isn't there any C library function that creates a temp file in /tmp
<
pikajude>
tempnam and tmpnam do it but they're deprecated
<
pikajude>
mkstemp doesn't do it
<
pikajude>
and i'm not going to hard code /tmp
<
pikajude>
that's horseshit
<
ja>
I would imagine there would be, pikajude
<
ja>
pikajude: I need your help
<
pikajude>
ja: nice
<
pikajude>
what's up
<
ja>
You're American, right?
<
ja>
English as first language, at least?
<
ja>
Do people actually say “cellphone plan”?
<
ja>
And “internet plan”? “Hosting plan”?
<
ja>
Plan? Do they say that? Really?
<
ja>
What else do they say? When discussing their type of subscription
<
ja>
pikajude: You're my only hope
<
pikajude>
plan, yeah
<
pikajude>
that's pretty common
<
pikajude>
subscription is long to both say and type
<
ja>
and subscription doesn't really infer that you're talking about type and not an instance of a subscription
<
ja>
thanks, pikajude
<
ja>
there's not another word for it than “plan”?
<
ja>
that you can think of
<
ja>
it's alright if it's long or weird or not commonly used
<
ja>
as long as it's accurate
<
ja>
I'm designing models of doom
<
pikajude>
there's also just
<
pikajude>
"i have cable"
<
pikajude>
"i have internet"
<
pikajude>
"i have comcast"
<
ja>
I'll go with HostingPlan, InternetPlan, and TelephonyPlan then, I guess
<
ja>
however odd that looks or sounds
<
ja>
better than HostingSubscriptionProduct or HostingSubscriptionType, I guess
<
pikajude>
sure thing
<
ja>
english needs better words, pikajude
<
ja>
there should be something like `self.class.` built into english
<
pikajude>
self.class
<
pikajude>
what is that for
<
pikajude>
are you doing ruby
<
ja>
so you could say some weird sound and it would be obvious that you're talking about types of things, not instances of things
<
ja>
rails business bullshit
<
ja>
if I never have to write a PDF invoice generator again I'll be very glad…
<
ja>
oh, you've tried that too? ʘ‿ʘ
* ja
should have bought more food
<
ja>
pikajude: you call it “signing up” for a plan, right? just triple-checking
<
ja>
I mean that's the most reasonable thing to say, no?
