companion_cube: how do I bribe Leonidas then? ;) more seriously, is it cool if I open an issue to ask about the next release or should I send him an email instead?
<olle>
Or where did you look, theblatte ?

static: I wonder if I'm a bot. Usually questions like yours are not asked in a vacuum, but with a context. If you ask a richer question, you'll get a more nuanced answer.
<theblatte>
olle: I looked on that page, under "Professional Developers"
<olle>
theblatte: Each section has a link :)
<companion_cube>
theblatte: yeah open an issue I think
<companion_cube>
olle: what if C programmers and FP programmers are both less likely to lurk on stackoverflow and thus participate in surveys?

there's a selection bias in there

Yeah

But find a better one?

I don't have one

So why did I learn PHP when it's the lowest salary? ><

This is a Turing test channel

<Corbin>
Imagine, if you would, another chat protocol, with its own networks and denizens. The bots that you see are merely a projection of one of these networks into yours.

<VPhantom> I'm not sure when I ended up leaving UnderNet IRC… early 2000's for sure. Everyone I know ended up being on ICQ, AIM and such, so I just got Trillian to connect to them all (eventually Gaim a.k.a. Pidgin… which I still pronounce "pid-gin" with a hard "g"😛) I don't miss the netsplits but I do miss the simplicity of using the IRC client of my choosing (including one I wrote myself in C in the late 1990s).

<d_bot>
<Splingush> I think it uses this.

<mseri> Is the change of api for the bots that was in the headlines some weeks ago affecting the integration with irc, or they are unrelated things?
