<gq> good old devynci
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: morning
<ELLIOTTCABLE> >:
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: dude, my sister turned 17 this year.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: like, my youngest sister.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I didn't even remember that you had siblings
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: because when we met that sister was 8 :) and i never talked about them because the other two were 16-17 and 13/14 respectively :)
<ELLIOTTCABLE> erinspice's daughter is like, 11 now or something? I think
<ELLIOTTCABLE> idk it blows my fucking mind
<ELLIOTTCABLE> this child that was born when I was friends with this person, is now *a whole person of its own*
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fuuuuuu
<ELLIOTTCABLE> help AVL tree, rotation, rebalancing
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I care zero about these things
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I am clearly a bad computer scientist
<ELLIOTTCABLE> It's *amazing* how out-of-touch my *entire thought process* seems to be, going to a comp-sci programme at A School™
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: i have two neices and two nephews now.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> like, everybody, everywhere, every moment, is all about PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE
<ELLIOTTCABLE> no fucking wonder All Programming Sucks.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: existential angst about people aging is totally my jam.
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: yuuuup
<gq> my courses on codeacademy are so sad looking
<gq> also i poked my github today
<ELLIOTTCABLE> everybody's being inundated every moment with the assumption that Priority Number 1 of their program is having some clever data structures
<gq> because ELLIOTTCABLE i was looking at your twitter and noticed the pronoun thing.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I haven't heard the word ‘user’ from an instructor's mouth in a single class in my entire programming career.
<gq> bahaha yes
<gq> the user is a person who must be lured
<ELLIOTTCABLE> made happy*
<gq> "this is how to build a website." "what is a website?" "sometimes people visit it." "what kind of people?" *endless programmer dudebro jokes*
<ELLIOTTCABLE> making beautiful, happy-making products has little-to-nothing to do with performance -_-
<ELLIOTTCABLE> performance matters … after literally almost *every* other concern
<gq> i'm stereotyping. i'm sorry :)
<gq> ++
<gq> ++ ELLIOTTCABLE
<purr> Let it be known that gq loves ELLIOTTCABLE.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> you can start thinking about performance shortly before colouring the bike-shed, but immediately *after* literally every other single goddamn thought and conversation? /=
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's weird because when I talk to my professors *in person*, we're all on the same page, and excited about the same things
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's neat: I've amassed a little clique of professors who love PLT, or hate the institution of mathematical notation
<ELLIOTTCABLE> being an older student is cool, because it gets me *even more* attention (to the level of friendship) than even being white/male/financially-secure gets me.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol ‘read-eval-pride loop’ I roffled
<purr> LOL
<ELLIOTTCABLE> thx purr
<ELLIOTTCABLE> -what
<purr> <prophile> is the Y combinator defined on boobs?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> well obviously not
<ELLIOTTCABLE> brainfuck doesn't encode first-class abstraction
<ELLIOTTCABLE> oh wtf
<gq> -what
<purr> <elliottcable> sometimes I feel like the gqbrielle of programmers.
<gq> oh god
<gq> purr is being sentient again
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE help D:
<gq> ++ purr
<purr> Let it be known that gq loves purr.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> gq: lol
<purr> LOLNOPE
<ELLIOTTCABLE> precisely.
* ELLIOTTCABLE pats purr
* purr rrrrrr
* gq pets purr
* purr rrrrrrr
<gq> damn it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “All I could think was… oh god. It’s *human*.”
<gq> someday i'll get a rr from purr~
<gq> this is the opposite of my favorite-unfavorite.
<gq> a retelling of The Thing from The Thing's Perspective.
* gq attempts to focus enough to read
<ELLIOTTCABLE> “I wanted to kill it, fast, not risk pissing it off.”
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: OH
<gq> shit
<gq> yeah you're right
* gq covers purr's ears protectively
* purr rrr
<gq> ...
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: sorry this story is why i had another breakdown this morning about why I Cannot Biologically Reproduce, i think.
<gq> that made zero sense.
* gq shuts up and reads more
* gq finished it
<gq> 'kidney bean sized'
* gq reads author's name
* gq shuts up more
<ELLIOTTCABLE> gq: wat
<ELLIOTTCABLE> gq: you want to read my bullshit w.r.t. insomnia?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> (iirc you suffer insomnia like me)
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: yep! currently been awake since 4:30 pm thursday.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> … mis-read as tuesday, and was gonna call bs
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but yeah same lel
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I thoroughly despise APA.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> http://i.ell.io/wWY5
<ELLIOTTCABLE> there's pseudo-APA, to the extent that I could stomache it, with a few intentional violations
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Not The Version Getting Turned In™
<gq> oh god what a throwback
<gq> i had to download that, then 'use system viewer' which opened fucking internet explorer/microsoft edge
<gq> we have linux on this computer but It's Complicated
<gq> no no no ignore me i'm reading it
<gq> COMORBID
<gq> oh god that's the word i always want and can never remember
<gq> when i'm trying to explain to doctors why "no this med fixes the mania but gives me a raging case of the PTSD 'oh god every male i see is going to rape me'"
<gq> gonna tattoo that on my forehead
* gq shutting up and reading
