  • I’d probably die of hunger or from being overworked for a minor fault in a year or so.

    I could try to create some sort of boat with a low profile, using whatever trash and wood is available, in order to flee by sea (can n. koreans even go to the beaches alone?). Supposing I actually managed to build something that works, supposing that nobody ratted me (from my understanding, family and neighbors are your worst nightmare and will rat you out), supposing that no n. korean patrol boats caught me, I’d still have to manage paddling/rowing on an open ocean for a week or more. No way I’d manage to get enough food and water for that long time. Depending on the time of the year, the sun could prove fatal. Storms are another danger that could fuck me up big time.

    Should everything work out fine (it wouldn’t), I’d reach s. korean shores and turn myself in for asylum and maybe aim for a different continent. Supposing I kept my originally learnt languages, by now I’d know 3 (native br-portuguese, english and native korean), so I could try any anglophone country, or return to Brazil if I’m feeling stupid.













  • In my opinion, C purists are people who REALLY need to wash their fucking dishes, touch grass and get some sunlight. They get too worked up because “all the important things are written in C”, the important things being drivers, kernel and most basic stuff that OS needs.

    Whenever one talks about performance, just reply with “use Assembly” and their argument is immediately invalidated. You can also mention networking, fault tolerance and how Erlang does a much better job than C or C++ could do, which is why “real adults with real jobs” created it in the early 90s

    But mostly, it’s ironic that they’re becoming C-Conservatives, blaming the “hot new language” for bringing “the kids”. You can read the same kind of logic and disdain for C programmers, from LISP programmers, in the Unix Hater’s Handbook (1994)
