Amith KK

Perl

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. Though Perl is not officially an acronym, there are various backronyms in usage, such as: Practical Extraction and Reporting Language. Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. Since then, it has undergone many changes and revisions and become widely popular amongst programmers. Larry Wall continues to oversee development of the core language, and its upcoming version, Perl 6. Perl borrows features from other program...

Java (programming language)

Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which has since merged into Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to...

Gevorg Hindoyan

@AmithKK ha fany

George Edison

> "...but has a simpler object model..."

Spits out teeth...

Lord of Time

its strange, isnt it... we have such ease at unleashing /dev/chaos into here...

Gevorg Hindoyan

@Alvar c/ \ c++ java

Lord of Time

Gevorg Hindoyan

4:32 PM

c is dad for c++ and java and objective c

Tweeted by AskUbuntu on July 16, 2012 at 4:34 PM

aking1012

@GeorgeEdison - I don't know why that fellow with the QT C++ question didn't hit up SO. I think he wanted a 5 minute answer

George Edison

Me neither.

aking1012

I wasn't going to drop your name in chat so he didn't stop by and ping you with QT questions anytime he hit a block

Lord of Time

lol

@aking1012 excellent thinking

i know @George hates it when i nag him about bugs in his programs :P

aking1012

Status set to "works for me"

Lord of Time

4:44 PM

SPEAKING OF WHICH

oh dear...

@GeorgeEdison you're the stackapplet guy right?

actually good reason about this... there's a crash bug :P

aking1012

oh. there was some discussion the other day about repo not being in sync with ppa i think

Lord of Time

that's a different issue :P

this one's literally a crash bug

and its hided :P

can see the crash bug though

@GeorgeEdison ART THOU ALIVE?

George Edison

@LordofTime Yes.

Lord of Time

@George apparently someone has a crash in stackapplet... version... um...

Package: stackapplet 1.4.0-2, precise.

want me to subscribe you? (its private to bugcontrol and other authed teams atm)

George Edison

1.4 is old.

Lord of Time

4:49 PM

its whats listed in precise atm apparently

George Edison

I've got an alpha for 1.6 out and the previous stable release is 1.5.1.

Lord of Time

at least according to this bug

George Edison

@LordofTime Oh yeah, that's right...

One second...

Lord of Time

and aparently 1.4.0-2 is also in Quantal

so...

George Edison

18 hours ago, by George Edison

You need to see the comments in that context ---^

Lord of Time

4:50 PM

@GeorgeEdison just be glad you know someone who can see the crash bugs, no?

George Edison

That's true.

Lord of Time

@GeorgeEdison link to comments?

@GeorgeEdison also, you may want to see the crash bug to make sure you've got a fix for it

i can subscribe you if you want, its marked as private, so...

George Edison

Sure, feel free to subscribe me.

Lord of Time

whats your lpid again?

George Edison

@LordofTime You can see the context by clicking the '18 hours ago' link.

@LordofTime george-edison55

Lord of Time

4:52 PM

@George is this in Universe?

if so i can prod micahg to see if he can assist getting the newer into Ubuntu

unless you want a debian maintainer (I could take a stab at it if you really wanted)

@George bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/stackapplet/+bug/972200

that's the crash bug

George Edison

Thanks.

rlemon

@jrg how so?

Lord of Time

@GeorgeEdison also...

bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/stackapplet/+bug/920770

old, but...

George Edison

Whoah... it looks like the Python interpreter is crashing.

@LordofTime That's actually a bug with the API.

I'll comment on that one.

Lord of Time

@GeorgeEdison as an aside, do me a favor and subscribe the dev team to the bugs of the package in Ubuntu.

and if you'd like, i can invalid that bug, or won't fix it

just lemme know which you'd like there

(bug control is awesome, i have it for nginx as i'm one of their triagers, but i can help out with yours too </bugcontroladopt>)

George Edison

4:56 PM

Ah, I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed to the Ubuntu package.

Lord of Time

yeah the team doesnt appear subscribed

for the sole reason you dont seem to be seeing the Ubuntu bugs

in future if i see a bug i'll autoupstream it to the LP project

then you'll be autosubscribed (the dev team)

aking1012

anyone else having timeouts trying to log in to the ubuntu wiki?

Lord of Time

the alternative is you put me on the dev team as a triager, and i just be like "HAI! NEW BUG HERE: <link>"

xD

George Edison

I've commented on that last bug now.

As for the first bug... I really don't know what to do... it really appears like the Python interpreter itself is crashing.

...and debugging that is waaaay outside my scope.
