purr changed the topic of #elliottcable to: you
<cuttle> mcc: hello
<cuttle> alexgordon: hello
<cuttle> whitequark: hello
<alexgordon> hi cuttle!
<alexgordon> cuttle: working on a cool secret thing!
<alexgordon> lol I just went
<purr> lol
<alexgordon> HOLY SHIT THERE'S AN INSECT ON MY SCREEN
<alexgordon> ...then I realized it was the cursor
<whitequark> cuttle: herro
<whitequark> alexgordon: shrooms
<alexgordon> DOUBLE RAINBOW
<whitequark> I need a macro for that
<cuttle> whitequark: planning on it
<cuttle> but only done lsd yet
<whitequark> shrooms
<whitequark> awesome.
<cuttle> whitequark: have you done any hallucinogens :p
<whitequark> cuttle: i even used alcohol like twice in my life
<whitequark> for some reason i'm not even remotely attracted to mind-altering substances
<whitequark> although i've been told that i behave like i'm permanently on drugs
<cuttle> haha, all right
<cuttle> alcohol is aight
<cuttle> marijuana and lsd are very good though
<cuttle> would highly recommend
<cuttle> lsd is seriously one of the most positive experiences of my life
<whitequark> doesn't the result heavily depend on your mood?
<cuttle> well
<cuttle> not really mood
<cuttle> more, the situation
<cuttle> like, if you're at a loud party where you know few people and there aren't friendly people to guide you/do it with you
<cuttle> unfriendly setting
<cuttle> i can imagine it being awful
<cuttle> but, i did it with a couple of friends, in a quiet setting, with music and stuff
<cuttle> and then we went for a walk really late at night
<cuttle> and it was just amazing
<whitequark> mhm
<cuttle> and quite honestly, I think it could only improve a bad/depressed mood, if in the right setting
<cuttle> like, you know the feeling of thinking through a tough situation and coming to a new understanding of it, and there's kind of a feeling of relief and positivity
<cuttle> that was basically the feeling of the whole thing
<whitequark> interesting
<whitequark> because fuck you, that's why
<whitequark> (^ may not work on some terminals)
<whitequark> (it's blinking text.)
<whitequark> unbelievably annoying
<cuttle> haha
<cuttle> works here
<joelteon> iterm doesn't
<joelteon> support it

<joelteon> so are 19.2% of my packets
<cuttle> lol
<purr> lol
<cuttle> staying at home for thanksgiving break
<cuttle> realized why i wanted to live in the dorms so bad
<whitequark> cuttle: buy a house
<whitequark> or rent it
<whitequark> devyn: so I rewrote the http_pipe thing again
<whitequark> now it handles errors gracefully in all cases
eligrey has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<whitequark> ELLIOTTCABLE: so I was looking at ocaml's lwt
<whitequark> it's a cooperative thread library plus a syntax extension
<whitequark> think nodejs without callback hell
<whitequark> it's very solidly done and has okay convenience (rates at "slightly below 'pain in the ass'"; for comparison, nodejs is at "so fucking horrible I need to strangle whoever thought that up")
<whitequark> so I think this both strengthens and weakens your point about Paws
<whitequark> strengthens, because it is actually possible to make a nice, composable abstraction over promises
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Lwt? Acronym?
<whitequark> (it's not as good as it could be, but it's probably fixable, with effort, even within ocaml, no wonder about another language)
<whitequark> yes and no, it's a library name
<whitequark> you can read it as 'lightweight threads'
<whitequark> ok. so. strengthens, because you can have usable async framework.
<whitequark> weakens, because that async framework required very insignificant changes (a tiny preprocessor) for an existing, strict, impure, half-functional-half-imperative language.
<whitequark> and I'm still waiting for you to explain other features of paws so I could at least think about whether they're fun or not
<whitequark> btw, I think your time travel can be very efficiently done with STM
<whitequark> = software transactional memory
<whitequark> I'm not *sure*, but to me it seems that it satisfies the requirements
<whitequark> like, you can have your partitioned heap rollback
<whitequark> *crickets*
<joelteon> i can never decide what to do in minecraft
<joelteon> i want to make a beautiful modern home atop a mountain
<joelteon> but i cant design
<whitequark> #firstworldproblems
<cuttle> whitequark: believe me i'm very down to buy a house but I'm about as far from being financially ready to do that as possible
<cuttle> :p
<whitequark> cuttle: renting?
<whitequark> I, for one, am not even considering to buy an apartment in moscow
<whitequark> that'd cost me an arm, a leg and another leg
<whitequark> tbh if I literally sold those it would probably not suffice
<cuttle> whitequark: yeah, I'm planning to sublet over the summer between school years
<cuttle> while I'm not in the dorms
<cuttle> ELLIOTTCABLE: hi there
<cuttle> ELLIOTTCABLE: metric is good
<whitequark> cuttle: sublet = rent a room ?
<cuttle> idk if i'm using sublet right :p
<cuttle> I just mean very temporarily, no big long leases
<whitequark> ah
<Nuck> sublet refers to the legal arrangement of leasing a portion or whole from somebody who is leasing a possibly larger portion or whole from somebody else
* Nuck appears suddenly to clarify terminology and then disappears as fast as he arrives
<whitequark> that was unexpected
* Nuck sprinkles a cloud of mystery around
<cuttle> haha
<cuttle> Nuck: so if i do it over the summer it'd most *likely* be subletting because leases probably wouldn't be availabl for just the summer, but not necessarily
<cuttle> :p
