| 03:32 | <@Reiv> | thefuck are you doing, herding electrons with tiny whips |
| 03:33 | <&McMartin> | Experimenting with a mid-1980s 16-bit computer, where C is actually reasonable but wasn't yet fully the default. |
| 03:33 | <&McMartin> | But it was inches from being ther. |

| 03:36 | <&McMartin> | And, like, I think this platform is the very first one where making OS calls is actually easier in C than in assembly language. |
| 03:36 | <&McMartin> | This includes both DOS and RISC OS. |
| 03:36 | <&McMartin> | ... I guess not Linux, though tbh there it is a toss-up. |

| 09:09 | <~Vorntastic> | ? |
| 09:10 | <@gnolam> | After diagnosing a problem as a piece of customer software writing locale-dependent decimal separators in the interop files (in violation of the spec for that format, and only for *some* values): "Will you handle this internally, or should I contact your devs?" |
| 09:10 | <@gnolam> | "We'll handle it." |
| 09:10 | <@gnolam> | Guess if they handled it? |
| 09:13 | <@gnolam> | Nyet. |
| 09:15 | <@gnolam> | Came back to me a week later going "uh, can you handle it on the client side?". |
| 09:24 | <@gnolam> | Where me fixing it required me to get in touch with their devs after all, because I needed confirmation on exactly how their software formatted its values (commas are also used to separate values, so the problem would become unsolvable unless I could make certain assumptions). They had never heard of the issue... |
