Do function pointers make C a functional language?
Do void pointers enable generic programming in C?
Also doesn't C support OOP?
>inb4 /v/ poster doesn't know about GTK+
Now, what's the point of all these new languages that don't actually have anything more to offer than C does, and C does it faster and with a longer proven track record.
>>54347124
Of course not. C doesn;t support OOP. But you can "Emulate" it using function pointers as struct members. (they still need a reference to the object tho.).
Function pointers don't make it functional, but they did make it more functional than its contemporaries such as Pascal.
Void pointers permit genericity in a very vague, but technically unsafe way. Preprocessor hacks permit genericity in a more statically-analyzable but uglier, clunkier way.
OOP is entirely doable (see: glib) but using C these days is a statement against modern "wisdom", so why would you?
Nice language faggot
Let's see if you can even average two ints without fucking up

In the free software community, the idea that nonfree programs mistreat their users is familiar. Some of us refuse entirely to install proprietary software, and many others consider nonfreedom a strike against the program. Many users are aware that this issue applies to the plug-ins that browsers offer to install, since they can be free or nonfree.
But browsers run other nonfree programs which they don't ask you about or even tell you about—programs that web pages contain or link to. These programs are most often written in JavaScript, though other languages are also used.
JavaScript (officially called ECMAScript, but few use that name) was once used for minor frills in web pages, such as cute but inessential navigation and display features. It was acceptable to consider these as mere extensions of HTML markup, rather than as true software; they did not constitute a significant issue.
Many sites still use JavaScript that way, but some use it for major programs that do large jobs. For instance, Google Docs tries to download into your machine a JavaScript program which measures half a megabyte, in a compacted form that we could call Obfuscript because it has no comments and hardly any whitespace, and the method names are one letter long. The source code of a program is the preferred form for modifying it; the compacted code is not source code, and the real source code of this program is not available to the user.
In addition to being nonfree, many of these programs are malware because they snoop on the user.
Browsers don't normally tell you when they load JavaScript programs. Some browsers have a way to turn off JavaScript entirely, but even if you're aware of this issue, it would take you considerable trouble to identify the nontrivial nonfree programs and block them. However, even in the free software community most users are not aware of this issue; the browsers' silence tends to conceal it.
It is possible to release a JavaScript program as free software, by distributing the source code under a free software license. If the program is self-contained—if its functioning and purpose are independent of the page it came in—that is fine; you can copy it to a file on your machine, modify it, and visit that file with a browser to run it. But that is an unusual case.
In the usual case, JavaScript programs are meant to work with a particular page or site, and the page or site depends on them to function. Then another problem arises: even if the program's source...

A strong movement has developed that calls for web sites to communicate only through formats and protocols that are free (some say "open"); that is to say, whose documentation is published and which anyone is free to implement. With the presence of programs in web pages, that criterion is necessary, but not sufficient. JavaScript itself, as a format, is free, and use of JavaScript in a web site is not necessarily bad. However, as we've seen above, it also isn't necessarily OK. When the site transmits a program to the user, it is not enough for the program...

Our tentative policy is to consider a JavaScript program nontrivial if:
>it makes an AJAX request or is loaded along with scripts that make an AJAX request,
>it loads external scripts dynamically or is loaded along with scripts that do,
>it defines functions or methods and either loads an external script (from html) or is loaded as one,
>it uses dynamic JavaScript constructs that are difficult to analyze without interpreting the program, or is loaded...

Any idea how to keep this bad boy cool? My SSDs go over 65C when I'm gayman. It's a node 202.
>>54345602
Show guts + airflow, probably a bad circulation of the gpu or cpu blowing into the ssds.
>>54345618
Most definitely is the case I feel. Theres no case fans in it. Suppose I should invest in slim profile ones.

still bloated as fuck.
I never actually used an intel atom phone, does it heat up more than average arm?
are they a meme ?
are they worth the money comparing to a recent on board DAC ?
>>54344902
If you don't know exactly why you need a sound card, you don't need a sound card. Same goes for DACs. If you find yourself wondering if you should get one or not, use the integrated sound, its the same shit for your purposes.
>>54344947
thats not the question.
is there really that much of a difference, or is it another "audiophile" voodoo (unmeasurable)
>>54345175
i use one for audio production. you don't need one if you aren't a musician or filmmaker etc but if you like hd audio they're a good vanity buy
