somehow insertion sort is faster than quicksort in Scratch

I bet the recursion is the fault

hi all - just a little update on the situation with my raspi

i did indeed screw stuff up, and i did lose some data. my raspberry pi has been fully reset, but I have some data still. some of the scripts that post to the bots i own have been corrupted, notably breakingbot and @esben’s riddlebot. i have also lost the code that i use to train @markovmoney, though the model (albeit a slightly older version) + runner still exist. i also have a slightly modified version of the code, so i should be able to restore it.

anyways. i hope to get everything back, but no promises.

brick by brick.

The WALL·E subtitle I have (don’t ask where I got it) translates “Get out the brilliantine and dime cigars” as “Take the brilliantine and one-tenth dollar cigars”

I find this absolutely verbose so I changed it to “Take the brilliantine and ten cents cigars”

Imagine being so busy you have to delegate the task of arranging an appointment for some to your phone assistant.

And no, it’s not just putting an appointment on your calendar. I mean your phone literally calling someone you asked, then having a conversation with your own voice (!) to arrange an appointment to the caller.

Apparently this is in development (or if not, already implemented). I’m not sure if I should be amazed or freaking out. (The announcement could be a joke though.)

It used to be difficult for personal computers to do more than one thing at a time.

Starting with Windows 95, it’s easy.

Start multitasking. Start Windows 95.

In my technical math midtest I’ve been asked to turn a circle at an offset into its “ball coordinate” representation and at first I was confused about what this ball coordinate means

10 minutes left and I figured it’s probably polar coordinates, so I did that (it had a nice cancellation as well)

Some mistakes:

So either way I answered that question wrong
