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?
<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
<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

it's always pointed at the wrong network in the console window

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.
<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

explain

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
