<Nuck>
devyn: Oh don't get me wrong, I know it's not bad, I actually think it's fucking creative, but it mindfucks so many developers that the name can be split up
<purr>
<micahjohnston> somebody should get a large corpus of english text in IPA and markov-chain it to a text-to-speech
<sanitypassing>
... shit
<sanitypassing>
I lost my vimrc
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: Don't you keep it in a repo like the rest of us?
<sanitypassing>
you'd think I would.
<sanitypassing>
it's a pain in the ass to do that on Windows though
<sanitypassing>
I'm getting a new laptop in a week or two though. Once I do, I'm going to put Linux on this one and use it as a dev machine.
<Nuck>
haha yeah it would be a pain in the ass, it's Windows
<sanitypassing>
:/
* Nuck
is watching Evangelion 1.1: You Are (not) Alone side-by-side with the first episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion
<sanitypassing>
lolwhy
<purr>
lol
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: I'm trying to see differences. It is *SHOT FOR SHOT* exact
<sanitypassing>
yeah, up until a point.
<Nuck>
It's actually pretty badass
<sanitypassing>
forget when that point is, but whatever
<sanitypassing>
quality on Rebuild is a hell of a lot better than the original
<sanitypassing>
cell animation is cool, but the newer stuff just looks cleaner to me.
<Nuck>
The amount of detail on You Are (not) alone is pretty badass
<sanitypassing>
hmm. Now I kinda want to rewatch the original series.
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: I'm gonna be rewatching it to gather a good pic of MAGI, so I can build a case based on it
<sanitypassing>
heh.
<sanitypassing>
well
<sanitypassing>
GOODBYE, ACCEPTABLE GPA. IT'S EVA TIME.
<Nuck>
Holy shit even the *wire* that snaps in this scene is exactly the same
<Nuck>
Even the shading on it
<sanitypassing>
they really went all out on the Rebuild movies.
<Nuck>
They even got the ripples on Shinji's shirt the same
<Nuck>
They had to have studied every single shot of the original for this
<sanitypassing>
SHIT
<sanitypassing>
oh god
<sanitypassing>
what is in C:\Users\username\NetHood?
<sanitypassing>
oh god tell me it's not important
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: That's the ghetto district of the internet
<sanitypassing>
because I just rmdir'd it.
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: Are you just accidentally deleting EVERYTHING?
<sanitypassing>
I meant to delete a different folder
<sanitypassing>
but it "autocorrected" to that.
<Nuck>
Jesus christ, sanitypassing. Don't go to Linux, you'll `sudo rm -rf /`
<sanitypassing>
I know not to do that.
<sanitypassing>
and I ran linux for two years. >_>
<sanitypassing>
it looks like it's Network Places.
<Nuck>
Oooh this shot is flipped horizontally
<sanitypassing>
I REALLY DON'T SEE WHY MICROSOFT HAS TO MAKE SYSTEM FOLDERS EASILY DELETED THOUGH
<sanitypassing>
which shot?
<Nuck>
It's one of the shots of the jets firing their guns at the third angel
<sanitypassing>
ah.
<sanitypassing>
have you ever watched the Rebuild series?
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: Don't think so?
<Nuck>
I just watched 1.0 the other night
<sanitypassing>
I see.
<Nuck>
That's the only evangelion film I've seen, but I grabbed a few others (End of Evangelion and 2.0)
<sanitypassing>
watch the End of Evangelion first.
<sanitypassing>
the Rebuild movies are retellings.
<sanitypassing>
"retellings:
<sanitypassing>
s/\:/\"/
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: Which ones are the rebuild films?
<Nuck>
the 1.0 and 2.0?
<sanitypassing>
1.0/1.1 and 2.0/2.2
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: What's even the difference between 1.0 and 1.1?
<sanitypassing>
as far as I know, 1.1 is the BD version
<Nuck>
I've been trying to figure that out, the files seem to be the same in this
<sanitypassing>
perhaps extended.
<Nuck>
ahhhh that explains it
<Nuck>
Yeah I got the .1 versions
<Nuck>
1080p <3
<sanitypassing>
720p. :(
<sanitypassing>
computer can't decode fast enough for 1080p. D:
<Nuck>
ouch
<sanitypassing>
new computer will though!
<sanitypassing>
in any case
<Nuck>
Mine can handle 1080p 10-bit H.264
<Nuck>
Hi10P is fucking awesome.
<sanitypassing>
I'd suggest watching End of Evangelion first; it's an ending to the anime series.
<Nuck>
I wish they had these in it
<sanitypassing>
and the Rebuild movies are "retellings" of the series.
<sanitypassing>
1.1 follows the first half of the series pretty closely, but 2.2 is mostly new story.
<sanitypassing>
and I haven't seen 3 yet as I refuse to watch a shitty cam rip, and would rather wait for 4-5 months for the BD to be released and subbed.
<Nuck>
haha
<Nuck>
sanitypassing: I've seen some great camrips
<sanitypassing>
this one is legitimately terrible.
<sanitypassing>
I tried to watch it, but I couldn't do it.
<Nuck>
I saw a camrip of Kick-Ass, where the camripper is apparently an ex-video engineer who uses multiple cameras combined to form a perfect image
<Nuck>
Easily as good as the DVD versions
<sanitypassing>
yeah, this rip was just some guy in Japan filming with what seemed like a potato.
<Nuck>
"with what seemed like a potato"
<sanitypassing>
it was bad.
<sanitypassing>
very bad.
<sanitypassing>
I'm not entirely sure he used a camera. Hence, potato.
<sanitypassing>
the BD is going to be released in a few months though, and I'm patient enough to wait for it.
<purr>
<banisterfiend> you just struck me as a naruto kind of guy

7 episodes from finishing Steins;gate, I think it's guaranteed that I'll finish tomorrow
<alexgordon>
Nuck: but there's still the spinoff: Steinsgate Atlantis
<alexgordon>
wow it actually has a semicolon in its name
<Nuck>
Yes it does.
<Nuck>
Punctuation in names seems to be a thing in Japan
<Nuck>
They also have the Fate/Stay Night series

Hi!
<alexgordon>
hi elliottcable!
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: what crazy shit have you been up to?
<elliottcable>
Trying to get a job.
<elliottcable>
Depressingly normal.
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: AHAHA
<elliottcable>
I'm extremely anxious.
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: as a millionaire?
<elliottcable>
I've got an audition later this week.
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: ...audition?
<alexgordon>
for shark tank?
<elliottcable>
I've got to pair. I've never paired before. Hell, I've never collaborated successfully before, except with insane people (cloudhead, micahjohnston.)
<elliottcable>
audition, as in, “pair-programming interview”
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: you've never paired before? well don't forget to use a condom!
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: where are you interviewing at?
<alexgordon>
you know you're really quite smart if you tone down the whole genius complex
<elliottcable>
Yeah.
<alexgordon>
is it JS?
<elliottcable>
I've heard pair-programming as an interview process is basically *designed* to filter against “rockstars.”
<alexgordon>
or ruby?
<elliottcable>
And there's no rockstar more rockstar-y than me.
<elliottcable>
I order puppies on the concierge line and demand *brand-name* water-bottles.
<alexgordon>
this is hilarious
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: as an exercise, try writing some code that looks vaguely like it was written by a human
<elliottcable>
So. I've got to apply my genius towards defeating a system designed to defeat genius.
<alexgordon>
you should get a job writing python, it's *impossible* to format that weirdly
<elliottcable>
Lies.
<elliottcable>
I successfully wrote CoffeeScript that looks like it was written by elliottcable.
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: oh I know! wear a big coat and stand on micahjohnston's shoulders. He can operate the keyboard
* elliottcable
laughs
<elliottcable>
I somehow doubt micahjohnston would pair well.
<elliottcable>
I'd totally pair with anybody in this room, though. It sounds exciting.
<alexgordon>
if you wink right now, it would be weird
<elliottcable>
I don't know how to express this such that any of you will understand; but for me, writing “normal” code (or disgusting my own approaches as “normal” code) is just as much of an exciting and intriguing adventure as reading *mine* must be for some of you.
<alexgordon>
nope, don't understand
<alexgordon>
it's just a case of putting the braces in the right place
<alexgordon>
and stuf
<alexgordon>
and having one statement per line
<elliottcable>
... lol
<purr>
lol
<elliottcable>
Not really.
<elliottcable>
If you think that all there is to my code is removing a couple lines here and there, and putting brackets in the “wrong place,” then you're not a very intelligent programer.
<elliottcable>
Skilled and capable, yes; but intelligent, no.
<elliottcable>
In any case: I'm extremely excited about *some* of this.
<alexgordon>
lol
<elliottcable>
Writing what you call “human” code is part of the excitement.
<alexgordon>
well I mean that's mostly what prevents me from reading it
<elliottcable>
But passing myself off as being good at working in a team ... pairing for the first time, ever, without mentioning it's my first time, ever ... very scary.
<elliottcable>
Didn't you once write a sanitizer to re-format my code, and *still* say you couldn't understand it?
<alexgordon>
well yeah but it was better at least!
<elliottcable>
And it's mostly JS, fat-client stuff. They're heavily invested in git, modular design / interoperable but independant apps, and they broker everything through a message queue.
<elliottcable>
The environment sounds almost *perfect* for me. Only eight developers, but a ridiculously oversize budget; and they *just* (like, two months ago or something) switched to JavaScript from Ruby.
<elliottcable>
They've really only got one true JS-competent on staff; and I'm overly confident that I'm beyond anything they've got in-house, including him. They need me, they can afford me, they want me.
<elliottcable>
All I have to do is handle a pairing interview.
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: what are you going to do if they ask for a code sample? lol
<whitequark>
elliottcable: do you write code on contract like you write it in your OSS projects?
<elliottcable>
not unless I have reason to.
<elliottcable>
I've a very very staunch position that code needs to be *designed*, just as much as a text document might need to be
<elliottcable>
and that that design, just as with any other design process, needs to be tailored to the use-case.
<elliottcable>
you might compare some of the code you've seen from me to insane WebKit/Chrome experimental examples that fully exploit the possibilities of those browsers' CSS engines for interesting or exotic results
<elliottcable>
the existence of such doesn't imply that the creator thereof isn't capable of producing an excellent design for your little league team's landing page, though;
<elliottcable>
nor, however, does *that* mean that your little league team's landing page wouldn't benefit from exploitation of those CSS3 features in certain circumstances.
<elliottcable>
Does that analogy make sense?
<elliottcable>
Just as I might take the insane backflips I preform with text-shadow in an experimental document I wrote for fun one night, and distill them down to a quite subtle and well-thought-out shadow on a “real” document's title,
<purr>
<Nexxy> I have a personal rule ... don't feel bad for people that name themselves after final fantasy characters.
<elliottcable>
so might I distill some of the insane architectural and stylistic backflips in some of the experimental code you've seen down to a clarifying indentation here, or a self-overwriting recursive function there, when such makes sense in the context.
<elliottcable>
(thanks, purr. always relevant.)
<elliottcable>
%< ------ %< ------
<elliottcable>
soooo, I'm playing with my Leap Motion. Holy crap, niggah.
<alexgordon>
hey elliottcable
<alexgordon>
been talking to yourself?
<whitequark>
elliottcable: totally makes sense
<elliottcable>
That concept (the dynamic design of *implementation*, as opposed to *product* ... syntax, architecture, API ...), and micahjohnston's Oases / the drive to move *outwards* from this Rut, are the two things I really *believe* in when it comes to computers.
<vil>
elliottcable: hey, around?
<elliottcable>
vil ⑊ indeed.
<vil>
hi!
<elliottcable>
'sup
<elliottcable>
trying to learn RabbitMQ

so I derped installing my new dotfiles on your server and deleted my pubkey :3
