[confusedbyinterface]

so I'm reading Gankra's "Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists" and the introduction feels like

STOP USING LINKED LISTS

DATA ELEMENTS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN POINTERS

YEARS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for using anything other than Vec

Want to add and remove elements from the front and back just for a laugh? We have a tool for that: It's called "VecDeq"

"It might take a long time to look at any element but I'll make it up with all the merges, inserts, and splits I'll be doing" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

LOOK at what Functional Programmers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the LISP machines & tape readers we built for them (This is REAL Computer Science, done by REAL Computer Scientists)

???????????

"Hello I would like element.next.next.next.next.next.next.next.next please"

They have played us for absolute fools

Asks Compilation 17/5

I do wonder - if you just drew a simple shape, like a circle, line or triangle, what would it default to? The ability to draw what you have in mind is extremely useful, but random experimentation might be even better, since it can give you access to items you’ve never seen or heard of.   

Happens a lot to me. I have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to celebrities - even internationally famous ones!

That puts Witch of Doom into the list of top contenders. I like it best out of the three, just for the image it evokes - but I’m not committing to a Title till we get more Class/Aspect lore.

I’m looking forward to exploring the connotations of each Title - the fact that livebloggers, as a group, seem to gravitate to a few specific Aspects would suggest that the system is very clear about what traits go where.

Bleh. I think I over-rely on the in-browser spellchecker, which doesn’t catch missing or out-of-place words. 

Oh, are there regular updates of SBaHJ? I just double-checked, and it seems like I have the same 50ish comics that were there originally. 

The comic’s memes are used pretty effectively in Homestuck proper - unlike many other series that employ meme humor, it doesn’t seem gratuitous, probably because these aren’t memes I’m already overfamiliar with.

Heh. Honestly, I’m only half-serious with the Cal hate. I was serious at the start, because he was this creepy doll being used to torment a kid, but due to recent developments that’s no longer the case.

I still don’t understand his role in the story, but on a meta level it honestly is pretty entertaining seeing him constantly return in more and more bizarre fashions. 

I’m so happy that this is my zodiac troll, you have no idea.

Can’t wait to see what his role in the story is - if I were to hazard a wild guess, I’d say he works either for or against Trollplanet’s iteration of Skaianet.

I’d be shocked if he didn’t. Hell, he’s probably one of those programmers with an unhinged hardware setup. You just know the guy’s production rig has two keyboards, one for each hand. 

Anomymous said: Rose and Dave: Shut up and jam is the infamous page you've been told about that resulted in a musician's work being removed from the comic. The story goes that Bill Bolin (the musician) created a series of WIP tracks, and uploaded them to the private forum where the music team worked. He labelled them as WIP, but uploaded them into the thread for completed songs accidentally. Hussie, wanting to surprise Bolin (in a pleasant way) used all of these songs in the flash without telling him.

Bolin proceeded to have a spiteful meltdown on the main MSPA forums. Hussie called him unprofessional, which resulted in the iconic line 'YOU DO NOT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO TALK PROFESSIONALISM WITH ME' accompanied by a grainy webcam screenshot of Bolin flipping the camera off. This is when all ties were cut. As funny as this moment is in isolation (it has been memed to hell and back) in recent years people have come around to accepting that Bolin had a point.

Without wanting to get into later drama, no matter where you fall, it's fair to say Hussie's mismanaged a few projects in his time. Gankra, the coder of the games, recounted a time she begged Hussie in tears to give one more day to finish a project, because Hussie was impatient and wanted to charge ahead. Hussie worked at an insane pace and would put a lot of pressure on people to keep up, probably unintentionally. He's not a cautious person and that has landed him in hot water a few times.

So, the only out-of-comic drama I’ve been aware of up to this point is the obvious one. Hussie once raised an absolutely obscene amount of money to make a Homestuck game - a game that has not, as of yet, been completed. 

I don’t feel like I know enough about any of this to offer an opinion, but I will say this: Skills like project management and business acumen aren’t trivial. I know people who believe you can wing it. You can’t.

Dave thinks that ‘Lalonde’ means Rose is French, and he’s trying to learn to rap in her ‘native language’, so she really gets the nuance of his irony.   

Thank you! I hope my blogging lack-of schedule doesn’t throw you off. Rest assured, we will be finishing Homestuck - I’m in too deep to stop now!

Jade’s shirt better change symbols, or I want my money back!

Haha, I didn’t think about that. 

They’ve gotta be floppy, right? They’re probably made of some synthetic material, since they come from an actual jester doll. I doubt Jack can dismiss prototyping effects at will  - he’d give himself back his arm if he did - so he probably did have to awkwardly force them through offscreen, right in front of poor WV.

Yeah, unless Deuce and/or Boxcars are faking it - doubtful, since we’ve been in their heads - then Jack and Droog are the ones with the brain cells. Now that Jack’s on a power trip, Droog seems to be the one taking point. 

There’s chance he could get his hands on a Ring or Scepter without Jack knowing. I wonder how loyal Droog really is?

Okay fine, I'm obsessed 😍 #3dprinting #gankra #3dkitbash https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpuvb3bHFJY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12g5psf3ay05o

[empatheticcoder]

my hot spicy take of the evening is that homestuck.com should PROBABLY update their credits where they can to. not include people’s deadnames.

And I've got the printing bug all over again!! A gankra skull, lil deadpool, two rings for a big commission I'm doing and Bastion from Overwatch. Happy to say I got the printer going again. Bastion seems to have had a stroke during his print but he adds to the family ❤ #3dprinting #resin #overwatch #bastion #deadpool #anycubic #photon #lcdprinting #3dmodelling #3dkitbash #gankra https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGl7Drjzaa/?igshid=18aecov29oaac

So this was my first print last night on my Anycubic Photon. Yet another Gankra Skullchain, many more to follow. This is being compared to the best print we've had from @derekminchin Creality CR 10. Virtually no layer lines, only some watermarks because I didn't get all of the right utilities for post processing. 5 and a half hour print. Couldn't be more pleased!! #3dprinting #resin #anycubicphoton #3dkitbash #gankra #crealitycr10 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZMjZrHNa1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d8sev0ysuann
