Re: Coding Hot Takes


The Apple goto fail; bug was caused by the "single line only" evaluation of a brace-less if statement: https://www.blackduck.com/blog/understanding-apple-goto-fail-vulnerability-2.html


i feel like this would've been caught (or way more likely to be caught) if autoformatting is applied before ...

i don't play maimai but they announced a new version, which makes sense considering they already dropped XaleidoscopiX

Re: Echolalia


Sentence mixing in YouTube Poop tends to result in words being spoken in a way that's just so funny to me that I can't help but repeat it.

Like in this DaThings YTP I really latched onto this line:

Re: Bap The Buttons! A Rhythm Game Thread


There's part of my brain that gets funny good feelings for being rewards for my desire to tap along to the beat of the song in ways I'm not requested.

Don't get me wrong, they suck in terms of being a requirement for score, but I just like the acknowledgement of tapping during off noted bits of ...

Re: Bap The Buttons! A Rhythm Game Thread


God I wish I could play IIDX enough to get a dan rating :( I'm sl0 dan in BMS but that doesn't transfer to controller, so my best play is only an easy clear on Summerblue SPA (that I regrettably did not get a photo of). Maybe I'll get something good going the next chance I get.

sl0 is still ...

Re: Bap The Buttons! A Rhythm Game Thread


Recently picked up Groove Coaster: Future Performers as something to break in my Switch 2. I had a blast with Wai Wai Party so I came into this one with high expectations...

Let's list the problems with it

They seem to have removed elements like Ad-lib notes

Re: Coding Hot Takes


No no, you're right. C++ is just a terrible language. It feels very much slapped together. Do you really need 3 kinds of strings, a very strange way to deal with text streams (std::cout/std::cin), strange class formatting, and a general nightmare to work around in? C in general is much more ...

a fluffdragon blocks the way!

hello! the name's Hawke, and i'm some sort of weird wingless fluffy dragon!

i saw Sertimus talk about this forum somewhere (bsky? fediverse?) and decided that a return to the forum format would be nice, so i joined!

many things interest me, but i'd say maths, programming (C++/Python) and (arcade ...

Re: Coding Hot Takes


I've had situations pop up in C programs where if I didn't use "goto" it would make the program harder to maintain, harder to understand, and make me likely to introduce subtle bugs later on. I think most of my own "goto" use could be replaced with exceptions and features like RAII but I don't ...
