Friend says "Yeah" and then burps several times, which sounds a bit like more words

Me: Did you forget to null-terminate the string

Preferred development method: waterfall method, except the waterfall is the M. C. Escher one

Me, writing in my .Xdefaults: "please open links in /usr/bin/firefox, thanks"

urxvt: "that's a funny way to spell google chrome"

probably in my top three favorite youtube videos:

Some guy builds & flies an airplane - not using one of those kits, even

Pretty insane

Update that I did propose this at WP:VPIL, so we'll see how that goes. (Don't go in & support it just because you read it here - that would make this post canvassing!)

oops, forgot @eloquence @quiddity @harej @reedy

(can't believe we have this many editors/WMF people on the fediverse)

Thinking of proposing that the WMF host a Mastodon instance, or at least allow one to be hosted. Maybe mastodon.wikimedia.org. Thoughts?

whoa, the snapchat map apparently emphasizes individual runways & taxiways in each airport w/ special coloring

I'm a fan

got a midi keyboard today! can't wait to learn some more songs

a bit of mildly tricky Python

>>> '\1', '\10', '\100', '\1000'

little moments in youtube, 5 years ago edition

insaneintherain (a very talented youtuber who does lots of video game covers) plays Shadow Pokemon Lab from Colosseum. The *composer for Colusseum*, Tsukasa Tawada, shows up in the comments to thank him for playing the piece! Pretty cool

A very mind-bending Haskell library, courtesy monochrom on the Freenode #haskell channel: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tardis-0.3.0.0/docs/Control-Monad-Tardis.html, which is a combination of the State and Reverse State transformers. That is, you can send computations forwards and backwards in time. Wild.

TIL Thurgood Marshall, US Supreme Court justice, had one testicle.

Read it in a Wikipedia article without a source, so of course I had to find one like a true Wikipedia editor - shockingly, I found one. He apparently lost it during a fraternity event while trying to jump onto a moving truck.

anyway idk if y'all will find this interesting, but I sure did, seeing as how the only canonical example of having one testicle that most people know is Lance Armstrong

from HN, extremely good story

unintentionally funny compiler comments, part 1: https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/release_39/lib/IR/AsmWriter.cpp#L148

You have been subscribed to ASCII facts!

You can get the ASCII encoding of a digit from 0 to 9 by prefixing its binary value with 011; for example, "0" is 0110000, and "9" is 0111001

ayy, it finally arrived!

now this is a new one

Imagine setting up your testing code so that it prints the same thing on success and failure

...yeah, I won't ever get those ten minutes back

(note that there's 8 spaces of indentation before the aaaa)
