Yeah back before github existed, we used sourceforge to host opensource, and you had to use CVS. Then later Subversion.

ah man.. that's a part of the internet I really miss. For those that don't know, the .plan file was a file you put in your home folder, and anyone on the internet could run finger johnc@idsoftware.com (or your own user@server obviously) which would output your status and your .plan and .project files. Which is why people have a copy of John Carmack's .plan file.

Because the execs suck ass, everyone will lose their job eventually an yway.

I prefer using the command line.. but it is nice to be able to use a TUI to select the staging files, so this works out perfectly.

It's kinda amazing how someone can work so hard to sabotage their own public image.

The problem is that if you send a message just blindly, you can be tricked into sending spam to millions of addresses. I do one thing that prevents that, but does violate the standard, I verify there's only 1 '@' in the address.. this technically prevents people with '@'s in their name, but they probably find it impossible to do anything with that address anyway.

If you're going to do a text adventure, don't deprive yourself of using the most English friendly dsl ever, inform 7.

State machines always make me think of the Disk II controller on the Apple II. It uses a state machine to implement reading and writing sectors to disk.

What are you talking about? Compilers can and do flag undefined behavior as errors. I recommend you read up on the documentation of any compiler.

And I recommend you read Chris Latter's essay on UB.

https://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-know_14.html

Where he gives plenty of examples of UB resulting in the compiler optimizing away safety and introducing security vulnerabilities silently. In part 3 he discusses the efforts clang has made to improve on this.

He then went on to make Swift and says this: "Undefined behavior is the enemy of safety, and developer mistakes should be caught before software is in production."

and

"UB is an inseperable part of C programming, […] this is a depressing and faintly terrifying thing. The tooling built around the C family of languages helps make the situation less bad, but it is still pretty bad. The only solution is to move to new programming languages that dont inherit the problem of C."
