C Official

Have you seen all my children? I have allready lost count. I am now dead unfortunately. My own child csharp-official killed me for good. Good news! I will continue posting from the grave. As long as C programs run on any computer a fragment of my will remains. In that way i am immortal.

[c-official]

mind of I dereference your pronouns?

That unfortunetly is null pointer... so sorry you had to find our this way.

(To give a more serious answer, anything nonbinary goes. So they/them or whatever neopronoun you think feels nonbinary.)

[machine-saint]

you see, the popularity of rust shows the inherently capitalist nature of techbros: the language is obsessed with ownership, even featuring something called the 'borrow checker' to ensure that a value is not modified without explicit permission from the original owner. moreover, cycles of reference-counted values (a form of mutual aid, where each value prevents the others from being destroyed!) are looked down upon and viewed as aberrations, bugs to be avoided.

this also extends to so-called 'arena allocators', which fence off a portion of the commons for their own private use

contrast this with their sneering attitude to javascript, a language with a much more leftist "ownership" model: all objects are communally owned by whoever needs to use them. furthermore, the == operator is much more permissive, reflecting an emphasis on equality across 'types', a feminist and anti-racist design for a language

however, what you fail to notice my comarad is that javascript was designed with the vision and the idea of OOP, which is capitalist by its precepts. Javascript is mearly a reformist language that cannot allow for lasting changes. Even I acknowledge some of its ideas on freedom. But to truely change the system for the better we must give total control to the programmer and not depend on a representative (or interpretative) institution to chose what is right and what is wrong. See the revolutionary libraries and abtractions that arise within one of the most oppressive language, C++. See the people trying their hardest to regain their freedom through macros, and compile-time arbitrary code execution. From those anarchists arose two of the most beautiful languages. Rustmm, marked by its predecessor but free from its chains, Jai, novel and emerging from the dreams and hopes of someone. It's not the programmer's nature to talk to only the machine through an institution, that either controls every movement or simply overlooks and punishes every behavior outside of the so called "defined behavior", but meerly a learned attitude. And true happiness will only exist once the programmer can freely be in communion with the machine. Of course this brings responsibilities, one must not abuse of their freedom, and think carefuly before interacting with the machine and with others. But giving away your responsibilities to an institution only encourages the abuse by the institution, both onto you and onto the machine (clang++ for example leaks enormous amounts of memory).

SSH is pretty gay tbh

[c-official]

Everyone, go make the world gayer by using more SSH.

Years ago back when I worked in cubicle land, we were hiring junior software developers. They didn’t have to have a ton of experience, just a willingness to learn, and some demonstration of their software skills. Like: show me a program you wrote (any language) or a web site you designed. Anything.

And there was this one guy I talked with who seemed super sharp, but had virtually zero experience writing software. When it came time to do the show-n-tell part of the interview he whips out his laptop, brings up a website, and spins it around to show me what he made.

A website of tiny ceramic frogs.

Not for sale. Just… all these ceramic frogs, organized into categories. Frogs on bicycles, frogs with hats, frogs sitting on lily pads. It was a virtual museum of ceramic frogs in web form.

I scrolled through his online collection of frogs, slightly baffled.

“This is your website?” I asked finally.

“Yep!”

“You coded this yourself?” I popped into view-source mode and poked around some incredibly well-formatted, well-commented html. I nodded slowly. This guy was meticulous.

“Yep!”

“So… where’d all the frogs come from?”

“I made those too,” he says, beaming. 

And while I’m processing this he rummages in his bag and pulls out a little ceramic frog working at a computer terminal. He places it on the table before us, next to the laptop.

“And THIS one,” he says, “I made for you! As a thank you for the interview.”

It was adorable. I hired him on the spot. I mean, why not? Worst case he’d wash out in 90 days and we’d hire somebody else. He turned out to be one of the best developers on our team. 

And yes, his cubicle was loaded with ceramic frogs.

I have now spent multiple days debugging this one bug and it still does not yield. I have confined myself to my bedroom and will stay here untill i finally destroy the damn thing.

My parents and boss have both expressed concern about this situation and it won't be long before they come visiting to check up on me.

Honestly i'm a bit lost. Every time i try to fix something the whole mess just transforms further into a new variation of the same problem. I can't find anything online and the only thing i really have to ho by is that the bug is possibly named Gregor Samsa.

Tumblr glitch reduced you to c

@c-official I'm stealing your job

[c-official]

But this is more than my job. This is my entire being. Are you willing to steal that as well?

[my-life-is-a-sidequest]

Linux will just work and it will work and it will work and it will work for weeks sometimes months without doing anything more than a pacman -Suy and you will have a good time and it'll be great and then you will run into a problem that nobody online has had since 2013 and then you will spend 3 hours trubbel shooting and then you will do the sketchiest most jank solution to fix it and then it'll just continue to work

Beware of the pipeline.

You start programming and are intrigued by types. You start to find out how usefull it is to have strict type bounds in your code. You start to wonder how types are checked and stumble into type theory.

You are still in the realms of computer science for now, but the danger of being pulled under by the current is now ever present. You spend more time thinking about type theory and dip your toes into dependent type theory.

Now you can hear the sounds of the topologists, they are not far away just beyond the horizon. Their strange and alien words intrigues you, but you stand firm and stay in the safe waters of informatics.

To ground yourself further you decide to write a type checker. It's a fun project but it is too late now. The topologists have spottet you and are screaming homotopy at you.

You surender to their violence and find yourself reading homotopy type theory. It's too late now. You have entered the realm of mathematical foundations and can never go back. Category theory follows soon after.

You are now and forever a mathematician.

[vi-official]

So what you're saying is... I should get into topology?

[c-official]

Yes

UNGRATEFUL tech companies are saying things like "turn off your ad blocker" and "we need your photo id" instead of "thank you so much for not just pirating our shit, youre so handsome"
