what do u do when u tell ur parent in no uncertain terms Thank You For The Offer But I Do Not Want A Tutor For This Course It Will Not Help And I Am Deeply Uncomfortable With It Do Not Get Me One

and then they go and book u with an online tutor. without asking. what the fuck.

[schmergo]

If you think I was a kid who loved to read, you’d be right, but that doesn’t just mean I was reading, like, Newbery Award nominated prestigious children’s novels. Because in my experience, most kids who love to read are more gourmand than gourmet. I was also reading:

* Class rosters. I begged my teachers for these. I wanted to try to memorize everyone’s middle names.

* Similarly, old yearbooks. I liked judging whether people’s names matched their faces and making up different names for them if they did. I also loved reading baby name books and making lists of names I liked.

.* The personals section of the newspaper. I liked picturing the people as they described themselves and imagining which combination of people on the page might like each other.

* The ingredients of food packages. Not even for any real informational reason, I just really liked certain fantasy-sounding words like thiamine and riboflavin.

* An old World Book Encyclopedia from the 1970s. I would sneak out of bed to read it because the bookshelf was near my bedroom door and I could crawl to it without making the floor creak. My favorite entries were the ones about Hawaii and tigers. I kinda developed a ritual of rereading the Hawaii article when I had read a scary book before bed and needed to calm my brain down.

* My dad’s Dave Barry and Woody Allen humor books and also transcripts of all of the Monty Python’s Flying Circus episodes. This is probably why my sense of humor has been so weird from such a young age.

* The part of the church hymnal with ceremonies for baptisms, weddings, and funerals. I liked to imagine them.

* Wine catalogs at friends’ houses. The descriptions of the wines seemed so poetic and abstract. I also liked when they said “fruit on the nose” because I pictured a dog balancing a whole piece of fruit on its nose.

* My parents’ parenting books. I liked to see if I was exhibiting developmentally appropriate behavior. I am not 100% sure if doing that is, in fact, developmentally appropriate behavior.

* Those little brochures advertising various roadside attractions and tourist activities at rest shops. I would grab as many as possible when we stopped to use the bathroom on a road trip. Also, travel guides in general.

* I checked out the entire “unexplained” section of the library over the course of third grade. (Dewey decimal 001.9.) Ask little me about Project Blue Book, I guess.

* I LOVED party planning books, especially ones with highly specific themed parties that seemed impractical to put on in real life like a whole chess-themed party culminating in a game of human chess, complete with lemon chess pie for dessert.

* Seed packets. I find the writing style of these very endearing. It always sounds so affectionate toward the plants.

* My grandma’s Reader’s Digest magazines, which felt like Russian roulette because they sometimes published disturbing articles that gave me nightmares. (Reader’s Indigestion?) I especially vividly remember a feature on adopted kids who need to wear Ilizarov apparatuses to straighten their limbs because they became malformed due to severe neglect at orphanages.

* For some reason, I loved reading restaurant menus and imagining what kind of food different fictional characters would order from there.

* And last but certainly not least, because I think this is a relatable one: the AMERICAN GIRL CATALOG! No, I never had an American Girl doll, but getting the catalog was a source of much excitement.

The Rocky Horror characters at the mall?? :) What shops would they like? What antics would they get into?

-A.B.

OMG I LOVE IT SO MUUUCHHHH

Frank: He is headed straight to Victoria's Secret- he loves Victoria's secret. He's also been banned from numerous candy shops because he keeps trying to use the candy in attempts to seduce staff and other customers with it. It started out with just lollipops, which they couldn't really get after him for, but then it escalated into "inappropriate use of the whipped cream" and "noise complaints from his moaning whenever he ate anything" and he was out

Brad: Brad loves to go fishing through those big bins of DVDs in video stores!!! (Idk if they still exist I haven't seen them in my recent trips to the mall but they were excellent while they lasted. I probably would not have the patience for what Brad does, but I'm proud that he does it) One time he found a Monty Python in there and rode that high for MONTHS! It was his greatest moment. He's also always going to wherever the Mario games are!!!

Janet: Janet's favorite stores are Forever 21 and Macy's. She definitely gets obsessed with stuff, has her arms full, and then realizes halfway through that she most certainly cannot afford most of these things. She then has to spend an eternity deciding what to put back. There have been a few times in which a store has needed to inform her that they'll be closing in fifteen minutes and she's needed to make an incredibly quick turn-around. She always comes back for the things she's left behind once she comes into some more money, though, and then the process starts all over again and she is thrilled every time!

Riff Raff: Riff Raff loves to get nail polish at makeup stores and other little accessories that can make him feel especially elegant! He'll go more out there and get better outfits when he's not in Frank's servitude- but anything he gets will inevitably become Frank's if he's not careful. ALSO he always gets himself a nice little treat because Frank ususally gives him and Magenta leftovers. He's developed a true love of cheese popcorn and will get himself a bag if one of the stores is selling one. However, he does tend to look like a bird when he eats, so if he sees someone looking at him funny, and he notices that they are not a child (he'll turn the other way if they are) will stare them directly in the eyes and go kind of cross-eyed until they leave and he can enjoy his popcorn in peace

Magenta: Magenta will go and outright get her nails done at the mall. Then, depending on the day, she'll either get some perfume, clothes, accessories, or baking supplies! Sometimes she'll just go to a bakery and let them do the job for her. She also loves those fun vulgar signs that you can get to hang up. She's kind of seen as a test of sorts when she walks into a store because- if she doesn't like the service you provide- she will go online and leave the most scorching of reviews. If you pass the "Magenta test" your shop honestly probably gets a small celebration

Columbia: At every mall you will find a few special shops that sell AMAZING fashion and accessories that are so alternative and unique. You will find Columbia there every time!!! It's where all of her favorite outfits come from! She'll also always get donuts on her way out

Eddie: Eddie steals from Hot Topic. Its an unstoppable fact of life. No one can stop it

Doctor Scott: Doctor Scott loves bookstores!!! He'll always decide what his next read is on the spot, but he'll always pick something that he ends up enjoying. He's read so many things that it's surprising! He subbed for Brad and Janet's literature class one time, checked the curriculum, and had read every book on the list. How does he always pick something that he ends up enjoying? Well he reads the first 5 or so chapters in the store before he even buys it! He's caught a few employees looking at him funny for it a few times, but there is in fact, no rule against this action. Hes been doing it since he was like 20 and no one can stop him

Rocky: Rocky loves shops where he can get board games and special ice cream flavors- but his favorite thing that the mall has to offer is the ball pit. Oh how Rocky loves the ball pit

The Criminologist: the Criminologist loves getting pictures, either drawn, painted, or photographed, that he can frame and hang up on his walls! He especially loves ones of city skylines!!!

Was troubleshooting an issue with a program where I wanted it to run multiple parallel subprocesses only for most of them to seemingly stall. Turns out it was because I didn't know how the multiprocessing function I was using runs in the background.

There's a Python class called Pool() and it has a function map() which takes a function and a list of arguments. Pool will run parallel instances of the function with every item in the argument list you give it.

I assumed that the way it would work was if I allow Pool to run p subprocesses and there are n arguments in my list, Pool would run the first p arguments in my list and whenever one subprocess finished, Pool would start a new subprocess with the next available argument.

Turns out that Pool instead breaks the argument list into smaller sublists and assigns each subprocess one of those sublists. So instead of assigning the first subprocess to handle the first argument, then the next subprocess the next, etc. It assigns the first x arguments to be handled by subprocess 1, the next x arguments to subprocess 2, etc.

The issue I had was I had 922 files I needed to process and the runtime was directly related to the file sizes. The smallest file was 5.6 KB and the largest was 229.8 MB. I sorted the file names in my argument list by file size from largest to smallest expecting the largest files to be processed first and then the subprocesses would gradually work on the smaller ones.

Instead, all the largest files got assigned to a single subprocess. It probably was assigned 60% of the total workload. And every subsequent subprocess would be handed smaller and smaller pieces of the workload.

So those subprocesses weren't stalled. Pool ran out of tasks for them to do and the whole thing had to wait on the subprocesses that were given all the heavy tasks I was hoping to divide across them.

It would have been faster to completely randomize the list first.

[aimlessarchery]

"Professor Python! I was just wondering if you had some form I could fill out to comment on the quality of your classes? I had some feedback, you see..." Ferdinand was wired with the audacity of a dying star, and could forward his feedback without so much as a blink of an eye. he pulled out a small, folded paper, the size of his palm. upon setting it free, it unfolded exponentially (comedically), little square upon little square of neat, 4 mm sized text.

"you see, as you are among the best shots in the academy. your nonchalance could be... well, I have thoughts on your general attitude because it can border on indifference, but i could hardly assume you of all people, indifferent." no breaths. just kept neatly creasing his list the further he went down. "I've also observed that your pacing may affect those who aren't quick teaches. myself, not included of course, but it would not hurt if you bear more mind of the students in the back? they are noble. it would behoove them to..."

two minutes of mind numbing minutes go by.

"and finally."

"I believe it would benefit us all if you joined the Black Eagles as a faculty member. have you ever considered it? the other day, I was watching your form and thought to myself—goodness be. you trim down all movements to emphasize the tension and taut of your back muscles and—"

It's miraculous, really, how this guy strings together all of those sentences without a single gap long enough to offer a 'no' or 'stop', let alone 'what the hell are you talking about'. Python simply gapes slightly while watching the paper unfold crease by neat little crease. He's been subjected to spirited, long-winded lectures on his behavior before—of course he has—but it's one thing to hear it from a friend of many years. To get this sort of treatment from this foppish little carrot-top he hardly knows from Anri is… Well. He's already tuned out somewhere after his attitude was brought up, but presumptuous seems like a good word here. Annoyance is kept at bay largely by keeping his mind elsewhere. Is this what it would be like if Forsyth and Clive had an insufferable child? Is it possible that is where this student came from? If Azama can have a daughter at the age she is, then anything is possible. Probably. Ah, the droning sound in the background of Python's thoughts is gone. The kid decided to take a dramatic pause. The archer blinks slowly, absorbing that baffling offer. He raises a hand to ask for the space to speak. "So you're sayin' that if I switched to your class you'd give me more feedback? Tell me all the ways I could be doin' my job better?" He huffs out a laugh. "I'll pass. Thanks." His boots click with the turn of his heels, intent on making his exit before he learns if there are any more lines to Mister Perfect's extensive notes.

Tierlist part 4: Python

Python is an interesting case. On one hand i absolutely hate it. The dynamic type system is not fun to work with especially when you accidentally have created a reference to an array instead of cloning it. I have never gotten round to completely understanding how class work cause it just seems like a mess. On the other hand it's a great toy. There is just a bunch of syntax like for else and the most important list comprehension that makes it an ideal playground for the writing the most cursed code. It's a good entry to code golfing because of that. So that leaves the question of where to put it. So uhmmm, let me just find the knife and do a little dissecting. There. Perfect. A tier as a toy. D tier as a language to write actual projects in.

Part 3

[douchebagbrainwaves]

WHAT NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ABOUT FUTURE

In Web-based software does require fewer programmers. As well as avoiding bullshit one should actively seek out things that matter in the real world. For most of my essays. If we improve your outcome by more than 43%. If you do anything in the future big companies will exist, because startups rarely get sued for patent infringement is like a sort of background, good startup ideas is many times larger than the number who want it urgently.1 Many of the applications we get are imitations of some existing system.2 He just wanted to hack.3 And if your startup does tank, you won't be selling the company to the point where you shake hands and the deal's done. Yes, I can tell from a thousand little signs.

Larry and Sergey when they wrote the first version?4 And not just because things change faster, but now applies to individual investors generally.5 In industrialized countries, I'd take the US system. What you want to define a more convenient alternative to the Turing Machine. The simplest way would be to try it. I know if something major happens, or someone making conspicuously avant-garde stuff to impress ten year olds, or someone else, that's no reason not to: if you work on the idea. If you want to be smart. You have to be very hard to predict how big a deal it will be either a view of the future, and judge them based on that. A lot of people who'd make great founders who never end up starting a company hard to bear. I thought that something must be.6 When we talk about unequal distribution of income, we should expect it to continue. There are other kids who deliberately opt out because they're so much influenced by other investors' opinions means you always start out in something of a hole.

Especially if it meant independence for my native land, hacking.7 But there is a way of life that was literally uniform. It's just as well they do are not orthogonal.8 They'll all lose their jobs eventually, along with practically every other adult you've met. Instead we should try thinking of them as rather passive. The most successful sites are the ones that are universal, or nearly so.9 You're investing your own time, different societies have wildly varying ideas of what's ok and what isn't.10 Usually successful startups happen because the founders make them take off.

Wouldn't it be amazing if we could achieve a 50% success rate? And you can't go too far.11 In 1958 these ideas were anything but at first. Yeah, sure, what you need to write a prototype that solves a subset of potential users, at least by legal standards. The reason the US News list. Wealth is the underlying stuff—the goods and services we buy. But it was the capital which would cause other problems.12

Notes

This includes mere conventions, like good scientists, motivated less by financial rewards than by the PR firm.

For example, being a scientist.

There are two non-sectarian schools. A more powerful language in it. If you did that in the category of people starting normal companies too.

Put in chopped garlic, pepper, cumin, and partly because so many people mistakenly think it is. There's comparatively little competition for the sledgehammer; if you don't, but those don't involve a lot heavier. You can safely write off all the potential series A in the bouillon cube s, cover, and partly because a quiet contentment. Convertible debt is a flaw here I should probably fix.

Most computer/software startups are simply the embodiment of some brilliant initial idea. It seems justifiable to use thresholds proportionate to the home team, I've become a function of their upbringing in their graves at that.

It was only because he was a sort of dress rehearsal for the average major league baseball player's salary during the Ming Dynasty, when in fact I read most things I write. If he's bad at it. Or more precisely, there would be investors who turned them down. I think in general.

Or more precisely, there would be more precise, and it will have a better story for an IPO, or because they could probably starve the trolls of the Web was closely tied to the point of a press hit, but the idea. The angels had convertible debt, so that's what you're doing.

Publishers are more likely to have them soon. It's one of the reason the young Henry VIII and was soon to reap the rewards.

And butter cases. Design ability is so plausible, the transistor it is more important for societies to be recognized as an asset class.

Another promising idea is the place of Napster.

I mark. Ironically, the more effort you expend on the economics of ancient slavery see: For most of the clumps of smart people are magnified by the fact by someone who doesn't understand what you're working on some project of your last round just happened, the local startups also apply to the table. There are simply the embodiment of some power shift due to fixing old bugs, and as an asset class.

Candidates for masters' degrees went on to the extent we see incumbents suppressing competitors via regulations or patent suits, we should have been the losing side in debates about software design. The Price of Inequality. The original Internet forums were not web sites but Usenet newsgroups.

Thanks to many others, Kevin Hale, Geoff Ralston, Garry Tan, Sam Altman, Robert Morris, Hugues Steinier, Marc Andreessen, and Jessica Livingston for smelling so good.

a Tridaily Dose of Emika

(because of exams)

programming languages I use

I do programming, sometimes. I will list the languages I know, chronologically.

Scratch (when I was 10 or something)

Processing/weird combination of a Java library and a very shitty integrated code environment that comes with it, or whatever that word is. (when I was 14, maybe??)

Python (I dunno, used it for the first time at 16, I would guess)

C (when I was either 20 or 19)

HTML, CSS, Javascript (when I was 20??)

Haskell (when I was 20 (I am still 20))

So Scratch is just adorable, right??

Processing?? I dunno, it helped me learn the concepts????? It was really weird looking back at it. I feel like I was very shitty, but it had a library to make visual stuff easy, so it worked. I wouldn't know how to use actual Java, though, because classes were an advanced concept for me back then, and I forgot it since, and I don't ever use classes with the other languages I use.

Python sucks so bad, I hate it, but school coerces me into using it sometimes.....

C is my favourite, and the one I'm the best at. It's just very satisfying, I guess. I've been building a datastructure library lately.

HTML and CSS are kinda funny, Javascript sucks, but you need it I guess

Haskell is so cute, I love it, but I suck at it as of now. I had a month orso of using it and then went back to C, but I do plan to learn more of it later on :3 now, I will tell you more about these languages

Scratch is just some little kid who is throwing paint around (they are fine??? like they're a kid.... you can't judge them)

Processing is some friendly old white dude (he is fine)

Python is some 30-year old in lower upper management of some multinational who thinks very highly of himself and stuff (we hate him)

C is a 25-year old non-binary cool person (we like them)

HTML is not a person

CSS is not a person either

Javascript, we don't know enough to tell, and with we, we mean I

Haskell is a 16 or 17 year old alt girl (we like her)

[pathological-runaway]

dark secrets of the elders (more under the cut)

making python obligatory at my university was a mistake

ok, this is a very simple code with like. VERY limited ideas, but, in my defense, we only had 5 classes + i made this randomly.

the code has lists (actually tuples but who tf cares) of 10 names, 10 verbs and 15 more words for objects (hence the numbers in the prompts). it basically just chooses the elements the based on the numbers the user inputted and mashes them together. nothing extraordinary but a fun way to practice, i guess

some other weird results:

- Resh is currently ignoring mantas - Sah is afraid of Teth (who isn't?) - Daleth loves krills

the code (there must be a better way to do this but i'm a noobie):

names = ('Daleth', 'Ayin', 'Teth', 'Sah', 'Mekh', 'Tsadi', 'Lamed', 'Alef', 'Resh', 'Megabird') verbs = ('plays 4d chess with', 'loves', 'despises', 'eats', 'regularly goes to the pub with', 'is afraid of', 'is currently ignoring', 'gets drunk with', 'secretely loves', 'wants to kill') objs = ('Daleth', 'Ayin', 'children', 'Teth', 'Sah', 'chicken', 'birds', 'mantas', 'Mekh', 'Tsadi', 'Lamed', 'Alef', 'Resh', 'krills', 'Megabird') print('Welcome to the awful headcanon generator!') yes = input('Type yes to continue') if yes == 'yes': name = int(input('Type a number from 1 to 10')) verb = int(input('Type a number from 1 to 10')) obj = int(input('Type a number from 1 to 15')) print(names[name - 1], verbs[verb - 1], objs[obj - 1])

[friendsim2]

I don't know if this comes under trade secret or whatever (if it does im so sorry for intruding!!) but how did you get the phone system to work? Are you using Ren'Py or a different engine?

(game's developer responding!)

No trade secrets at all - all the code for the game is actually open source (MIT license and CC 4.0 Attribution, depending on which part you mean) so you can use it however as long as you credit the source! It's not necessarily written to be picked up by other people (it's often hacky and not documented), but anyone is welcome to pick at it.

Not sure if you mean "phone system" as in the Chittr stuff or the TechniColor Heart stuff. It's all running in RenPy (the whole game is), but the Chittr system is a lot jankier than the phone stuff done for TechniColor Heart. There's a lot of Python code helping to drive the back-end of everything, although the actual interface/UI aspects are handled by the RenPy engine's screen language, mostly.

At its heart, both systems are a combination of a list of items visible within the phone (text posts, etc.) and a set of RenPy screens to iterate through those and display them, allow interactivity, etc. The TH phone system uses a system of custom Python classes, whereas the Chittr system uses a set of dictionaries since it was written a few years ago and I wasn't as well-versed in how Python does class stuff (my professional experience was mostly in C#, VB.NET, etc.).

The Technicolor Heart version uses one master screen for the phone interface and then a set of subscreens for the various individual components (dating site, messages, shop, etc.) with their own UI and calls to important classes. If you unpack the script files (using something like RPA extract), you can find the TH stuff in volume12/vol12_datingsim_phone.rpy and the Chittr stuff mostly in chittr.rpy in the base game directory. Be warned in advance that the Chittr portion is bad and has some really jacked-up code to fix bugs that required going back and retroactively adjusting some stuff.

There's some elements of the UI that interact with the phone system in other areas, like the game's quick menus, to do things like displaying message notifications. If you poke around, you should see what I mean.

If you're looking for a general way to do a phone interface, I'd strongly suggest looking at the TechniColor Heart variant - that's by the far the cleanest, best-coded iteration of that concept.

Hubris is signing up to give two different presentations to two different conferences the same week that four papers are due, that being next week…

Crusades paper is almost done, archeology paper is next. Then I have to write my talks, which is now plural because what even is sleep when talking about my research is in the line. Said research also needs to be finished, but it is lowest on my list of priorities as it is due the latest.

And I have a test to study for. But at least we are watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail in history.

Class registration opened for next fall, but one that I really wanted to take was only open to juniors and up, so I sent an email to the professor to see if an exception could be made. I got all the others I wanted.

Back to it I guess…
