Reply to comment by musou in I'm feeling really anxious by flabberghaster

Oh, I don't feel bad for speaking the truth, I feel worried that if there's layoffs I will be on the chopping block since I'm the surly downer of the office, is more the concern.

Yeah covid has really shaken my worldview. I thought most people wanted to do what's right to help others but structural issues make that difficult. But seeing how many people are so quick to just refuse to take even the smallest steps to protect others like wear a mask, and instead say if you're at risk just never go outside ever, just... I don't know how to handle that.

Early on when people thought they were at risk, everyone was onboard. But now people think that being vaxxed makes them personally safe, no one seems to give one single shit about taking precautions anymore, since it's other people who are at risk, not them.

This lack of care for others is just... Impossible for me to understand in any other way than just thinking most everyone i see is a selfish fucking asshole, and that's not a healthy way for me to exist in the world.

Cassandra, but the only reason no one believes her is because she can't stop pretending to be joking to diffuse tension created by her dire warnings

Reply to macros are setting my hair on fire rn by musou

OK so this is kind of a pain in the neck to do a lot of times but sometimes you can get the output if the C preprocessor.

Then through careful editing, you can kind of figure out what it's turning in to.

int main(...) {
   WEIRD_MACRO(1, 2);
}

Then you could just put comments above and below it, and run cpp -I/all/include/directories main.c

It will tell you the final output and also have debugging garbage about where each thing expanded from.

Not ideal, and also in a big project that uses a complex build tool it can be incredibly hard to get the cpp args, but it can help.

Remember when the most asinine thing the tech industry had to offer was proprietary juice boxes?

I miss those days.
