nwc10 good *able6, #moarvm 07:55
timotimo morningable 08:56
MasterDuke inarguable 09:05
jnthn morning o/ 10:07
Fresh snow!
nwc10 \o 10:08
it's just "minus something" here with lots of frost
it seems that snow happens to other people
jnthn I wonder if there's enough on my terrace to make a snowman... 10:09
nwc10 I was about to ask *exactly* that
jnthn ...alas, I've too much work to find out
nwc10 is it the right sort of snow?
jnthn It looks about right
nwc10 (at least, the easier stuff to roll into balls)
jnthn I suspect it's a little too thin still
nine That front should reach us in a few hours. Hope it will bring snow as well and not rain :) 10:17
MasterDuke we have some more snow+rain predicted for next weekend, but i'm not hopeful anything will stick enough to make a snowman 10:24
nwc10 aha, strictly the question should have been "right type of snow?" or "right kind of snow?" -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_wrong_type_of_snow 10:26
I *think* that the "wrong type of snow" for rail infrastructure was also the wrong type for making snowmen (problem was that it was very light and powdery) 10:27
lizmat just rain here :-( 10:34
nine Cool picture: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_wrong_ty...gfield.jpg 10:42
jnthn Hm, I think that class of train ran through the village where I grew up :) 10:44
nine nwc10: if you're really motivated about fixing stuff on Windows, you can download Windows VMs directly from Microsoft: developer.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...-machines/ 11:30
nwc10 No, I'm really not. And I don't think I actually own anything powerful enough to run one 11:31
I'm interested in fixing things on *nix and not messing up Win32 in the process. 11:32
MasterDuke heh. pretty much exactly how i feel. really hoping someone picks up the building-on-windows part of my gmp PR (the code changes of which are still ripe for reviewing...) 11:35
nine Yeah, I can totally sympathise. Except maybe that I have a bit of a more neutral stance on messing up Win32... 11:36
MasterDuke you don't mind messing up win32? 11:38
nine Let's say I'm not terribly upset if some improvement I make breaks something on Win32 and I have a harder time finding the motivation to fix it than with other regressions. But then I understand that we officially support Windows and will try to do the right thing. 11:39
MasterDuke well yeah, that's really not too far off how i feel 11:43
nine snow! 12:02
brrt no snow here yet 14:56
there was some talk about a polar vortex collapse
I will admit to only having the very vaguest idea what that really is 14:57
lizmat having 40+ degrees in summer in Siberia 15:19
having -30 degrees in Spain in winter 15:20
brrt something like that yes 15:25
vrurg lizmat: Siberia is a bad example. They might easily get it up to 40⁰C in summer. It's what might be called 'extreme continental climate'. 15:58
brrt well, not usually up to 40C before recently :-) 16:10
nine Fixing the memory leak when the same buffer is passed to nqp::readfh is extremely simple...unless you want to actually harness the efficiency gain of just writing to the same buffer 19:41
The latter case is just sooo easy to get wrong 19:42
