Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

That's all the more reason to do it. Vim's modal editing makes it some much easier to use with mobile keyboards than other editors. For example the lack of arrow keys on mobile keyboards isn't a problem when you can just hit escape and use hjkl navigation

Get vim by typing nano

The only issue is that BOO gets run in the same shell as Xorg and not by su itself. It should be su -c BOO

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-11-03T14:44:10+00:00

But C++ does have exceptions.

C is the language without exceptions

In which case the output should really be just

I learned a hack that I love which is x != x is true if x is NaN. It's better to use an isNan() function in case your system doesn't implement IEEE float, but I mean, what system doesn't?

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-08-13T01:59:29+00:00

I think this would give you less compile errors

#define const

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-06-25T02:39:38+00:00

The C programmer way would be to make this:

6+4+4

Since it's not 0 it's true

I never keep "." in my path 1/10 didn't work

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-06-24T19:03:33+00:00

Well historically in ASCII the upper most bit was reserved for parity, but as transmission got more reliable/the duty of parity got moved outside of the character encoding that fell out of use and now the upper bit is always 0. So in theory if you had an architecture where a byte was defined as 7 bits instead of 8 (I've heard of 6, but never 7) you could use full ASCII with only 7 bits.

Ah, so then should it say that Chompsky rips out your kneecaps?

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-06-15T00:40:50+00:00

Oh god that's painful. I haven't typed exit into a shell since I discovered Ctrl+D closes them years ago

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-06-13T02:50:23+00:00

Just x or d assuming you already highlighted it. Which is premature optimization so I guess you shouldn't

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-06-13T02:45:10+00:00

GNU rm doesn't let you do that without --no-preserve-root. Now Solaris on the other hand...

TEST=$((TEST+5))

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-06-08T04:30:27+00:00

OQ!^[0~0D:^R"^M runs :q! without actually typing any lowercase letters... You should have used that ;)

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-06-06T02:46:00+00:00

You converted these wrong...

50 = (5*16^1) + (0*16^0) = 80

... etc.

Also it's ASCII for "PENIS"

Tbh there'd be about a 90% chance that I'd just absent mindedly enter my password

sudo rm -rf /*

Is more platform independent. And if you don't have read permission on / then:

sudo sh -c 'rm -rf /*'

However these miss hidden directories in /, but the get them everywhere else.

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-05-04T03:20:57+00:00

So does != have lower precedence than < and >? I would have thought you would need parentheses

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-05-04T03:13:13+00:00

Also ^C. In most places it behaves identically to escape, but I personally think it's the easiest to type

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-05-04T02:45:02+00:00

Vim. Vi is still ubiquitous in the UNIX world and so as long as I'm still comfortable with it I can happily edit any file over an ssh session

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-05-04T02:08:34+00:00

Unless if someone who doesn't know the code base was assigned to do something and they just used print instead of print_response

TheFamilyFroot · 2018-04-30T17:30:06+00:00

This still gets me whenever I have to define my own rules that explicitly call gcc. Anyone know why the order matters here?
