| Khisanth | what now? |
| Juerd | Ignore? |
| action | dazjorz searches for the "english only" rule |
| dazjorz | searches for the "english only" rule |
| merlyn | although v6 created pwb which created system 3 which created system V |
| Juerd | Is there an English only rule? That'd be bad! |
| merlyn | which becamse POSIX |
| Juerd | Ik zou uit protest meteen andere talen gaan spreken :) |
| merlyn | but POSIX converged with V7-derived systems No Perl! Just English! |
| dazjorz | ah, KD-Misafir364 already left. my $language = "perl"; ask("merlyn", "mood"); |
| Juerd | print $merlyn->mood |
| merlyn | ... However, the transition in Ubuntu to making dash /bin/sh has broken numerous shell scripts that relied upon bash-specific functionality, also known as bashisms. good for them though |
| Juerd | Fewer strings, more variables, functions and constants. |
| merlyn | if it's /bin/sh, it should not be bash. :) |
| dazjorz | fork while fork; or rather fork while fork || 1; |
| Juerd | dazjorz: fork off and die |
| merlyn | print $merlyn->is_ankle_sore; # "yes" |
| dazjorz | deparse: fork while fork || 1 |
| buubot | fork while (fork or 1); |
| unop | it's not just ubuntu that's changed /bin/sh .. i believe debian does it to .. and it points to dash (not even bash) |
| Juerd | dazjorz: fork while 1 is equally effective, and shorter. |
| merlyn | $merlyn->can_go_to_tj("no") while $merlyn->is_ankle_sore; |
| dazjorz | Juerd: I think fork while fork || 1 looks more advanced. :) |
| rindolf | merlyn: that should be: |
| Juerd | What is tj? |
| merlyn | google for "adelita bar" "tijuana", but only if you're not at work. :) |
| rindolf | $merlyn->can_go({place => "tj", verdict => 0}) while $merlyn->ankle->is_sort(); |
| dazjorz | $merlyn->can_go_to_tj(1) until $merlyn->healthy(); er 0 |
| Juerd | merlyn: Ah, I knew I asked this before :) |
| e1f | doesn't "fork while fork" fillup faster than "while 1" |
| merlyn | is_sort ? :) I have a sorted ankle? |
| rindolf | merlyn: is_sore. |
