<Nuck> ... how the fuck did I pass this test?
<Nuck> I swore I bombed it, and I got a 93
<alexgordon> Nuck: grading to a curve?
<Nuck> alexgordon: +50 points for writing my name, but still — I expected *massive* bombing
<Nuck> I was thinking I'd get 60/100 even with that curve, at best
<alexgordon> Nuck: well the question is: are you smarter than 93% of your class?
<Nuck> alexgordon: It would seem. Most of my peers were ~75
<vil> hi alexgordon
<alexgordon> hi evans
<Nuck> ... evans?
<alexgordon> Nuck: yeah vil is bill evans
<vil> Nuck: this was established randomly one morning quite a while ago
<Nuck> Bill Almer.
<alexgordon> Nuck: bill evans is not dead, but simply moved to the body of paul mccartney (who is). Paul, or rather Bill communicates using the IRC nick "vil"
<Nuck> Anyone else find NERDTree is excessively slow on MacVim?
<Nuck> alexgordon: wat
<alexgordon> Nuck: you can deny it but it's true
<vil> I can verify that I'm not in fact dead
<vil> but that's all I'm willing to divulge
<vil> that looks nothing like me
<Nuck> I was about to say
<Nuck> We have pictures of vil
<Nuck> YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT
<Nuck> THUS
<Nuck> VIL IS ALIENS
<vil> I'm not saying I was aliens, but I was aliens
<vil> MY
<vil> NAME
<vil> IS
<vil> SKRILLEX
<vil> ha, didn't expect that, now did you?
<Nuck> BANGARANG BASS BAWUBWUBWUB
<vil> that's not how that works
<vil> that's a good song too though
<vil> gah so much lag
<Nuck> Hate dat song
<vil> never store your iTunes library over the internet
<vil> Nuck: you hate all dubstep
<vil> doesn't count
<vil> just watched Wreck-It Ralph again
<vil> Skrillex really needs to release Bug Hunt
<Nuck> The only good rendition is that vocal one you showed me
<Nuck> Which I use to troll dubstep rooms on Turntable
<alexgordon> Nuck: if vil's real identity were known, he might burnt at the stake as a witch
<Nuck> Mmmmm steak
<vil> Nuck: which one was that?
<Nuck> vil: Omnipony
<vil> hahaha
<alexgordon> Nuck: this is why, for instance, although he is obviously the greatest pianist of all time, he impersonates a useless excuse for a musician
<vil> I don't even know who I am anymore
<vil> it's for my own safety
<alexgordon> vil: you are bill evans
<vil> NO DON'T TELL ME DAMMIT
<vil> now I have to go get the frying pan again
<Nuck> ooooooh can I do the beatdown?
<alexgordon> you might be bill evans, or possibly even bill evans
<Nuck> I want to beat vil up!
<vil> DROP THE VIL
<vil> Skrillex really needs to release the full version of this already as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwP8vRckByQ
<vil> so much want
<vil> Nuck: do watch that even though you don't like Skrillex. fantastic sound design
<alexgordon> <3 pepper adams

<Nuck> So, uh... This works? https://gist.github.com/NuckChorris/5140311
<Nuck> I love Ruby.
sephr has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<Nuck> ... I just did so little work that this shouldn't have worked, but it *did*
<Nuck> I'm starting to see why people use Rails. Though I can't honestly say I enjoy it, it's a rather mindless labor, but it certainly is effective.
<devyn> Nuck: what do you call a chinese weeaboo? as in, a chinese person who's in to japanese culture and somewhat obsessive about it?
<devyn> you know, I'm asking you because you'd be the expert on this language
<Nuck> devyn: Chinkanese?
<Nuck> devyn: Or "traitor"
<devyn> hahaha
<devyn> good one
<Nuck> devyn: That image... I don't get it
<Nuck> Canadian thing?
<devyn> yup
<devyn> lol
<purr> lol
<devyn> Nuck: basically, we have to put these magnetic things on our cars if we're on “learners'” or “new driver” licences
<devyn> each carrying their own restrictions
<devyn> L and N respectively
<devyn> well, this is C for Chinese, indicating that they are too Asian to drive well
<gkatsev> no, it's not a canadian thing.
<gkatsev> it's the 'chinese are terrible drives' thing
<devyn> gkatsev: the ICBC sticker thing most certainly is
<devyn> it was posted in /r/vancouver
<devyn> …
<gkatsev> devyn: ok, ICBC perhaps.
<devyn> but yes, that's a more general stereotype
<gkatsev> but we have 'student drivers' and what not in the US as well.
<gkatsev> yeah, I saw the ICBC earlier, realized had no idea what it meant proceeded to ignore it and still get the joke.
<devyn> well, I think it's a bit different; you have learners' licences, but we in BC have an additional period of 1 and a half years or 2 years or something
<devyn> after that
<devyn> in which you can only take one non-family-member passenger, can't drive at night
<devyn> and must maintain a good record
<gkatsev> that's what we have to do with a learner's permit.
<devyn> right, but we have the learner's permit in addition to that
<devyn> before it
<devyn> :p
<gkatsev> ah
<gkatsev> that's stupid.
<devyn> and the learner's permit states that you have to have an adult who can drive in the car with you
<gkatsev> yeah, ditto
<devyn> the N afterward doesn't
<gkatsev> ah
<gkatsev> weird
<gkatsev> canada is weird!
<devyn> well I think this is a BC thing; I'm not sure how other provinces run their systems
<gkatsev> I stand by my statement :P
<devyn> despite being called federalist a lot, we actually give our provinces quite a bit of freedom to implement alternate systems
<devyn> on some things
<gkatsev> anyway, I better get to sleep
<devyn> alright
<devyn> why do you always talk right before sleeping
<devyn> in here
<devyn> lol
<purr> lol
<devyn> > North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has issued a detailed threat to "wipe out" a small South Korean island in a further escalation of already elevated military tensions on the Korean peninsula.
<devyn> lol.
<gkatsev> devyn: IDK
<gkatsev> I do that everywhere...
<devyn> well, sleep well, sweet dreams, etc.
<gkatsev> thanks
<gkatsev> good night
<Nuck> "student driver" is not mandatory signage in the US
<Nuck> It's common, but not required by law
<Nuck> devyn: I can't take Kim Jong Un srsly, he just looks like a sad fat kid
<devyn> apparently I took this picture at some point… http://cl.ly/NUtQ

<vil> Nuck: nopenopenope
<vil> I have too much stuff to be doing to even consider spending time configuring a new tool
<Nuck> Eventually you'll join the dark side.
<vil> haha
<vil> so NERDTree is freaking awesome
<vil> I keep hitting my tmux prefix to try to switch vim windows, though
<vil> stupid brain
<gkatsev> lol
<purr> lol
<vil> I wish keyboards came with an extra row of keys that did nothing, but could be mapped to act like any combo. Hardware side, so no software would be required.
<vil> I should just buy a midi controller. that'd be cool
<gkatsev> vil: isn't that what the F-keys are for?
<vil> I enjoy my F-keys being the hardware controls on the mac
<vil> but I could swap Fn, yeah
<vil> I might do that
<gkatsev> that's because on osx, the F-keys are actually hidden under fn
<vil> yeah
<gkatsev> also, on osx, you can basically create shortcuts for whatever
<vil> I COULD use KeyRemap4MacBook to have Fn toggle them on and off, I suppose
<gkatsev> eh
<vil> yeah, I don't use the system Keyboard Shortcuts as much as I probably should
<gkatsev> just map stuff to the F-keys and then use fn-F# for them
<vil> mostly the problem is that I'm too lazy to figure out what works the best
<Nuck> I remap F2-F4 and use the Fn+F2-F4 for it
<Nuck> Bufferlist is F2, NERDTree is F3, Gundo is F4
<gkatsev> NERDTree is <leader>nt, mapleader being space.
<Nuck> I generally just leave NERDTree open at left all the time anyways lol
<purr> lol
<gkatsev> yeah, i leave it on a lot
<gkatsev> I've been using ctrlp more and more
<gkatsev> I've actually disabled bufexplorer since I basically no longer used it
<gkatsev> and instead was using just NERDTree and ctrlp
<Nuck> ctrlp?
<gkatsev> it's like command-t, but written 100% in vimscript.
<gkatsev> !g vim ctrlp
<gkatsev> -g vim ctrlp
<purr> gkatsev: ctrlp.vim - Fuzzy file, buffer, mru, tag, ... finder with regexp support ... <http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3736>
<Nuck> Ah that's kinda cool
<vil> ctrlp looks cool, I was checking it out the other day
<vil> haven't installed it yet
<gkatsev> do it
<vil> once this project is done
<vil> I want to get it out of the way so I can enjoy the rest of break
<Nuck> Break? :o
<Nuck> Lucky bastard, I don't get a spring break
<vil> heh
<vil> I'm spending it in lovely my house
<vil> because I'm cool like that
<vil> glad I took my one trip outside while it was nice, windy as heck now

<alexgordon> not sure why you would want to use regexes for search patterns

<Nuck> TBH I'd be fine with simple blobbing
<vil> BLOBBING
* Nuck blobs on vil
<Nuck> v*l
* Nuck expands
* Nuck returns vil
<vil> I think vim already does that
<Nuck> Possibly
<Nuck> I honestly haven't tried.
<vil> Nuck: yep, it does
<vil> you can use it with stuff like :bdelete
<Nuck> Well that's cool, and I just use :bd
<Nuck> Especially with files named "sm"
<vil> tab cycles through matches, Ctrl-a expands all
<Nuck> Cause then I can go all :bd sm
<vil> ...
* Nuck loves some :bdsm
* vil wanders away slowly

<elliottcable> So, I'm going to build a web-framework in JavaScript.
<elliottcable> globbing*
<alexgordon> elliottcable: sounds innovative!
<elliottcable> yep
<whitequark> glo... bbing?
<elliottcable> I'm going to do something to abstract my ANAL approach; and then tie in JSON-streaming / real-time updating.
<alexgordon> "I'm going to do something to abstract my ANAL approach"
<alexgordon> elliottcable: wat.
<purr> beep.
<elliottcable> alexgordon ⑊ you obviously don't keep up with my projects. ;)
<elliottcable> alexgordon ⑊ https://github.com/elliottcable/ANAL
<elliottcable> it's from a couple years back; when Node was relatively new.
<elliottcable> It got me really excited for the idea of using the same codebase on the client and the server; and providing a false DOM to the server-side, so that the server-side execution of the code could update a “ghost page” which could then be shipped to the client in static HTML
<elliottcable> thus supporting JavaScript-less clients, and slow clients, with a dynamic “fat-client” JavaScript application
<elliottcable> not to mention enabling caching.
<alexgordon> omg
<alexgordon> idea
<alexgordon> polymorphic contexts
<alexgordon> damn I need micahjohnston
<elliottcable> explain
<elliottcable> while I walk away
* elliottcable begins to slowly walk away, to demonstrate that you should begin explaining; looking over his shoulder, nodding encouragingly, he smiles
<alexgordon> elliottcable: IRC is the wrong medium… writing a text file
<elliottcable> link it to me later
<elliottcable> whitequark ⑊ I solemnly swear to use every single example used in that presentation.
<elliottcable> vil ⑊ it's not true, either
<elliottcable> oh. reading in the clouds. sorry.
<alexgordon> this is an odd mix of mixins and dynamic scoping
<fwg> ew
<fwg> in a statically typed language?
<fwg> wait, that does not jibe with mixins
<fwg> also, is there even a dynamically scoped language with static types?
<fwg> why am I monologuing here.
fwg is now known as horse_fwg
<horse_fwg> then I noticed that: huh I'm awat
<horse_fwg> ok I'll go read that dynamically typed == statically typed post again
<alexgordon> horse_fwg: yes. A strange mix of mixins and dynamic scope in a static, functional language
<alexgordon> it works, I swear!
