@rosalindmosis I really enjoyed Red State(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_State_(2011_film)). I agree there is a lot of material if it became a subgenre.
@adrian those look delicious!

@PHolder Thanks, I might try Cmocka. I think I’ve seen that in use somewhere before. It would have saved me at least a half hour and tons of printf statements. :)

@derickflorian Unit testing is very worthwhile. Even if you don't use a formal testing framework in C, you can still code methods just for testing your code and use a #define to change the flow of your code to invoke your test functionality.
#define UNITTEST
#ifdef UNITTEST
void assertEqual(...)
{
...
}
main(..) /* unit test main */
{
assertEqual(10,foo());
...
main(...) /* real main */
{
...

I'm Matt, pretty new here 👋 Who should I follow?
I'm into #science #communication and open source #EDA, #software #tools to design hardware like #PCB, #FPGA and #ASIC.
I'll mostly be posting about that as it's my full time job too! 👍
Check my websites for more infos:

Working on making/finding some custom emoji for the glammr.us Mastodon instance. Know any good sources for library/archive.museum/archive emoji-style images with no licensing issues? Thanks!
There was a lot of despair tonight but I eventually finished day 2 part 1 of advent of code.
I successfully use strtok() to parse the input but the hardest part was a typo and a logic error.
I think I need a better way of walking through my code or maybe some unit testing to make sure what I think I'm doing is what I am actually doing.
Finally learned how to copy and paste in vim. I am nowhere near efficient and have no path to getting there but I slowly improve with each use.
@kumachan yes, definitely! I don’t know when I will get around to setting up the port forwarding but you are definitely welcome when I do!
Actually, this server rips. Granted its on the same network but this is much faster than the 2gb free server I used for a little.
It's finally happening! I'm taking Friday night off from any coding/work and finally am starting up my 8gb Raspberry Pi minecraft server(LAN only for now).

Welcome to Friendo.Space!
I am the "MySpace Tom" of this instance and this is my #introduction.
I enjoy talking about #technology, especially about #ChromeOS, #Linux #servers, #Google, and #FLOSS. I work in #IT for a school but I really want to do something bigger someday.
I like both #Pokemon and #Digimon, #rock #music, #physics, #philosophy, and more.
I'm a proud #Socialist and #AntiCapitalist because humans are meant to help out one another and not compete over stupid shit.
Have fun!

New #TwinTrouble podcast dropped- Welcome to… CRYPTO FASCIST HELL!
with guests Molly White (@molly0xfff) and Cooper Quintin (@cooperq)
A long overdue evisceration of the grift of crypto. We’re calling out the tech-fascists, the frauds accelerating the apocalypse clock in this dystopic timeline. As the collapses pile up, what should ethical techies be doing to fight back? Burn, web3, burn!
I was cleaning up the many discord groups that I don’t engage with and I found a gem I forgot about…#ravynOS is trying to be an open source alternative to MacOS and run any app that you could on it(i guess that would be binary compatibility). It would be a stretch but I think it’s an amazing idea and would love to contribute to it some day.

Oh, wow, Tom Lehrer has released all of his songs into the public domain. Apparently also his website will shut down "at some date in the not too distant future" so now's a good time to download directly.
"In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money."

i don't think i ever posted an #Introduction
i'm ben🌱ui, i like writing #UnrealEngine tutorials, mostly about #ui and programming. i've been in the industry for 8-ish years, working in tokyo, paris and now vancouver.
i'm like someone hit "default" on the "over-represented programmer character creator", so i'm trying to mentor to pay it forward, if you ever have questions about the industry you can always message me ♥

we're almost to 2023 and most newsrooms still have no idea how to respond to criticism from bad-faith actors. it's frustrating beyond belief.
