    Worse, they think the problem is that everybody else does not “get” visual design.

    This means they didn’t even make good design. Another example is KDE vs GNOME.

    KDE: “We just did system we wanted.”

    GNOME: “No, you don’t get it, this is design!”





  • If n is smaller than the string length (as in: distance to first null byte) then you’re bound to have garbage in your return destination

    Wha? N is just maximum length of string to copy. Data after dst+n is unchanged.

    In retrospect null-terminated strings were a mistake, but so were many other things, at some point you just have to accept that there’s hysterical raisins everywhere.

    All hail length-prefixed strings!
