I have a warm cup of tea.

I have a warm cup of tea.

I just finished mine. I should get another.

In tea news, my new favorite is Chocolate Cream Truffles from ESP emporium. One of the best flavored teas I've had in a long time.

And so my friend showed me how to gba emulate on an ipad. Now I shall finally play the super robot wars games!

I whole-heartedly support this moment of happiness (and rub my hands with evil glee due to the R-Gun Rivale). It's a shame that only two of the games were released in North America though (not counting the spin-off rpg or the fan translations of 1, 3, Alpha Gaiden and J obviously).

Protip: SP Regenerate and Attacker weren't buyable after OG2 for a reason.

Protip 2: Ryusei's campaign is canon, while only the first half of Kyosuke's is.

Protip 3: I am a huge fucking nerd.

Stallone and Schwarzenegger, both action heroes have intense harmony on screen. They complement each other with their histrionics and banter. While Schwarzenegger is charismatic and chirpy, Stallone broods with his constantly grumpy mannerisms. What’s more? The exposition of Breslin’s motive is lost in Stallone’s drawl, thereby killing the entire emotional spirit of the tale.

You're trying to get me to watch the movie, stupid bot

Is the Rangzen any good? I can't decide if I should use it or not.

Is the Rangzen any good? I can't decide if I should use it or not.

If the Rangzen is what I think it is (some kind of space fighter) then the answer is that it's a fighter plane in a game about giant robots fighting each other. In other words ignore it (through some quick research indicates that it could become a really dodgy healer if you really felt the need for one).

EDIT: I really need to LP OG1/2 sometime. The series has a lot of crazy/awesome shit that has accumulated over the years but isn't in those two games.

Aw, you got me.

I would totally click those links if I saw them on a page.

So I've been at my current job for 6 months (longest held job I've had since I got out of the Marines in 2009) and my boss pulls me to the side and says he has a job performance review for me. We are supposed to get them every 3 months, but for whatever reason they forgot the 3 month one and just rolled the 3 and 6 month reviews together.

Anyways, out of 12 categories to be rated, like job performance, knowledge, initiative and such, I got an outstanding rating (top of the scale). The other 2 I got an exceeds expectations (next lowest), for an overall rating of outstanding.

Then my boss tells me to keep it up and work on becoming a lead, and I get a 50 cent raise for my hard work.

Lich180 has been ecstatic lately. He has been satisfied at work recently.

That looks amazing. I've been drinking some nice Darjeeling. Never really tried any of those fancy blends, but might have to now.

Well, that company has some good stuff. I've been happy with pretty much everything I've ordered from them so far.

Picked up a big bag of candy at post-Halloween clearance prices. Probably the only good thing that happened today :/

No sales in my area, the shelves have all been cleared already.

Normally I'd blame it on them making room for Christmas stuff, but Christmas stuff has been up since late August~early September.

This is amazing.

One method is to use purrincipal catponent analysis, in which we build a pawsitive definite matrix and extract its eigenvectors. But the problem is that it is not spurrse. We want a spurrse basis¹. To get the spurrse basis we use the latest in optimization algorithms, Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO) (Chu et al., 2006). A variant of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) (Kennedy & Eberhart, 1995), CSO has been used on many applications, including system identification (Panda et al., 2011) and clustering (Santosa & Ningrum, 2009).
CSO is based on the behavior of cats. Through extensive research, it was found that cats spend most of their time sleeping, giving humans dirty looks, and observing the environment. Only when a tasty animal or laser pointer appears does the cat expend energy pursuing a target. CSO refers to these behavioral modes as “seeking mode” (seeking something to attack) and “tracing mode” (actively chasing a target). By randomly sprinkling N cats in the M-dimensional solution space, letting them chase high-dimensional entities, and creating copies of the most fit cats², CSO achieves significant gains over alternate optimization approaches (e.g., Mewton’s method).

Oh my God.

... Okay, I'll stop now.
