[2025-11-24T13:06:08Z] <sad_plan> would you look at that. sbase now has a bc implementation. k0ga pushed lots of commits yesterday. awesome
[2025-11-24T14:19:18Z] <dery> I swear, I think I recognized the utility of a lot (most?) of POSIX's weirdest/misunderstood utilities, but I still have absolutely no idea what bc is good for 
[2025-11-24T14:43:42Z] <ave94> kris_
[2025-11-24T15:14:09Z] <stianhoiland> Hey. I saw there was an update to Dylan's GH. Anyone know anything more?
[2025-11-24T15:19:18Z] <kris_> is that eva
[2025-11-24T15:19:41Z] <kris_> stianhoiland: you know as much as we do
[2025-11-24T15:23:48Z] <stianhoiland> All right. Exciting times
[2025-11-24T15:29:41Z] <midfavila> dery: i use bc literally every day
[2025-11-24T15:29:46Z] <midfavila> it's a really good little tool
[2025-11-24T15:30:00Z] <midfavila> it's just a good little calculator
[2025-11-24T15:30:14Z] <kris_> i use qalc when i actually am using a calculator for something but bc in scripts
[2025-11-24T15:30:32Z] <midfavila> i just use bc
[2025-11-24T15:30:46Z] <midfavila> there's no need for qalc in everyday use
[2025-11-24T15:30:48Z] <kris_> there was something about it that irritated me but i cant remember what
[2025-11-24T15:31:01Z] <midfavila> >there's no fancy GUI!!!
[2025-11-24T15:31:02Z] <midfavila> inb4
[2025-11-24T15:31:17Z] <kris_> qalc on void is just the cli one
[2025-11-24T15:31:25Z] <kris_> its the same concept just a lot more powerful
[2025-11-24T15:31:33Z] <midfavila> i know what qalc
[2025-11-24T15:31:36Z] <midfavila> i know what qalc is
[2025-11-24T15:31:43Z] <midfavila> i just think it's unnecessary
[2025-11-24T15:31:46Z] <midfavila> - w-
[2025-11-24T15:31:49Z] <kris_> okay i wasnt sure because you mentioned a gui
[2025-11-24T15:31:55Z] <kris_> i know there are guis FOR it but like
[2025-11-24T15:31:58Z] <midfavila> im BULLYING you
[2025-11-24T15:32:00Z] <kris_> that's dumb for a calculator
[2025-11-24T15:32:06Z] <midfavila> i mean
[2025-11-24T15:32:07Z] <midfavila> no it's not
[2025-11-24T15:32:08Z] <midfavila> lol
[2025-11-24T15:32:15Z] <kris_> unless its graphing i dont see the point
[2025-11-24T15:32:16Z] <midfavila> what if you want to do graphing or w/e
[2025-11-24T15:32:20Z] <midfavila> or 
[2025-11-24T15:32:25Z] <midfavila> if you just want to have a nice little setup
[2025-11-24T15:32:25Z] <kris_> i have a ti84 for graphing
[2025-11-24T15:32:55Z] <kris_> but yeah qalc is nice, i don't need to remember conversions either
[2025-11-24T15:33:09Z] <kris_> i can just type in '50 miles to kilometers' and it gets the point
[2025-11-24T15:33:53Z] <midfavila> just use metric by default like the rest of the world
[2025-11-24T15:33:54Z] <midfavila> smdh
[2025-11-24T15:34:06Z] <kris_> i do for some things like liquid measurements 
[2025-11-24T15:34:22Z] <kris_> its hard to do that in american society though nobody knows what a milliliter is
[2025-11-24T15:34:27Z] <midfavila> "three throppins and two twiddlydinks to the next city m'lord"
[2025-11-24T15:34:28Z] <kris_> in my experience
[2025-11-24T15:34:43Z] <kris_> at least we're not british and measuring ourselves in rocks or whatever
[2025-11-24T15:34:52Z] <kris_> 'bout 3 stone
[2025-11-24T15:34:59Z] <midfavila> at least the english imperial system is actually used in other places
[2025-11-24T15:35:01Z] <midfavila> lol
[2025-11-24T15:35:06Z] <midfavila> US imperial is used in >america
[2025-11-24T15:35:08Z] <midfavila> and like
[2025-11-24T15:35:10Z] <midfavila> one other country
[2025-11-24T15:35:16Z] <kris_> theres literally only one other yeah
[2025-11-24T15:35:25Z] <midfavila> kind of shit adoption for a system called imperial
[2025-11-24T15:35:25Z] <kris_> look i find it as stupid as you do
[2025-11-24T15:35:46Z] <kris_> i can't change how an entire country measures shit
[2025-11-24T15:36:14Z] <midfavila> not with that attitude
[2025-11-24T15:36:19Z] <midfavila> didn't you know that mindset is everything 
[2025-11-24T15:36:48Z] <kris_> dont worry mid I'll be the next great speaker
[2025-11-24T15:37:01Z] <midfavila> the next Great Man:tm:
[2025-11-24T15:37:06Z] <kris_> also
[2025-11-24T15:37:31Z] <kris_> my philosophy professor is glazing me over my paper trying to convince me I'm proficient and should consider a minor in philosophy if i can
[2025-11-24T15:37:40Z] <kris_> I'm wondering if she's just advertising for her department
[2025-11-24T15:38:35Z] <kris_> i dont really know how to feel about that, if I'm not required to minor in something then i definitely will not
[2025-11-24T15:44:11Z] <midfavila> i feel like it's just rare to see people who care
[2025-11-24T15:44:17Z] <midfavila> like even at all

[2025-11-24T20:59:52Z] <dery> huh didn't know about dc
[2025-11-24T21:00:20Z] <dery> I did an RPL calculator for school once, was really pleasant
[2025-11-24T22:22:09Z] <kris_> midfavila: and yeah its rare to see people care
[2025-11-24T22:22:11Z] <kris_> she's cool
[2025-11-24T22:22:30Z] <kris_> she decided to give me a few visual novel recommendations because apparently we're both into those
[2025-11-24T23:24:17Z] <phoebos> dery: something something bc is a frontend to dc
