Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    C++? Shoot me

    Wat? Don't you dare talk that way about my favorite multiple personality disorder clusterfuck of a language.

    C is the only language, all the rest are mental disorders (/j 😉)

    Edit: maybe rust, but it's on thin ice XD

    I still.like fortran better. (And I am not even lying.)

    For anything mathematical, the fact that Fortran has integrated support for doing math on arrays is absolutely fantastic

    As someone that has programmed professionally a good chunk in C for embedded systems (basically it’s home turf), fuck C.

    the author of C++ said that C gives you many opportunities to shoot yourself in the leg. You have a much less chance for this to happen with C++, but when it does, you will blow your whole lower body off

    Yeah C++ is a bazooka, C is like the death of 1000 paper cuts.

    The paper cuts are all poisonous and kills you anyway.

    C++ is a bazooka that only fires when it’s pointed at your feet

    I haven't used either, but compiled a lot of C source code and they compiled or could be adjusted easier even for someone who barely knows what printf, fopen, or #include are

    The thing with C is that you probaby won't know you messed it up. It happens silently as memory gets corrupted.

    Modern compilers are much more advanced but you still can overwrite stuff in memory with other stuff
