zarah Consider it noted.
viklund masak: I already telled him... 10:13
masak OIC. 10:14
viklund: notice how irregular verbs, when used in a new sense, often become regular. 'told' -> 'telled'.
also, from baseball, IIRC, 'flew' -> 'flied'. 10:15
viklund masak: or, in swedish: 'spinnade'
masak indeed.
viklund a 10:16
who's a?
hmm
masak I dunno. who's a?
viklund my a's get bold
masak your problem :)
viklund has gotten*
masak no, 'have gotten' 10:17
;)
viklund: I've discovered two devastating bugs just trying to implement basic MediaWiki parsing functionality. 10:18
viklund masak: so i've noted, on your blog 10:24
I don't know if stacking workarounds is a good idea though 10:25
masak viklund: I know. I've got things working now, though.
viklund: it was more a question of my first workaround being a bit too hi-tech. 10:26
I used gather/take, should have used array/push.
viklund ahh 10:29
masak the newly discovered PGE behaviour (which basically disallows usage of strings returned from PGE) is very restrictive, sort of like a look-but-don't-touch visit to the garden of Eden would be. 11:07
you see all these wondroud things, but you're not allowed to use them.
s/oud/ous/ 11:09
or in plain language, it sucks not to be able to use the full potential of the PGE-tied functions. 14:02
OTOH, it's fun to be battling against insurmountable bugs again :) 14:03
viklund ;) 14:50
masak "come, Sancho Panza, let's kill those ferocious giants!" 14:55
practical tip to all November developers: don't use the gather block. yet. 14:57
we could use a test harness in November. I will look at that in earnest tomorrow. 15:00
rakudo: say (1..20).pick(8, :repl).perl 15:02
