#coding in medias

What is the code that can be seen from April's assignment in The Purple Jacket?

I looked into it, because I wanted to know if it was just gibberish pseudo-coding or if it was actually something.

Here's the answer:

The language is C.

It's a very generic code.

The part that can be seen in the clip serves to allocate memory to go through a list of groups. (The rest is missing.)

It is an excerpt of Linux kernel code. It is from the function groups_allocate within the groups.c unit. It allocates memory of the proper size so it can be filled with the result of a group info query.

Furthermore, the code is featured on Hackertyper. The producers likely took a screenshot of that website to use as generic source code for that scene.

For the last month or so I��ve been combing through old Taylor interviews and ended up creating an archive of them. Since it’s finished, I figured I’d share this resource with everyone else!

Is it just me or is your solkat giving Good Omens vibes? specifically the way you draw them

goddamn

you're exactly right actually hshajha i did indeed have an old headcanon about this

i think it's cool how homestuck and good omens have had some overlapping fans even in the past!!

the dvkt fic mentioned is To Defy Gods and Devils by amaranthinecanicular (2013) - it was written before the tv show (2019) so i found it quite fun that the author wrote it based on their book perception of gomens

tho i did say slkt so. solkat omens!

Queer-coded villains are one thing, but the ones that really perplex me – and I've seen multiple instances of this, mostly in pre-2000 media, though with some later examples – is when the baddie has all the surface-level signifiers of a queer-coded villain, but instead of doing anything particularly gay he just conspicuously admires his wife, and the text of the film makes it clear that this is meant to be understood as deplorably unmanly. Like, fellas, is it gay to not hate your wife?

When Kirk says, "I need you," what he means is "I love you." Therefore, I am completely normal about this scene in The Klingon Gambit by Robert E. Vardeman, where

☑️ Spock is crying (space madness, etc.).

☑️ Kirk slaps Spock (Snap out of it!)

☑️ Kirk tells Spock "I need you" two times in a row.

It's like The Naked Time without a countdown. I'm convinced they're going to go make out about it in a page or two.

Just saw a "feminist" video essay (by someone who just happens to only talk about feminism in relation to cishet white able bodied women) say that the Hays Code was good for women because it "prevented them from sexualizing women by preventing onscreen depictions of sex". Never before has a video said something that made me vocalize my disgust of it's takes, but this did it.

I didn't think I would have to say this but if you defend the Hays code you are horrible and not in any way progressive. And if you don't know what it is please look it up because it's probably the most important piece of history when it comes to all media analysis in the western world.

It's wild watching the Gargoyles pilot and hearing Riker and Troi be given GOOD lines.

I watched Gargoyles before I ever watched TNG and it was wild for me experiencing two of the most fun and nuanced villains I'd ever seen getting hit with the Blandinator so hard

why is every classic book either gay or set in a boarding school

[soullessjack]

not only should any autistic character who’s ever been infantilized by their fanbase kill and maim more people, but they should also fuck as nasty as possible too. as a treat

[sw4nfire]

so I made the mistake of listening to the character songs sung by the voice actors and it sparked a buggy centric mad max style musician/music au and I cant get it out of my head here is a google doc with all the details and my reasonings

I tried not to change much about one piece's wacky world since I love it so much

[nihidea-art]

I need to have an emotion in private.
