You (group A) think C is simple, that it can be thought of as portable assembly, that it teaches you how computers actually work, and that it's easy to avoid memory safety errors with good programming discipline, and is therefore fine.

You (group B) think C is deceptively complex, is far removed from current-day real world hardware semantics, abstracts memory in an outdated and overly simplified manner, and that it's very hard for even professionals to write programs that are correct to the extent of equivalent programs in memory safe languages, therefore C shouldn't be use for new software development.

I think C is deceptively complex, is far removed from current-day real world hardware semantics, abstracts memory in an outdated and overly simplified manner, and that it's very hard for even professionals to write programs that are correct to the extent of equivalent programs in memory safe languages, which are some of the features that make C so fun and exciting. Like rawdogging a one night stand!

We are not the same.

β€”What kind of gambling do you usually have here?
β€”Oh, we got both kinds. We got day trading and betting.

Grift tech that claims to do awful shit that ruins everyone's lives, but really just makes Stanford grads sit around pretending to invent something while funneling VC money directly in their bloodstreams.

You'd think these would overflow the evil scale and end up back into being ethical but really they're just doing the same thing as the non-vaporware evil companies with just some extra steps.

Thanks, Google. You know, I used to be pretty good at getting consistent, useful results from your search engine, but the improvements you've made to it since the make me feel like I really might need a fucking prompt engineering course to find things on the internet these days. By which I mean something that'll help you promptly engineer the internet back into a form where search engines work correctly.

It's open source trust me I wrote that ELF file directly with C-x M-c M-butterfly.

Here ya go boss, a 80% prototype solution.

/* TODO: support other element types */
unsigned int * maxsumsubarr(unsigned int arr[], size_t len, size_t * sublen) {
        *sublen = len;
        return arr;
}

God knows I like a good DSL, but "complexity over drudgery" just sounds miserable. I also wonder what kind of stuff they're coding that's supposedly trivial enough to be generated by AI.

[–] bitofhope@awful.systems 5 points 2 months ago

Fair enough. Sorry for being rude about it.

Yes, that just reiterates my point, doesn't it?
