I just wish they would just admit it already and good programmers wear compression socks. Helps with blood flow and reduces issues with sitting. It you want a nice pattern to each their own.

Quite frankly I wouldn't recommend learning C these days except for maintaining, there are better languages e.g Rust, Go, Zig, Swift. And the Eu and US are cracking down on unsafe Code including open source.

A-ha, better languages my ass. They may make some specific job easier, but calling them good just because of that - nuh-uh. I would (and actually will) rather spend time learning to properly use C or C++

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I call them better because C leave security holes in everything it touches.

Nothing a Valgrind pass can't solve. A surprisingly number of developers I've met have never heard of this tool, surprisingly, which is probably one of the reasons why people advocate for Rust. Can't really protect against developer ignorance without a strict language.

security holes

They are called easter eggs and they are a feature.

So, not the programmers do this, lol?

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't matter, the Eu and US and others will make it irrelevant before anyone new has a chance to learn it.

[–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I like your optimism (really mean this)

And good luck to them (sarcasm)

Agreed, I only found one of these with the C book in it. I think it would make much more sense with the Rust book.

According to kittenzrulz123, you need a choker and a skirt to go with the Rust book.
Also, some specific ThinkPad apparently. Guess my R52 won't do.

I don't think Thinkpads can be bought off Amazon, they're more of an Ebay purchase.
