programmers use int to index over arrays in for loops without writing asserts. That is in fact a problem with the language.

Ok let me get this clear, you're saying that the language is at fault because the programmers don't write correct code. I have no words.

If the loops can be written and the programmers don't write them, the problem is with the language!?

No, it's pretty clear where the problem is with C, programmers.

It looks easy but it isn't.

The second example causes unexpected behavior (and probably ub later) if: min + step > MIN_TYPE_MAX

The last example causes undefined behavior if: max - min < step - 1.

It's just one line. Put this before the loop if the code logically shouldn't trigger this.

  assert( B < B_TYPE_MAX - 4 );

Also the code is clearer on intent.

In terms of sociologic development the middle-eastern countries are considered backwards with their stone-age laws, ingrained religion, and treating women like lesser beings, and yet we may soon be wearing 'burka' like clothing to protects our identity. Of course apart from the physical look, there is no connection between the two.

For the scramble suit to work, publicly available 'mixing' stations would have to be available, which would work like a black box, you could only surveil input and output.

And exits from your house would have to somehow be connected to those stations, or have your house change locations randomly.

The latter could work if houses were mostly in form of larger modular worldwide-compatible shipping containers. Also no windows, we would have VR.

Maybe we are the primitive ones.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in this scale model, I think the part of the building marked with a black rectangle (upper left) is what is currently being built.

It certainly could be, but I think most mistakes are made because of how the process is 'designed'; sometimes an incorrect molecule jiggles (literaly) into a place where it is improbable that it should.

So only about 4Gs? I somehow though it would be more and unsurvivable for humans.

I would say that ionizing radiation isn't the cause of most genetic mutations. It is just too rare and most of it doesn't penetrate the skin anyway, the rest has to be really lucky to hit the cell in the right place at the right time.

DNA copying not being perfect would be the main cause in my opinion.

There is one error on average for every billion pairs copied. The human DNA has 3 billion pairs. So every time a single(!) cell is copied, three mistakes are made.

You don't need any radiation for evolution.

I still haven't seen anyone write what those fraudulent acts are exactly. Since Craig Wright (let's not call him what he isn't) apparently has several companies, these should be some clue about that?

It feels like a rage quit. Completely frustrated when you simply cannot win, there is only one option remaining. Anger and self-pity.

You don't know if he is a sad, broken man.

There is no evidence to believe the post reflects upon his real emotions, and since the man is untrustworthy[0], the post cannot be taken as evidence about his emotional state.

[0]:Whether he is willfully or maliciously deceptive is irrelevant. Even if he has the best of intentions, his behavior is still untrustworthy.

So, will I have to login into something to read the docs now?

Running an ICE car in a garage will harm you (and kill you pretty quickly), running an electric car will heal you.

It sounds cheesy but it true.

Choose carefully, one of those deploys the ejection seat.

I agree. The problem is that those single character names get abused and you end up with code that consists only of them, including the function arguments, which is the worst.

The 'style' even leaked out to file naming: a.c, ab.c, af.c, am.c, c.c, ca.c, cc.c, cd.c, cf.c, ...

Brilliant!

I doubt that this is either serious (unobfuscated) or handwritten code though.

I agree, and I have calculated this a while ago this based on average number of lines a programmer writes in 8 hours. I don't have the actual numbers but unless you type slower than ~30 words per minute, speed it isn't a bottleneck.

I have been using index instead of i in while loops lately. It's surprisingly concise.

Why are you learning it?

Fabien is hinting at the confusion: sizeof(&array[0]) != sizeof(array)

&array[0] and array decay to the same thing, the pointer to the first element if they are used in an expression. But sizeof gives a different result, because array+0 'decays' to a pointer, and array doesn't.

I think the style should be avoided; code shouldn't be compact and variable names should be descriptive.

Artificial example:

    for( int i = 0 ; i < c+j ; i += b )

    for( int count = 0 ; count < sum+extra ; count += skip )

This is the first time I have seen sizeof used like this:

  sizeof( &array[0] )

  sizeof( array )

  &*( array + 0 )

  array + 0 

Edit: (&* array) will also give a pointer.

---

This is just a really convoluted way to write 2:

   &array[2] - &array[0]

   &*(array+2) - &*(array+0)

   (array+2) - (array+0)

   2 - 0

Yay, renewal!

Some of the examples on the comic page starting with: Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies..., are not chosen well.

I think the opposite of a trivial culture is a culture of self improvement, and at least four of those six examples are ostensibly doing something to improve themselves. One is a competitor in online gaming, one is debating online, the two are watching and debating current politics, one is improving his body. Those are all meaningful activities. I understand that they are not intended to be in the context of the comic, and the visual space is limited.

Great comic by the way. Our society seems to be going the way of pleasure, but I don't think it will ruin us.

Actor's forced Snowden deep voice is hilarious. He's trying so hard, and yet it sounds like a 12 year old trying to sound older.

Also expect at least two forced action/drama scenes that never happened.

They are staging the Hong Kong hotel meeting, of which real footage exists, as if it were an action scene.
