[01:27] <jrwren> cmaloney: end.find isn't a thing, but everything in ruby is an expression.
[01:27] <jrwren> the end is the end of the previous block expression.
[01:27] <jrwren> which happens to return a list/iterable, which is then .find being called.
[01:32] <cmaloney> Ah, that makes some sense
[01:32] <cmaloney> but the syntax is ugh. :)
[01:36] <jrwren> syntax only a rubyist could love.
[12:49] <cmaloney> morning
[12:57] <rick_h_> morning
[13:04] <jrwren> Good Morning.
[13:20] <_stink__> yo
[13:20] <Scary_Guy> yar
[15:49] <waldo323> good morning
[15:49] <waldo323> for a little bit longer
[17:12] <rick_h_> gah! /me stomps around and old man rants at "The problem with ... Time for a thread"
[17:12] <rick_h_> NO NO NO NO NO, I have something interesting thoughts to put down and share is NEVER "time for a thread"
[17:16] <brousch> What is the right time for a thread?
[17:21] <rick_h_> there is no such thing
[17:22] <rick_h_> seriously, a thread on twitter is what, seen across one day at most by folks? and then it's gone into the ether
[17:22] <rick_h_> and if it's interesting/thoughtful enough for a thread is it really meant to have a fruit fly life?
[17:40] <cmaloney> So blog about it. :)
[17:41] <cmaloney> And yes, I really hate when folks take to Twitter to string together 5+ thoughts into a Twitter thread.
[17:41] <rick_h_> I decided I'd rant in my safe place because clearly my opinion on it won't change anything
[17:41] <rick_h_> but it's nice to get it outside your head
[17:41] <cmaloney> Yeah, it's great for stream of conciousness
[17:41] <rick_h_> I deleted two different replies in twitter
[17:41] <cmaloney> but take those thoughts and put them into a blog post. :)
[17:42] <cmaloney> (assuming they're worth the trouble)
[17:42] <cmaloney> And if they're not worth the trouble then let them be ephemeral
[17:42] <rick_h_> heh, the blog post I'm working on is a reply to https://twitter.com/samuelclay/status/975921660258803712
[17:42] <rick_h_> that one bothers me so much
[17:43] <cmaloney> Oh FFS
[17:43] <rick_h_> it really bugs me on several levels and I have mad respect for Samuel
[17:43] <cmaloney> Go fart your way to work on your cloud of good intentions and smugness
[17:44] <cmaloney> and realize that humanity can fuck up at any time and you could trip on a crack and die
[17:44] <cmaloney> sorry, that came off rather strong
[17:45] <cmaloney> but I really love it when folks make not having a car a sign of privilege
[17:46] <cmaloney> Sorry that we live in Detroit and having a car is pretty much the only way to get anywhere in a reasonable timeperiod
[17:46] <rick_h_> that's one of the levels. I mean in the USA to be able to live a productive life w/o a car is kind of a 1% thing. I'm really curious what that % really is.
[17:46] <cmaloney> I'd also ask how many Ubers, Lyfts, and cabs he's hailed in the past year
[17:46] <cmaloney> oh wait, if he's used Uber then I could probably get that data
[17:46] <cmaloney> :eyeroll:
[17:47] <cmaloney> sorry we don't have sherpas and rickshaws to cart our butts around
[17:48] <jrwren> lol.
[17:48] <jrwren> its not why I don't have a car, but look at the pic, the guy is amish. don't let religious views bother you.
[17:49] <rick_h_> I don't think he's amish. He's SFO the guy behind newsblur and such. He was working on newsblur while I was starting bookie and his actually is a business lol
[17:49] <rick_h_> why I can't shake it off as random dude said something stupid
[17:50] <jrwren> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._cities_with_high_transit_ridership
[17:51] <cmaloney> 33.1%
[17:51] <cmaloney> Honestly I don't enjoy owning a car. It's kind of a pain in the butt
[17:52] <cmaloney> but it's better than the other options and I enjoy being able to hop in the car and go where I want to go
[17:52] <jrwren> Ann Arbor 11.2% !!!   #31 on the list.  hehehehe
[17:52] <cmaloney> if someone came up with a better way to take my will to be somewhere and transport my butt from point A to point B with reasonable safety and low ethical cost I would be quite happy to ditch the car
[17:52] <cmaloney> and quickly
[17:52] <jrwren> working at home, it made NO SENSE for me to keep a car. I can take lyft or the bus and still spend less than I was on insurance alone for a paid off car.
[17:53] <cmaloney> Until then I'll burn dinosaur remnants
[17:53] <cmaloney> Totes
[17:53] <cmaloney> for a while we only had one car
[17:53] <cmaloney> then I started at Morpace and we had to get a second car
[17:53] <cmaloney> I didn't enjoy that
[17:53] <rick_h_> jrwren: how much stuff does your daughter have to do?
[17:54] <rick_h_> jrwren: that was what killed me when we had one car in the shop
[17:54] <jrwren> rick_h_: wife has a car.
[17:54] <jrwren> we never have a car in the shop.
[17:54] <rick_h_> was the kid stuff that had to be worked around for swim, shopping, soccer, etc
[17:54] <rick_h_> jrwren: so either I had to take my wife to work and back each day or we needed that second vehicle back
[17:54] <jrwren> gymnastics, girl scouts, those would be expensive lyft rides for sure, but still less than the cost of keeping a car.
[17:55] <rick_h_> but when she's rotating between hospital/office/etc she needs a way around
[17:55] <jrwren> Yeah, it is not for everyone for sure.
[17:55] <jrwren> I'm not trying to shame you or say, you should try this.
[17:55] <rick_h_> I guess that's the advantage of the lyft being in a more densely populated area
[17:55] <rick_h_> no, I'm generally curious as I know you have a kid and are pretty active in stuff
[17:55] <rick_h_> e.g. you seem to get around and post to instagram well enough, curious if that's all full family time or what
[17:55] <jrwren> yup, i'm never more than 2mi away from a lyft driver, and usually less than a mile.
[17:56] <jrwren> rick_h_: I've taken the bus to at least one of those games at crysler center that I posted to IG this year :)
[17:56] <rick_h_> I had thought about one day trying to be a one vehicle family
[17:56] <jrwren> but mostly it is full family time.
[17:57] <rick_h_> I think the big thing is less that it's cheaper but the time involved to organize 3rd party transit and the unknown on if you can get it or not
[17:57] <jrwren> You are dead on right re: kid stuff. My Kid's 2 best friends from school live outside of our school zone, they are school of choice, and so instead of being a 20min walk away at most, they are a 20min drive away :(
[17:57] <rick_h_> so we pay more for that second vehicle for predicability and more time at home vs managing the transit
[17:57] <rick_h_> yea
[17:58] <jrwren> yup, I worried that unknown was going to be an issue for me, but so far it hasn't been.
[17:58] <jrwren> But I can also walk home from downtown in about an hour, so it really is not an issue.
[17:58] <rick_h_> yea
[17:58] <rick_h_> that's where I'm curious what percent of the US population lives in a place large enough to do that
[17:58] <jrwren> and the bus stop is 1/8mi from here. I can hear the bus use its turn signal, sometimes even when the house is closed up and the air is right :)
[17:59] <rick_h_> lol
[17:59] <jrwren> It is a good question. I think you'd only need to know what % of US Population lives in areas with good public transit.
[18:00] <jrwren> IIRC most of USA population does NOT live in NYC, LA, Chi, Hou, Pho, Phily, SanAn, SD, Dallas, SanJose, Austin
[18:01] <jrwren> just looking at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population  I don't know about public transit in some of those top 10 cities, but when I visited Austin and Jax (admittedly a while ago now) they were NOT public transit cities, adn CBUS is #14 on taht list?  pffff... no way.
[18:01] <jrwren> sheesh I didn't realize cbus had grown so much!
[18:02] <jrwren> bigger than detroit by population now?!?
[18:03] <rick_h_> well not sure if it's grown or DTW has shrunk :)
[18:04] <jrwren> yes, i think I was misinformed on cbus size. I thought it was much smaller.
[18:08] <cmaloney> For those of us who aren't familiar with acronyms: CBUS=?
[18:09] <cmaloney> Ah, Columbus
[18:09] <cmaloney> yeah Columbus is hopping
[20:01] <brousch> cmaloney: Mastodon is getting some press due to the latest Facebook scandal
[20:10] <Scary_Guy> good
[21:29] <Scary_Guy> https://asciinema.org this seems useful
[22:57] <cmaloney> brousch: Awesome. :)
