@Tarale oh, I didn't know that it would force a by-election!

Peter Dutton is currently under investigation from the solicitor general, because his wife gets money from a government run childcare service, and it's suspected he was involved in some kind of fraud thing.

Peter Dutton is currently leading the opposition to Turnbull.

So in the next 24 hours: our prime minister could be forced to resign, followed by the person who was forcing him to resign in the first place

So Australian Politics is messed up at the moment - the current prime minister, Malculm Turnbull, just had to cancel a meeting of parliment because a whole bunch of his party members resigned in the middle of it.

Tomorrow there will be a meeting, to see whether Turnbull will remain Prime Minister. It doesn't seem likely, given that he has very little support from his party

If he loses his position, then either Peter Dutton or Scott Morrison will replace him... EXCEPT

I used to have a remote control dalek, and then I gave it away to someone

@snackerfork if you want to see favs and boosts of somebody else's toot, you can click it and you should see the numbers (although sometimes they don't federate correctly)

And no, you won't be told if people boost your boost, which I was annoyed about as well for a while

@Jo @scarlett shwmae! dwi ddim yn cofio sut i siarad Cymraeg, because it's been almost 2 years, ond dwi'n mynd i ddysgu nawr

@tahajin I believe @noelle has worked on something similar!

@sina it sucks that git lets you do this...

goooooooodnight

@weird_hell@cybre.space jeez...

wait hold on, I just remembered that there were 2 spheres:

the one that the great intelligence lost in step 4, and one that Jamie stole (unintentinally) at some point.

But the one that was stolen was left in the monastery, why not just get the monk who follows orders to bring it back too?

4. Intentionally send a yeti towards the monestary for no reason, causing you to lose one of the required items.
5. Send more yetis later to get it back
6. THEN send the person at the monestary with the final item.

What???

This.… doesn't make sense?

The yeti are being controlled by The Great Intelligence, which has this really complicated plan:

1. Have the 5 items required to complete the plan.
2. Give one of them to the monestary for safekeeping
3. Set everything else up over centuries, until finally ready for the item from the monestary.

ok, makes sense so far? And they have someone at the monestary who is following their commands, so it should be easy

@kiilas (note that I said "should be" instead of "isn't" - the unfortunate state of Modern Software Engineering means that there is still value in things that we should have progressed past years ago, because of the huge amount of stagnation we are actually seeing)

@kiilas I also hate that first thing, and I agree that there's value in sticking to something that doesn't change every few years.

But I think tools are really really important - with the right tools, you can cut out almost all bugs and produce really solid software.

And I don't think there should be value in sticking with a language which is at this point half a century old.

As an aside: have you seen this: http://www.c2lang.org/site/ ?
