daemon oddness
I have a weird situation I will write out when I get back:
I have a file called daemons.hug, it contains daemons for Cyberganked. There are 27 daemons in it, far less than Cryptozookeeper.
If I add another daemon to this file, Cyberganked crashes when run. Not during compile, it's a run time error.
As an experiment, I added a definition of a fuse before the last daemon that I added. It no longer crashes at run time. If I take that out it does.
What. The. F.

I'm not going to answer this until you tell us all how you pronounce "daemon" out loud.

Re: daemon oddness
Does the interpreter crash? Both the Kent's as well as Hugor? Or is some sort of in-engine runtime error? If it's the former, you can send me a hex file that causes this and I can see if it's something I can fix.

Re: daemon oddness
It crashes on both Kent's and Hugor - but I walked back to a few commits ago and added two daemons and it was fine. So it is something I recently added with the alcohol code that is screwing things up. It's weird because the debugger also didn't give me great information. I still have work to do before giving up.

Re: daemon oddness
I've never pronounced it out loud. I suppose I would adopt a rich Jamaican accent for that word though?

Re: daemon oddness
Is it "day-mon" or "dee-mon"? (The Jamaican accent is assumed.)

Re: daemon oddness
It's actually just a spelling variant of "demon" and is pronounced the exact same way:

phonetically: /ˈdēmən/

Re: daemon oddness
I'm not asking how it should be pronounced. I was asking how ICJ would pronounce it.

Re: daemon oddness
I don't know how else to explain it - having never heard the word said out loud in this context, I would have no pronunciation for it.
It's like asking how I would say, "Zbeqbzx."

Re: daemon oddness
How could you have worked in the IT field for decades and never heard someone say "daemon".

Re: daemon oddness
It would only be like that if I also provided the Cambridge dictionary's UK and US pronunciations of the word along with its phonetic spelling, otherwise it would be nothing like the example you provided.

Re: daemon oddness
People still argue about the pronunciation of GIF, and the proper way to pronounce NES is back in the news this month. We still haven't mastered three-letter words. We're never going to get to six-letter ones like daemon, and zbeqbzx is right out.

Re: daemon oddness
Yeah this boggles the mind. The first word of GIF is "Graphics" so it doesn't make any sense to me to pronounce the G like Jeffery. Are people really saying N.E.S. like "Ness"?

Fine. day-mon, emphasis on the first syllable. That is what I would say.

Re: daemon oddness
It's pronounced "demon", like "demon", but everyone pronounces it "daymon", which bugs the SHIT outta me. But you get a pass, because you are a dear, cherished friend.
