00:00:10 <shachaf> In particular the ח put inside the ש
00:01:31 <wob_jonas> is that symbol printed on shekel banknotes?
00:02:50 <wob_jonas> I don't understand why there are custom symbols for so many currencies by the way. Why not use just some letter combo abbreviation like for other things?

00:09:39 <wob_jonas> Though I guess a few other measurement units use custom symbols too: the degree symbol is used for various units called degrees, and the prime and double prime are used for various stuff, and I think there was one or two more obscure symbols too.
00:10:32 <boily> ℥ is a nice symbol.
00:10:47 <wob_jonas> boily: oh right, I forgot that one because I don't see it getting used
00:11:26 <\oren\> Hmm, I no longer consider it a coincidence. I am better at programming when I reduce my font size
00:11:54 <wob_jonas> also, some people write ℓ instead of l for a liter (and some write L)
00:12:22 <wob_jonas> \oren\: with your good font, right?
00:12:30 <shachaf> wob_jonas: When I measure speeds, should I use Hz?
00:12:36 <\oren\> wob_jonas: yeah and this high dpi mintor
00:13:04 <boily> handwritten ℓ is useful to distinguish the unit from 1, l and other hambiguitous things.
00:13:09 -!- DHeadshot has joined.
00:13:29 <boily> 2 mega Bel per second?
00:14:00 <\oren\> I was struggling to translate this perl script into C++. I reduced font size to get more of the code on my screen and suddenly I fixed all the segafults in half an hour and it now works.
00:14:05 <wob_jonas> shachaf: for speeds, use m/s, except when it's speed limit for motor vehicles, in which case use whichever one of km/h or mi/h is generally used for labels of the speedometer of the car
00:14:24 <shachaf> Measure acceleration in mHz/s
00:14:54 <wob_jonas> I don't like too small fonts, but that's partly because I'm myopic and don't have a perfect vision
00:15:50 <wob_jonas> well, I do have a perfect vision with glasses by the technical definition, as proven repeatedly in the optometrist examinations, but a worse vision still than some other programmers
00:16:30 <\oren\> I have bad vision at distances but up close I can handle very small font sizes
00:17:16 <wob_jonas> The other part I don't get is how some people can work with the sun glaring directly into the monitor, or with the sun shining in brightly through a window from right ahead of you from the same direction as the monitor, or in a very dark room with a bright monitor.
00:17:22 <wob_jonas> But I've seen people do each of those.
00:17:46 <\oren\> I much prefer a bright, bright monitor and no light apart from it
00:17:57 <wob_jonas> \oren\: yes, since I'm myopic, I also have a worse vision in a distance (unless I wear contacts, which I don't do these days)
00:18:17 <boily> 20/20 vision, 20/10 with rice.
00:18:32 <wob_jonas> I prefer a rather dark monitor. I somewhat vary the darkness depending on whether it's the day or night, but it's dark in either case.
00:21:23 <wob_jonas> Ideally the daylight should come from the side and the window somewhat shaded so the light is scattered rather than glaring from one direction, but this is often not practical.
00:21:57 <wob_jonas> And of course neither the lighting nor the monitor should flicker, because that's really annoying.
00:22:07 <shachaf> \oren\: Did you fix your build system yet?
00:23:13 <wob_jonas> The monitor part has gotten easier these days: instead of old small CRTs, we got better CRTs then later TFT monitors; the lighting gets worse though, with all the fancy fluorescent lighting and leds instead of proper conventional and halogen bulbs.
00:24:17 <\oren\> shachaf: no, but luckily the build system wasn't involved here
00:24:45 <\oren\> it's just a perl script, and i translated it into a C++ program with just the standard liberry
00:24:51 <wob_jonas> Also bigger TFT monitors, which is nice.
00:28:13 -!- hppavilion[1] has joined.
00:28:41 <shachaf> \oren\: Hopefully your build system is involved with both Perl and C++ code?
00:30:22 <\oren\> no, this tool doesn't get used in the build system, neither does the build use it
00:30:49 <\oren\> it's totally separate, and is instead part of a system that will get built with bjam
00:30:51 <shachaf> OK, but you still build it.
00:31:13 <\oren\> yeah I build it by saying g++ main.cpp
00:31:52 <\oren\> bjam will probably just do that
00:32:50 <\oren\> it's better than our inhouse thing
00:33:07 <shachaf> why don't you invent a new system which is good instead of bad
00:33:33 <\oren\> lol who has time to do that
00:33:40 <wob_jonas> shachaf: I think making a good build system is a REALLY hard problem
00:33:59 <wob_jonas> like, harder than making good versions of other programming support tools
00:35:08 <shachaf> Right, but \oren\ is "an excellent software developer", so he's well-suited for the task.
00:36:44 <\oren\> rather than mocking me for putting that, you hould go and put "an amazing software developer" on your linked in
00:37:37 <shachaf> It's gentle prodding at best.
00:38:02 <shachaf> Maybe I should delete my LinkedIn account instead
00:38:05 <\oren\> so people know haw awesome you are
