What does a nerd dress up as for halloween?

[blackbrandt]

Well, typical me, I procrastinated till the last second for our floor's Halloween party.

So what does a computer nerd do?

I'm only a little bit sorry.

Matt, make a paper DUNCE hat and put your shirt & pants on backwards.

OH...don't forget the lipstick........:eyepop:....:bat:

 

[Bat-mite]

So, you dressed up as a Python?

True nerds do not dress up.

Right, they don't need to, they are always in their native costume

On a related note, while walking the boys around the neighborhood last night, I asked my 9 yo if I could have a box of Nerds. He said: "No, that would be cannibalism!"...touche Jerk.

I have no one to blame but myself. Clearly the dark sense of humor, and general smart ass-iness is wearing off.

Now that is truly funny. Pretty quick-witted for a 9 year old too.

You might be in trouble in the future.

C'mon, nobody got this?

Why does it print the 1 at the end. you print Last minute costume in the else statement then send a "1" to the print statement that called the def.

Sure, I got it. Did not deem a response as needed.

That print statement at the end is printing the output of halloween_costume(lazy). Lazy is the parameter being called. When the print statement is called, the halloween_costume function runs with the value inside the parentheses for the variable lazy. As lazy == 1 (aka lazy is true), then the last_minute costume is the output.

In the future? I'm in trouble now! I am sure many people have that moment when they realize their kids are smarter than them, not that they know more stuff, but have more underlying brain power. Happened to me with both of them before they were 5. When they figure it out, we're completely done for.

This SpaceX fan, at college. No update on whether the redshirt Star Trek guy at right survived.....

I wore an orbital class booster around campus all day! Pretty even mix of happy smiles and weird looks... It was a ton of fun though, and I only fell down the stairs once.

I only ever use Python in anger.

Can't go wrong with the Doppler Effect:

 

[Kallahan11]

Yes, I got that, I was wondering why the print statement at the end instead of just calling the def. It seemed like a bug to me.

I was expecting a six foot tall pocket protector....
Don't ever try to go as a slide rule... the numbers just don't work out.

The function is only defined to return the value, not print it.

 

[Steve Shannon]

But the value is being returned to the print function.

 

[blackbrandt]

Ohhhh, I see what you're saying. Sorry, it's been a busy couple of days.

Nothing's nerdier than arguing about the source code on a Halloween costume.

Isn’t it true?

Arguably, doing so on a Rocketry Enthusiast forum on the Internet adds a certain je ne sais quoi.
