Well if he wants it back, he can damn well ask for it in person, rather than sending his lackeys (and/or minions) to do his dirtywork for him!
I have lackeys and/or minions? Someone needs to tell me these things.

A call my co-worker actually had:
picks up the phone
Hey, when I use this thing... how do I?
It sounds a bit more broken in English but it's not much better in original form.
- He had no idea who's calling
- What thing? It was a regular IT support job, not specific software support
- How do you... what?
- Who are you anyway?

I hate myself apparently, because I decided that I wanted to see if I can learn to read C++ mangled names fluently. So I'm making flashcards? I'm not sure if this is the way to go about it. We'll see. Not sure how long this phase will last. :-)

It's not up to me to tell you how to spend your spare time, but is this of any use?

I use that on occasion; it's also possible to pipe stuff to
c++filt
and it'll demangle things. There's also an API for it in your libstdc++ if you're on Linux.My desires are born partly out of practical reasons in that it seems like looking at mangled names is something I do a fair bit (sometimes it's out of "laziness"), partly because I want to see if I can, and partly because it's a skill that would amuse me if I had it.

FWIW, every compiler I'm familiar with has a fairly straightforward mangling scheme, I would expect you should be able to get the basics down in a week or so...

Status: Not having to take a bus to work is apparently a great timesaver. It is now 07:35, I'm already at the office and have my coffee.
I can now waste 30 minutes sipping coffee and doing nothing else without the slightest hint of guilt.

Right; my plan is to tackle the "Itanium" ABI, which, despite the name, I think is used most places other than Windows. (Including, for example, x86, x64, and ARM Linux.)
Edit: wow, this is fun:
Expressions must be mangled in several contexts. When mangling the name of a specialized template, non-type template arguments are mangled as an expression; these expressions are typically very simple. However, when mangling the signature of a function template, any instantiation-dependent expressions (e.g. in an array bound, decltype type, or template argument) must be mangled in order to properly distinguish templates that are different under the ODR and that can legally be differentiated by substitution failures. Therefore, nearly the entire expression grammar of C++ is subject to mangling, with only a few exceptions (like lambdas) that are explicitly disallowed in function signatures.
... For example, if J is the third template parameter, "B<(J+1)/2>" becomes "1BIXdvplT1_Li1ELi2EEE"

Status: waiting until next Tuesday to put a small, simple, low-risk bit of work that's been pushed back several times already but was finally finished and tested and ready to go Live yesterday, Live.
The change ticket police decree that, contrary to what everyone who actually knows anything about it thinks, it's not low-risk. This means it needs a non-standard ticket and we raised a standard one.
It can't be changed, has to be scrapped and re-raised, with a seven day lead time. And naturally, no-one approves or denies a ticket (that's scheduled for first thing in the morning) until an hour before COP the day before.

Status: A bug that was classified "low priority" is now preventing me to implement a feature that's "high priority".
Well... I guess it's a way to get some bugfixes in!

Status: Wondering if anyone else have reflected upon the similarity of the hamburger menu and the number 15 written in Mayan numerals?
For some reason, this counting system has also been used by the dhobi wallahs in Chennai. My parents still have some old sheets and towels marked with the number 11 from the time they lived there in the early 1970's.

It's the number of ways in which hamburger menus annoy me exactly!
All hail the Mayan prophets!

The Maya numeral system is a vigesimal (base-twenty) positional numeral system
Did they count on their toes as well?

There's a method using your knuckles that allows you to count to 60 on just your hands IIRC, so it's not beyond belief ;)

/me now wonders if it is a coincidence that discourse came into existense at about the same time that the mayan calendar ended...

I am currently teaching my kids to count to 1024 using their fingers...
So far, they break up when they show me their "four".
-
You know, if we had six fingers on each hand instead of five, a lot more cultures would count in base 12. And then we wouldn't have all the metric vs imperial arguments, because we'd have one base that was easy to multiply and easy to divide.
Filed under: God really missed a trick there
-
Inefficient. 8-digit ternary is better.
(The Tasen in Iji count in ternary with their fingers, IIRC)
-

Personally, I have four fingers on each hand. Plus the thumbs of course
-
All thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs.
EDIT: that would be interesting though. A hand with all digits opposable. Without having only two digits, of course. I shall remember this conversation when I'm next designing aliens/Lovecraftian monsters for a story.

Koalas are 2/5 there...

That's kinda two digits opposable to the other three, what I'm thinking is all digits opposable to all the others.

So yesterday I fixed a @sockbot bug and created the PR from GitHub for Windows.
Which presented me with this:

You need two more dimensions for that.

I don't see the dimensionality requirement getting in the way.

Well, it was a pull request for @accalia…

Really? Are we perhaps labouring under different understandings of 'opposable'?
