Thanks. I’ve been looking for this for a while.

Why would anyone release their work into the public domain, and at the same time, disallow their site from being included in the Internet Archive?

    <Eelis> i could implement a "geordi, fix my code" command, and
    still most people would remember me for those cursed analog
    literals.

geordi is an IRC C++ bot that Eelis made in Haskell. It parses and runs C++:

Since it actually can parse C++, it can be given C++ editing commands, although you have to know the C++ grammar in order to give it those commands.

Eelis has also written the IRC bot geordi. The bot "evaluates" C++ snippets by compiling them with GCC (or clang), executing the resulting binary in a sandbox and pipes the output back to IRC. It's heavily used in C++ channels on multiple IRC networks.

Apart from seeing IRC still being mentioned quite often here and in other tech-oriented places, and a bunch of nostalgic feelings, this might be the final thing that is going to get me to pick it up again were I left it like 10 years ago: no idea this existed, but seems really valuable. Linux/Windows client recommendations anyone? Servers?

I favour Hexchat. Freenode is where a lot of the hacking talk happens, but not all; irc.mozilla.net and irc.gnome.org are other possible networks you might want to visit for "serious business". OFTC is another network where e.g. Clang and Debian things happen.

I use pidgin on Linux, for IRC and many different IM protocols. It works on Windows as well.

Wow. Fantastic idea.

Mathematica includes geometrical objects. However, scaling won’t modify an objects dimensions so scale and size isn’t captured graphically.

Ha I always find a way to forget the term for this. So thanks for bubbling it up.
