MentalFloss Minutes
Random Programming Thoughts
Design: Snake

Maybe the reputation points might not mean a lot to most people here, but I don't generally post in areas outside of assisting people with problems, so this means that my points are a fairly good indicator for how many people I've actually helped, and it feels pretty good. I think back to the first people that I helped with C# problems...

My journey learning nine programming languages
Murach's HTML5 and CSS3

You couldn't find a book title that aligns more perfectly with my blog's mission statement: Seven Languages in Seven Weeks by Bruce A. Tate. It's a whistle stop tour of seven programming languages. Each one is chosen for an aspect of its programming model. The languages are Ruby, Io, Prolog, Scala, Erlang, Clojure and Haskell....

...considered harmful
Stuff that's wrong.
a handy solution template for rosalind.info

It has come to my attention, both here on DIC and in the real world, that many programmers do not actually know that there is a difference between a switch statement and a string of if-else clauses. This seems worthy of correction. You may have been told at some point in your path to becoming a developer that a switch statement is "just like...

NASM and GTK+ on Windows kicked my ass!

I set out to see if I could write a simple Cross-OS program using NASM and GTK+ 2 on Linux and Windows. GTK is a cross OS GUI library, so it seemed it would be easy enough. Holy crap was I wrong! On Linux, it is simple: 1. Build the GUI with GLADE and save the glade file. 2. Write Assembly code using NASM to load the glade file, show the...

Joomla Permissions: I Hate You.

One year ago, I posted a whiny, melodramatic entry about the horrible abuse I was suffering at the hands of my employer when they implemented their mandatory everything-must-use-Joomla-for-a-CMS policy. I am now on the cusp of launching my third Joomla-backed site and, while I'm still not excited by it, I have learned to manage (and in some...

Microsoft Shoots for a Creative Edge

For almost a decade now, Mac's primary selling device is the fact that they are cute, trendy and very eye-appealing. Sure, people can debate as much as they like about how the software is better or how the hardware is better. Today, however, Apple now manufactures their computers with the same Intel-based hardware that PCs do. Also, any...

I think that if you were confronted with people...

Sunday, day of rest. I mean homework.

As I sit in my room in my apartment, putting off programming and calculus homework. I decide to post my 2nd entry to my blog, I have begun to wonder why I actually write on this thing. Is anyone ever going to read it? Is it for my own enjoyment? I already know these things about me so why post something on the internet that nobody will ever read?...
