Scunthorpe Problem

If only one could buttassinate censorship…

Empty $PATH.

That’s odd… all the projects i use document their install process fairly well, most of them using either cmake or autotools.

The only “terrible” scenarios i occasionally encounter is, yes, trying to automate the android toolchain - i blame Google though, not C/C++ as the Android toolchain is intentionally designed to be used with Android Studio and trying to veer of that is increasingly harder.

Even cross-compiling for windows isn’t that bad.

-std=C++17, check.

A good project manager

A what now?

COBOL is on my to-learn list…

at some point it’s going to be an obsolete language.

Yeah, COBOL went the way of the dodo too.

Word? Not FrontPage? That was an improvement.

Used to work in a place where, to get credentials, a used would need to simple send an email from their mail servers and would be enough… One of them would write a fancy Please add used x letter, print it, have the Head of Whatever sign it, scan it onto non-OCR pdf, then mail it… joy.

Putting up with people and not murdering them.

TL;DR

Ok bye.

even a straight up C program

C++ is not a superset of C.

You do realize you’re in the programming humor community, right?

Found the only sane comment.

if it’s a superior system, then it’ll become the new standard,

That’s not how it usually works, unfortunately…

Anti-cheat software, like anti-virus software, tens to work ar ring-0.

The “C is bad trope” is getting way too old. I’m surprised the author didn’t plug Rust.

the only programming language in the world where these vulnerabilities regularly happen

Maybe because it’s one of the most widely used languages in the world…

TOML

Interesting… me likes it.

It gets more fun if we’re talking SQL data via C API: is that 0 a field with 0 value or an actual NULL? Oracle’s Pro*C actually has an entirely different structure or indicator variables just to flag actual NULLs.
