<jfhbrook> dang
<ELLIOTTCABLE> hi loooves
<ELLIOTTCABLE> devyn_! hi! omg! I miss you!
<ELLIOTTCABLE> smart home shit is such trash,
<ELLIOTTCABLE> calc is such trash and I am a terrible student,
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Anki and/or SRS are fucking amazing get on this game *immediately* if u want to remember anything ever,
<ELLIOTTCABLE> this is ur monthly elliott update ywyw
<pikajude> wow that was quick
<ELLIOTTCABLE> lol hi pikajude
<pikajude> ello
<pikajude> ELLIOTTCABLE i spent almost $700 on a keyboard
<ELLIOTTCABLE> wow, which one
<pikajude> m65-a in rose gold
<pikajude> the reason i spent that much is because it was part of a group buy that i didn't know abuot
<pikajude> and there's only one production run
<pikajude> putting the limited in limited edition
<pikajude> b-baka
<jfhbrook> I spent 100 bucks on a mouse that's currently broken
<pikajude> sorry to hear about your mouse
<jfhbrook> I think I'm gonna just buy another one a lot like it but I haven't yet
<jfhbrook> because like
<jfhbrook> damn
<jfhbrook> I think the mouse got fucked up in my backpack when I moved offices
<jfhbrook> I think?
<pikajude> oh
<pikajude> which mouse
<pikajude> oh
<pikajude> it got crushed in a backpack
<pikajude> that would do it
<jfhbrook> a wireless verticalmouse
<jfhbrook> well it looks structurally intact it just won't stay on
<jfhbrook> also wondering if somehow running out the battery by going on vacation permafucked it
<jfhbrook> either way, I'm using a wired logitech pos right now, kinda wanna fix that, but shit son
<pikajude> a shitty logitech mouse? now i've heard everything
<pikajude> i'm using a good logitech mouse
<jfhbrook> well like they're rugged and all
<jfhbrook> I don't dislike logitech
<jfhbrook> but you know how it is, cheapest $15 mouse etc
<jfhbrook> it was meant strictly for interacting with dashboard-only computers
<pikajude> yes
<pikajude> the bare minimum
<jfhbrook> like, ok log into shartbeat, config, unplug and walk away
<pikajude> more fragile than an actual mouse
<jfhbrook> yeah I mean it works hah
<jfhbrook> I just want the dank asshole rich guy mouse again
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that keyboard looks terrible tho
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I don't understand, pikajude?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> unless I found the wrong thing on google, which I probably did
<pikajude> oh ok
<pikajude> link
<pikajude> what did you look at
<jfhbrook> you should link us to the right thing too
<jfhbrook> I just got a mac flavored das keyboard with blue cherry mx's
<jfhbrook> it's been my dog for a couple years now, I love it
<jfhbrook> esp now that I got switch dampers on it hah
<pikajude> bork bork
<pikajude> gotta love dogs
<jfhbrook> I found something kinda funny at work
<jfhbrook> > //TODO:pr Oh god...the types.....
<pikajude> owie oof, my type system
<jfhbrook> scala is kind of hilarious
<jfhbrook> I kinda wanna write an irc bot in scala
<jfhbrook> on top of a reasonable looking pircbot fork
<jfhbrook> kind of a while thing though, esp since I'm only part way through hacking up an irc bot framework in python...
<pikajude> oh man
<pikajude> i wonder what things they've added to the language since i stopped using it 3 years ago
<pikajude> it already had literally every feature
<pikajude> i wonder where ec went lol
<pikajude> after i asked him for a pic of the thing he was looking at I guess he fell into a well or something
<jfhbrook> yeah dunno XD
<jfhbrook> actually there are a few new features in scala, I think
<jfhbrook> like I think default args are new
<pikajude> it finally got default args
<pikajude> amazing
<jfhbrook> also at some point core actors were removed
<jfhbrook> with the expectation that you'd use akka
<pikajude> wow
<pikajude> i can't believe it
<jfhbrook> my impression of scala though is that it's an ok language if you can deal with the fact that it treats classes like types
<jfhbrook> but that its library quality kinda sucks
<jfhbrook> play seems particularly bad
<pikajude> yep
<pikajude> every scala library i've used has been terrible
<jfhbrook> my coworker doesn't like akka because you can't statically type check received messages
<pikajude> it's like wading through a swamp
<jfhbrook> like on receive you have to case match, which is fine except you can't compile-time enforce any of that
<pikajude> yep
<pikajude> that stuff is annoying
<pikajude> just everything about it is kind of wrong
<jfhbrook> I think scala would be a fun environment to build a toy sand castle kinda situation
<pikajude> yeah
<jfhbrook> like writing an irc bot in scala on top of pircbot and scalaz would be pretty funny
<jfhbrook> but I don't know that I'd use it for a production service unless I desperately needed the jvm, in which case I'm sure someone would make a passionate case for kotlin and
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fffffucking smart home shit
<ELLIOTTCABLE> sorry pikajude lmao I'm swamped
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I *really* shouldn't be <literally anything that isn't homework>, literally ever
<ELLIOTTCABLE> but I am, right now, lol
<pikajude> oh so it wasn't actually a well
<pikajude> got it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> fucking tryna connect a hodge-podge of Hue, Wink, SmartThings, Harmony, and Alexa products together, using a *different* hodge-podge of โ€œconnecting hodges-podge of things togetherโ€ tools, which themselves will each only connect to a *subset* of 1. the aforementioned things, and 2. other of the aforementioned toolsw
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I need a fucking graph constraint-solver tool to connect my Smart Home to my Smart Home -_-
<jfhbrook> zapier? :v
<jfhbrook> that reminds me
<jfhbrook> speaking of zapier AND scala
<ELLIOTTCABLE> that's one of the latter hodges-podge.
<jfhbrook> so I've been looking at gh trending scala libs cause I just want one scala lib that doesn't suck
<ELLIOTTCABLE> the SmartThings platform, Wink's robots, IFTTT, Stringify, Hue โ€œlabsโ€, and Zapier
<jfhbrook> and someone built a thing that's basically self-hosted lambda
<jfhbrook> and you can make your own triggers
<jfhbrook> so also a self-hosted ifttt I guess?
<jfhbrook> that's amazing ELLIOTTCABLE
<jfhbrook> you should draw an architecture diagram
<jfhbrook> for my notes
<pikajude> i was going to get a haircut today but i couldn't bring myself to go in to the office
<pikajude> i'm having a rough week
<jfhbrook> I got a haircut on saturday
<jfhbrook> I had to drug myself, it was sad and embarrassing
<jfhbrook> but my head looks ok now
<jfhbrook> wedding-ready!
<pikajude> why'd you have to drug yourself
<jfhbrook> haircuts give me crippling anxiety
<jfhbrook> I think because I've been scarred with a bunch of crappy great clips cuts
<ljharb> about what exactly?
<jfhbrook> idk!! sometimes these things are hard to explain or justify
<ljharb> but like, it only takes a few weeks to erase it
<jfhbrook> anxiety is weird like that
<ljharb> yeah totes
<ljharb> just curious
<jfhbrook> I think it'll get better over time though, like I found a nice chill dude at a nice quiet barber shop that's done my hair twice now and I'm p happy w/ it
<ELLIOTTCABLE> jfhbrook: I already have one, lol
<jfhbrook> ELLIOTTCABLE: show me
<jfhbrook> ;D
<ELLIOTTCABLE> too messy.
<jfhbrook> that's the point
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I have pretty extensive local-network-topology and smarthome-topology notes โ€” it's all so รผber-complicated and absurd to ever get anything done when something breaks, if I didn't
