Meme transcription [Kid drowning in pool]
In the background a person plays with a kid in the pool. The person is labeled “Companies updating their website”. The kid is labeled “The company logo”.
In the foreground a kid seems to be drowning. It is labeled “Useful information”.
In a second panel a skeleton sits at the bottom of the pool. It is labeled “The copyright year”
No no, we do
time_t t = time(NULL); struct tm tm = *localtime(&t); tm.tm_year + 1900;Everyone writes their web server in plain C, right?
The cool thing to do now is to write it in Rust, only using the standard library.
And I hate it. Nice concept, but I don’t like neither, the language nor compiler.
It’s a very different vibe. I remember my first seg fault in C - kids days are missing out!
It’s okay to be wrong
std::mem::transmuteYes, but
float Q_rsqrt(float number) { long i; float x2, y; const float threehalfs = 1.5F; x2 = number * 0.5F; y = number; i = * ( long * ) &y; i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 ); y = * ( float * ) &i; y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); return y; }Please don’t tell me you, unironically, actually use the Carmack rsqrt function in the year of our Linux Desktop 2024.
Also if you like, you can write unsafe Rust in safe Rust instead.
No. But somebody may be.
