    Honestly C imo is not that bad. It’s actually a very small specification. There’s not much to it. The actual amount of code you’d need to create a working C compiler is relatively tiny.

    It stuck around all this time because concepts like null-terminated strings, arrays decaying to pointers, etc. are all very intuitive if your working in a language that’s built to be as minimalistic and simple as possible.

    If you understand these things I’d say you’re already past the learning curve. Now just make sure you remember exactly how type definitions are parsed so that contrived type declarations don’t cause you to lose marks on an exam.

    The difficulty with C imo comes with people needing programming concepts abstracted away from them because they never actually learned how their computer represents or processes data.



  • That’s not the same as content distribution.

    Sharing content to clients cannot be effectively done through creative cloud.

    It does not make sense to try and stop the distribution at the level of video editing. Not only is the thought of child predators making regular use of professional editing software completely absurd, but even if you assume they do, why the fuck do you think they would use the inbuilt cloud sharing tools to do so?? They would just encrypt the contents and transmit it over any other file sharing service…

    It makes no sense to implement this measure because it does absolutely nothing to impede criminals, but enables a company well known for egregious privacy violations unprecedented access to information completely law abiding clients have legitimate reasons to want to keep private.

    It is a farce. A smokescreen intended to encroach on customers precious data all the while doing nothing to assist law enforcement.

    Regardless of whoever is voted in in my country (Canada) no politicians will be capable of facilitating a system where in the average working citizen can comfortably afford food and shelter.

    No one can do this because there is overwhelming sentiment that any attempt to socialize necessities necessarily devolves into some kind of dictatorship.

    If you want to suggest I should align myself with those people you’re going to have to do a little better than fear mongering because the writing is on the wall for how the country is going to end up if we keep following this route.

    Being able to vote for one of three people who are either unwilling or unable to ensure some basic standard of living for me is pretty damn low on my hierarchy of needs.







  • This makes no sense.

    You’re basically trying to tell your government that until they respect your privacy more you’re perfectly okay with letting foreign agents destroy your country’s tech infrastructure and voting in ways that makes it easier for them to do so.

    This can end with your own house getting incinerated by your own country’s nuclear arsenal because of your own actions.

    Why don’t you let people who haven’t had their braincells rotted away by meaningless cat videos do their job and pass the damn legislation?





  • I don’t give a fuck about musk. I think hos Hyperloop is beyond idiotic and nothing he makes fucking works. In fact I never even said I necessarily think the state of Tesla autopilot is acceptable. All I said was that categorically rejecting autopilot (even for future generations where tech can be much better) for the express purpose of being able to prosecute people is beyond empty and shallow.

    If you need to make up lies about me and strawman me to disagree you only prove my point. You stopped being a rational agent who weighs the good and bad of things a long time ago. You don’t care about how good the autopilot is or can be. All you care about is your mental fixation against the CEO of the company in question.

    Your political opinions should be based on principles, not whatever feels convenient in the moment.
