i hate computers.

mostly I hate having to make computers deal with people. they're so fussy, weird and arbitrary. insisting on leap seconds, time zones, weird calendars, and a whole bunch of legacy crap.

computers talkting to computers on the other hand is relatively straightforward.

i guess i had this childish naïveté, that a computer was a lever big enough to move the world. now I just kinda see it as the product of social factors and legacy compatibility.

You can get a lot of enjoyment out of working with the crazy human requirements if you look at them the right way. While it's a real challenge to fashion an elegant solution to horrifically complicated socially driven requirements figuring out a clean way of handling it is a real treat.

For example, if you think of time stamps as a measurement with a compound unit (milliseconds from the epoch in X time zone regime) a lot of the complexity with DST and time zones cleans itself up.

Leap seconds though, gently caress that noise.

Gotta get hired in some megacorp's R&D department then. I knew of some Senior Members of the Technical Staff at IBM when I was an intern there that hadn't worked on anything that a person touched or interacted with in like 25 years.

hrm if only I could work for somewhere turning out new ideas but not actually putting them into practice, maybe with a valve like structure.

then they could turn a profit from patenting them and suing anyone who actually makes it work in practice.

Python's unicode implementation details are actually kind of cool, although one can argue about how good an idea it is to make string ops go through a vtable (it's fine you big baby)

there's three different implementations of 'str' and it uses the implementation with the narrowest fixed-width encoding that can represent all code points in the string



python is still a toy though, static typing rules dynamic typing drools source code navigability ftw
