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

Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.
Check out the wiki and update it yourself if you want more instead of complaining like a fucking faggot. https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Private_trackers

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 is available, browsers do not offer a way to run your modified version instead of the original when visiting that page or site. The effect is comparable to tivoization, although in principle not quite so hard to overcome.
JavaScript is not the only language web sites use for programs sent to the user. Flash supports programming through an extended variant of JavaScript; if we ever have a sufficiently complete free Flash player, we will need to deal with the issue of nonfree Flash programs. Silverlight seems likely to create a problem similar to Flash, except worse, since Microsoft uses it as a platform for nonfree codecs. A free replacement for Silverlight does not do the job for the free world unless it normally comes with free replacement codecs.
Java applets also run in the browser, and raise similar issues. In general, any sort of applet system poses this sort of problem. Having a free execution environment for an applet only brings us far enough to encounter the problem.
It is theoretically possible to program in HTML and CSS, but in practice this capability is limited and inconvenient; merely to make it do something is an impressive hack. Such programs ought to be free, but CSS is not a serious problem for users' freedom as of 2016.
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 to be written in a documented and unencumbered language; that program must be free, too. “Only free programs transmitted to the user” must become part of the criterion for proper behavior by web sites.
Silently loading and running nonfree programs is one among several issues raised by "web applications". The term "web application" was designed to disregard the fundamental distinction between software delivered to users and software running on a server. It can refer to a specialized client program running in a browser; it can refer to specialized server software; it can refer to a specialized client program that works hand in hand with specialized server software. The client and server sides raise different ethical issues, even if they are so closely integrated that they arguably form parts of a single program. This article addresses only the issue of the client-side software. We are addressing the server issue separately.
In practical terms, how can we deal with the problem of nonfree JavaScript programs in web sites? The first step is to avoid running it.
What do we mean by "nontrivial"? It is a matter of degree, so this is a matter of designing a simple criterion that gives good results, rather than finding the one correct answer.
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 along with scripts that use such constructs. These constructs are:
>>using the eval function,
>>calling methods with the square bracket notation,
>>using any other construct than a string literal with certain methods (Obj.write, Obj.createElement, ...).

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
