Why are you posting your fap material here?

>>15162
I don't like the fuckhuge C compilers. I don't trust a language that I can't write my own compiler for. That's why standard C is a mess, as Terry said. Once upon a time, it might have been ok, like maybe (but I'm not even sure) in the 80's like wigger-poster >>15168 said, but it sure isn't today. I mean back then you had C compilers that ran on 8-bit computers in CP/M. But IIRC, the one in the video below isn't actually ANSI C but the old K&R.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGWshrMZcCc
Also Eric Chahi said the C compilers on Atari ST sucked bigly in the 80's. If they couldn't do write a decent compiler for sweet ass 68000 when C standard was smaller, how the fuck does anyone stand a chance now, when hardware is beyond fucked and standards are insane.

Why can't you make your own iterator?

void main () {
	iterate (i, 123) {

	}
}

might be better off getting a hot girl to sign up for onlyfans for you and fake an id that they ask for and upload that for verification. Then just upload fake pics of pussy and tits and shit. I don't know somebody to do this or I would try it. Unironcally I know a girl but I fucked up and talked shit to her cause shes crazy asf lol but she was hot and perfect for onlyfans. Also you could go to sex chat rooms and post pics of nude girls then ask for cucks to cashapp you. This is a grueling process though and super scumbaggery and you have to sex talk up fat incels which is extremely gay, but if you're jewish you will succeed. 


Has anyone unironcally done this? Gone to chatrooms, pretend to be girl, ask dudes that message you within 5 seconds of posting a pic for a cashapp for more pics?

>>13933
They seem to be cracking down on this more. My Cashapp account was shut down because I paid a whore with it once. I never really used cashapp so when I opened it one day it was closed. I thought only the whores accounts would get shut down, apparently not.

OP here, not doing much lately sorry. Focusing on my career for the most part now, forgot to make time for this side work. I'll get back to it from now on, I swear, im so fucking broke right now. Lately i have seen some people doing airdrop stuff through telegram shit coins, so im asking around. I don't really have a full structure course that i could find, so right now im kind of a lost sheep on this topic. But im watching some channels to get the basic image, maybe i will find some groups that can at least openly share the basic paths. The ones that managed to get money doing this, they hide their craft like cat hides their shit.

>>15123
So the basic description here is that, these shit meme coins usually have some kind of dumb games that reward players with its own coin. Now instead of using one account to play, how about you emulate 100 accounts. And then I guess they managed to sell that meme coin somehow? I mean i never tried this before, but i want to learn how it works. Anyone here has been doing crypto stuff? Where can i learn this? About these emulation, usually these people buy used workstation cpu and have like 100 gb of ram, they don't write their own software but have to outsource to some code monkey. Now if its automation, I’m guessing the code monkeys are using some kind of automation framework like selenium, cypress, robot, playwright,...Maybe I could make money doing this, I do have some experiene working with these tools.

Is there anything like the Mechanical Turk but for real programming projects? I just want to freelance, I don't want to deal with people or selling my time rather than my labor.

>>15087
The new Making Embedded Systems book has sections on interview questions. There are so many different microcontrollers and peripherals that no interviewer expects you to have experience with the specific hardware they are using. in my experience the main thing they look for is solid C programming skills and then they will teach you what you need to know about the hardware once you've got the job.

Im taking the Java OCA soon, god damn is this shit hard? I have around 2 weeks to practice. 5 mins in the mock exam and my brain is already turning to mush. Any tips to ace this test? Im grinding a book on this also.

>>15085

You don't have a "right" to other people's labor. As long as it requires labor to collect and sanitize and distribute water then you don't have a "right" to it.

>E-mail as a "human right"... that sounds rather ominous... 
There is no way for government to interfere with the market like this without fucking it up.

<pass a law that says all email providers need to give free email service
That would force all the small email providers to close and only big ones like gmail will survive because they already sell your data to cover the cost of the "free" email service they provide.

<raise taxes and use the money to pay private companies to give all citizens "free" email
In that case the biggest corpos with the best lobbyists will get the funding and the small independent providers will die out. Remember the government does not create wealth so when they spend money they are spending 'your' money. So this would literally just be a new tax everyone is forced to pay directly to google.

Who even asked for self-driving cars in the first place? This is the stupidest idea ever. They'll never be safe! Modern appliances keep getting shittier every year, but somehow they think this is going to be any different? No, it'll be just another shitbox. And on top of that it'll be even more complicated and less repairable than any of the recent cars. Great for the manufacturer and dealers, a nightmare for everyone else.

Car accident statistics improved too much so a sustainable way to correct them was clearly needed.
I don't think autonomous automobiles are a tech dead-end per se but they'll never happen with society, industry and economy in their current state of absolution.

>>14847
If they wanted realistic autonomous transportation they would just invest money into tram and metro lines. The latter can already work without a conductor, and teaching an "AI" to handle a tram would be at least semi-realistic on the long term, because it just has to learn not to close the door on someone. Although that might be still too complicated for big tech.

I think 08 was ok in the beginning, but only a couple weeks later they added a requirement to generate IDs for posting, allegedly to deal with spam. Problem: you had to connect over clearnet to generate an ID. I bailed at that point, since I was already unhappy with the sluggish web interface.

>>14600
Some of those clients might have an option to use a proxy server, but otherwise they should work via torsocks.

The web is overkill for this. All you need is gopher.

>>14603
>Problem: you had to connect over clearnet to generate an ID.
Uh, no?
The ID generator was hosted via Zeronet as well, though it didn't werk half the time.
What killed 08 in my opinion wasn't so much the need for nigger IDs which you could generate and swap to as needed provided the ID generator wasn't overloaded again but the fact that the IDs/usernames of other users were visible by default with only a clientside option to hide them rather than IDs being represented by per-thread hashes during normal use and only really applying in the case of clientside bans, with no way to make them visible outside of perhaps BO admin tools.

This is kind of a known problem, and the solution is creating a separate tiny version (or several) of each icon. See the GIMP pic.

I did some tests and it seems SDL2 can't into DPI awareness anyway (at least not yet) so here's a Windows-specific solution that does not require you to change your code:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/63987034
1. Create a manifest file.
2. Create a resource file that includes the manifest file name.
3. Compile the resource file using windres and link the resulting object into your executable.

Yes, and also no.
1. When I started setting up file importers/exporters, I realized that using libraries is way more fucking annoying than I remembered it being. I thought I'd just have to include some library header files and maybe fiddle with some compiler settings and then just learn how to use the library, but actually I need to start downloading build tools and subscribe to their way of building it. I am autistic and invented my own building methods so I had forgotten all about that. I did make the file exporter/plugin system itself by using stb_image as a placeholder though.
2. I tried loading a 51000x74000 image which I've struggled to use in other programs before, and I can't even get that open. I have a downscaled 26000x37000 version but that doesn't load either. This could be a limitation of stb_image, and I realized much later that I may be using 32-bit ints in some memory allocation functions and that may cause a problem.
3. I was fine with the mediocre rendering performance ( >>14161 ) and was thinking I can optimize stuff later, but when I got some version of that large image open, the rendering performance was even worse, even when I viewed it at 1:1 scale. The program doesn't even access the pixels that are off-screen so I don't know why they would affect the performance so much. It's smooth on a release build but I rememb

>>14714
I think you're aiming too high from the get go instead of creating a minimal viable product and iterating on that. Write a paint program that does the bare minimum, and make the code as modular as possible so you can rewrite/remove parts of the program at any time.
>using libraries is way more fucking annoying than I remembered it being
Many libraries have a complex build system that really boils down to "compile these C files together while #defining some macros". If you have the time and patience, track the build commands of each library and then do them "manually" as part of your own build process.
>I may be using 32-bit ints in some memory allocation functions
Always use size_t for these operations and perform sanity checks before allocating to detect overflow/underflow. Also enable ubsan in your compiler.
>I don't know why they would affect the performance so much
If you're comfortable sharing your code maybe anons can take a look at it.
>so exporters can add their own export buttons
This may be a bit too ambitious. I would suggest letting go of the whole importers/exporters paradigm (at least for now) and just compiling support for the different image formats right into your program. If your code is modular

>>14745
>I think you're aiming too high from the get go
I may have unrealistic expectations for the rendering performance, but otherwise there's no problem.

The importers and exporters are already done and work, there's nothing complicated about those. The only thing that doesn't work are the third party file decoder libraries that I would need in any case. Speaking of libraries, stb_image is using a regular int for it's buffer size variable, which limits the buffer to ~2 GB. A 25000x25000 RGBA image requires 2.5 GB of memory when uncompressed.
>If you have the time and patience, track the build commands
I really don't. I'll almost certainly release the program with the current placeholder decoders and let someone else do proper ones later. Tinkering with some meta build processes makes me want to kill myself and every other programmer on this planet.

>Always use size_t for these operations
It's not that simple. I cannot calculate a data offset if a size or position is stored as 2 32-bit ints ((y*stride+x)*4). In practice I would have to change almost all position/size/offset related variables and loop iterators in the program into 64-bit integers. It's not hard though, I've just never run into limits with 32-bit ints before.

>If you're comfortable sharing your code maybe anons can take a look at it.
There's not really anything to look at. The image data is stored linearly row by row, and the rendering loop pastes the visible pixels onto the window:
Bounds2i b = bounds2i_get_overlapping_area(canvas_bounds_on_screen, window_update_region);
for (i64 y=0; y<b.h; y++) {
