benny test

A "Benny test" is a type of regression testing in software development where you prerecord inputs to a game you're working on and then play them back at high speed to check if your code changes causes any adverse effects on the behaviour of the game. The term specifically references Yakkety Sax, the closing theme of the The Benny Hill Show, which is played while showing characters running very fast around the screen.

The term was coined by Jon Blow, the author of Braid and The Witness, during development of his Sokoban-inspired game.

Beneyam

An extremely hard black out, perhaps you wake up with an IV in your arm after getting your stomach pumped, or perhaps you wake up next to an ugly ass hoe, without any idea of whether you hooked up.

“Bro what happened to you last night?”

“No idea man I Beneyamed so tough.”

Benzyl chloride

Benzyl chloride (BnCl) is a molecule that is a used to make pharmaceuticals and can also be used to make Phenyl-2-Propanone. Benzyl chloride is synthesized from toluene (benzyl hydride) by chlorination with TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid, pool chlorine) in sunlight with lithium bromide as a catalyst. The lithium bromide makes it so that you get benzyl chloride in hours instead of days. Phenyl-2-Propanone is synthesized by adding benzyl chloride in diethyl ether (or even better, dibutyl ether for higher yield) and adding magnesium turnings. You make benzyl magnesium chloride. Then you react it with acetonitrile and then do a hydrochloric acid work-up to get Phenyl-2-Propanone.

I reacted toluene (benzyl hydride, paint thinner) with TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid, pool chlorine) in sunlight with lithium bromide catalyst and got benzyl chloride in a matter of hours.

Benny Hill

1. A cheeky British comedian, born Alfred Hawthorn Hill. In 1955 he started the Benny Hill Show on the BBC.
