cco3 | I've decided that if I ever right an autobiography, it will be totally factual, except that I will have the superpower to jump back in time 24 |hours and tell myself, "24 hours from now, you will be <insert implausible scenario that actually does come to pass>" cco3 | write* cco3 | So this future me will keep jumping back in time and telling me this crazy stuff cco3 | "24 hours from now, you will be totally lost in downtown Austin in a car you borrowed from a paranoid schizophrenic" cco3 | Stuff like that +telnoratti | You stole a paranoid schozophernic's car? cco3 | borrowed... cco3 | I was helping someone move, and he had the UHaul, and someone needed to drive his car to the UHaul place +telnoratti | he's paranoid schizophrenic I don't think he'd let you borrow cco3 | and I was the only one that could drive a stick cco3 | I guess his meds were working for him that day? +telnoratti | This story seems dubious cco3 | When I started up the car, it was one of those where you have to turn the key *just* right to get it to start cco3 | so after 5 minutes of struggling, I got it started, we rolled out of the driveway and I was following him cco3 | He starts to pull over at a gas station, and he's being pretty hesitant cco3 | I guess he doesn't know if the uhaul is too tall or he's having trouble seeing everything cco3 | so park and get out to help direct him cco3 | turns out he was just letting someone else in our party pass cco3 | I rush back in the car and try to start it cco3 | of course, I can't start it again cco3 | it takes me like 10 minutes to get the key to turn right cco3 | and this guy just doesn't notice that I'm not following him cco3 | luckily someone had given him my cellphone number and eventually he calls me and tries to direct me cco3 | but this is before GPS was everywhere, and I had only been in Austin for a month or so, and it's near midnight, and I have no idea where I am cco3 | After 30 minutes of driving around while trying to talk on a phone at midnight in an unfamiliar place, I finally made it there cco3 | but that was pretty stressful +telnoratti | you didn't know where you were goign so your solution was to just keep driving randomly? cco3 | telnoratti: yes cco3 | optimal algorithm cco3 | I don't think it'd be as bad now that I'm older, but back then I hadn't had a car for months and even driving was somewhat unfamiliar cco3 | I was so sure I was going to hit something and wreck his car -
cco3 | "Never declare a variable inside a loop." cco3 | That was a TA +ram | cco3: you knowledge-ed him/her correct? cco3 | ram: yea, I did cco3 | I was like, "You krazy, fool!" cco3 | and then explained about function stacks and stuff cco3 | and he was all like, "well they shouldn't be relying on these features of the language" cco3 | and then I was all like, "So what, should they declare every variable globally so it doesn't get recreated on each new run of a function" cco3 | and he was all like "blubber blubber blubber" cco3 | and I was all like *smack, smack* cco3 | And that's how that went
