1·13 days agoAt least since C99, I’ve seen a trend where ISO tends to bring in unnecessary C++ features in. In fact, the current boss of WG14 quite explicitly calls for bridging gaps, modernising capabilities, and bringing select features (like
constexprobject definitions and ergonomics) closer to what developers enjoy in C++, while “balancing C’s unique philosophy and design constraints”. I don’t suppose it sat well with most C developers who feel C++ has evolved into a language of its own and that we shouldn’t try to bridge gaps that don’t exist. And consequently, the very fear of “dead on arrival” features have already crept in. Off the top of my mind, VLA is one such example. Appeared in C99 and is now a deprecated feature.That said, C89 is, for most parts enough to express that largest chunk of your codebase. But sure, you might need a little bit of size guaranteed integers, so you could borrow that from C99. What’re you left with? The convenience of declaring variables midway? That’s about as far as it goes. In very rare circumstances you might want to statically assert macros is global variables. Sure, pick C11 just for that task.
If I really need some awesome syntax sugars, I’d rather use one of those modern languages like Zig, Rust and what nots…
36·1 month agoSubcultures among subcultures have existed for as long as humans in their infinite creativity existed.
-
Babyfurs and Diaper Lover Furries-They focus on regression. And they really love diapers.
-
Densha Otaku - They love photographing trains. They also get extremely violent when you ruin their shot of trains.
-
Cyberdeck Builders- They build retro computers with 80s SciFi aesthetic and take things too far… Using or even building hardware to mimic timigs exactly like they behaved in 70s.
-
Grandmacore - People obsessed with grandma aesthetics. Very. Very. Obsessed.
-
Swedish Raggare - American 1950s greaser culture filtered through rural Sweden and dialled to 11.
-
Sapeurs - Rural Kinshasa men spend 1000s of dollars, sometimes sacrificing rent and food, to buy high end designer shit from Europe. They walk through dirt roads dressed like 19th century French dandies.
-
Otherkin & Therians - They think they aren’t humans or at least partially non humans.
-
Birds aren’t real- They think birds aren’t real. And that they are all robots, drones sent by CIA or other secretive gangs.
-
Chronological Revisionists - Popularised by a German historian named Heribert Illig, followers of the Phantom Time Hypothesis believe that the Early Middle Ages (specifically 614–911 AD) never actually happened. They claim that Holy Roman Emperor Otto III and Pope Sylvester II completely fabricated three centuries of history, including the entire existence of Emperor Charlemagne, just so Otto could rule during the monumental year 1000 AD. According to them, we are actually living in the early 1700s.
-
The Tartaria - They believe that a technologically advanced, global utopian empire called Tartaria existed until the late 1800s. This empire supposedly used the domes and spires on old buildings (like world’s fair pavilions or old European castles) to pull free, wireless electromagnetic energy straight from the ether. They believe a massive, worldwide “Mud Flood” wiped them out, and modern history was rewritten to hide the existence of free energy.
-
Deros Believers - Shaver claimed that humanity used to share Earth with an ancient, advanced race. When the sun started emitting toxic radiation, the advanced race fled the planet, leaving behind their underground cities. According to Shaver, these caves are now inhabited by Deros (Detrimental Robots)—degenerate, sadistic humanoids who use the abandoned ancient “ray technology” to project voices into the minds of surface-dwellers, cause freak accidents, and steal our thoughts.
There are a few more… But I’m too bored to type them here.

I’d recommend not to alias compilers like that. Rather, if you’re interested, you could just use a simple Makefile like shown below and get it over with. Save it into a file called
Makefile(yes, uppercase M followed byakefileall lowercase) in the same directory as yourprogram.cfile.Note, I have used
-std=c89but you can delete that line or maybe even use a more modern standard such as-std=c23if you like. If you delete, both gcc and clang will default to the latest ISO standard supported by that version of compiler.Also since you’re compiling only a single file, I have used
program.cas input producingprogramexecutable on UNIX. To run thisMakefileyou need to invokemakefrom the same directory asMakefileon command-line as:make W=1to enable all the warnings and compile. If you set
W=0it will not warn or even print any diagnostic unless compiler really cannot generate the executable. You can also passD=0for optimised/release build,D=1for debug build so you can backtrack ingdb. You can also passA=1if you want address sanitisers enabled. It will report if your program is touching or even looking at pointers/memory regions the wrong way, leaking memory or just generally doing operations that cannot guarantee correct behaviour. PassingV=1will display the exact command executed to compile, otherwise it will silently compile.Here’s the full
MakefileI use:# Control build verbosity. V ?= 0 ifeq ($(V),1) Q := else Q := @ endif # Control DEBUG (1) or RELEASE (0) build. D ?= 1 # Add some warning flags?

For 1, I’d like for you to think you’re telling a story, one that is really air tight and unambiguous. If you think putting all the calls in main() can help you tell that story, then so be it.
For 2, of late industrial software development has largely moved to keeping variables as local as possible so its easier to express provenance. This has been the case for at least a good 3-4 decades now.
At no extra cost, I’d like to give you an unsolicited advice. If you’re using modern, real C compilers like gcc or clang, I’d strongly recommend you pass
-Wpedantic -pedantic-errors -Wall -Wextraon the command line.gcc -Wpedantic -pedantic-errors -Wall -Wextra -Werror program.cand if you’re using clang, also pass
-Wmostalong with the rest. Learning C is one thing. But following the standard rules right from the start, it will save you from unexpected grief later on. If you try compiling your code under these flags now, it will refuse to compile. I’d suggest you try fixing as much as you can, then go back to compiling the normal way until you get a hang of things.
Do you want an actual answer?
MKUltra was shutdown long ago, but several fragmented research continued and still lives on. MKNAOMI, MKDELTA, MKSEARCH were immediate successors. Later, ruwre was StarGate. And many many more undisclosed human experimentation.
Intelligence community behavioural science seems to be one such project, where they teach interrogating resistance, psychological profiling of adversaries, influence and propaganda analysis (not direct brain control).
While modern variants don’t have any official names or are even disclosed, its safe to assume they still are conducting human experimentation. Just much better and much less fan fare.
5·2 months agoIts just too many things packaged and loaded in that question. Haha
If you are a brilliant engineer, you might build an amazing feature. But if you are a director managing 5 teams of 8 engineers, your decisions affect the output of 40 people. Even a small 1% improvement in their efficiency multiplies across the whole group, resulting in massive financial impact.
If a VP makes a strategic mistake, an entire product line gets canceled, and 200 people lose their jobs. Higher pay is often a premium for taking on that personal and financial risk.
On the flip side, traditional corporate structure puts a cap on individual value. They operate like early 20th century assembly line, where a deeply technical engineer is seen no different than a blue collar drone.
As for the “being seen” situation, its not about being seen by your bosses. Its more about being seen by your family and friends. At least in certain cultures, “man of the house” is expected to weild power over others outside their house too. While some are OK being called potty as long as they’re paid forty, not everyone subscribes to it.
2 things come to my mind
- Social pressure - There’s a need to be “seen”. Being a technical expert on ground doesn’t make you " seen".
- Money - The higher you go, the more money you make.
