@PaniczGodek Some conversions are implementation dependent not all of them.

@uliwitness I'm not saying C is an easy language nor I'm saying everyone has to use it 😉

@PaniczGodek This is the part: " the C language assumes you know what you’re doing" 😉

An int overflow is something common to almost any language as far as I know, and the implicit conversions are documented in the C Standard.

@evgandr yes, the Rusty hype 😀

@tylermumford Using a language that you feel more comfortable with is good, and I don't think it's silly to be scared. Maybe you're not scared by the language, maybe you just have a deep respect for it: with great power comes great responsibility 🕷️ 😉

Why so many people hate C?
Because the C language assumes you know what you’re doing and lets you. If you don't know what you are doing you can learn or you can hate the language.

@jdblair @jschauma your bookshelf looks interesting, maybe you would share more of it? For instance I didn't know about The Art of Electronics

@homecomputer Gracias por contestar. No me di cuenta de que estabas en Argentina, pensé que estabas en España 😅

@homecomputer Hola ¿Dónde lo pediste?

@neongod I remember having the same feelings about the PC. The OS and the graphics looked so primitive compared to my #A500 Ironically, today I use almost terminals with tmux and cli software for almost everything.

I keep enjoying Amiga games with FS-UAE.

@rzolau @elb

I'm on page 36 of the basement and I have to congratulate you both. Awesome work.

You know something has gone really bad with this world when people that make awesome work feels the need to put "Human Made" on their work.

Sometimes I think everything would have been better if we reached plateau at 32 bits.

I'm watching the #BSDCan talks when I have time. I enjoyed this one right now: FreeBSD as the backbone of a vaccine/medication refrigerator monitoring system.

I found it very informative about some features of FreeBSD.
