02:18 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Hrorek: hi!

02:19 <ELLIOTTCABLE> omg yes but it's going so badly :D

02:19 <ELLIOTTCABLE> it's so weird that I'm in “IIT.”

02:19 <ELLIOTTCABLE> like, you google that, you get shit on *your* continent

02:19 <ELLIOTTCABLE> apparently my IIT is in the middle of a major rebranding to “Illinois Tech”, probably at least partly to cope with that

02:21 <Hrorek> ELLIOTTCABLE, why badly?

02:23 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Hrorek: lmao I'm laughably terrible at school

02:24 <Hrorek> same I guess

02:24 <Hrorek> failed all 5 of my subjects

02:24 <Hrorek> stupid bipolar

04:29 <jfhbrook> Hrorek, you gonna go back when you're better?

04:30 <Hrorek> jfhbrook, I will have to take 10 exams this semester

04:31 <jfhbrook> I mean, you made it sound like you failed out this semester already? or just a recent series of exams?

04:49 <purr> <joelteon> barack obama is dead?

06:22 <Hrorek> jfhbrook, just exams

09:14 <purr> <substack> dropped a lot of haskell at university

12:02 <purr> <whitequark> what the everloving fuck did just happen to my shell

13:08 <purr> <elliottcable> I'm perfectly safe inside my fish, thankyouverymuch

14:41 <purr> <alynn> because fuck Fedora and fuck Ubuntu slightly less

15:17 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm going overboard on this little project

15:18 <ELLIOTTCABLE> ES6 via Babel, heavy on the generators and async/await, Flow static-type analysis, Mocha and Chai.should (always used expect.js 'cuz global prototypes and IE6 support), chai-as-promised for testing promises

15:18 <ELLIOTTCABLE> like, the disparity from the JavaScript I've *been* writing is breathtaking

15:19 <ELLIOTTCABLE> not necessarily in a good way, lol, pretty neutral so far: the async/await is the only *truly* good thing, everything else is *shrug* “just doing it to keep my skillset up to date” kinda stuff.

15:19 <purr> lolllll

15:19 <ELLIOTTCABLE> -stop purr

15:19 <ELLIOTTCABLE> -stoppurr2016

15:19 <ELLIOTTCABLE> -stop

16:33 <ELLIOTTCABLE> re: machine learning / ‘AI’ / algorithmics,

16:33 <ELLIOTTCABLE> just gonna leave this here without comment.

16:33 <ELLIOTTCABLE> /cc glowcoil :P

16:33 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Wow, that looks remarkably pretty in irccloud

20:58 <ELLIOTTCABLE> fuck, flow is cool.

20:59 <ljharb> nothing like running an entire ocaml server and littering your files with comments in order to get a simple type inference check

21:26 <jaawerth> lol, well, I'll call it simple when you can get the same thing with less ;-)

21:26 <jaawerth> as it is the only alternative I know of is TypeScript

21:52 <thealphanerd> farts

23:00 <ELLIOTTCABLE> fffffuck this is cool

23:01 <ELLIOTTCABLE> ljharb: jaawerth nailed it.

23:01 <ELLIOTTCABLE> ljharb: also, there's absolutely nothing simple about flow-analysis.

23:01 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I mean, unless you've written a bunch of static-analysis tooling that I didn't notice happening, in which case I'll happily bow to your wisdom: maybe you're just a static-analysis god ;)

23:02 <ELLIOTTCABLE> god, testing is so fucking ugly in JavaScript

23:02 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I miss my semantic whitespace so hard rn.

23:02 <ELLIOTTCABLE> so. hard. ;_;

23:02 <ELLIOTTCABLE> ljharb: oh, re: our conversation the other night (was that you?) about coffeescriptish-in-babel

23:03 <ELLIOTTCABLE> did some research into doing my own semantic-whitespace (without-the-rest-of-coffeescript) plugin on top of babel; and unfortunately, the *lexer* is currently closed; but that's changing soon.

23:04 <ELLIOTTCABLE> so, coffeescriptishes are impossible on babel *as of yet*. But as soon as babylon opens up, I'm probably going to dive in and figure out the Minimum Effective Semantic-Whitespace-for-JavaScript and write it as a babel plugin, because it's something I care about pretty strongly.

23:08 <ljharb> ah k

23:09 <ljharb> i look forward to Yet Another Coffeescriptish Nightmare :-p

23:12 <ELLIOTTCABLE> Sorella: you should chat in here more often!

23:12 <ELLIOTTCABLE> ljharb: basically, my goal is to come up with some *strict* syntactic rules that are really, super-cleanly, language-agnostic

23:13 <ELLIOTTCABLE> I'd like the *whitespace decisions* to be as JS-future proof as possible.

23:13 <ljharb> i admire your optimism

23:13 <ELLIOTTCABLE> so that it doesn't die like CS did / need constant re-design or maintenance.
