mircea_popescu: no dude. the reason the disease perpetuates itself is the functionally illiterate product of the stunted intellectual life in the colonies ; whereby there's this outpour of idiots who imagine "what i can do" is an acceptable limit of "what i shall do". so they'll be writing things in c "because that's what i know".
mircea_popescu: hey, you just wrote a c complier for addition above! :D
mircea_popescu: so it's more of a fashion / kink high consensus thing than a real matter.
mircea_popescu: the only valid statement of it is that "all other languages bootstrap in c". see recent discussion with phf.
mircea_popescu: (a demand for tobacco powered by europe's elite aiming to protect itself from diseases through smoke permitted richmond to be a thing.)
mircea_popescu: pretty sure that's what gfx people do, for instance, some of the fellows that first encountered 128 bit, 256bit and so forth overflowing ints.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the solution everyone uses is to declare a special class made of arbitrary length bitfields and define procedures on it such as these.
mircea_popescu: ok. chiefly because the fashion in kink high this season is to pretend that fixed memory like this is not even used anymore.
mircea_popescu: none of these map to any code other than asm ; chiefly because fixed memory like this is not even used anymore.
mircea_popescu: myeah. except the one in my head ; cuz if i had made cpus then add dword 0xAABBCCDD, 0xAABBCCDD = 557799BA and adc dword 0xAABBCCDD, 0xAABBCCDD = 557799BA + set carry bit. but then again i dun make them.
mircea_popescu: myeah ; color me satisfied. i thought you have to use adc to pop it and push it both.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> add dword [edi], 0xAABBCCDD << say edi = 0xAABBCCDD. the contents of edi+4 after this will be 0.
mircea_popescu: is something supposed to be processed backwards here or what ?
mircea_popescu: i'd say we are adding two ints to two consecutive memory maps, but w/e.
mircea_popescu: worst fucking idea ever and who the fuck came up with it.
mircea_popescu: i spent 100s of engineer-hours fixing the idiocy of "int" not being 64 bit ; it's a disaster for human productivity directly comparable to the black death.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck do 64 bit platforms even bother with 32 bit ints ffs.
mircea_popescu: "may not use the datastructs you are dereferencing in any control code involving the dereferencing. F."
mircea_popescu: absolute minimum defensive coding for unix ; taught as such decades ago in fucking romanian.
mircea_popescu: i dunno man. "This looks (to me) as good C code as it gets. However, this code triggers undefined behavior: after the first iteration of the loop frees the node pointed to by head, it is undefined behavior to perform the tmp != head comparison, even though head is not dereferenced." << if this looks like good c to him he would have flunked my higschool class.
mircea_popescu: no you don't understand, "Software, lingüística, mitologia nórdica e rock'n'roll". a true renaiswitter man.
mircea_popescu: all the various "c-with-serials-filed-off-because-i-wanna-john-smith-all-over-the-place" inherit this bizarre property.
mircea_popescu: you ever saw a "this should not be in c because it's stupid" in the past 30 or so years ?
mircea_popescu: the ~only thing they produce is "oh yeah, those other people do that other thing ? SO DO WE!"
mircea_popescu: one node higher from that : i was unaware anyone involved actually had the subjective mechanism of indentity. it works like this "don't do that, only gypsies do that, we're not gypsies". that's identity. whereas who in c ever said anything of the kind ?
mircea_popescu: i thought it was like the romanian language, a subjective superset of all languages.
mircea_popescu: (the word itself comes from "manliness" if anyone's curious)
mircea_popescu: i suppose a machete esp in the rula style as seen there is a very credible cavalry sword.
mircea_popescu: quite useful device, also. wrap it in newspaper, crack anyone's skull open.
mircea_popescu: oh yeah, anyone figured what that thing in my hand is ?
mircea_popescu: it may be illustrative to point out at this juncture that well over half of player time in eulora is spent with the character superimposed on a very pike like thing.
mircea_popescu: alrigh alright, you're not a hater, you're just a strange lover.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> the parallels with medieval copyists invite themselves... << it's called scholarship, hater.
mircea_popescu: PeterL for the record, traditionally "not equal" is marked as != not /= because ! is the logical negation and also because / has other meanings ; while "less than or equal" is =< or <= or somesuch, not _<. why invent unexpected symbology ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, at some point you gotta do the "sorry for your lues"
mircea_popescu: that magenta thing had me in stitches though. masterfully done.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "Hillary Rodham-Clinton after putting the few remaining working Americans in a basket labelled deplorables during the weekend her legs buckled at Ground Zero, was discovered to have earlier alleged that many young American leftists were basement dwellers." << huh ?
mircea_popescu: (amusingly enough, he looks almost exactly like lavror, same no-chin cocksucker bugman)
mircea_popescu: they're pretty great to watch ; sort-of like spending some time with the "the official transcaucasia puskin poetry club" and their literary criticism of last year's literary mags.
mircea_popescu: originally i thought it was coke and speed that came in 1/8 oz
mircea_popescu: ahh, document registration within like an hour, for like a cent. such lovely republic.
mircea_popescu: in which we also find that <blockquote><div style="word-wrap:break-word;"> als dun work. because why the fuck would anything work.
mircea_popescu: in which we find that <blockquote style="word-wrap:break-word;"> doesn't work. because why would it!
mircea_popescu: took a while to find. makes a nice counterpoint for all the 2kb long ones
