I love that you can make c look like a dynamically typed language by simply only using one type and having that type be int

*It doesn't work*

As a representative of the Free Pascal Discord, we would actually really be grateful for your help, we've started work on a modern Pascal website so it would be great for us to have some help :p

I find the idea of putting the chat into the subtitles interesting, although it just confused me when I didn't quite understand something you said, so I enabled subtitles to get a clue and then got something that had nothing to do with what you said XD

the only actually interesting programming channel posted again, we eating good

Have you seen the IOCCC (International Obfuscated C Code Contest). They do a bunch of stuff like this and format their code in really wonky ways!

This video inspired me to write a C lexer that formats itself into frames of bad apple video ascii art.

On my first job I rewrote the whole legacy code of the project from C++ to Pascal.

I adore your focus on C i am an Assembler Developer and you are so valuable!

I really appreciate the video! Earlier you referenced that Gameboy and Pokemon Blue wasnt that familiar because different places exist in the world.
Thats fine... but you could bridge the gap by teaching people what the equivalent for you would be... instead of just leaving people to feel shamed for misunderstanding something

"Marketing is comercial propaganda"
In portuguese at least (probably other Latin languages as well), the words for "ad" and "propaganda" are the same (just "propaganda")

The moment I saw you're using Emacs I knew it would be a worthwhile video.

Lost it at the reference in the title. Great content creator work, third owner of zozzing

"This is valid C, " he says about constructs that have been invalid since C99

In the final code you have the second to last line overflowing on the right block by two characters and the string right in there is unecessarily split. So you could merge those two strings back together (just remove the two quotes in the middle) and that line would perfectly fit the block.

The IOCCC is an old fun contest where you have lots of impressive little programs like that. Some of them are incredible, like self modifying programs. The Tiny C compiler was created first as an entry to the IOCCC.

Potato Conway was the best, lol.

front and back can be declared with octal notation: f[010][020];b[010][020]; Then the other vars can be named f010, f020, b010, and b020.
