<ja>
ouch @ selective NIH, pikajude
<pikajude>
ouch @ it
<ja>
good luck with the stage 2
* ja
thought you were joking when you said you worked for godaddy
<pikajude>
did you actually
<ja>
honestly, yes
<ja>
ec: YES! IT SUCKS! Hi!
<pikajude>
i don't blame you
<ja>
what kind of Facebook job are you being interviewed for?
<pikajude>
ja: one that involves code
<pikajude>
that's genuinely all i know
<pikajude>
now i need to read cracking the coding interview
<pikajude>
and practice behavioral questions
<pikajude>
kill meeee

I need to choose soon but

For now.

hi smol loves
<ec>
Elphaba: wut
<ec>
Elphaba: I'm so confused. you're bye-felecia'ing Freenode?
<jfhbrook>
what's a bye-felicia ?
<ec>
-g bye felicia
<yorick>
Elphaba: what do I know you from
<yorick>
##javascript probably
<yorick>
so yorickpeterse is in the news
<ec>
yorick: wtf why
<ec>
yorick: in here, probably. Gabrielle's been a regular for a decade.

’sup, ec?

pikajude: cracking the coding interview seems like a cool book
<pikajude>
i need it
<pikajude>
i've only ever passed one interview
<ljharb>
an accountant at my company used that book to help learn programming and is now an engineer
<ljharb>
there's your anecdotal evidence for the day
<ec>
lmao
<jfhbrook>
what, "cracking the coding interview" ?
<pikajude>
yea
<pikajude>
i think i'm bad at the behavioral questions
<pikajude>
i'm guessing that's the problem
<ec>
i think i'm bad at the programming
<ec>
i'm guessing that's the problem

jfhbrook: yes
<jfhbrook>
I'm also bad at programming ec
* ec
high-fives jfhbrook
<ljharb>
jfhbrook: you don't have to be faster than the bear, you just have to be faster than your friend
<ja>
dont worry guys i can teach you programming :3
<pikajude>
i'm fine with programming
<pikajude>
the simulation of human behavior part is the tricky one
<pikajude>
also why does windows update take 25 minutes
<jfhbrook>
hah
<jfhbrook>
so I kinda sorta know programming, I just have a massive focus problem
<ec>
jfhbrook: r u drugs
<jfhbrook>
yes, but not ADD drugs
<jfhbrook>
I don't have ADD, that's not the problem :)
* ec
eyebrows
<jfhbrook>
it's more around a combination of having to juggle a lot of things, having to learn new things in order to juggle those things, and just being tired all the time
* ec
waits for Dropbox to agonizingly-slowly sync ~25,000 files, just so he can immediately delete them ಠ_ಠ
<ec>
fucking dropbox and node_modules. it's a horror.
<jfhbrook>
lulz
<jfhbrook>
womp womp
<ec>
fun fact: apparently it has root-access to the filesystem?
<jfhbrook>
I feel like I heard about that
<ec>
because even if I nuke the dir and make it a 0400 *file*, dropbox stomps on it
<pikajude>
someone else is tired all the time?
<jfhbrook>
*all* the time
<pikajude>
no kidding
<pikajude>
that's what destroyed my last relationship
<pikajude>
it sucks
<ec>
lol
<pikajude>
indeed
<ec>
depression. drugsyo!
<ec>
fix dat cocktail!
<pikajude>
right
<jfhbrook>
I'm usually at a 4/10
<jfhbrook>
which is great when you want to be at a 5/10, really
<ec>
1 being energetic and 10 being exhausted, or vice versa?
<pikajude>
why would 1 be energetic and 10 be tired
<pikajude>
that makes no sense
<jfhbrook>
1 being hospitalized for trying to saw my own arms off, 10 being hospitalized for believing I'm Jesus
<ec>
oh in terms of depression
<pikajude>
those sound like the same
<ec>
im so confused
<pikajude>
in terms of PCP usage
<ec>
so depression ←→ manic
<ec>
?
<jfhbrook>
yeah ec
<pikajude>
sad <-> happy
<ec>
er
<jfhbrook>
where 5 is content
<ec>
sad ≠ depressed, manic ≠ happy
<pikajude>
yes
<ec>
in fact I'd consider those *completely* orthogonal
<pikajude>
i'm saying you're wrong
<pikajude>
and i'm right
<ec>
depressed/sad, depressed/happy, manic/sad, manic/happy are *all* emotional states I've felt, often
<pikajude>
maybe depressed <-> not depressed
<ec>
although I'm usually [4 ←→ 6] on the manic-depressive scale; I don't experience the extremes there, just a twinge.
<jfhbrook>
it's a fair criticism, that scale-of-1-to-10 is definitely simplistic especially considering I've felt depressed and high-energy at the same time
<jfhbrook>
yeah, that's normal
<jfhbrook>
getting to an 8 or so is less normal, on the simplified scale
<ec>
I have my mental illnesses, plural, but bipolarism ain't one of them luckily.
<ec>
anyway are you saying you'd rather be slightly depressed than slightly manic, or did I misread that?
<jfhbrook>
I'm saying that I'm only 10% off where I would be ideally
<ec>
fuck 21,000 more files
<jfhbrook>
and I can blame that on environment
<ec>
fuck you dropbox
<pikajude>
two weeks after installing linux, i'm about to be able to sync my iphone again
<ec>
fuck you linux
<ec>
jfhbrook: know those feels
<pikajude>
it really is amazing how resourceful people are when working around proprietary software
<ec>
but they're not healthy feels
<ec>
ignoring being 10% off “because it could be so much worse” is super-unhealthy
<jfhbrook>
I've been thinking about buying a new laptop
<jfhbrook>
because I don't trust my macbook to be 100% secure
<ec>
I struggle, real hard, with not ignoring minor problems in my life because I regularly compare myself to either 1. my super-fucked-up childhood experiences and self, or 2. my super-fucked-up friend's experiences and selves
<ec>
one of my biggest struggles is actually *working on* all those things I can't help but consider minor
<ec>
jfhbrook: “100% secure” is the least security-conscious thing I've ever heard you say :P
<ec>
what are you doing that a MacBook isn't ‘secure’ enough?
<jfhbrook>
the hard disk isn't encrypted afaik for one
<ec>
oh holy shit it's felix's birthday!?
<jfhbrook>
but really it's a slight distrust of proprietary code
<pikajude>
hard disk encryption actually makes disk utility shit itself inside out
<pikajude>
i'd recommend linux if you're planning to do that
<ec>
pikajude: whut!?
<ec>
I have an excellent experience with WDE.
<pikajude>
congratulations
<ec>
you just have to understand Apple's logical volumes, and work with them.
<ec>
what do you mean “shit itself.”
<ec>
HOW ARE WE UP TO 40,000 FILES
<pikajude>
attempting to add/remove LVs with encryption enabled will make disk utility fail with mysterious errors
<ec>
jesus christ javascript modules
<ec>
and I can't keep working on this project until it completes … aewfsgrdhtfjygkuh,ikhjgmhfngd
<ec>
Oh Nope I Lied It's Found 30,000 More, Cool
<ec>
bbl VR until this is done.
<pikajude>
hey guys, on the plus side
<pikajude>
i tracked down a layer full alu 60% mechanical keyboard today
<ja>
how can you not use arrow keys? do you use hjkl for everything across your whole OS?
<pikajude>
what do you use arrow keys for?
<pikajude>
hmm, actually
<pikajude>
that's a fair point
<pikajude>
navigating the terminal might cause me some trouble
<ja>
jumping between words and characters in text, selecting things in menus, etc.
<ja>
oh yeah, terminal history, too
<pikajude>
they also have 75% layouts
<pikajude>
with fkeys and arrows
<pikajude>
but those are so ugly
<ja>
how about ~63% with just arrows and no fkeys?
<pikajude>
ja: but yeah, if i needed arrow keys, i'd probably use fn + ijkl
<pikajude>
they call that a 65%
<pikajude>
which is the layout i really want, but NOBODY does it
<pikajude>
most people use fn+# for fkeys and fn+ijkl or wasd for arrow keys
<pikajude>
which i could get used to
<ja>
:-( maybe you could make your own
<pikajude>
yeah, i've been having a couple people design a 65% pcb and case
<ja>
ooh, yeah, it's both on ijkl and wasd, cool!
<pikajude>
but it takes a very long time because it's their free time
<ja>
not bad
<pikajude>
also this keyboard is in a group buy so it would be invariably cheaper
<pikajude>
than paying what is basically two consultants
<ec>
no function-keys!?
<ec>
how tf do you vim
<ec>
ah, a ton of leader-mappings I guess?
<ec>
OH IT'S THE GODDAMN NPM v2 FORMAT WITH ALL THOSE SYMLINKS
<ljharb>
what? what symlinks
<ljharb>
npm doesn't symlink in any version
<ec>
so basically there's like ten thousand copies of some modules, because Dropbox renders every. single. symlink. as an entire copy of whatever's symlinked *to*
<ljharb>
(unless you `npm link`)
<ec>
so sometimes I have <module>/n_m/blah, <module>/n_m/widget, but also <module>/n_m/widget/n_m/blah,
<ec>
and then like, <module>/n_m/foo/n_m/bar/n_m/baz/n_m/widget/n_m/blah
<ec>
lord.
<ljharb>
that's not symlinks tho, that's just nested deps
* ec
walks back away while Dropbox syncs the *latest* fifty fucking-thousand-and-no-that-is-not-an-exaggeration file-deletions
<ljharb>
but yes i dearly wish there was a .dropboxignore that i could put "node_modules" in
<ec>
ljharb: yeah, I use Selective Sync. manually. painstakingly. exhaustively slowly.
<ec>
and still sometimes fail, as evidenced by the ~10 projects that have node_modules stored in my Dropbox.
<ec>
currently doing my yearly “go hunt down any accidentally-sync'd node_modules folders and DESTROY THEM WITH FIRE”
<ljharb>
as do i
<pikajude>
ec: how do you use vim with function keys?
