And yet it’s still easy to write spaghetti code in Java. Just abuse inheritance. Where is this function implemented? No one knows but the compiler!

I would fix that bug but the complete rewrite that management has had me working on for the past two years will make it obsolete anyway.

Mom, put down the phone, I’m using the modem!

That’s when you break out valgrind because you certainly are using uninitialized memory.

I’m trying to remember the last time I actually had a core file. I think core dumps have been disabled by default on Linux since at least 2000.

I don’t use Ruby anymore, but I still use irb everyday as a command line calculator.

Tradition is just dead people’s baggage. Doug Stanhope.

I’m not great with gdb but I think using the x cmd shows them.

Your result is correct, is just not displaying the leading zeros.

It was definitely DDJ… back in the early 90s, right? I once asked Walter Bright (creator of D) if they were related and he told me it was just a naming coincidence.

Because the execs suck ass, everyone will lose their job eventually an yway.

One of the people reverse engineering the M1 GPU for Asahi Linux is a catgirl vtuber: https://www.youtube.com/asahilina

The problem is that if you send a message just blindly, you can be tricked into sending spam to millions of addresses. I do one thing that prevents that, but does violate the standard, I verify there’s only 1 ‘@’ in the address… this technically prevents people with '@'s in their name, but they probably find it impossible to do anything with that address anyway.

It violates the principle of least surprise. You don’t expect the compiler to delete your bounds checking etc.

The way c and c++ define and use UB is like finding an error at compile time and instead of reporting it, the compiler decides to exploit it.

Should focus on getting rid of undefined behavior.

A decade ago I reverse engineered the Macventure game engine, allowing you to play Shadowgate and Deja Vu etc on modern oses. The current copyright holder then paid me to iron out the rough edges and create the official ports currently on steam.

Gdb doesn’t work at all on m1 macs

Very cool. I wonder how portable the theory behind it is. That’s one problem with the m1 macs, gdb doesn’t support them.

Search for Floyd Steinberg dithering. That’s the algorithm used by a lot of classic Mac software.
