Below is a funny song about coding which is sung to the tune of “Favorite Things”. It’s been around for ages, although I always thought the original version was a bit too short and unfocused. So, I’ve re-written it, because I’m a dork, and I’m posting it because I have nothing worthwhile to say today.
Pointers to pointers to printf()-like functions,
Unary minus and nested conjunctions,
Integers, booleans, characters, strings,
These are a few of my favorite things!Encapsuled functions with routines embeded.
Parallel process to run multi-threaded.
Routines that lighten the processor load.
This is just some of my favorite code!
/* When the bug bites! When the core dumps!
when the code is bad.
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't feel so mad. */
API reference and good indentation.
Pointers to strings that have null-termination.
Callbacks to functions of referencing strings.
These are a few of my favorite things.malloc() and calloc() and database files.
Error-free coding that always compiles.
Arrays of structures and quick file sort.
These are my favorite things to import!
/* When the link fails! When the code bombs!
When it won't execute.
I simply compile my favorite things
and then I can go Re-boot! */
Deus Ex and The Treachery of Labels
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.
Why The Christmas Shopping Season is Worse Every Year
Everyone hates Black Friday sales. Even retailers! So why does it exist?
Top 64 Videogames
Lists of 'best games ever' are dumb and annoying. But like a self-loathing hipster I made one anyway.
Diablo III Retrospective
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.
Quakecon Keynote 2013 Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
Hah! That’s brilliant!
now, if you could write it so it actually compiled… :)
Get it to compile! Wow. If I could do that I’d be a shoe-in at the The International Obfuscated C Code Contest . It’s an incomprehensible program AND a catchy song!
hah. the weird hting is, normally I can’t fit new lyrics to an old song. This one I could. It’s scary.
Ha! I love this.
dude! amazing!
Now all we need is someone to sing this. I immediately thought of JoCo for that.
Fucking. Epic. Dude.
Awesome, I’m bookmarking this.
