I didn’t see what c this was, and I was all set to say “Brother multifunction b/w laser printer”, along with some colored copy paper and a long stapler that can reach the middle of a page. Everything you need to make some bitchin zines.

none of them. linguistic gatekeeping is just disguised contempt for the poor. let people spell however the fuck they want.

Good callout! I agree, don’t rewrite just for the sake of rewriting. By “barely works” I am referring to code that functions but where a small change to the requirements would make it incorrect. In that situation you should “break it” in order to add changes, rather than calcifying the legacy code by building around it.

I’ve worked in programming for the last ten years and the most important skill you might not have guessed: Bravery. People are going to say “if it works, don’t fix it”, but a lot of real-world code barely works, and you need to be willing to break it to make it better.

If you’re good at your job, you will spend a lot of time reading other people’s code and testing small changes to see what happens. Write “new” code for yourself, because it’s fun and its good practice, but also learn to read and repair “old” code.

there’s an excellent joke in Cassette Beasts where you cross the cliffs of Eastham, and on the other side is a big boring dust bowl labeled “ham”.

wow i cant believe nobody else pointed this out but today someone on discord informed me that I accidentally misplaced a bit when multiplying 10 by 101. According to this chart, two times five is eighteen.

I’m using octal as a sub-base to make it easier to count digits, just like using commas to group decimal digits. I think that still counts as binary tho!

I have Syncthing set up to copy save data between my pc and steam deck, but not just for emulator stuff: its got my entire modded minecraft directory and my balatro modloader nn there too.

wait how does your clipboard shortcut work op? that sounds nifty!

i use a joplin notebook. its like a private wiki, and it works on android too.

youtube is fine as a video host but it’s awful as a discovery platform. look what it puts on the front page when you’re logged out sometime.

In my experience, “making a new one” never works.

What we can do is hack the old one. Go back to old protocols that work, undermine anything proprietary. Scrape fandomwiki to breezewiki, mod your discord client, make websites on neocities and nekoweb, use RSS to follow and email to comment. All the tools are there, leadership is the hard part.

i always say that a Gender Reveal Party can’t really happen until the kid is like 16 years old. the thing people are currently doing would more accurately be called a Baby Sex Party.

I think you’re just describing market forces. Good recaps are harder to write. You’re describing cheap news. If we want proper news, we need to subsidize it.

bottom left is crouch, bottom right is jump. I use the same bindings with my modded dualsense.

i dont care to play god. but i will play new super luigi u.

I bought the deck so I could play modded games on the go, and its been great for that! Lately I’ve been playing PlateUp with mods like Fry That, a difficult chicken wing themed menu that will test your ability to manage your kitchen pot stack.

step one, defragment ram to free up space

step two, read the now-unallocated ram directly to the screen
