< guzzles> Powered by our patented "Global Interpreter Lock," the Python Foundation is pleased to announce TrollThreads, Python's latest language feature.
< guzzles> A collaborative effort between The Python Foundation and PyFLTK, TrollThreads ensures that no two routines in your program will ever run simultaneously or exhibit other threadlike behavior.
< guzzles> TrollThreads API should be almost instantly familiar to any developer with experience writing threaded code in other languages, with important added functionality. Namely, that it doesn't actually work.
< guzzles> Should you actually want to take advantage of traditional threading, please use the "subprocess" module and a clusterfuck of IPC or inquire in our IRC channel, where many helpful developers will angrily explain that threads are *obviously not what you REALLY wanted*.
<sXe> so, I was on Omegle today and I met a guy from India
<crosseyes> You don't say.
<sXe> He didn't speak English (go figure) but I asked if he knew any words.
<sXe> He replied with "Autobots, roll out!". No lie.
<LordFrith> If you need floating point math in your script, you need to begin writing in a complete language.
<grawity> Speaking of which. Is it bad when half of my script is bash, the other half is Perl?
<lautriv> grawity, as long as the third half is NOT VB, it's ok.
<grawity> Halves usually come in pairs of two.
<LordFrith> Someone programming in VB might not realize that.
#xkcd, approx. five minutes after a discussion involving quantum mechanics:
(DerpNauce) I love how #xkcd-masturbation is completely empty
(Random832) wait
(Random832) how did you manage to observe a channel in a completely empty state
(ellipsis) aaaand we're back to quantum mechanics, awesome
<fahadsadah> Sounds just like my chemistry gcse practical skills assessment
<fahadsadah> I caught fire and got 100%

<grg> acephalorrhachia
<grg> "congenital absence of the head and spinal column"
<spacey> yeah, I'd say that's pretty bad news
< nukes> damn, almost beat my best time on minesweeper
< nukes> only to be fucked over by a guess
< nukes> was the last two, and it could have been either
< nukes> nearly beat it by a fair margin as well, 90 seconds on expert
< nukes> compared to 2 mins
< iFarmer> Meh, was never any good at minesweeper
< iFarmer> Only recently found out what the numbers mean
-*- StoneCypher just found out that one of his favorite and one of his least favorite pieces of software are basically made by the same guy :(
<StoneCypher> PrinceXML and Opera.
<StoneCypher> i mean seriously, it's like finding out that hitler also saved eight million people from an asteroid
< iFarmer> I've come to the conclusion that the employees of my local library are idiots
< iFarmer> "Scan our QR code to browse our library database on your smartphone!"
< iFarmer> I scan the QR code. It says:
< iFarmer> "Scan our QR code to browse our library database on your smartphone!"

* tanuki_ wonders idly why HDSLRs don't pull rows from their sensors in a different order
<tanuki_>if we have a 10-line sensor, for instance, instead of pulling 1-2-3-4-5..., we could pull 1-5-10-3-7-2-9-4-8-6 or something
<tanuki_>it seems like that'd get rid of the worst part of rolling shutter: the diagonal wobble
<tanuki_>there'd still be some rolling shutter but it'd be distributed across the entire frame instead of being concentrated at the bottom
<dif>u should write up a technical white paper about this
<dif>instead of typing it on irc where it'll scroll of your audience's screen
<dif>i'll read it. i promise.
<tanuki_>Consider this a very rudimentary form of peer review
<tanuki_>Talking about it on IRC allows for an instant "it won't work because [reason], dumbass"
<tanuki_>instead of the whole months-long writing of the paper and submission to a journal for official peer review...
<tanuki_>just to be told the same damn thing: "are you really that much of a dumbass?"
<cwage>are you really that much of a dumbass?
<tanuki_>Yes. Yes, I am.
Judith: I sleep face down because my nose gets cold.

<mabb> my project has been research into "is this possible" for the first 3 weeks. Now it's moved onto "Hey, this might be possible"
<yicui> is it proven rigourously?
<mabb> more like proven religiously: I'm praying that this works
<Symantic> Envious i need help.
<Symantic> I have a extra internal hard-drive space in my laptop. I'm only using one.
<Envious> Okay?
<Envious> fill it with peanut butter,
<Envious> then it won't be empty.

<Chaos341> So many dick patterns will be made
