#low level programming

[that-red-bastard]

working with memory in low level programming beyond malloc and free is so funny

like, what do you mean the OS actually reserves 4kb on an alloc and gives me the size I want, instead of only reserving the 16 bytes I ordered?

and what was that? I need to ALIGN my pointers in a arena? THEY'RE ALREADY ALIGNED IN 8 BITS BRO, THATS THE WHOLE REASON WE INVENTED THE BYTE

oh you gotta be kidding me. I need a header for every allocation in a stack allocator? at least is something small right?... 8 BYTES???? FOR EACH ALLOCATION???? IN THIS ECONOMY????

Low level programming, but in the sense that I'm not very good.

genuine question. is there a programming language that’s literally just C with a borrow checker. i really don’t want to learn what a monad is for low level memory safety

you and your friend are watching the mario movie, trying to see who can point out the most nintendo lore

call that a reference counting pointer

Rust be like: “yeha you can easily call C functions from Rust” and then tells you unsafe

C++ be like: Yeha you can easily call C++ and C functions it’s trivial and then be like extern "C" and don’t fucking use C++

C be like: Buddy we are the function and then crash you back to login

The bad part about getting such deep experience in my field is that it gets harder to share my joy. I'm having fun! I'm solving hard problems and feeling pride in my answers! But now it's hard to describe those wins when I want to celebrate with someone. Not impossible, but it's so much work.

That said, my blogging about programming has been wonderful for slowing down, editing, crafting a story for a wide audience at a large range of technical knowledge. It's the place I think I'm best equipped to communicate when I want to cheer with my people.

The

BASE NUMBER System

From base 1 - 36 to base 2 - 36

Use only numbers 0 - 9 and   A - Z

this is base table : (Base=Red) 

 (Input/output value=blue)
