the fucked up thing about programming is that nobody ever says "it's cool the way you use a for loop there! i like the way you named those variables, those are good names" the only say "why did you do it like that, thats the way a baby would program. youre a baby. and not even one of the babies who can program"
I forgot about http://collegebowl.avatarpro.biz/ and then I remembered it and that's a project I'm quite proud of.
I think it’s important to quit framing Mastodon as a Twitter replacement. They both have different uses!
Mastodon’s where you go to build/find community in a decentralized space, while Twitter’s where you go to emulate the feeling of sticking your head into a boiling vat of cooking oil.
TFW when you are likely the only person in the world working in the intersection of (at least) three esoteric technologies:

I made a logo for Lisp. Here's it is my lisp logo: lisp logo
I wrote out my 2018 code resolutions for my tinyletter. Read them here: http://www.markwunsch.com/tinyletter/2018/01/bomb_cyclone.html
What will you be working on in the year ahead? What are you consciously putting to the side?
To the lisp / scheme curious:
I'd suggest installing Racket, opening DrRacket and going through this tutorial: http://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/
You'll be coding fun things in mere minutes... even with no lisp or even *any* programming experience!
Writing a web application is only a few lines away: http://docs.racket-lang.org/continue/index.html
Try it! I promise you'll have fun!
Here's my Glib challenge: (thanks to @aperezdc @federicomena for responding)
I'm using GObject Introspection to work with GStreamer. When I call `g_registered_type_info_get_g_type` on a GstBuffer, I get a GType. When I call `g_type_from_name` for "GstBuffer", I get that same GType.
When I then call `g_type_query` with that GType, the query tells me that this GType is invalid!
I find this to happen with most GStreamer types that inherit from GBoxed, and type assertions fail!
What can I do?
the worst thing about talkin about computers is that not only do people want to tell you they ALSO know about computers, but in every single interaction they also assume that you know less than them
Have you done work with GTypes and GObjects?
I'm really stuck on a problem, and could use some help.
Golly, I’ve really enjoyed writing this recent batch of code.
Hi I've been writing a bunch of Racket lately, if you're into that kind of thing: http://www.markwunsch.com/overscan/
How do you type the sound a harmonica makes?
“This is true for us. We create our world, and then enter into that world. We live in the world that we have created. When our hearts are pure, then we create the beautiful, enlightened life we have wished for.”
The Matrix: I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead...
Me: It looks like it's dividing 5 by the word "Buzz" and making that a color.
