whee hacking

I posted this on Google+ 3:04 AM today

it must be a great idea to share a log of hacking at 1 am to an unknown time because i'm not done yet.


hacking at 1:05 am. i need caffeine. -1:05
i should keep a journal in my status… or not. all am of course -1:06
saying rude words to "No match" code completion is satisfying -1:10
oh god. my code sucks. -1:14
just realized "inefficient" is the word i was looking for. i was going to put those in single quotes, but i'm in programming mode and that would generate a build error because "inefficeint" is a string not a character -1:16
build > 5 build errors > ffffuuuuuuu > o wait just a if statement i was in the middle of writing. no big deal -~1:19i was originally doing this in my gmail status, but i ran out of characters in the middle of the above entry (it cut off at "in the"; middle wasn't there) -1:24
oh god. why am i even doing this? -1:44
wow. it's 2. just wow. -2:00
horror = 52 lines of code (made up of 1 if statement and 25 else if statements) to manually convert all 26 letters to their numerical counterparts (a = 1, b = 2, etc) - 2:11
changing the numbers from my 25 copy/paste operations was significantly easier because it didn't try to code-complete all of it -2:12
wow, i'm using assertions. i feel so hardcore. if i ran assert(programmer.hasALife); it'd crash -2:17
yeah, i felt like abort(); just wasn't doing it -2:17
also, got my first warning. i've never gotten warnings, only errors. -2:18
so tired… -2:19
it's 222. -2:22
does c++ use methods or functions? -2:25
had to try twice before i typed - instead of = on that last one. my typing skills are degraded, i can tell… i should go to bed. -2:26
my comments are unbelievably vague. "set plaintext value i" and "perform algorithm" aren't extremely helpful -2:29
lol. "//make sure key[i] exists, mostly because I like using assertions" -2:33
i'm hungry. cookies. -2:51
alright screw this. i can't concentrate enough to get anything done. -3:03
hey! 303! a palindrome! -3:04
bye -3:04

Dear my Friend

1. Thanks for writing here; I enjoy reading your stuff

2. I remember when you took that picture in carpool

3. Muscle Milk is disgusting.

Yes. There is such a thing.

Personalities

Hi there.

So today I was wondering...what if people looked like their personalities?

Obviously, this led me on a tangent (obviously): Some physical attributes are supposed to indicate different personalities. For instance, big eyes=innocence because big eyes=babies and babies=innocent. There are other things like this, where deep set eyes may indicate a mean predator type. I have no idea why really. Anyway, the point is there are natural occurrences of genetic personality in some people. 

However, the guy with the deep set eyes may be a big hearted man who volunteers at an animal shelter and bawls watching the Kony 2012 video. 

That teenager with the big eyes may be the girl who steals boyfriends and spreads rumors about other girls behind their backs.

Coming back to my real question: what if every individual had certain physical attributes that were markers of definite personal characteristics? What if people looked like their personalities?

The guy who volunteers at the animal shelter would have the eyes of the teenager, and the teenager would adapt the eyes of a predator.

What else would be a sign? Hands? Hair? Eyebrows? Bone structure? I have no idea.

Then I was wondering, would boys who were innocent and need protection get "girly" characteristics? How would it change perception of "girly" and "manly"? 

Next on the thought process: the Botox industry would be booming. Thoughts? I wonder if this would make everyone look the same. Because there would be definite physical markers, if someone wanted to look kind, they would just need to visit their plastic surgeon. Would the influx of Botox users make plastic surgeons more or less expensive? Probably less. 

I wonder what models would be expected to look like.

Well guys, thats it for today.

Any thoughts can go in the comments :)

Hi youtube and alex. Well, I guess I should say Blogger and Alex. Let me start again.

Hi Blogger and Alex.

I'm Alex's Friend.

You--blogosphere, nerdosphere, and all others--have been graced with my presence. I will be contributing every now and then :)

I'm going to be honest with you, I have no idea how to blog. I can barely keep a journal. (I tried to keep one and it basically ended up being me talking about humbao. Good job, me. Though to be honest, humbao is amazing. Even if I have no idea how to spell it.)

You are probably going to see a lot of these (just a preemptive warning):
( )
:)
random vocabulary
rants about humbao
me not knowing how to spell humbao
lists.
That last one may or may not be accurate. I have no idea. More lists? Less lists? Maybe.

Well, signing off for now, alex or blogosphere or nerdosphere or whoever you are.
See you soon.
