| <Darxus> | I really don't think that will ever be difficult for me to instantly grasp. |
| <revdiablo> | Darxus: You might forget it was an optimization and think it's part of the algorithm |
| <Darxus> | revdiablo: I really don't think so, but thanks for your concern. |
| <Darxus> | And I *am* very concerned about future readability. |
| <ew73> | revdiablo: Darxus is sort of an ass? |
| <Darxus> | I swear I do not understand how I manage to offend people :/ |
| <Darxus> | I mean sometimes, sure. But for stating my confidence that I'll understand this if() in the future? |
| <revdiablo> | Darxus: "Thanks for your concern" comes across sarcastic and snippy. Doesn't really bother me, but it could bother some. |
| <Darxus> | It was sincere. |
| <Darxus> | People are so fucking complicated to communicate with. |
| <Darxus> | revdiablo: I appreciate the explanation. |
And this was people who program for fun.
