@coriander I passed a qualifying exam for a physics PhD and I still get basic arithmetic wrong

@monorail I leave all sorts of notes in my reports but aesc never reads them so I'm glad somebody is now reading my notes

re: autism 

@Breakfast this has been my exact experience as well

I would like to wish today's nyt connections a very fuck you

@coriander I was not familiar with the Tropico franchise I now understand thank you goblin

@vaporeon_ @aescling when it comes to python internals getting nasty the first things that come to mind are the import behavior which is bizarrely complicated, or metaclasses

@vaporeon_ @aescling despite my constant slander of it OOP is good

but forced OOP is very very very bad

@aescling @vaporeon_ but in python you don't need to know that to get going. in java you have to understand some things about how classes work to even write a hello world

@aescling @vaporeon_ and while i love python and javascript once you start looking into internals they get complicated and ugly and weird, while java is like the opposite. its unwieldy and ugly but the advanced features are usually fairly straightforward to learn

@aescling @vaporeon_ there is a "purity" to java i somewhat admire in how hard it commits to object-oriented programming but i would be lying if i said i found it enjoyable to write
