Aye, there's the rub.
 
On the other hand, when you're willing to work for free, you can do anything
that you want, there's that.

Afaict, working for Rick has to have some oddities. If you write the
word "damn", well, you might get fired!

It isn't for free. It is for the Lord, and it carries with it a far
greater responsibility than working for an Earthly company because by
your choice to serve Him, you are representing Him. You will be under
far greater scrutiny, intense examination, the subject of mocking, of
ridicule and scorn, and the only reward you'll have comes from within,
and when / if He chooses at some point to bless your endeavors unto
Him.
 
The reward comes in your service to Him, making Him the head of your
life, and pursuing Him despite the world and the people of the world
criticizing your every effort you've given over to Him, doing it all
for Him. He fills you with peace, love, joy, and it endures, even
when under ridicule and attacks.
 
Our faith manifested into action is of great worth to the Lord, far
more so than any Earthly gain. It is our focus on Him brought to bear
for Him, even when under duress.
 
Thank you,

Wait till Rick sees Flibble's variable names, in the code he contributes.

If anything Flibble writes quite good code and uses reasonable names.

People are free to be as vulgar and profane as they wish. The warning
from the Lord is that maintaining that state of rebellion against Him
will result in their sin remaining on them, and judgment+condemnation
coming to them at the end of their life.
 
The message of the cross is a message of hope, salvation, love, peace
between man and God. It is given to all people, but only those who
are being saved will be able to hear it. The rest will rail on in
whatever manner they feel is appropriate until they die, and then they
will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity.
 
Jesus warns us about this in the Bible. Christians warn people about
this in the world. Only those who are being saved will hear His message
and be saved. The rest will perish in their sin.
 
-----
The people who come forward and work on this project will not be
doing it for me. They will be doing it for the Lord. They will
be digging deep within their soul and pulling out the absolute
best they have to offer, such that the thing we create unto Him
is the best we can make it, and is not constrained by concerns
over money, or time, or something else that would curtail our
best effort.
 
Thank you,

Agreed. The code I've seen from him has been excellent.
 
His extreme use of profanity appears to be an attack against God and
me, and not part of his life to the extent he makes it be here, so as
to reach out to me being offensive unto me because I continue to bring
the message of sin, judgment, condemnation, and of salvation and hope
in Jesus Christ, because to receive that message on its merit means we
are no longer in control of our lives, but we admit instead that we
need the Lord.
 
It's a bitter pill to swallow for many. Pride has and will keep many
people out of Heaven.
 
Thank you,

I was thinking Flibble might use a different naming convention for the code
that he contributes to Rick's project. Mere speculation, of course.

Yes, his code is very nice.

What about some distraction from your daily routine?
As part of my master's thesis i'm looking for experienced
C/C++ developers, who also use the C-Preprocessor extensively,
to participate in a survey. It takes about 15/20 minutes of
your time and can be found here:
 
https://survey.syssense.org/index.php/441281?lang=en
 
Feel free to forward the survey url to your developer colleagues.
 
Thanks a lot and cheers!

I'm not talking about the memory mapping hardware nor the operating system.
I'm talking about the Java runtime. References are not memory addresses to
the value itself, but somewhere else. It's similar to how std::shared_ptr
works.
 
The reason why Java references have (at least one) indirection level is
that it allows the runtime to use memory compaction, and it may also aid
in garbage collection.

Most impressive is that Emscripten from C or C++ into JavaScript.
So we can run C or C++ programs in web browsers and thanks to asm.js
it runs relatively fastly. Then the layers of such emulation can be
nested and even old hardware and operating system can be emulated
in web browser smoothly.
 
For example some old MS-DOS games from Digger to Doom-2 ran in web
browser https://js-dos.com/games/
Works in most of web browsers. Haven't tried with IE, but who runs it
anyway?
