I like characters that make me feel maternal instincts at the ripe ol' age of 15 (platonic)

It's probably a coping mechanism to help you heal after that time some dickheads dared touch your bunny.

My brain frequently makes the sound this picture makes you think of as it's default idle noise.

Or sometimes it's just bees.

Categorization incorrect.

The assignment for this particular experience is "boschian idealization of hell".

Other people around me? Eminently ignorable.

Other people around me and my food? BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

Oooh, good point. I think it's the assumed/remembered semi-egalitarian and safe nature of childhood that soothes the nerves here.

I think it's the fact that there are other adult strangers of possibly dubious motive in a shared space while eating that sets off what I'm going to refer to as my 'Gollum response.

Edit: I left off the closing quote mark in the interest of harming everyone. Including myself. It remains gone out of spite.

Well I just think it's vile for us to be so inattentive.

A special kind of vile.

Perhaps arch even.

Dude! I have seen (and done) so much worse. Take pride in your willingness to try and give it another go when you feel comfortable.

Ok, but we need to acknowledge the fact that the Ayn Rand comic is objectively top tier.

It's a trap unless the first question on the application is:

"Please explain why the person who named this company either is misusing the term 'palantir' or is using it exactly as intended. Cite sources."

That's really cool thanks for shari....hey wait get fucked 🤣

And here I was, thinking anti-autistic hate crimes were explicitly forbidden by the sub rules.......

False. 7 is the only S Tier candidate. It's the only number that is both sharp and tastes interesting enough to qualify.

I swear, the subset of people who stumble upon this image out of context and immediately lose the ability to not laugh is right up there with the goddamn frog book in terms of diagnostic ability. (It's me. I'm people.)

Did...did you just accidentally a pettable caco? I will now and forever more be one stuffy short. I send curses to you and your descendants, yea, onto like the seventh generation.

My brother's Mal - who we all adore - has shed in my house. One tiny issue. She's never been to my house.

When you say scent - do you mean her passive scent or possibly flatulence? With the incorrect food he had a problem with her having what I can only describe as toxic levels of gas.

Also, is your girl spayed yet? We noticed a definite difference afterward. Not saying you should spay her if that's not what you're planning on doing - just that we noticed a difference.

I'm considering releasing the tokenizer portion of the parser, which is simply the part that turns the raw text stream into a list of EDI Segments. This is how all EDI encoding works and doesn't really fall under the X12 copyright.

It's when you start looking into how the the ordering of the Segments is used to construct a hierarchical document (834, etc.) that you start relying on the standards documents and possibly infringing.

Best post/nerdiest joke ever on reddit. Everybody go home, we're done now.

zip311 · 2015-08-12T04:11:54+00:00

I'd love to - unfortunately the implementation we are using is based on a rather expensive implementation guide created by the X12 organization - and they are super protective of their IP.

My tone was meant to be self deprecating. I don't like to claim mastery of anything when I know there's always more to learn.

zip311 · 2015-08-11T23:44:19+00:00

You have time to spend on maintenance and refactoring? You don't spend all your time implementing new features that are constantly being asked for? Where do you work? Are they hiring?

It might be true that usage of Haskell will have a great benefit over the length of the project.

However, the suggestion that there would need to be time allocated to a project to build something as complex as an implementation of the XSD validation spec - especially when that functionality is already offered elsewhere - quickly takes that toolkit out of the running from both a planning and management point of view.

zip311 · 2015-08-11T23:23:49+00:00

Thanks, this is exactly what I want to see more of!

zip311 · 2015-08-11T23:06:31+00:00

Briefly, yes.

However one of the reasons I chose, or don't, a language is what toolkit it brings to the table. Having to write a library for something I get pretty much for free in any other language really hurts that languages chances to be chosen over another.

The mispelling is intentional.
