindolf | mauke: I spe eng wel |
rindolf | I spe goo eng |
sts | just a short question. besides personal preference is there any difference if you use if(! or unless(? |
rindolf | sts: no. |
rindolf | sts: they do the same thing. |
Botje | sts: pfft. Real Men(tm) use unless(!...) |
rindolf | Botje: heh. |
sts | lol unless(! makes sense. thanks Botje, I'll rather use this one. =D |
LeoNerd | For me it's a readability thing - I express what seems more likely |
rindolf | Botje: File::HomeDir used to have a triple or quadruple negative in one of its test files. |
Botje | unless(! $str !~ /(?!foo)/) |
rindolf | Botje: heh |
merlyn | whoa |
merlyn | unless (!) makes no sense to me at all |
Botje | of course not. |
sts | Botje: wow! |
Botje | it's still cool to confuse people with :] |
LeoNerd | Heh.. Should just use !!! in there anyway:) |
merlyn | it's 7 characters too many |
xand | some people don't understand double negatives |
merlyn | I don't want no complaints! |
Botje | xand: you mean don't not understand? |
LeoNerd | We don't know nobody who don't want no double-negatives |
sts | Botje: what does (?!foo) do? |
nanonyme | lol |
xand | Botje: don't not misunderstand |
mauke | Botje: that always executes the block |
merlyn | there's an argument that can be successfully made that "I don't want no complaints" doesn't necessarily work logically |
Botje | xand: oh, I don't not think I didn't not misunderstand you. |
Botje | mauke: I know. it just looks cool. |
mauke | and you want !($str !~ /.../) |
xand | don't you?# |
merlyn | so it might actually mean what people think they're meaning |
