[11:51] morning [12:30] morning [12:31] How's the morning so far? [12:34] it goes [12:34] That doesn't sound optimistic. [12:36] right down the drain [12:38] whee? [12:45] it's a fun ride eh? [12:56] very [12:59] Well, at least you're having fun. ;) [15:47] http://www.peppercarrot.com/en/article383/episode-19-pollution [16:43] <_stink_> question for you python people. i have *never* used the built in all() or any(). do you all use them? [16:44] once in a while [16:44] <_stink_> do you think it's less or more expressive than a more language agnostic set of booleans and operators? [17:21] my phone's sd card is corrupted :/ [17:26] greg-g: :( [17:26] _stink_: meh, I don't know I feel strongly about it personally [17:27] <_stink_> ok cool. just wondered if there was a sense of what the ecosystem uses. sounds like not. [18:03] all/any, almost never. maybe once or twice in 2yrs of pure python [18:04] _stink_: I definitely prefer all or any to a for loop and a conditional. [18:04] _stink_: part of the reason I hate Go is that you CANT build those expressive constructs. [18:13] i... don't think I have used any / all [18:14] filter/map/reduce? [18:17] i've used code where it woild be useful, but I don't recall using those words [18:20] That's cool though [18:21] It's like learning about contractions for the first time: now I want to find uses for them [18:22] greg-g: That sucks [18:23] last night it gave me the "no sd card inserted" error. After a couple reinsertions it's now saying corrupted.... no fun [18:23] Ugh [18:24] (insert joke about not having this problem with Apple / Nexus phones. :( ) [18:26] iphone wins again. no sd slot, no corruption [18:31] <_stink_> haha [18:52] Brick wins again! [20:00] cmaloney: jrwren yeah, but then my 128g (plus 32 internal) would be waaaaaaaay more money than I would ever spend on a phone [20:00] :) [20:06] greg-g: Oh I know. [20:07] It was the typical "so, um... *snort*, you know you urrrrmmm wouldn't have that problem... with an iPhone. errrrm" comment [20:09] i forgot the ;) sarcasm. [20:09] sorry. [20:10] i mean, its TRUE... but its true because with an iphone the answer is just: NOPE. [20:10] I want to... [20:10] NOPE [20:10] can i... [20:10] NOPE [20:10] I need to... [20:10] NOPE [20:11] yuuuup :) [20:11] the simple life, with a $700 gadget [20:15] sounds good to me ;] [20:23] rick_h_: Is it snowing by you? [20:28] cmaloney: was earlier [20:28] kk. JoDee looked at the radar [20:28] I think it's snowing north of you. [20:29] https://goo.gl/photos/cAMArAivTCt24i8s5 [20:30] ugh, i just looked at radar, that freeze line is too close. [20:33] jrwren: a-yup [20:33] jrwren: still got some plants that matter or just wary of cold? [20:35] greg-g: just not ready for the cold. [20:35] greg-g: i do have some peppers still out there on the plant :) [20:39] nice [20:42] I'm ready for the dandelions to be done getting jiggy on my lawn [20:44] cmaloney: upside! you just cheered me up. [20:45] the snow will cover up the proof that I'm the only one on the block who doesn't throw poison on the ground to kill broadleaf ;] [20:46] heh [20:46] Both of my neighbors successfully spray for dandelions [20:47] but my yard is not immune. [20:48] those murderers! [20:49] I dunno. Sometimes I feel like Dandelion Patient Zero or Typhoid Mary [20:50] cmaloney: heh yea I was that yard [20:50] but then bought in to being a yard snob [20:50] me too, but I don't care. [20:50] don't do it rick_h_ ! ;] [20:51] too late, trugreen bill is due about now [20:51] i like to think of my yard as a home for worms and slugs and other things birds like to eat. I want to attract all the birds, and I do. [20:51] meh, they come around anyway [20:51] the grass is only there until I replace it with something else [20:51] lots of worms [20:52] and bugs [20:52] you must have the good truegreen. [20:52] just not grubs, or dandelions, or ... [20:52] meh, they're average but they put stuff down that is > me not doing anything [20:52] nothing is better than me not doing anything ;] [20:52] well I tell myself I need a grassy yard so I can tackle the boy around and not come in all muddy [20:53] just grass stain-y [20:53] softer landing for old dad bones [20:53] I don't mind mowing the grass, but weeding shit makes me sad [20:53] If the mower / weed eater can't pick it up then it's dead to me [20:53] Just wet the yard before playing [20:54] problem == solved. [20:55] i love the clover and strawberry in the yard. I don't want to get rid of them, even if it means keeping the dandilions [20:55] hell, i try to feed the clover ;] [20:55] if there is a big patch, I don't mow it down, I mow around. [20:56] The only thing that I care about is not getting another citation for "noxious weeds" [20:56] *cough*Royal Oak*cough* [20:56] lol. [20:56] did you really? [20:56] <_stink_> OBnoxious weeds maybe [20:56] <_stink_> yelling at the dog walkers [20:57] buckthorn is about hte onlything I really don't like seeing, luckily, its easy to pull and doesn't spread like crazy [21:01] cmaloney: you doing CHC tonight? [21:03] Yeah [21:03] Planning on being there [21:03] Taking J to class in a few minutes [21:47] hrm... i just realized with comcast usage caps, now I'm going to look at EOM to see if I'm near limit and if not, download tons of shit I wouldn't have otherwise. [21:49] :) [22:19] jrwren: hah
