What's worse, being overrun by gangs that randomly rape, rob, and murder civilians every day, or the government falsely imprisoning some people? Oh wait, the government does that anyway, regardless of if they stop the gangs. See gitmo.

It used to be one of the most dangerous places in the world, then the new president cleaned it up by rounding up anyone with a gang tattoo and throwing them in prison forever. Now it's apparently one of the safest countries in the western hemisphere.

When there's a single gang murder now in some village, they send thousands of cops and soldiers to physically surround the entire town then systematically search it door to door until the culprits are caught and thrown in prison forever. Solving organized crime is easy if you have a competent and ruthless leader.

wake up babe, new pope just dropped

If setting up postgresql is too complicated, you're out of your level.

If the tiniest details of your dev environments are critical, like which minor version of some lib you're using, then your software is brittle and poorly designed.

If you can't write a script to set up a new dev environment (nearly) automatically, then your system is too complex and will be a nightmare to maintain.

Docker saves a tiny bit of time sometimes while greatly complicating simple tasks like connecting your database to your application.

Docker is for people who don't know how to administrate a server, so they put a server in a server because that'll fix it.

This is about 70% macros. Much more readable than the alternative.

You could override free with your own allocator that makes freeing null run the syscalls to wipe out the TLB cache. Because reasons.

Proper C should be 70% macros.

Debugger tells you where your shit crashed, and lets you see which variable is at fault.

Also, wrap your printf something like this:

It didn't fall back into the debugger so you could inspect it?

You weren't testing code outside of a debugger were you? ... were you?

You never know. It's not mentioned in a lot of tutorials, and if you're working on a linked list and getting basic errors, you might be new. I don't keep track of who's at what general level.

A mouse is a fair bit slower than a keyboard. It's like the difference between using a touch screen to turn on your windshield wipers or just flicking the mechanical knob.

Also, if you don't know about and use valgrind, you should.

#define free(x) do { if(x) free(x); } while(0)

Where's your rap sheet? How many federal agents have you redacted? How many states are you wanted in?

Big guy on the internet probably doesn't even lie on his taxes.

what a noob.

Also, technically, if I recall, email addresses can have some strange form of comments inside them that makes it impossible to parse with regex. I've never seen one in the wild, and don't know if any software actually supports it.

They never told us fuck all that was worth hearing, especially about women.
