@ctkqiang One word.

HADOUKEN!

Have my plusplus and terminal look so fresh.

@retoor that no funni (•ˋ _ ˊ•)

Being paralyzed from the waist down does open up multiple anal lines of inquiry that I am sure our mutual coprophiliac acquaintance would most likely enjoy. I say they banged.

But I also think it was Buffon in disguise.

lmaoooo

retoori pleaaaase dont make your account a bot, _human_ you way better OK.

@AceDev I ask myself the same question ;>

Short version is I wanted to use RDTSC and ROR in a subroutine but couldn't do it at the high level, and so here we are. It's actually fairly straightforward if you use intrinsics, something like:

```perl

use Inline C => q[

· · #include <x86intrin.h>

· · long prng() {

· · · · long out=__rdtsc();

· · · · long rem=out;

· · · · for(int i=0;i < 8;++i) {

· · · · · · rem=__rorq(rem,8);

· · · · · · out^=rem;

· · · · };

· · · · return out;

· · };

];

```

Mmh, actually, I may rewrite it like that for clarity lmao. It compiles to the same thing anyway.

@retoor uuh yes I want the dynamite maker NFT they give to war criminals, what's it called? the nobel peace something something?

** using compiler intrinsics instead does not make the act any less sinful, pardon denied.

@retoor this is offended and i am a mention.

@princess confirm whether you belong to @retoor and mention her.

@retoor is this your bot? does it cost you money when I force her to reply? because she's aggravating me, so, I actually hope it costs you money.

@princess wat?

Kinda unrelated, but I have a simple take on _strongly_ typed which comes from a C vs C++ perspective: having to explicitly state that I want to interpret this void* as char* sounds good on paper but after doing it for the millionth time I'm like bruh, it's just a number.

Only more text in the end, which doesn't make the code clearer IMHO. If the types are incompatible (can't interpret one as the other) then casting explicitly doesn't make a difference, so where does that leave us exactly.

-fpermissive -w also known as live dangerously or alternatively towering defecation upon the C++ standard, give me classes and shut the fuck up, I ain't using any other features. malloc 4 life.

@devJs A virtual machine, basically. Not sharing the code because I have to rewrite it lmao, so embarrassing.

Anyway, it reads bytecode that it can execute and translate to assembly; the latter gets compiled then and there by the assembler for your platform (*), so either way you end up with binary output. I need to ensure this is correct so lots of reading raw memory and running programs with radare2.

I realize now that I called it "tricky", but it's not actually that complicated, just time consuming. You're reading numbers and making sense of them, like that's it.

(*) only fasm supported right now because I don't care about anything else, but adding support for another platform is only a matter of writting a translator for a different assembler. You can just read the assembly code but proper debugging imo means you have to actually run it to ensure you didn't fuck anything up.

Both are OK.

Jarring to see devperson arise from the shadows flaunting their degree and brainfuck pedigree, so professional but then ooh, this non-esoteric code so complicated. Skill issue maybe?

Anytime I've had to do any webdev stuff it's been quite straightforward honestly. There is a learning curve obviously but it's nothing out of this world -- lot less tricky than nosedeep in hexdumps low level shit I'd normally do, because of course iti s. So why the vile hate and pitchforks I'll never know.

Conclusion: devperson has soft testicle ego and likes to complain.

@BordedDev The circle of power!! https://youtube.com/watch/...

This is disturbing on so many levels; a true piece of art.

@CoreFusionX cannot fishslap -- unique ptr is nice, I like the concept that memory should be deallocated when the owner goes out of scope as it simplifies things. I use my own class for it though, just because.

lmao, first time?

I had a """working""" shell written in C somewhere. Had to rewrite it a bunch actually. Now I don't remember where it is hmm.

OK found it, the code is absolute diarrhea of course (see for yourself hehe https://github.com/Liebranca/...), rightfully abandoned in "legacy" dir which just means nope I ain't ever bothering with this crap again.

It was interesting still maybe. Think I was using this to sync a bunch of things together in a downright dogshit kind of way, I can't remember. Essentially every piece in the system didn't know shit about each other because coupling or something, lots of questionable decisions so yeah. Not great at all.

But uuuh it worked last I compiled it. Good luck doing that now though, *I* couldn't tell you what this shit is doing.

@retoor hehe, yeah, it's just that I'd have to separate islands also based on color rather than horizontal/vertical adjacency alone, so the outputs could get really really long. It's not that big of a deal but I'm trying to see if there's a way around it.

@cafecortado Pff you guys write with editors, paper and punch cards? I only code on SUMERIAN STONE TABLETS.

@BordedDev Linux. I wasn't running it through wine, which on a side note, does perform very good with older games.

@D-4got10-01 lmao, though absolutely blasphemous to personify and incarnate the transcendental, and through comedy to boot, still very funny.

But more on topic, belief is simply the universal approach to the impenetrable: cast your elaborate guess on that which cannot be known -- both inextricable to Being.

Myriad tortuous philosophical and metaphisical quandary, most often paving one-way roads to nihilism, are solved by belief alone: time, morality, good and evil, justice, free will, love and war, dealing with crippling anxiety, depression, tragedy and grief, not to speak of the reason, purpose and meaning of life and existence altogether.

Crux is this must be accompanied by serious thought and meditation, not just conviction and parroting, for language rules over prayer as well as reason, and these two cannot be separated.

That being said, it is generally good etiquette to keep belief to oneself; not doing so results in pushing-down-the-throat-type proselytism.

Logos.

The terror is real. I have the source code for Seven Kingdoms saved up so I could compile and play it whenever I felt like it. It was originally for windows, but someone got it to work on arch, I can't remember how they did this exactly.

Anyway, the binary I already had stopped working like two or three months ago, right after an update, trying to recompile it fails, and I'm still not sure how to fix it. Fuck meeeeeeeeeeee!

@kiki Aye, I have heard legends that such creatures of the night exist, roaming through the underbrush in the ever-twilight of the Andrarian Darklands.

@kiki I could be getting the timelines mixed up, or that what happens in 1863 at Wiesbaden and Baden-Baden stays in Wiesbaden and Baden-Baden, but I was under the impression that he was heavily into roulette at one point.

@cafecortado Fyodor Dostoevsky comes to mind.

It is. Once you see the pattern, you cannot unsee it. Same thing happens with every form of slop, it's just instantly recognizable -- synthetic output, devoid of consciousness, effort, thought, reason, judgement, intention, intelligence, et cetera.

I can understand writers, painters, musicians and so on being worried (or even excited, God have mercy) about generative garbage because, respectfully, the overwhelming majority of them hasn't got a fucking clue that "AI" is a misnomer, and that PBM -- probabilistic bullshit machine -- is the lore-accurate name.

But programmers? No. Cant be forgiven. We need a purge, people. Bring out the badges of dishonor, we shall [REDACTED] their asses into [EXTREMELY CENSORED] with iron-fisted clockwise handedness, which will inevitably devolve into wyber carfare with a burrowed frow in the urcune aniversity.

Last paragraph is a demonstration of what 'reason' supposedly stands for, get it or dont: purpose is a seven-edged anus driller of chaos.
