(36,423 posts)7. Why is it called lazy evacuation ranch?
I could enjoy spending time with the blue haired girlfriend; he's a fortunate dude
Why is it called lazy evacuation ranch? Are you a computer scientist?
Anonymous
Er, its not that scientific.
But yes, both the Blue Haired Girlfriend and I sometimes convert our skills in Swearing at Computers and Typing Excessive Punctuation into money to buy fencing wire with.
We both grew up on farms - her family raised sheep, mine ducks - and moved to big cities and took up Computer Cussing For Money. We met when I was attending a conference in Silicon Valley, thousands of miles away from the farms wed grown up on. But there are strange things written on the mossy foundations of all our souls. I didnt understand the way to get home until I met the person with the other half of the map.
The blog name references:
"lazy evaluation" - a feature of some computer programming languages where they do all calculations at the last possible moment, and skip anything you tell them to do if it turns out to be irrelevant later
lazy [whatever letter] ranch, - a ranch whose cattle brand is [whatever letter] sideways, as if it were laying down
Since that youve reminded me I am sometimes a Computer Swear Artist, I thought it would be fitting to convince an artificial intelligence to write some posts for this blog. I fed all this blogs text to the GPT-2 language model and asked it to generate some new posts that were similar to the existing ones.
Behold the Glorious Shining Future of chore blogging!
