Still learning, they just covered compiler flags in cs. They didn't go into detail yet though.

Edit: I've used python for years and they have something equally dumb. You can have a function in a massive application that is broken and the moment it's called, the application crashes.

At any other point the application will just run as if nothing is wrong even though python evaluates everything at runtime. I'm sure they can't do much because the initial launch would be slow.

It was the only way I could tell how much time is left, I didn't have a phone till highschool. In school counting down the second till school was over was so crucial.

You never watched the braindead slop TV in GTA IV and GTA V. The satire in GTA games is just so funny, especially for an American that deal with dumb politics and social intercourse.

For a second there I thought you were hating on the guy.

His profile name makes me think of something you'd see on GTA TV.

sudo pacman -Syu --needed cups system-config-printer avahi nss-mdns foomatic-{db,db-{engine, nonfree}}

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socket avahi-daemon.service

Edit nss-mdns

Rebooting after helps if it doesn't find the printer right away.

Isn't it already licensed under permissive Apache v2? Anyone can fork and carry on the project without the permission of Google, every manufacturer already does as a result of the license.

Machine code would be a better example of what he's talking about imo. Not an expert or anything of course.

It wouldn't be that much processing compared to the rest of the app. It would lot more efficient than running an effectively infinite loop or arithmetic on an arbitrarily large number as a result of an unsigned variables.

If it's going to compile without any warnings I'd rather the app crash rather than continue execution with rogue values as it does now.

There is so much room for things like corrupted files or undocumented behavior until it crashes. Without the compiler babysitting you it's a lot easier to find broken variables when they don't point to garbage.

I forgot to assign a variable, now it crashes %5 of the time. It's wild how c doesn't default variables to null or something.

How do you pay for car insurance or renters insurance? It's not too dissimilar to that.

Though, I've moved to a state that has deemed me poor enough to give me Medicaid so the taxpayers pay for mine weather I want it or not. It beats paying almost $800 because living with my mother disqualifies me from the affordable care act subsidy.
