mst | the problem is Ovid tends to compose dozens of roles into classes for no reason I've ever been able to work out |
popl | maybe he's just being complete? |
mst | no |
mst | otherwise I wouldn't be criticising it |
popl | ok |
mst | he's fallen into what I refer to as the PantheonObject anti-pattern |
mst | i.e. breaking a GodObject up into a dozen roles |
popl | haha |
popl | mst: when are you writing your book? :P |
Su-Shee | if a god object is broken into a dozen roles, surely they're disciple roles... |
popl | Su-Shee++ |
popl | Su-Shee: I think you just caused a rift in the Church. |
Altreus | if you instantiate a God object what happens to the rest of society |
Su-Shee | Altreus: well Luther and Calvin start refactoring... |
anno | Luther and Hobbes |
popl | hurr |
popl | sometimes we are so esoteric it is actually painful :P |
Su-Shee | well ok, first Henry VIII publishes a mean spirited book about design pattern and splits from the one true Object. |
Su-Shee | then Calvin and Luther start refactoring. |
thrig | popl: it's no Voynich manuscript |
LWA | well, then the refactoring was done by wycliff, luther, calvin, zwingli? |
Su-Shee | LWA: damn, forgot zwingli. |
mauke | sounds Chinese |
uri_ | mst: i will leave the bloviating to you! :) |
popl | Henry VIII's patterns all involved removing encapsulation |
anno | and hus. you need hus |
popl | thrig: nothing ever is |
Su-Shee | popl: mostly, he removed wives ;) |
huf | unless you're vegetarian, in which case you don't have much use for hus |
Su-Shee | you're confusing it with jus. ;) |
popl | LWA: wyclef? |
mst | zwingli sounds like it should be what the third non-alpha character on a variable should be |
mst | $ # sigil |
mst | $^ # twigil |
mst | $^? # zwingli |
Su-Shee | mst: sigil, twigil, zwingil. |
LWA | popl: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wycliffe |
huf | no not -il |
huf | -li |
popl | LWA: yeah I know :) |
huf | too few words end in -li :) |
popl | LWA: Bad joke. :( |
Su-Shee | huf: IN YOUR LANGUAGE MAYBE |
popl | LWA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyclef_Jean |
mauke | chili |
huf | Su-Shee: i meant in English |
Su-Shee | huf: what the Dutch have with their -je, the Swiss have with -li |
huf | Su-Shee: _i_ say google as gugli :) |
Su-Shee | huf: English schmenglish(li) |
popl | huf: weirdo |
mauke | huf: that's adorabli |
popl | mauke++ |
huf | maukele :) |
popl | maukelele? |
LWA | mauke: this is silli |
huf | everyone gets mangled. |
dispersed | silli is a fish |
Su-Shee | huf: we've decided last year in the office to pronounce "Kindle" swabian-german. it sounds so much better. |
huf | oh yeah, kindle is definitely kindli |
Su-Shee | hufli, maukli, popli. |
popl | \o/ |
huf | huffancs is more common |
dispersed | peril! |
dispersed | ... oops |
dispersed | perli i meant |
mauke | perl -li |
anno | 230 matches for /li$/ |
dispersed | i have noticed that saying a piece of software is a "4000 line perl script" with the perl sounding like 'peril' is a really convincing argument |
Su-Shee | send a pingli, vasily! |
Su-Shee | gentli. |
popl | gentlefolk, surely |
dispersed | sureli |
Su-Shee | popl: gentlifolk. |
popl | dispersed: Don't call me Shirley |
Su-Shee | great now I have Swiss German in my head. |
popl | Su-Shee: is that a cheese? |
Su-Shee | and god do I wish anybody would understand Asterix puns because.. man Asterix in Switzerland is just amazing. |
dispersed | u_n o_o ... smili |
popl | I heard in Switzerland that all the clocks are made from chocolate. |
popl | *heard that |
hoverboard | wut |
Altreus | clockolate |
popl | and the streets are made of cheese |
hoverboard | lol @ grossly misinformed |
anno | from cuckoos |
Su-Shee | popl: common misunderstanding. because all Swiss cheese are round, they made all clocks round too. the chocolate is actually a rebellious reaction to that because it's rectangular. |
popl | and there are no cats in Switzerland |
hoverboard | they just don't survive there? |
Su-Shee | also, the Swiss get very cranky when they don't get chocolate on time. that's why the Swiss metro/trains etc are so famously punctual. |
popl | cats don't eat cheese |
Su-Shee | of course they do. |
anno | they bait their breath with cheese |
Su-Shee | I should get a job teaching foreign cultures. |
popl | well, maybe you're right |
anno | to catch mice |
popl | by transitivity |
popl | mice eat cheese, cats eat mice, ergo cats eat cheese |
Su-Shee | my cat ate cheese. |
popl | Su-Shee: your cat likes to cut out the middle-mouse |
