after working on a program for a really long time in emacs, then going to write an essay for another class in MS Word and pressing ctrl-k to cut the line of text following the cursor.
it doesn’t work.

Yeah, missing out on the return of the sun can be bad, but scheme is so cute why do you hate it?
oh no I love scheme! its one of my favorite languages I’ve learned so far… but my assignment is to write a meta-circular interpreter. which makes everything full of suck.
its like that yo dawg meme but less fun.

the first warm sunny day in weeks and I have to lock myself in a lab with the blackout shades down to work on a project thats due in less than two days.
~ because if I had the shades up I would be able to see the sunny day and know that I can’t enjoy it which would make me sad.
oh right, today is valentine’s day. so here is Ryan Gosling with a programming pick-up line.
can you guess why I’m single
first time grading labs as part of my new TA job:
well I’m supposed to be doing computer science homework…
“write a POSIX Basic Regular Expression that describes the syntax for all integer literals in C++.”
LOL NOPE.
“write a POSIX Basic Regular Expression that describes the syntax of real numbers in which either the integer part or the fractional part can be empty, but not both.”
TUMBLR TIME.
“write a context-free grammar in Backus-Naur form that describes the syntax for integer literals in C++.”

looked over my computer science homework.
regarding the “key code”…
not gonna lie, as somebody who is currently studying computer science, I was getting a little annoyed with the whole I HAVE A CODE WHICH UNLOCKS EVERYTHING idea. first of all, the three places Moriarty cracked have probably some of the best security in the world and in all likelihood are on closed networks which cannot be accessed via the internet. secondly, REALLY? tapping out BINARY on the arm of a chair gives you this magical key? binary by itself is pretty much useless without a way of interpreting it - are they numbers? letters? are you tapping out your magical key in goddamn machine language? not to mention if either of them were off by just a bit the code would be completely wrong. because binary hates people. surely the writers would have done better research than that and not pull the whole “LOL nobody understands computers anyways so we can get away with it” thing.
tl;dr : THANK GOD THE WHOLE ‘KEY’ THING WAS JUST MORIARTY BEING A DICK.
