10:50 pdurbin learned of the term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterization_test from http://www.schmonz.com/2013/08/22/tdd-by-example-an-ikiwiki-feature
10:51 pdurbin "It’s common and useful to think of these as regression tests, but when I’m adding tests for code that didn’t have any — especially someone else’s code — I prefer to think of them as characterization tests. I didn’t know enough to decide whether the existing behavior was right or wrong, I just wanted to be sure to find out if I unintentionally changed it."
10:51 pdurbin seems like a useful term
12:04 pdurbin I'm looking for a good square font on Linux to print this out: 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 in PHP (or anything else, for that matter) - Programming Puzzles & Code Golf Stack Exchange - http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/9165/10-print-chr205-5rnd1-goto-10-in-php-or-anything-else-for-that-matter
12:23 pdurbin yesterday I saw it in a Commodore 64 emulator and it was awesome
12:24 pdurbin they guy typed the book's title in and hit enter and it was magical
12:24 pdurbin all blue and white, just like on the book: 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 - http://10print.org
12:46 pdurbin not just the color, the timing was great
12:52 pdurbin this timing is about right: ruby -e 'loop{$><<"/\\"[rand 2];sleep 0.01}'
12:53 pdurbin but the spacing is off. need kind of a more square font
13:10 pdurbin ok, C64_Pro_v1.0-STYLE.ttf from http://style64.org/release/c64-truetype-v1.0-style makes it look better
13:26 pdurbin here's how it looks: https://plus.google.com/107770072576338242009/posts/LR9Z6Wnghf2
13:32 pdurbin huh, the book is a free download, creative commons: http://trope-tank.mit.edu/10_PRINT_121114.pdf
