Pyrrh: congrats on picking one of the few degrees you might actually get a job in :-p
<Pyrrh>
haha yeah. I worked hard to find one that was both employable and that I find enjoyable

It's funny to hear yall talk about bringing knives on planes. In U.K. It's illegal to even go outside with a knife in your bag

today, I'm trying to smash together a nice refactored codebase for a static site generator, and a pile of templates from a site
<joepie91>
it's an, uh, interesting experience
<joepie91>
surprisingly I'm actually getting working builds out of it
<joepie91>
despite the clusterfuck that is the original generator
<elliottcable>
text I sent my partner while I was waiting at check-in:
<elliottcable>
« lol @ this Chinese airline’s regulations — “Lighter: only one,” “Knife: under six inches” »
<elliottcable>
« this is like schools in Montana »
<alexgordon>
hahah
<elliottcable>
(where I went to uni the first time, the dorm buildings all have “All firearms must be worn visibly and checked in at reception” posted on the doors)
<elliottcable>
i'm naming my next three dogs ‘mutable’ ‘shared’ and ‘state’
<alexgordon>
lmao
<alexgordon>
america :')
<elliottcable>
can I just stay in iceland
<elliottcable>
I dun wanna go to barcelona
<elliottcable>
it's nice and cool here
<elliottcable>
the terrain looks like Alaska
<elliottcable>
there's wildflowers and mountains
<elliottcable>
)'=
<elliottcable>
ahhhh I shouldn't have drunk at the airport bar
<elliottcable>
this saison is putting me under the table, but I was planning on fuzxing with my neovim setup
<elliottcable>
well, that's going well :x
<joepie91>
elliottcable: \o/
<joepie91>
elliottcable: flying via icelandair or wowair?
<alexgordon>
elliottcable: man I wish I were in iceland right now, it's so hot here :(
<joepie91>
elliottcable: also, KEF is nice and relaxed
<elliottcable>
I love this airport so much already
<elliottcable>
ORD is my home, and BZN / ANC are unbeatably cute,
<elliottcable>
but there's so much noooothing right outside the windows
<elliottcable>
even ANC's surrounded by industrial city-wilderness nastiness
<joepie91>
elliottcable: my experience was that there was also a lot of nothing inside the airport :P
<joepie91>
so nice and quiet compared to AMS
<joepie91>
(fuck AMS)
<elliottcable>
I'm like five inches and a security cordon tackle from home feels 🤤
<elliottcable>
joepie91: how long ago?
<elliottcable>
there's like a metric fuckshitton of construction nrn
<elliottcable>
but the bits that are done are beaaaaaautiful
<joepie91>
elliottcable: oh, that wasn't there back then. about a year ago?
<joepie91>
iirc they're expanding
<elliottcable>
yeah hugely
<joepie91>
which I honestly prefer over what they do in AMS
<elliottcable>
like liiiiterally every wall and every hallway is all wrapped up on tape
<joepie91>
which is "just put more planes in the same area"
<joepie91>
lol
<joepie91>
ah
<joepie91>
yeah, wasn't like that at all back then
<joepie91>
elliottcable: honestly, when I flew back from Reykjavik to NL, my first thought once I got off the plane at AMS was "jesus christ everybody is so stressed and hurried here"
<elliottcable>
AMS?
<elliottcable>
oh amsterdam?
<joepie91>
Schiphol
<elliottcable>
idk Things
<joepie91>
it's abbreviated AMS for some reason
<elliottcable>
where or what is that
<joepie91>
despite being pretty far from Amsterdam
<joepie91>
lol
<joepie91>
well, it's what people consider "Amsterdam Airport"
<elliottcable>
all the canadian ones start with Y
<joepie91>
even though it's definitely not in Amsterdam
<joepie91>
elliottcable: I stayed in Reykjavik for a week... and I have to say, there's something pretty fascinating about walking to the supermarket and seeing mountaintops looming up in the distance
<joepie91>
nature seems to be a lot closer to the city there than in other places I've been
<joepie91>
elliottcable: also, FWIW, KEF is actually some 30-45 minutes from Reykjavik
<joepie91>
(by shuttle bus)
<joepie91>
so it's not really in an urban area
<joepie91>
which explains the wilderness :p
<elliottcable>
lololol
<elliottcable>
well I grew up in a place like that
<elliottcable>
and I now live in the flattest, grossesrt place on freaking earth
<pikajude>
your mom?
<elliottcable>
so I'm just floating around in a slightly-drunken euphoric stupor on my layover
<elliottcable>
pikajude: well-played
<pikajude>
oh ok
<ljharb>
noice
<pikajude>
only the best discourse here
<elliottcable>
the mountains here are ... smallish
<elliottcable>
but the terrain is beautiful
<elliottcable>
so it kinda evens out
<elliottcable>
Alaska is more mountainous near the airport/city (the airport/city is nestled on a peninsula, in a bowl of mountains); but the terrain is less wildflower-y and volcanic-rock-y

ugh elliottcable all this alaska talk is making me homesick. why u do dis
<Pyrrh>
NOW I AM FACEBOOK STALKING PEOPLE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND LOOKING AT ALL THEIR PHOTOS OF THE PENISULA
<Pyrrh>
and peninsula
<Pyrrh>
because I can't spell when I yell
<jfhbrook>
peninsula moar like penisula amirite
<pikajude>
i don't get it
<pikajude>
oh
<pikajude>
bash on ubuntu on windows is so funny to me
<pikajude>
microsoft: "fuck it, fine, we'll just use someone else's OS"
<pikajude>
"do you love us yet"
<pikajude>
never, microsoft
<pikajude>
never
<ljharb>
they're doing really awesome things
<pikajude>
oh yeah and they also fund GHC development right
<ljharb>
you still couldn't pay me enough to use windows, but microsoft has been pretty damn awesome
<ljharb>
and node
<pikajude>
shoutouts 2 microsoft
<ljharb>
and tc39
<pikajude>
i use windows because games all work properly on it
<ljharb>
etc
<pikajude>
but i still use the ubuntu on windows for everything else
<pikajude>
like weechat for example
<pikajude>
:^)
<ljharb>
any games i like work on my xbox or my mac just fine :-p
<pikajude>
yeah i actually don't know if overwatch runs on osx
<pikajude>
but i would definitely hackintosh this thing
<pikajude>
i don't know how easy that is anymore
<ljharb>
it's on xbox tho
<pikajude>
yeah but aiming with a controller gives me ebola
<ljharb>
that's why you princess bride it
<ljharb>
do it so much you get immune
<pikajude>
i also seriously doubt the xbox can handle more than 60hz
<ljharb>
what's the limit of human perception on framerate tho
<pikajude>
in an FPS, probably around 200hz
<ljharb>
cause like, at some point it's not gonna matter
<ljharb>
hm
<ljharb>
that seems like it'd be way too intense
<ljharb>
like the hobbit HFR
<pikajude>
well movies are supposed to be cinematic
<pikajude>
in a competitive shooter, you want to be able to react to the movement of your opponents as quickly as possible
<pikajude>
i admit i was pretty skeptical about super high framerates too
<pikajude>
but the difference between 60 and 144hz in a shooter is blatantly obvious
<pikajude>
and makes playing in 60hz really unpleasant
<pikajude>
it's fine for 3rd person games though
<ljharb>
hm
<ljharb>
pretty sure i've never had a problem with it
<pikajude>
ok
<ljharb>
but i haven't played tons of games lately
<ljharb>
so maybe i'd change my mind
<pikajude>
well when i get home from work i either hack on some haskell or rust project or i play ow for two hours
<pikajude>
and windows can allow me to do both
<pikajude>
anyway the only other thing i'd consider doing on here is hackintoshing
<pikajude>
linux as a desktop OS is death by a thousand cuts
<pikajude>
but that could be a fun weekend project

tfw once i put os x on my computer, i will be able to use a tiling WM
<pikajude>
lmao
<pikajude>
oh wait, but they don't have overwatch for mac
<jfhbrook>
kinda, anyway--I was using xmonad with xfce so I had to deal with the inherent jankiness of xmonad paired with the jankiness of convincing xfce to boot xmonad instead of xfwm
<jfhbrook>
would probably use awesome now, or at least try

hey Americans, gas is $6/gallon here in europe
<jfhbrook>
that's a lot
<jfhbrook>
did it go down when oil prices did in 2014?
<ljharb>
yeah gas is one of the cheapest liquids you can get in the US
<ljharb>
thanks to all those republicans who want small government, except for when it props up corn and gas and guns and smokes
