Ellied: the good news, is that unless you're a cloud services company, it seems like you're not in extreme danger? You'll still get hacked/lose data, but it will never touch your hardware, and you probably won't get blamed.
<Ellied>
true
<Ellied>
Good thing I've been extremely itchy about putting data on cloud services for the past few years :D
<Ellied>
the worst I have on google drive is a few presentations from past quarters

!Wpn whitequark

gives whitequark a central combinator
<bofh>
!wpn egg|phone|egg
* Qboid
gives egg|phone|egg an osculating linker
<bofh>
UmbralRaptor: yes, this is basically a snowicane
<UmbralRaptor>
bofh: Eek. Good news here is that we got 1? inch. Currently looking at 267 K (falling to 260 K overnight) and 12 m/s winds.
<UmbralRaptor>
Oh no. I just realized that because my poster is on Friday 2017-01-12, I can procrasrinate on it until the AAS meeting is almost over.

No, autocorrect, cython, not cthonic.

UmbralRaptor: well, just try building principia, that might be more directly useful than poking at cnakes

egg|zzz|egg: well, my sneks do suffer from eggstreme slowness in calculating RVs…
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: clearly you should write a utility in principia to calculate radial velocities
<egg|zzz|egg>
that way you can cite principia in your papers! \o/
<UmbralRaptor>
Uh

<UmbralRaptor>
Eugh, Eclipse.
* UmbralRaptor
hugs vim.
<Ellied>
egg|zzz|egg: I would much prefer that kind of eclipse
<egg|zzz|egg>
eclipse by cats?
<Ellied>
yes
<Ellied>
I couldn't even get Eclipse to run on my toughbook, it just hung whenever I tried to open anything, so I just did the code he demoed in class in vim (and then failed to compile it, rip)
<Ellied>
Java: where float x = 2 + 4.5 assigns 6.5, String x = 5 + "ish" assigns "5ish", and int x = 2 + 4.5 produces a type error.
<UmbralRaptor>
The better kind of eclipse: a cat lying on you, while you lie in a sunbeam.
<UmbralRaptor>
Wait, int x = 2 + 4.5 doesn't result in 6?
* UmbralRaptor
pokes Java with a stick.
<Ellied>
PROF: "so how would you make this string and this int print together on one line?" STUDENT: "oh, just add the int with a + sign after the string inside the print statement." ME [aside to friend]: "there's no way that's gonna work." FRIEND: "oh, it does actually."
<Ellied>
ME: "i'm in hell"
<UmbralRaptor>
…
<UmbralRaptor>
Not something like converting the 5 to a string first? o_O
<Ellied>
nope, it does that completely implicitly
<UmbralRaptor>
But it doesn't implicitly convert floats to ints?
<Ellied>
PROF: "I know you're used to Python, but this isn't like Python, you have to declare all your types explicitly" [2 minutes later: see above]
<Ellied>
nope.
<Ellied>
int -> float -> str works, but apparently not in reverse.
<UmbralRaptor>
Python will yell at you if you try print(5+"potato")
<egg|zzz|egg>
Ellied: in C# string + object does tostring on the latter too (but float casts to int C-style iirc)
<egg|zzz|egg>
!csharp "cat"+5
<Qboid>
cat5
<Ellied>
what's even the point of implicit type coercion
<egg|zzz|egg>
I mean float casts implicitly in C#
<Ellied>
!csharp int x = "5" + 5; x
<Qboid>
(1,10): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type `string' to `int'
<egg|zzz|egg>
yeah it's just tostring
<UmbralRaptor>
Convenience in some cases.
<egg|zzz|egg>
(which is something that object has, so applies to everything)
<egg|zzz|egg>
!csharp "cat" + new System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, int>()
<egg|zzz|egg>
!csharp class Dog { public override string ToString() { return "cat"; } }
<egg|zzz|egg>
!csharp "" + new Dog()
<Qboid>
cat
<egg|zzz|egg>
Ellied: see also the /topic.
<egg|zzz|egg>
!csharp string x = 5
<Qboid>
(1,13): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type `int' to `string'
<egg|zzz|egg>
Ellied: note that this is not implicit conversion ^
<egg|zzz|egg>
Ellied: this is just the string concatenation operator that turns things to string (that tends to be useful when you want to write logs/error messages/whatever)
<egg|zzz|egg>
Ellied: no idea what it is in java, but maybe it's something similar?
<egg|zzz|egg>
yeah, seems it's the same
<egg|zzz|egg>
absl::StrCat also does number-to-string conversions; it has the advantage of not being called + though
