Just tell her it's a date when you get there.  ;P
I think I'll just ask around - being able to do that is one of the advantages of sharing friends and aquaintances. Hell, one particular guy practically is my man on the inside* :p

*Metaphorically speaking, of course.

yeah i'm pretty sure one of the main thrusts of dating is that eventually you'll become the man on the inside

Cat is still outside. It's ~40 degrees F (~4 degrees C) outside. Go home cat. We can't let you stay here.

I put a blanket out which he snuggled up in. Hopefully if he stays sitting outside our front door tonight that'll be enough to keep him warmer. Stupid cat, go home.

Due to a typo, I generated my data wrong. It takes about 6 hours per set, and I need 2, so I'm not going to be done with replacing it until tomorrow night, leaving me with Friday afternoon to do all my analysis and rig up the fancy charts I need. Which complicates things, given all the family stuff I have to do tomorrow night and on Friday.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

How much data are you generating for it to take six hours?

Only about 44 million numbers, but there's multiple calls to RNGs in each of them and in almost all one of those is cryptographically secure so it's slow as balls. Plus, I haven't optimized like, at all. I could do pretty well if I could into multithreading, but I can't and I'd spend way more time than I have learning how.

No, it has nothing to do with cryptography, I'm just being totally asinine about adding random noise, so it's my fault really.

...why would you need 44 million random numbers?

the galactic empire is pretty big

even a sample size of a million people is insignificant compared to a population of one hundred quadrillion, and i need 22 numbers apiece for reasons, and two datasets (pre- and post-treatment)

That sound pointlessly overcomplicated.
yeah probably

As I go to retouch on some of my old projects, I'm feeling somewhat nostalgic over forum-times of the past. I've had some pretty good times here, but I miss them. I left some things alone for too long, or other people moved on. I guess I've since had some fun times on the lower boards. But I don't think I've ever quite recaptured the fun of some earlier things.

I just watched the finale of Fargo season two and the last few episodes of True Detective season two.
That was some heavy shit. Although honestly this is probably more of a Happy, since they (especially True Detective) were such great shows. I certainly hope True Detective gets renewed for a third season... such an excellent series.

I stand by my suggestion that you're worrying about this too much , miauw. You get two weeks away from school and you're sad about it because of liking a girl. Lovey-dovey shit is supposed to make people happy or some naive thing like that.

I'm kinda hypocritical though. I remember being like that, lovesick or whatever you'd want to call it. Got over it, though. Didn't get the girl either, but I honestly don't regret that. Now I just think it was stupid of me to get so stressed out and stuff - for months and years - over a girl I didn't really know or talk to who now, after graduating high school, I will probably never ever ever see ever again.

Guess what I'm trying to say is that, based on my experience, what may seem to be a huge deal and very important to you now could seem like a really silly thing to get worked up over, when looking at it in hindsight years later.
so you're saying i'll hate myself later over this?

anyway, if i could just stop caring like that i might have already done that :x

@miauw: No, he's saying that he was able to move on.

Same feelings shared here :-\ I'm very glad I can feel and recall what I first felt upon visiting and reading what others have done here, and looking at what I've done too, in...comparison.

It's a motivation to do better, and to learn from...as constructive as I see it. Especially when you consider the full situation on 'why' this happened in examining yourself. My tiny sad here is that I lack online time recently, but am busy writing and reading offline.

Still will have fun times here, considering those present :D

But argh, brevity in me posting x-x
