AVincentInSpace,

god dammit. her laptop isn’t even labelled. there is no text on it anywhere. nothing except the black chassis and the grey rectangle at a 45 degree angle.

WHY DO I KNOW IT’S A THINKPAD?

it’s like the minimalist meme trend that was going around a while back but for brand recognition. I am not okay with the knowledge that I’ve beensoo easily programmed.

Replace C with javascript and it’d be more accurate imo.

Opafi,

But you can’t do everything in js? Ever tried writing an operating system in an interpreted language?

I’m talking more about a language that’s just everywhere it doesn’t need to be. But I guess that’s also my hatred for JS speaking.

riodoro1,

Given enough preprocessor magic you can write everything in C.

Especially shitty code.

RecluseRamble,

What can’t you write without preprocessor magic?

magic_lobster_party,

Good code

riodoro1,

Was gonna say exactly that. Writing macros is like writing one liners in python. It’s cool that they work but keep that shit on stack overflow.

My dad could do more with one line of c, than most coders could do in their entire career.

mostly because his formatting sucked balls and he kind of just left everything on the first line.

noerdman,

It saves space! Hard drives are expensive. Each whitespace is like… a whole byte! On Windows, a new line is two bytes!!

bionicjoey,

This reminds me of the guy who submitted a PR to the GitHub mirror of the kernel “minifying” the code for greater efficiency.
