@GossiTheDog Hmm, head yours on block chopping, it is.

I admire your confidence, though have to say I go along with it. Software written on an undercurrent of emotion never goes well.

@amszmidt Okaaaaayyy... let me have a little peep down that rabbit hole...

@amszmidt And the good alternative to #unix is ...?

@GossiTheDog Let's be honest, the British guy was trying to elicit interest in fund-raising for a marathon run, not gun-raising for a kidnapping son....

@evan No, no, no. There HAD to be an option to keep AI right out of it. YOU are turning into the opposition.

@ksaj @amszmidt @screwtape You've obfuscated it, that's what's wrong.

@GossiTheDog ... says the ship blowing its own rocket motors off its backside.

@evan This is a very mis-directed question. The error message must be written to maximise its utility in resolving the error: assume both developers and end-users are reading it and try to provide as much context as possible.

@yora @tryst @rs_hole @GossiTheDog Don't allow yourself to be side-tracked; it is feet on the ground that EU needs to give Ukraine.

@steter I used to have to count the machine cycles my code would need to run...

@GossiTheDog Your dog has a very disturbing glare.

@futurile Also be aware that an apostrophe ʼ (0x2bc) is different to a closing quote ’ (0x2019).

@evan You are not getting away with that after all the effort we've afforded you. Please tell us your reasoning.

@amszmidt Good. That means there's a chance it will turn out to be not so bad as you expected.

@civodul To be fair, suggesting is a good thing; demanding on the other hand is definitely not.

@janneke @fsf @nlnet Outstanding!

@amszmidt I've seen projects where every single function lives in a file on its own. People who move files to different directories under CVS are Satan personified.

@GossiTheDog Anybody can run a server, but if you are going to get hundreds of thousands of blind followers logging on, and will be promoting the server in other media, it will cost millions. And as someone else says here, if you don't have the spoons to do it yourself, others will charge.

@simonbp @HighlandLawyer @abstractcode @cstross It's funny how all the alternative histories seem like they would be better than the current one.

@evan There is nothing to learn from this; the outcome is a foregone conclusion.
