damientrog: I've got a lisp background too :)
truff1es: ruby is foreign to me, i see what python can do
damientrog: that's true

damientrog: I can't count the languages I use
damientrog: any reason to prefer it to ruby?
damientrog: everybody knows the explicit self
Framedragger: oh wait that's not it.. fuck
damientrog: I absolutely hate the obligatory __self__ parameter in every method
Framedragger: they don't, and there's a way around it, but i was simply testing out a library
damientrog: absolute paths don't sound fantastic though
Framedragger: yeah could have been worse for sure :) still.. outcome much less epic than expected :(
truff1es: Framedragger thats not a bad problem to have imo
damientrog: apparently it's not that easy
damientrog: the guy who won cheated and admitted he took amphetamines
Framedragger: just spent >= 4 hours tracking a bug in an open source library (though, oh yeah i'll shine) only to learn that i should use absolute paths when invoking it. #storyofmylife
truff1es: i could do that!
damientrog: kinda reminds of a bet they did on TV here
damientrog: but it all seems unhealthy and kind of a bragging thing
truff1es: omg he's not gonna live long if he keeps that up

damientrog: and I think it's when you're in your 50s or something you start to really decline in sleep
damientrog: well once you get used to being woken up every couple of hours
damientrog: I like a good night's rest, 8-10 hours gone, but a clear mind the rest of the day

Chaang-Noi: dub did they say when they would ship the bigger units?
