04:47 <audy> jfhbrook: you can't even turn it off :<

04:49 <pikajude> software...it's just terrible

04:50 <audy> I tried to write a software once so I know why it's all terrible

04:51 <pikajude> are you ec in disguise?

04:51 <pikajude> "a <mass noun>" is the ec

04:51 <audy> is that where I got it from?

04:51 <pikajude> i hope not

04:51 <pikajude> wait

04:51 <pikajude> i hope so

06:25 <ec> Elphaba: wut

06:26 <ec> audy: probably

06:27 <ec> my favourite and the one I'm most known for is calling myself a smart, sarcastically

06:27 <ljharb> ec: aren't you american?

06:27 <ec> ljharb: yes

06:27 <ljharb> favorite isn't spelled with a "u" :-p

06:28 <ec> British spelling is superior

06:28 <ec> As are S.I. units

06:28 <ec> also, neither British *nor* American English gets several words right

06:28 <ec> for instance, the singular of "potatoes" is "potatoe";

06:29 <ec> no dictionary will inform you of this vital fact; this is why all dictionaries are useless trash

06:29 <ec> and refridgerator has a "d", for "duhhhh"

06:29 <ec> this is not even slightly a joke, to be clear — you can grep the logs, and you'll find I've been very reliable with my spelling for a decade and more.

06:30 <ec> meanwhile American English is the only one that gets the z/s thing right.

06:30 <ec> “categorisation” is not a fucking word, for instance.

06:31 <ec> fucking en-GB-oxendict

06:32 <ec> which I've always thought to sound like “oxen dick”

06:32 <ec> A forest, composed of many trees, is pronounced as the superlative of “far” would be, short a T

06:32 <ec> Far, far-er, far-est

06:34 <ljharb> lolwut

06:34 <ljharb> british spelling is only superior in one category, that of using two "L"s in "cancelled" and "cancellation" and "cancelling" etc.

06:34 <ljharb> and yes, the z is far better than the s

06:35 <ljharb> also what? "forest" is "four-est". it's the most 4.

06:35 <ljharb> all at once i've learned a great deal of disturbing things about you

06:36 <ec> in the farest we store items of the potatoe categorization in the refridgerator.

06:36 <ec> just *say* it there's *clearly a d*

06:37 <ec> I'm trying to remember what the other noticeable aspects of my English are

06:37 <ec> idk ask my exes

19:25 <pikajude> I need an assistant that handles all my calls

20:34 <pikajude> "These days, almost every C++ compiler uses the Itanium C++ ABI’s name mangling rules. The notable exception is MSVC, which uses a completely different format."

20:34 <pikajude> can't believe it

20:34 <pikajude> LOL

20:34 <jfhbrook> sounds about right

21:07 <pikajude> one of my favorite phenomena: -webkit-user-select: none on elements that don't need it

21:21 <audy> anyone use aws batch?

21:25 <jfhbrook> dunno it

22:16 <pikajude> new job 🙏
