| 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 |
