"Would you rather get what you want, or be happy?"

Unironically I would rather get what I want. If I end up happy that's great, but what I want is to get what I want.

“My conscience won’t let me call Ruby a computer language. That would imply that the language works primarily on the computer’s terms. That the language is designed to accommodate the computer, first and foremost. That therefore, we, the coders, are foreigners, seeking citizenship in the computer’s locale. It’s the computer’s language and we are translators for the world. But what do you call the language when your brain begins to think in that language? When you start to use the language’s own words and colloquialisms to express yourself. Say, the computer can’t do that. How can it be the computer’s language? It is ours, we speak it natively! We can no longer truthfully call it a computer language. It is coderspeak. It is the language of our thoughts.”

Apropos of nothing

Back when I was in college in the early 90s, all the most colorful personal ads were in the back section of the Public News, Houston’s alt newspaper. It was about the only mainstream place at the time where you’d see ads for gay, poly, swinging, etc. relationships.

My favorite ad from those days is from the “men seeking men” section. I still remember it word for word over twenty years later:

Recent amputee into black magic and falconry seeking same.

The “seeking same”has always struck me as the epitome of romantic optimism. I like to believe that dude found who he was looking for.
