I don't actually have time today to work on any side projects, but I thought I'd run through the basic setup steps for MonoGame aaaand

./bin/Debug/net6.0/MyGame
bash: ./bin/Debug/net6.0/MyGame: cannot execute: required file not found

... which required file ._. ???

I think this sort of thing means it tried to dynamically link something and failed. I run into this whenever I try to run loose builds of Linux games on #NixOS, but idk what to do about it.

Trying to get my head around how to organise a #Rust project where you have to deal with "crates", "packages", "modules" and "libraries" each of which means something slightly different.

I guess the reason why so many Rust source files are 1000+ LoC is because figuring out how to split them up is too much of a pain.

🤔 Why are people taking Scott Adams seriously? He says DEI stands for "Didn't Earn It." But let's look at his own words from his own book. He's boasting about his mediocrity, and how he didn't earn anything, and about how he was terrible at his job.

Every Black employee at his company earned it much more than he did. And these are his own words! And look at the text from his own performance review! 🤡

A bank teller that loses money and is incompetent, genuinely expecting to be promoted.

My supervisor liked me, but my sloppiness at keeping track of peo- ple's transactions-which in those days involved writing down num- bers with a pen and paper-made me unfit for the job. My supervisor warned me that unless I improved quickly, she would be forced to let me go. I knew I wasn't likely to get better at handling details. I was a failure at my first job. I figured I had two ways to leave my job. I could get fired or-and here's the optimist emerging-I could get promoted. I wrote a letter to the senior vice president for the branch system, who was probably seven or eight layers of management above me, and described all of my naive suggestions for improving the bank. My ideas had one thing in common: They were impractical for reasons a twenty-one-year-old wouldn't yet appreciate. I closed my letter by asking for a rare and coveted spot in the management training program, a fast track to up- per management. It was a long shot for a guy who had on his perma- nent work record some version of "too incompetent to write numbers

Seems OK to me... #Python

with open(text_file) as f:<br></br>    items = [line for line in f.read().splitlines()<br></br>             if line.strip() and not line.startswith('#')]<br></br>

Context: A txt file with a list of files to process, some are commented out, and there is a first line head comment followed by a blank line.

In my opinion, C’s declaration-follows-usage is in and of itself not bad, merely idiosyncratic. Where it gets super bad is when you declare the identifier via the declarator and assign to the identifier not via the declarator in the same line.

kohelet, 1 month ago to python

I have a quesiton about programming in Python.
Many times when I have a number of options (functions) to run, I wanna generlize the main function as much as possible,
and end up doing a dictionary with function names as values like this:
options = {'1': func1, '2': func2}
and then call them like this:
options['1'](parameter=smth)

1. is it best practice/by convention?
2. do people do that in general? are there better options?

thanks!

APOLOGIES

Today I posted about #NixOS naively assuming the leadership didn't do anything, promoting the open letter. That was a mistake, I should've checked before. There has apparently been movement to correct the problems

which C indentation/formatting/brace style do you like the best

#c #programming #formatting #code

C code indented in reverse: what would usually be the lowest indent is the highest and vice-versa. The effect is exaggerated by indenting/splitting on more things (e.g. parentheses have an extra level between the parent and the child)
C code indented by a peculiar rule: All text is aligned in a grid based on tokens, and the columns’ widths are as small as can be. Between all tokens there must be a space, incl. before and after parentheses, except when parentheses follow each other, and except in the include preprocessor directive. Asterisks for pointers are counted as parts of the token they concern, but all tokens are aligned so that the first non-asterisk characters have the same column. All blocks are indented by one space and completely reset this layout within them. Parentheses that do not induce blocks are followed by line breaks, and commas also. Commas are also treated as part of the token they follow. There is a point in the code where “char

Why don't they just include all the old wallpapers in #GNOME by default? Why does there need to be the nostalgia app (which isn't updated frequently enough)? The wallpapers are nice!

Just learned that #Python 3.12 will include arbitrarily nested f-strings and remove limitations on expressions inside them! That's cool.
