Apparently the new standard for Python module distribution is .whl files, a special format that's supposed to be installed with the pip program that ships with Python anyway. That's all well and good, except there's some fairly severe bugs like this whole process depending on you having the same version of a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable as the person who compiled the installer you used for Python itself apparently? A perfectly functional process has been replaced with downgrade-hunting and tedious dependency checking for no adequately explained reason, and that pisses me off when the entire point of Python is supposed to be the ease of use. Grah!

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

That's still the format for saving stuff locally, but lots of things you might want to use span multiple files and suchlike, and so for convenient distribution they need to get packed up into a single compressed file. Until recently, there was a website that maintained up-to-date .exe files that would unpack a given thing into the appropriate place, but since this change they've switched to .whl files, which are apparently a pain in the ass.

"Module" might not be the right word. Extension, perhaps? For instance, numpy.

EDIT: Actually, it appears to be exactly a problem with numpy, and not a general one. Okay. That's a lot better.

"Judge rules doing something that is not against the law is not against the law"

Sounds like it's a politician's job to fix this, not a judge's one.

Yeah, sadly in this case (but not in the general case), the courts can't actually impose punishments on people simply for doing something they find morally abhorrent. Talk to the state legislature.

Apparently not! That needs to be fixed, but a judge can't do that.

My job is refusing to pay me the legally required minimum wage, claiming it hasn't gone into effect. It sure as fuck has.

Speaking of income, I still haven't heard anything from my mother's tax guy. If I don't hear anything really soon, I'm going to demand my W-2 back so I can file my taxes myself.

Apparently not! That needs to be fixed, but a judge can't do that.

...Isn't Oregon the state that allows parents to transfer custody their children to "re-education" camps, who will violently kidnap them and then torture them into being good Christians?

I did some coding competition thingie today, and wasted most of my time on trying to make task 2 get under the time requirement.
With 20 minutes left, I noticed that I had left in the while(true){} that I used to debug things.

;_;

Well, I guess I have a pretty well-optimized algorithm now :P

E:
Wow, it wasn't even correct ;_;

Having one of those days where I'm just utterly disgusted with everything and everyone. An especially "Fuck society" day.

Welp, off to work now. Ugh.
