<Reaper> Why do we need a magnetic field in our giant spaceship
<Sleepy> we'll all be dead from solar radation in like days if not less
<Sleepy> I hope you're not planning to nav your ship by compass :p
<Reaper> And, honestly, the magnetosphere doesn't stop radiation. It stops solar wind particles from stripping away the atmosphere :-D
<WK> what relevance would a compass have in a spaceship anyway?>
<Dragonfly> how else are you supposed to draw circles?
<Taisa> Hey Dan would it be creepy and/or manipulative to try and hit up my ex around the time her menstrual cycle normally clocks at "hornier than usual" or is that just me doing what nature expects me to do
<Rapestove> that sounds like both
<Dan_Maku> Well given you know about it and have tipped your hand towards using it, the former
<Doktor_Q> Those two aren't mutually exclusive at all
<Dan_Maku> Also that
<Dan_Maku> If you're horny just be honest with her about it
<Dan_Maku> ...And maybe don't mention that you keep tabs on her fucking menstural cycle
<Doktor_Q> Nature half expects you to kill your competition's children, this is considered a bad thing today
<Ursarkar_E_Creed> Social Minmaxing and sociopathy go hand in hand
<Taisa> I do like minmaxing...
<tmkf> if you offered steve ballmer a faustian bargain where he could do it all again, with full foreknowledge of how 2000-2010 transpired, but in return he would have to legally change his name to 'stevie peepants' and go by it
<tmkf> would he do it?
<pyna> probably. cause money
<pyna> one of the richest men in the world is named Anurag Dikshit - maybe that happened to him
<BadSpoon> I keep thinking... if I were the guy who actually used all the lifehacks he found online, I'd be the most annoying guy in the world
<Tuplanolla> This might be a silly question, but could there be a substitute for seq?
<jmcarthur> Tuplanolla: substitute seq how?
<Tuplanolla> Perhaps another mechanism to control strictness locally.
<jmcarthur> what do you mean?
<monochrom> $! is a substitute for seq
<jmcarthur> do you have something specific in mind?
<monochrom> "data X = !Int" is a substitue for seq
<Tuplanolla> No. I was thinking about other languages.
<monochrom> err, "data X = Ctor !Int"
<monochrom> Haskell is a substitute for other languages
<powersurge> someone at work is having a breakdown
<powersurge> he's about 70% sure someone took his mousepad
<powersurge> but 30% unsure if he even had one to begin with
<l0de> Notice to IT staff. As of today administrators are strictly forbidden from assigning passwords which are not randomly generated. Assigning users passwords which contain obfuscated political statements (example NRA43V3R! , 084^^4=L|Z4RD ) will be grounds for disciplinary action.
<l0de> so there's another thing I ruined for everyone
...
<l0de> for like 6 months straight I assigned every user the password: "password187!
<l0de> and everyone was logging into everyone else's accounts and creating havoc
<l0de> it was gr88
<dbelange> Front Row Education is seeking a Haskell Web Engineer for a full-time position
<lmt> i watched a short documentary yesterday about a guy in a paraguay slump who organized an orchestra where all the instruments are made from trash
<lmt> you could totally do that with haskell instead
Bruno: Brogue is a fun little roguelike
Bruno: It's like a roguelike with everything superfluous stripped out
Wizard Lachesis: so basically a title screen and then you press enter and it goes directly to the "you're dead" screen

<poofs> unlike other therapists, she is smart enough to know that you cannot take the UPS approach to therapy and handle fragile items by throwing them down the stairs
<camel> > Do you have a full-time job? > No > We're sorry, you do not qualify for this survey.
<camel> Why the fuck would I be doing a $2 30 minute survey
<camel> if I had a full time job
<asaph> So you're over a year and a half into your transition?
<Zyradyl> Yup.
<cjk> Okay so since you've been on both hormonal sides, is there any major difference between the two
<Zyradyl> 89.9% of the time no, except I do have to deal with some unwanted attention, which probably contributes to the 10.1% of the time.
<cjk> whats that
<Zyradyl> Well. Okay. If you had asked me what 2+2 equaled on a bad day where I was testosterone heavy, You would have gotten a "Four, You fucking muppet" and at the absolute worst, a punch in the face.
<Zyradyl> Do the same thing to me now, and I'm going to spend 30 minutes reducing you to feeling absolutely worthless, then say "Four you fucking muppet" and slap you.
<asaph> Holy shit.
<Zyradyl> I don't want to hit people as much. However, I want to make them cry so much more than before. Which i guess means 2+2 equals four, and a whole bunch of unresolved emotional issues.
< wushin> I'm freaking out.
< MadCamel> Why?
< wushin> I accidentally sold a theater to my neighborhood and they are buying it.
<Shadell> Actually
<Shadell> Economists are very very awful buddhists
<Shadell> "All conditioned existence is suffering. Desire is the source of all suffering because it never ends."
<Shadell> "This is why we can create models of economic systems based on the fact that humanity will never stop wanting more shit."
<ceren> actually it's more like when a cat eats tinsel
<ceren> and you have to pull out lumps of hardened turds from the cat's ass
<ceren> that's what removing technical debt is like
<jden> i only steal iwatches
<jden> from techdweebs

<jden> boom, $20k watch
<jden> fence it for $1k and you're golden
<jden> 6 of those and you've made rent for the month in sf
<Somasis> peter anvin has a pet python named perl
<tanderson> since it's a python, perl can C its tail, but because of the forked tongue it speaks with a lisp; his mother Julia always corrected him, but unfortunately was bash'ed in the head by an accidentally dropped cup of java.
<Somasis> oh my god
<tanderson> Thank you, I'll be here all week
<Somasis> that was just criminal
<tanderson> He was sed for a time, but decided to go forth and ultimately met Ada, gave her a ruby ring, and lived happily ever after.
<Somasis> STOP
<Jigsy^Vol> My favorite episode of Star Wars was when Kirk got assimilated by the Darleks.
<e7> I'm a micromillionaire; the Illinois lottery paid me $1
<Orobas> oh. Builder. I did the bird math, I don't know if I told you
<Builder> You didn't. However, you seem amazingly eager to share your findings.
<Orobas> It gives you an idea of how good I am at math. Because the answer I got was between 80 and 3.8 billion pigeons per second
<Builder> It doesn't really give me an idea of how good you are at math.
<Orobas> I am content either way
<dylan> i just got an amazing idea
<dylan> make a tea that is healthy for you
<dylan> call it Vitamin T
<dylan> get it?
<feti> This is going to be a slow day.
<muskets> to be tonic water all you NEED is water, bubbles and quinine
<muskets> and then usually you put lots of gin in it
<muskets> it's a british thing because it was medicine but we mixed it with booze to make it taste less awful
<muskets> and then we decided we LIKED it
<muskets> and now we drink it entirely because we want to
<kerin> this is also the story behind gin but in reverse
<kerin> alcohol was supposed to cure a lot of what ails ye
<kerin> but distilled grain alcohol kind of sucks to drink, so hey let's add some mother fucking juniper
<kerin> alright this is rad, i can't wait to get diagnosed with something so i can drink it all fucking day
<kerin> etc
<kerin> so really the gin and tonic brings the story full circle in a beautiful way
<muskets> yeah
<muskets> the main difference is that the original tonic water WORKED
<muskets> it was malaria prophylaxis
<kerin> well, gin worked if your problem was the horror of being trapped in pre-industrial europe
<kerin> it's about the only thing that did
<catplanet> ROFL
<ChauffeR> what's the name of the mission that fucked up because they didn't use meters
