Rydwolf Programs

This is so exciting and much pog

Rydwolf Programs

01:54

@lyxal :D

A little early for this, but just in case it happens while I'm asleep, thanks so much to all of y'all for the advertising and dedication that's made this site (well, soon-to-be-beta :p) possible, especially you, lyxal.

Ginger

^ very much seconded

Rydwolf Programs

Definitely did not see the proposal going this far when I made it, and without y'all it definitely wouldn't have. I'm super excited for what this community will help all of us achieve

Ginger

frankly I was only like 40% sure that we'd get to here

Rydwolf Programs

Yeah, the beginning of commitment stage had me worried, and definition seemed like it'd take a lifespan

Unrelated String

02:16

an irl acquaintance just admitted to occasionally looking at cg&cc from hnq so i immediately asked him to commit to pldi :P

doesn't look like he did, granted

Ginger

~~ask him again~~

lyxal

Wait y'all didn't think this would work out?

Unrelated String

02:31

the commitment drought was pretty worrying but we were also actively holding off on advertising at that point so

lyxal

Y'all need to get better at the long game :p

Ginger

I've been playing the wide game this whole time

lyxal

We still had another month until advertising was even mission critical :p

This proposal was happening whether y'all liked it or not

@RydwolfPrograms the stats were never the problem - it was making sure it didn't get closed as dupe of anything that was the concern

Rydwolf Programs

Well, early on I think there was plenty of potential for it to die for one reason or another

Ginger

96%

ecin

lyxal

02:42

@RydwolfPrograms not on my watch

Rydwolf Programs

Yeah after your first round of advertising a lot of those worries died pretty quickly :p

lyxal

As I said

This proposal was happening whether y'all liked it or not

Rydwolf Programs

So I think it might be time to strategize what to post off the bat and what to save for public beta

Given that we're seven committers away

Ginger

it's the final countdown

Unrelated String

french horn

Ginger

02:48

ungodly screaming

that's how the song goes, right?

Unrelated String

yeah

Ginger

ffs these last few votes are slow as molasses

or maybe I just have no patience

Unrelated String

in The Nineteenth Byte, 35 mins ago, by Unrelated String

one of y'all has to have seen the banshee scream scene by now

Ginger

finally, I know what dividing by zero feels like

what tf is that

Rydwolf Programs

@Ginger Nah, I mean there were only 10 or so commits throughout the entire time I was asleep then at school

It'll be like 12 hours I'm guessing

Ginger

02:58

aaaaaaaa

I don't have the patience for that!

Rydwolf Programs

Just make seven socks

Unrelated String

@Ginger being told to make an instagram account

Rydwolf Programs

And put them on your octopus

Unrelated String

i'm not even joking

Ginger

@RydwolfPrograms ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm sorry I had to do it

@UnrelatedString what

are you serious

that was in reaction to being told to make an instagram account???

Rydwolf Programs

03:00

(the last tentacle is left unsocked. That's so you can hold its hand when it's sad.)

Ginger

I mean it's an understandable reaction, but still

I'd be tempted to do sock abuse but I think that'd be grounds for the proposal being nuked, and ain't no way I'm letting that happen

Rydwolf Programs

Well it'd certainly be grounds for you to be nuked, probably not the proposal :p

(And I'd rather you not be nuked personally)

Unrelated String

03:19

@Ginger it makes sense in context

Ginger

@UnrelatedString well what's the context then

Unrelated String

well i guess being told to make an instagram account is more the last straw in confronting the idea that she may be nearly alone in never having been photographed outside family and school

Ginger

03:42

@UnrelatedString wdym nearly alone?

I've never been photographed outside of school photos and whenever my mom insists of taking a photo of the family

There must be tons of people around who don't have too many photos of themselves

@Ginger What song is this?

@user Wait I guess when it comes to taking photos of oneself, I'm not really representative of the wider population

Unrelated String

06:17

and that is why she is literally us fr fr

@user the final countdown

@RydwolfPrograms the characters one we could post right away i think

3 hours later…

Rydwolf Programs

17:21

Well that was an anticlimactic 12 hours

1 additional committer lol

Seggan

18:07

lets goo 194

mousetail

18:27

It's slowed down a lot though

user

@Ginger I've listened to the final countdown and don't remember an unholy scream

Is there an unedited version or something? And I've been listening to a more common edited one?

Ginger

@user it was a joke lol

there's no screaming in the final countdown

user

Then what was the screaming a reference to?

Ginger

at least, not that I know of

@user ¯\_(ಠ_ಠ)_/¯

4 hours later…

Seggan

22:13

@mousetail we can get there within a week

user

6-8 days, you mean

Does someone want to advertise on Hacker News?

I don't know how many of y'all are interested in programming language design, but there's a StackExchange site proposal for programming language design in progress - it's 6 people committing (indicating they are interested in the site) away from becoming a private beta site. It's at area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/127456/…. Any support it can get is welcome!
