Sleep-deprived translation from train conductor to heavy weapons guy

We had a defective car earlier; the brakes were not releasing.

CART IS NOT MOVING

So a burning smell may linger.

FIRE

But this is a good train.

Thank you for reporting a bug in $FOSS

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 09:54:29 -0500

We don’t triage our bugs in a timely manner, and $FOSS may well have been rewritten, fixed, or simply deleted in the four years during which this bug has lain stagnant in our system. We actually did mark this as “Triaged” four years ago, but that must have been a fluke. The upstream author of $FOSS has closed the bug with no meaningful resolution, so we are forced to do the same.

Please repeat this process with identical results if you continue to enjoy $FOSS.

On MacBook running 10.7, set scrollbar visibility to “Automatically based on input device”. Hibernate the machine. When it comes back, the scrollbars will act as if you do not have a trackpad, until it’s fully restored and then the scrollbars disappear.

So I’m playing the Zeratul missions Wings of Liberty, and I’m imagining that the Protoss are talking in iambic pentameter, since they use such poetic language and the meter is close enough. Now for the next few days, I’m going to read in Zeratul’s voice everything I see in iambic pentameter.

Ruby:

foo = 5 if false
foo # => nil
# Merely passing an assignment defines the variable, even if it does not execute.

Python:

foo
if False: foo = 5
# The first expression raises UnboundLocalError

In this case, Python is more strict, since you don’t get implicit nil everywhere, but ruby is less surprising, since all execution paths declare the variable.

Today we are going to talk about properties of things.

So if A is a property and B is a thing, we can talk about the A-ness of B.

Oh phooey, that sounds terrible, we better pick different letters.

OK, so let P be a property and Q be a thing…
