Lo and behold people!
This is a collection of IRC quotes over the various years.
I will have them mostly from the channel Ruby, or exclusively.
I have quite a bit more, but not all of them are a lot of

I guess the one or other of them may make for a good read - enjoy!

Ox0dea, it is perfectly fine to name a struct memeber abc-123 in
C
ruid: What are you on about?
struct blah { int abc-123; }

i’m looking at rails, it seems to interpolate directly without

but that might be for cross-compatibility across sql connectors

hey guys, is there a possible way to declare programatically
variables
in a block? For example i want to call an argumentless function (def
test) that
it will have the variable ‘bla’ set to ‘hello world’
doesn’t sound like it should be argumentless in the first place
to me sounds like you’re on an evil path
you always see only the evil in me
maybe it’s because it’s all you show from yourself

yeah, the the reason why MRI still has GIL
jsaak: it’s also from 2007
but at least now you can choose rbx or jruby
jsaak: ko1 (1 = one, not lowercase L), you should consider
using a
font which makes those characters distinguishable :-p
huh 2007… that’s almost 10 years
and we still have the gil
