Does anyone know of any good reason I shouldn't use Mustache, or have strong feelings either way about Liquid?

ERB, HAML, and SLIM are not acceptable for my purposes - basically every page needs to be safely and relatively-unchallengingly end-user-customizable.
Is there any kind of across-the-board best-practices guide for accessibility in web development?

(I'm thinking about tags and whether screen readers try and ignore them and whether that harms the Authentic Tumblr Experience for non-sighted people - because some of the tags are tags, but some are instead marginalia. Or, in tanb...... slime man terminology, "marg targs."

I'm aware that that particular thing's not the first priority! It's just, for optimization purposes, I was thinking I might try to ruin the subversive thrill that comes from misusing tags by classifying some tags as marg targs and thus not trying to index by them, which led to thoughts about whether the marg targs should/could be marked up differently somehow so as to be caught by screen-readers.)

This is your new design. I'm in charge.



(Honestly, the page you first see upon logging in shouldn't be the news posts, though; it should be the Reading page.)
I stayed up most of last night working on writing a Tumblr client from scratch in Ruby.

I know I'm just duplicating other people's work here! But I had the energy/focus for coding for once, and decided that re-learning Ruby via the process of making myself a personal Tumblr client was an appropriate expression of my frustration with life. Life and Tumblr.

Dreamwidth, please fix up and document your API, so I can make this thing work for crossposting eventually.
Using Construct 2, is there any tidy or untidy way to load

1) external tilemap files, like Tiled ones, and

2) external tilesets and spritesheets

into a project at runtime?

Like, if you just wanted to set up the physics in Construct 2, and swap out some files called map.txt, tiles.png, and sprites.png from a folder.

(Yes, I know that this is literally what Crafty/Impact/etc are for, but the project I have in mind is very tiny and stupid, and I don't have the energy for coding right now.)

Python package management is terrible and needs to stop.
You are stupid.

So I wrote a script that just uses popen to access the Windows command-line. Works for Python 3.2 on Windows 7 with the UTF-8 version of MeCab installed. Is very ugly.
*Dad is watching a college baseball game.*

DAD: Do you know who this idiot is who's doing the color commentary?

ME: No.

DAD: No, Sarah, come on, do you recognize his voice?

ME: No.

DAD: No! Listen to him! Just listen! You know who this idiot is!

*It's our previous president.*

ME: Why is Bush doing the commentary?

DAD: I don't know! I don't know why they - (*Bush says something.*) - shut up!

MOM: Well, he did once own a baseball team, dear.

BUSH: This guy's a freshman.

DAD: No, he's not! You're wrong! You're always wrong!

*Bush says something about "being prepared" that I didn't hear, apparently.*

DAD: Oh, yeah, you were real prepared for Katrina, weren't you, you butthead!

Also, someone on stackoverflow has solved the MeCab/C# problem!
Before I wade into stackoverflow with this, any suggestions? I'm trying to use the Japanese morphological analyzer MeCab in a C# program (Visual Studio 2010 Express, Windows 7), and something's going wrong with the encoding.

cut for many details )

Solved! Thank you, Cryovat and Tim Gebhardt!
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO USE LIBMECAB.DLL WITH C# SO THE ENCODING WORKS REGARDLESS OF THE LOCALIZATION OF THE WINDOWS INSTALLATION

SOMEONE MUST

BUT I THINK THAT THAT PERSON DOES NOT USE THE INTERNET

agh.

In these photos of some of the original pen-and-paper sketches for Pac-Man, there's a stamp saying 「秘」, which means "secret." This kanji's not in the artist's name or anything, so I'm going to assume that, you know, it is in fact the equivalent of a "Classified" stamp.

What I'm wondering is - can you get these things at the 100-Yen Shop? If so, I wish I'd known! I totally would have used it as my signature stamp and upset the phone company.

Tangentially, for the past couple months I've been working on a tilemap editor for use with Flixel. )

The term ended Thursday, so the last couple days I’ve been teaching myself Python. It logically follows. And just now I spent like half an hour creating sort a crappy roguelike with basic collision-detection! It’s less than 60 lines, it was totally easy! There aren’t any enemies because I couldn’t find an AI tutorial by someone who could spell words.

You shut up. I made a video game in twenty-six minutes. What did you do today?
