god dammit this is actually good 😭. i literally did semantics of programming languages last term too

i mean, yeah? but also the language doesn’t become more complicated with larger programs and you typically don’t spit out thousands of lines of code without compiling at least some of it at least once

it’s not bijective :(

they said that AI would take programmers’ jobs, but in reality it did the opposite :D

easy, just replace system32 with /usr/bin

Correct, we should move slowly and break things

Oh THAT’s what the random freezes were. Got them sporadically on my Arch machine for a couple of years, and never figured out exactly why. (Now I’m using a different laptop that still has AMD graphics, but I haven’t got a freeze yet.)

Because I like compiling everything from source for a 0.2% speed improvement

Where’s the funny. If you don’t fix an issue, it’ll lead to more issues? Is that what it means? No AI slop please

ok but real talk, knees are genuinely one of the most marvellous pieces of biomechanical engineering. They can withstand decades of constant movement, can allow extension (with a lot of force) even when bent 180°, can withstand - and move - hundreds of kg per knee (with enough practice) periodically also for decades, and can comfortably remain with your entire body weight resting on them at any angle from 0 to 180° for any length of time. It’s amazing that everyone doesn’t have constant knee pain or have their knees simply fail altogether.

my best guess: system("bash -c 'echo \\\"¯\\\\_(ツ)_/¯\\\"'");

which will get parsed as: bash -c 'echo \"¯\\_(ツ)_/¯\"'

which will run: echo "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

and since echo just prints whatever was given to it, it’ll print "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" with the quotes

It’s thing! Omni-man says ‘thing’, not ‘part’. I’ve seen this meme format for a few years now and I’ve only just realised it’s a misquote after watching the show. Completely irrelevant nitpick I know but some people might appreciate it.

Wow, massive red flag. How quickly did you quit?

That’s half-right. Upper-case letters aren’t pluralised with apostrophes but lower-case letters are. (So the plural of ‘R’ is ‘Rs’ but the plural of ‘r’ is ‘r’s’.) With numbers (written as ‘123’) it’s optional - IIRC, it’s more popular in Britain to pluralise with apostrophes and more popular in America to pluralise without. (And of course numbers written as words are never pluralised with apostrophes.) Acronyms are indeed not pluralised with apostrophes if they’re written in all caps. I’m not sure what you mean by decades.

The line causing the memory leaks is actually the lack of a line: free().

you have to pay to have your stuff put on the app store??
