dalek kudo/Q: d530f01 | jnthn++ | src/Perl6/ (3 files):
Switch quote words over.

A little fiddly as this affected colonpair in name handling. Also had to move shell words over, though this isn't completely done yet, so a few tests fail.
14:41
kudo/Q: 2f83583 | jnthn++ | src/Perl6/ (2 files):
Move shell world handling over.

This unbusts the shell words spectests broken by the previous commit.

dalek kudo/Q: 7226b0a | jnthn++ | src/Perl6/ (2 files):
Switch postcircumfix angles over.

Following STD more closely here seems to get us passing a few TODO'd tests also.
15:35
kudo/Q: 28d4bf1 | jnthn++ | src/Perl6/Actions.pm:
Delete dead code.

whiteknight I don't know if anybody else is living in the path of the hurricane 23:31
people around here are going crazy 23:32
kid51 Well, we went through this in Brooklyn 14 months ago.
Though that time, the rain came on Sat night, which meant that the subways were running again on Monday morning, IIRC 23:33
But the subways are now shut down, so there's no way to get to $job tomorrow.
But two days working from home is going to drive me batty. 23:34
What's "crazy" in the Phila burbs?
benabik Here in upstate, everyone seems calm... Although it currently looks like we'll get a tropical storm on Wed 23:35
kid51 Yes, by the time it gets to Rochester, it will be pretty much spent.
The real problem will be flooding in the Susquehanna and Delaware systems. 23:36
benabik "Tropical Storm" is a bit worse than I've seen since coming up here.
But barring wide-spread power failure, it should be pretty tame.
kid51 benabik: where are you from originally?
benabik The southern tier is a little panicy, but they're still recovering from the last round of floods.
kid51: Northern VA. We'd get a good strong almost-spent hurricane every few years. 23:37
kid51 Yes, in 1972 the aftermath of Hurr. Agnes caused tremendous flooding on the Chemung.
My father, brother and I went down there afterwards to haul damaged furniture out of people's homes. 23:38
And then there's that village in the Catskills that gets wiped out every year!
benabik The Susquehanna overflowed a couple years ago and took out swaths of Binghamton, Owego, and points between. 23:39
kid51: That sounds like a very bad village to live in.
kid51 Yes, the Chemung is a tributary of the Susquehanna.
whiteknight kid51: Just got the news that septa is shut down completely for Monday 23:43
Trick-or-treating is on the verge of being rescheduled 23:44
kid51 Now that's serious!
whiteknight Just about every business has already shut down
kid51 NYC subways and commuter railroads are shutting down now; public schools closed tomorrow. Good chance things will still be shut down Tuesday a.m. 23:45
Now what gets me is this:
They say it takes 8 hours to effect a full shutdown of the subways.
And 6 hours to effect full shutdown of the buses.
But doesn't the bus system get 95% shut down *every single night*? 23:46
Aren't 95% of the NYCTA buses already in their garages every other night?
Why then does it take 6 hours to shut down the bus system? 23:47
The trains I can understand ... they can't sit in the Coney Island yards like they normally would, because it's in "Zone A" 23:48
benabik Maybe they ship them all out of the city?
Maybe the bus drivers union demands they get paid for a full day of work? ;-)
kid51 But they only have to find shelter for the 5% of buses that are normally running late night shifts?
whiteknight tis a conundrum, that 23:50
kid51 In the subways, they probably have to do something before a big storm to secure switches and signals ...
... but that doesn't apply to the buses.
whiteknight The way I figure, people in FL and the carolinas deal with much bigger storms every year. Obviously we're less prepared for hurricane season, but there's still a limit to how bad it can be 23:52
wind is going to bring some trees down, and some parts are going to get flooded because everybody and their mother loves building near water
Coke upstate NY is only very slightly concerned here. no cancellations yet, and I'll be at the office tomorrow. 23:54
