OK !coderponies - I believe I've made my feelings for Microsoft Excel well-known, but my employer has a raging hate-on for logical processes and quality software, and I want to know: is it possible to use Excel to make a web-accessible multi-user database? We're currently replicating work three, sometimes more times over because we won't move away from spreadsheets into databases. Like going to war with Nerf and Super-Soakers; good for their intended purposes, similar to the real deal, and completely godforsakenly inadequate to the task at hand. -_- tl:dr FML.

@scribus The only thing I can do is to express my deepest and most sincere condolences over your work. Using spreadsheets as a form of database is a crime against humanity and the current state of technology.

@broniebrown I've told them repeatedly. I've even outlined the wonderful system that would automate hundreds of work-hours a week by making what someone else is already doing count towards the result they want. The only thing keeping me from going ahead and cussing doing it is that I know it would be a waste of time & I'm not getting paid for it anyway.

!coderponies The newest versions of GCC have Go and C11 support. C11 is the newest version of C, which I have heard includes a standard non-pthread threading interface and anonymous structs and unions.

@redenchilada Willst thou to share the source code, by chance?

@loveydoe I do plan to make it open-source once I've got it in a demo-able state. Hope you're not scared off by my Java spaghetti coding :E

!coderponies #linux UNIX tip: To search man pages by name and description, use "man -k keyword" or "apropos keyword", which function exactly the same. To see all of the man pages in a certain man section, try "man -s sectionname -k '.*'" . This works because man -k and apropos take a regular expression as the keyword, and .* makes it match everything.

!coderponies #UNIX To generate JPEGs of the pages in a PDF, so that you can view them with a framebuffer image viewer or other non-PDF-compatible viewer, you can use this command: gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=%d.jpg filename.pdf

!coderponies GNU Stow 2.1.3 released. I haven't used this project yet, but it seems like it would solve a lot of problems with installing packages from source in UNIX-like systems. It manages symlinks in a common directory which point to files from packages that are really separately installed: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-stow/2012-01/msg00000.html

CC-licensed, venerable MIT textbook for programming in Scheme. It is an excellent introduction for beginners. As one who hasn't had formal programming education, this also opened my eyes to the benefits of recursion and variable mutation in functional languages. http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/

@pony I believe so. I was never told an end date, all I know is "mid-August."
