Never watched anime. O_o
You aren't a good programmer.
Watched Monty Python, the whole thing, three years ago for the first time in my life.
You didn't watch it more than once? You aren't a good programmer.
And roughly at the same time, the classic Dr. Who.
You haven't watched the new series, so you could point out everything it does wrong and why classic is FAR superior? You aren't a good programmer.
Didn't get enlightened. The humor is good, so... what of it?
You aren't a good programmer.
(Returns to coding)
Um, excuse me, but good programmers don't do "coding", you monkey.

I watched the new series. They don't bring to me the nostalgic reminiscences about the 80s TV shows production, the music, decorations and shit, that the Seventh Doctor had.

the Seventh Doctor
I've only watched most of the new seasons, and am currently a couple of years behind. But the "nth Doctor" stuff has never managed to stick in my head. My kids have a better grasp of this, at least for the new guys.
But since this a key thing for programmers, I'm assuming that the good programmers use a zero based index. So now I have to ask: Do they have difficulty talking about the various Doctors with non-good-programmers?
-
I'm assuming that the good programmers use a zero based index.
I'm assuming good programmers know what base to use, depending on who they talk to...Floor numbering, for example. East of Poland, numbers go from 1 (where 1 is the ground floor). I moved out quite a while ago and still have wrong notion when someone tells me "on the 4th floor".
-
East of Poland, numbers go from 1 (where 1 is the ground floor).
Here in Germany, numbers go from 1 (where 1 is the floor on top of the ground floor).
-
0-based indexing for me.

hmm...
the elevator in my building goes
B, G, 3, 2, 4, 5, 6, P
not sure why it reverses 2 and 3, because 2 is a floor lower than 3, in spite of its place on the control panel.
-

How on earth does one even wire that up? Are the buttons just backwards, or does pressing "2" actually take you to 2?

Books were only C-canon, unless they were graphic novels, which usually made them S-canon until they were referred to in a C-canon source, elevating them to C-canon. N is explicitly non-canon, and D is less canon than non-canon. Fanfiction would be below D probably.

You push the elevator button with the 4 on it.

I love living in a hilly city.
This building in Seattle goes:
P4
P3
P2/ground floor
P1
1/also ground floor
2
3
4One building I worked in downtown had ground floors on 1 and 4.
Anyway, the point is: it doesn't makes sense to use G for "ground" without also using a number, because many buildings have more than one ground floor.
-
P2/ground floorP11/also ground floor
that's either a very long building, or one hell of a slope between one end of the building and the other to have a two floor difference in ground level.
round these parts i see a one floor difference occasionally, and near universally the elevators are marked
L
andLL
. i assume for Lobby and Lower Lobby, and then number the floor immediately aboveL

Half a block the long way.
Kind of a weird wedge-triangle shape the short way.
or one hell of a slope between one end of the building and the other to have a two floor difference in ground level.
That's a gentle slope compared to the building downtown which, like I mentioned, had ground floors on 1 and 4.
-
one hell of a slope
Note: I have no idea whether Blakey's building is in the first image; if so, it's merely coincidence. Both are just images I found on GIS for Seattle steep streets.
-

There are private houses not too far from here (around 20 miles) that have ground-level entrances on floors 1 and 3. OK, I have no idea if they use those numbers at all, but I've seen the layout from the road on the other side of the valley.
It's a very steep slope in a very narrow valley. Picturesque.
-
You're only a couple blocks off.
I guess I can show the building, since I haven't worked there in like 3 jobs and I'm pretty sure the company I was at no longer has space in it:
The photo doesn't really show you how steep the street is, you just kind of see it disappear downward.
-

I burned three gallons of fuel just thinking about driving up that hill.
-
As of that photo (summer 2015) they're finally working on cleaning it. Nice.
The Exchange building is, IMO, one of the most beautiful in Seattle (but I'm biased: I love art deco) and it's good to see it getting some much-needed care.

i've got a couple of those still with the AT connectors on that i'd like to resurect
That doesn't seem nearly as hipstery as getting an AT-to-PS/2 connector, and possibly a PS/2-to-USB one behind that.
-
FUCK YES I'M MAD ABOUT THAT!
[jimmies definitely rustled]
If I remember when I get home I'll update this post with the image, but I don't have it at work.
-

that's how i used them for ages. until the At-PS2 connector stopped working and i couldn't be arsed to fix it.
-
I can't see how anything that isn't in the movies could possibly be canon.
What boiled down to an editorial oversight board or something, IIRC. They did make an attempt for there to be a single internally and externally-consistent timeline across all the books, and that they didn't contradict each other, and in fact built on each other. It's actually quite impressive, especially in contrast to Star Trek, where someone was allowed to write a book that had McCoy call Spock "That sly son of a gun".
Or, like, the first few books, that had a plotline involving Kirk being invited into a group marriage. Yes, really.
-
Not to mention a lot of stuff from the EU actually made it back into the prequel movies and the Clone Wars show. This is what really makes everything messy. Even Coruscant itself was originally from the EU novels.
Apart from a few minor details, and the timing of the Clone Wars, it all synced up fairly well.

You just described about 1/4 of the entire state of South Carolina, among other places.

You're too young to be using Model Ms anyway. Why don't you go get something with Cherry Browns? Buckling springs cause cancer.

i cut my first teeth on a Model M.
granted i don't remember much of it(any of it really), but one of the Model M's i own still has the teething marks.
Why don't you go get something with Cherry Browns?
that's what i use at work.because if i was sadistic enough to inflict a model M on my coworkers they'd lynch me with the cord to my own keyboard
Buckling springs cause cancer.
thanks to Proposition 65 most things do.

that isn't how you kill with a model M. As I pointed out not long ago:

Yes, but I am talking about the kind you'd find in the rest of the world, not just in California's fevered imagination.

A shopping centre right next to my workplace works a bit like that - you enter it from the street from one side, go two floors up, and exit from the other into a park.
-

otherwise it's just hearsay.

Around here we have the sense to build on level ground instead of into the side of a hill. Whenever I hear a description like yours, I picture this:

There's no level ground within like 500 square miles of Seattle.
-
No place like Tibet.
-
Whenever I hear a description like yours, I picture this:
There's flat(-ish) ground around, but it's either low and very liable to flood several times a year or it's high and has a much more brutal climate. (I don't live there; my valley is one of the formerly-glaciated ones.)

Unicomp has replacement PS/2 cables, and some love with a conductivity tester will tell you what you need to build a USB one.

You push the elevator button with the 4 on it.
You'll have a hard time finding one of those in a residential building in downtown Vancouver. Because 4 is bad luck. 13 is also bad luck so most buildings skip straight from floor 12 to 15. In fact, a tall enough building will probably jump from 39 straight to 50 as well. Also 1 is usually L(obby) or G(round) and 2 gets missed for reasons, so the 7th floor is actually the 5th (L,3,5,6,7).

I know enough about RegEx to know it's literally impossible to write a correct validater for XML, HTML, CSS in it.
I know enough about bricks to know that it's literally impossible to construct a functional bedroom suite out of them.

TIL Vancouver is in East Asia
Well, it is on the Pacific Rim, so it would not surprise me greatly if it had a large population of East Asian immigrants. At least that was my thought on reading @tar's post, and it's the only thing I can think of that would make it slightly sensible. Otherwise, it's just , Canada?

Dealing with Dragons is a young adult fantasy novel written by Patricia C. Wrede, in which the

now Tom Tomson swaps teams and the new team says that all existing memorabelia is invalid and no longer official because they bought the rights to that momorabelia so they can do that. wouldn't you be upset too?
No. Not in the slightest.Unless I was collecting the memorabilia as an investment and the value tumbled because of it.
-
momorabelia
didn't you mean mamorabelia?
Like when you collect breast related items ... oh come on internet ... this is not a word? you are letting me down!

And answer your email using pine?

Yup. That was the email client I use when using the academic cluster (SunOS 5).
