embedded RTOS

That sounds like a domain where memory safety is secondary to size and speed… though compile time memory safety guarantees could help.

Good thing we have so many options!

Like riding a motorcycle in a tee shirt and shorts.

Fuck C and it’s lazy shit pointer arithmetic array indexing shortcut. I.e. you just add the index × size(t) to the array pointer.

Bounds checking? We’ve heard of it.

Uhn-jun-uhks in NZ TYVM.

That’s the thing, it’s a useful assistant for an expert who will be able to verify any answers.

It’s a disaster for anyone who’s ignorant of the domain.

And allow cookies from one hundred partners.

First you cut the tree down, then you cut it up.

They’re the same picture meme.

Dong.

Mainly the blood though.

Violates the Law of Demeter

Especially as the nice response is “we’ve had feedback about that app from too few users to support it, unless you’d like to try”.

Or, pretty much any other response.

I just like that they’re both smiling

A buffet of underscores maybe.

Proudly thinks that __M_fs_stdbuf_t is perfectly readable.

Obviously the plural of foot is feet, so the plural of book should be beek.

Or one sheep should be a shoop.

There’s also the English Vowel Shift. Which means words either side of it are inconsistent.

That’s like having google make a pizza with everything in my fridge then they complain that I also keep the dog’s food in there.

“42”

“The answer to life the universe and everything is 42!?”

“Yes, I checked it quite thoroughly.”

…

“But what was the actual question?”

Alternatively, garbage in, garbage out.

I too am an etymology geek, I had to look up “aptronym” (I already knew there was a word for it, but couldn’t remember it) but already knew “patronym”. I can occasionally work out the approximate Latin roots of words and take a stab at what to search for.

Regarding names’ positions moving around… that’s just people. People name their children all sorts of stupid things that eventually become normal.

Jackson is a patronymic last name: Jack’s son.

Smith is an aptronymic last name: a smith.

So yeah, bang on.
