Hey, I've still got Simple invites to offload
<gkatsev>
how much interest does Simple offer?
<gkatsev>
probably not high-enough
<Nuck>
It's not high interest
<Nuck>
It's checking :P
<Nuck>
You're still better off with a credit union if you want good interest rates on savings
<Nuck>
But Simple offers a good mobile app which isn't just a web page awkwardly crammed into the mobile device
<gkatsev>
I went with Ally bank
<Nuck>
As well as a thicker layer hiding the COBOL
<Nuck>
Good ol' Ruby coverin' that
<gkatsev>
lol
<purr>
lol
<Nuck>
gkatsev: Well do *you* want to work with COBOL Shit?
<Nuck>
Cause I don't.
<gkatsev>
nope
<Nuck>
And Simple has said they eventually are planning to make APIs
<gkatsev>
maybe if I really want a lot of money
<gkatsev>
yeah, simple is pretty cool
<Nuck>
So there is a possibility of being able to data mine my own bank info
<Nuck>
Woot
<Nuck>
Just ordered some Senns
<gkatsev>
?
<Nuck>
Sennheiser
<Nuck>
The audio shit company
<gkatsev>
that's what I thought
<Nuck>
I bought a pair of earbuds from them, 4.5 stars
<gkatsev>
shit as in good or bad?
<Nuck>
Good
<gkatsev>
right
<gkatsev>
yeah, I like sennheiser.
<Nuck>
Sennheiser is widely regarded to be the best company in audio equipment
<Nuck>
Headphones and such
<gkatsev>
I have a set of their around-the-ear headphones
<Nuck>
I'm an earbuds person generally, I've got a nice stereo hooked to my laptop at home
<gkatsev>
I have a pair of westone in-ear monitors for on the go and at work
<gkatsev>
at home, I have a set of open air cans from sennheiser
<Nuck>
Panasonic, looks like a 70's or 80's system, with 2.5-foot-tall speakers
<Nuck>
Powerful as hell
<Nuck>
Hooked it to my laptop with a Belkin Y Cable from Amazon
<Nuck>
Actually this has to be early 90's
<gkatsev>
lol
<purr>
lol
<Nuck>
Cause it labels Aux as CD
<Nuck>
I gotta get the needle on the turntable replaced before I can start building up that collection
<Nuck>
And then next month I need to order some more coffee from Verve
<Nuck>
So much shit I gotta throw money at
<Nuck>
Very little money to throw
<Nuck>
Reminds me, I wanted to buy Bastion while it's on sale for the Humble Bundle
<Nuck>
Oh right and there's the new HDD I wanna order
<Nuck>
Just dropped about $20 on Amazon

vil: You should apply to HackNY.
<Nuck>
It's a program that I have no idea what it is but it puts you in a startup in NYC, gives you room n' board, and has you solve problems in a fellowship like setup
<Nuck>
And there's moot.
<Nuck>
Because he's apparently part of the NYC startup scene
<Nuck>
Apparently entrepreneurship involves tutus

who's duckinator?
<elliottcable>
duckinator ⑊ for reference, only vil and Nuck are “strange.” And maybe gqbrielle, if she still exists.
<elliottcable>
The rest of us are just developers with an interest in programming-language design.

Alphabetically: alexgordon, devyn, FireFly, fwg, gkatsev, gozala, inimino, russfrank, sanitypassing, telemachus, prophile (aka “trolling”), whitequark, judofyr. All fairly normal, and very intelligent, programmers.
<elliottcable>
The only odd birds are brr, Nuck, sephr, and vil.
<elliottcable>
I exclude myself from both lists, as I'll let myself be judged by others, instead of myself.
<sephr>
can anyone think of any words that start with C or E that mean to record or resimulate?
<alexgordon>
sephr: erection?
<sephr>
simulate
<sephr>
not stimulate
<alexgordon>
:D
malia_ has quit [Quit: malia_]
<sephr>
alexgordon: can you think of a c word for graphics, rendering, computation (not that word), or drawing?
<alexgordon>
sephr: what is this
<sephr>
i'm making a fraps competitor
<sephr>
and i want the name to basically spell out the library its using
<sephr>
(apitrace)
<sephr>
Apitra CE
<sephr>
and now i need to give meaning to the C and the E
<sephr>
Contained Emulation is the only good thing i can think of
<sephr>
that actually has to do with recording gl
<sephr>
contained emulation sounds like it explains the former so i'd have to use Apitra: CE
malia_ has joined #elliottcable
<Nuck>
sephr: Apitra CE sounds like a prescription medicine.
<gkatsev>
it does
<Nuck>
Also I love how elliott always tries to resist the insanity of this room.
<Nuck>
RESISTENCE IS FUTILE
<sephr>
Nuck: which is good because medicine sounds professional
<sephr>
or at least labby
<Nuck>
It sounds like it should have side effects and solve your limpdick.
<Nuck>
I wouldn't consider that a good thing.
<sephr>
what about without the CE? is it still medicine
<sephr>
?*
<sephr>
Apitra video recording software
<Nuck>
Still sounds medical, but less so
<Nuck>
CE is just a common suffix for meds
<sephr>
what about CK?
<sephr>
apitrack is sorta similar enough that some people will get the lib reference
<sephr>
oh Apitra CER also works
<Nuck>
Cunt Edition RED
<Nuck>
If you want it to be an acronym, then you really should avoid the K
<Nuck>
Cause, like, it's hard to find things that start with K
<sephr>
K can stand on its own
<sephr>
Apitra: Codec K
<sephr>
clearly its too extreme for me to spell out
<sephr>
omg Nuck i'm a genius
<sephr>
i solved the problem
<sephr>
Apitra X
<sephr>
still sounds like "api tracks"
<sephr>
and i dont have to explain the X
<Nuck>
That works
<Nuck>
I still think the joke is forced and awful but okay
<sephr>
also could use a K instead of an X if i want to be not as eXtreme
<Nuck>
s/eXtreme/EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME/
<sephr>
treme.xxx
<Nuck>
troma.xxx
<sephr>
Apit Racer
<sephr>
it races to record your gl
<Nuck>
Apit Racer sounds like a Speed Racer character from India
<sephr>
of course, he's our mascot
<sephr>
Apit

Did you know that compilers are only things with three ends?
<whitequark>
Back end, front end and middle end.

God the hiragana for "a" is just hard as shit to write
<Nuck>
Of course I'm used to straight lines primarily in the latin alphabet so I guess that's to be expected
<whitequark>
あああああああああ
<Nuck>
haha
<Nuck>
It's so easy in fonts, but getting the form of that thirds troke is rough
<alexgordon>
brr and purr?
<Nuck>
So I just realized
<Nuck>
I basically never handwrite anything now
<Nuck>
My iPhone was basically the nail in that coffin — all my stuff these days is typed
<Nuck>
I might occasionally have to write stuff for tests and other in-class things
* whitequark
has probably only signed stuff for a great while
<whitequark>
also whiteboards. whiteboards are essential.
<Nuck>
haha whiteboards are for diagramming
<Nuck>
No wonder my wrist hurts from all this writing (to practice hiragana)
<Nuck>
I basically haven't had to use my wrist like this more than once a month for the past 2-3 years
<Nuck>
Japanese might be easier with a brush, now that I look at it
<Nuck>
But the brush strokes would be easier as a leftie. Or as somebody who knows how to use a brush well
<whitequark>
whiteboards are for fucking with
<Nuck>
I'm trying to get one
<Nuck>
Or more accurately
<Nuck>
I'm trying to *make* one
<Nuck>
Saving up to buy a sheet of plexiglass and some supports to mount on my wall
<Nuck>
Just realized why Japanese is so hard for me to write — the latin alphabet is basically all geometric curves (straights and circles), while Japanese has all these squiggles in their curves
