@vwbusguy Love it, thanks Scott! Haven't done much with it lately.

I always write

```
if (unread <= 0) hideBadge()
```

rather than

```
if (unread === 0) hideBadge()
```

I never trust a count to never go negative.

(how's that for a triple negative?)

@vwbusguy oh duh, that’s how I connected with you in the first place. 😅

@vwbusguy Excellent.

I built this btw https://github.com/jamonholmgren/qub

@vwbusguy Have you made anything like a CLI library with QB64? That's one thing I'd like to try sometime.

Ever wanted to launch your own website with #QBASIC? You can with #qub, powered by #QB64!

@lrz @plexus I don't use Mastodon much; the software seems fine, but my community isn't here.

@lrz @plexus It does; twitter feels relatively similar to years ago, actually, although there are new faces and you do have to use care to curate your For You feed (or only use the "Following" tab).

Here is everything that I found interesting last month about the Elixir programming ecosystem:

I’m building a game! Check it out on my new YouTube channel, Jamon Game Dev.

Chain React 2024 was absolutely fantastic! Looking forward to next year.

Our garage freezer plug GFCI tripped and we didn’t notice for a while, until Cally let us know the freezer light didn’t turn on (way to be alert!)

I ordered this alarm. It plugs right into the wall and if your circuit goes dead, it’ll wait a minute and then as long as the circuit is not back on, it’ll beep for 15 minutes every hour until it’s back on.

🎈I finally know the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything: I’m 42. 🎈

With her brother moving out and freeing up a room, the ten year old is already designing her space in Roblox.

She even got a measuring tape and measured the space.

@sheng I’m surprised anyone saw this!

I’m not great at hitting the ground running on Monday mornings.

I usually ramp up to productivity throughout the week. It’s a process.

Just how I roll though. No shame in that. I usually just slog through the “less important” email and slack channels until I hit my groove.

@ShaunBurch I dunno, the app is just called Mastodon

I go on mastodon they’re talking about mastodon and twitter and threads

I go on Bluesky they’re talking about Bluesky and twitter and threads

I go on twitter and threads and they’re just talking about life, code, etc.

I want to like these alt platforms. I really do. But come on.

@ShaunBurch this is what I see

Wait why does my username say jamon@jamon@mstdn.social now
