<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
<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 โconnecting 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 โlabsโ, 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
