Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I wonder what would offend Linus more: A version of the Linux Kernel with C++ or one that breaks the userspace...

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

    The Indian distro BOSS Linux actually uses C++ modules in their kernel fork.

    I know it is a complete joke. But every time i think of c++ i am reminded of this prank article https://www-users.york.ac.uk/~ss44/joke/cpp.htm

    The day I learned that Linus shares my disdain for all things OOP was such a good day for me.

    [–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago (5 children)

    I feel the OOP debate got a bit out of hand. I hate OOP as well, as a paradigm.

    But I love objects. An object is just a struct that can perform operations on itself. It's super useful. So many problems lend themselves to the use of objects.

    I've been writing a mix of C and C++ for so long I don't even know where the line is supposed to be. It's "C with objects". I probably use only 1% of the functionality of C++, but that 1% is a huge upgrade from bare C IMO.

    Yeah it's pretty great, especially when so many people are so quick to assume that OOP is essential for managing complexity.

    OOP is the poster child for solving the problems that it creates itself.

    He is is OK with OOP. The Linux kernel is full of OPP C, but he doesn't like C++

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (6 children)

    He writes Qt C++ for his diving app though.

    He’s not though, you should look into it

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (10 children)

    Look at the kernel code. It's full of OOP C. There absolutely are objects in the kernel.

    Me, when Linus' opinion is different to mine: "Linus has such weirdly strong opinions about this"

    Me when Linus' opinion is the same as mine: VINDICATION
