<@ErikMesoy>
today on "WTF is this old code", I have 1a) a Python class containing strings with {0} in them that are supposed to replace this with context-appropriate text, 1b) a classattr string that is to replace the {0} where appropriate 2) subclasses overwriting the classattr string
10:23
<@ErikMesoy>
and the nice replacement happens so that every class uses the proper name when talking about itself at runtime, it's just that I can't find the *actual replacement instruction*
10:23
<@ErikMesoy>
it's like the {0} is just getting replaced with first classattr string by default or something, but that can't be right
10:25
< Vorntastic>
.format is how but
10:25
< Vorntastic>
Paste it?
10:27
<@ErikMesoy>
too large, searching for .format
10:29
<@ErikMesoy>
Aha. The .format() call existed but for reason I had split it out to another module. At least knowing its name helped find it. Thanks.
10:30
<@ErikMesoy>
Now why would I write a series of "self.foo=self.foo" and "self.var=self.var" assignments...
10:52
< Emmy>
i pity the self.foo
10:53
<@ErikMesoy>
aha, it works out to "this object instance.var = class attribute.var"

hrm

< simon_>
I'm testing some code that calls rand(). luckily Perl has Test::MockRandom that can redefine rand() for particular classes.
15:30
< simon_>
unluckily, I don't think these test are sufficient at all. what I should be doing is extract the randomness into a separate method, mock *that* method to always return something specific, rather than rely on how the method currently handles rand() internally.
15:30
< simon_>
in my case, I've got a method that picks a random object from a collection.
15:31
< simon_>
that'd be pretty black-boxy. okay. thanks!
15:36
< simon_>
grr. so this function returns a random element after it's filtered them. so really what I'd love to do is make a quickcheck property that says that that filter condition is true. but we're not doing property-based tests.

<Sitri> killown: what is the issue that's making you want to look into another distro?

<killown> Sitri, archlinux
22:09
<&[R]>
<Sitri> That's not an issue

<killown> ?

I thought pacman was the issue~
22:15
<&[R]>
Nah, turns out he's having display glitches, which aren't fixed with a driver switch
