algorasm

The feeling of utter exhileration one experiences when one's software finally runs flawlessly. Originally defined in the Devil's DP Dictionary and Jargon File as...

algorasm: n. (Origin: blend of algorithm + orgasm) A sudden, short-lived moment of pleasure enjoyed by the programmer when the final kludge rings the bell.

Person 1: I finally got my Python script to run right.
Person 2: Took you long enough. Bet you feel great, huh?
Person 1: Yeah, total algorasm!

Algorism

Any computer code that seems to intentionally fuck with something you are doing.

algorismia

n. the condition one finds oneself in when naturally imbued with strong idealistic beliefs, which must be totally submerged in order to "get ahead" politically. 2. The feeling of utter despair when one realizes that they have submerged all that they consider to be worthwhile, only to co-exist with a more powerful force.

When faced with total political anihilation by his opponents, Rick Gephart found the only way to remain viable was to give in to the hyperbole and soon after experience the terrible itch of algorismia.

Algorism

When part of a computer program that should be random seems to be intentionally fucking with you.

I can't believe he caught that last Ace on the river! Fuckin' Algorisms!
