also why do people think they can flee to Mexico? Mexico will arrest you and ship you right back to America.
because they think it's a lawless shithole

the only thing the media up here talks about in mexico is drug cartels running rampant

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“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.

Walter Mondale wrote a column for WaPo today. I had completely forgotten Walter Mondale was still alive.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Yes, but he admits its taking a while, as they have to route them through those Islamist terrorist training camps first.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Yes, they have a good reason for it!

Nah, just kidding, it's some bullshit excuse about who it was made for.

Getting seriously annoyed at one of my coworkers. Doesn't nothing but bitch and moan, mostly about another coworker who works more slowly but has a justifiable reason for it. However, he doesn't seem to respect that, and instead works as slowly as possible to match. Since both of these people are primarily responsible for rolling merchandise to the sales floor, the end result is the production area is heavily backed up, requiring other people in the chain to clear it up. This is actually a serious problem, since we have been having trouble making our production quotas, and probably in no small part due to this. If this guy got off his fat ass and actually put the same effort like everyone else does instead of interrupting everyone else just to complain, we actually would not get so backed up.

A few weeks ago, when the payroll service that handles our paychecks had some kind of issue that caused our paychecks to not get posted until some time in the afternoon, he bitched up a storm about how he should not have to work, he has no money to pay bills, etc. At one point, he felt that because he had to take over from the same coworker he constantly complains about, he should be receiving their entire paycheck. This guy really needs to stop feeling so entitled to everything.

Today was the worst so far, some of the things he said were starting to sound like threats.

It would have to be bullshit. There is no group of people I can imagine that would be uncomfortable with indices starting at 0, but which could still comfortably handle implementing classes in Lua.

EDIT: Unless there's a group of people that just don't need object-oriented programming. Which is possible, it's just such a ubiquitous paradigm that it didn't even occur to me.

Some sort of engineer, IIRC, which is definitely in the realm of "mostly only works in procedural programming".

Also, the steam controller makes these silly saw wave ditties when it turns on. I was like "woah, wait, it has a speaker, nobody ever said that", but that's because it doesn't, it just vibrates its haptics at high frequencies to make music.
