    At least in Europe the year after the copyright statement has no meaning, and even the copyright statement itself is useless. Since if not stated otherwise, no rights are granted by default.

      No no, we do

      time_t t = time(NULL);
struct tm tm = *localtime(&t);
tm.tm_year + 1900;

      Everyone writes their web server in plain C, right?

          And I hate it. Nice concept, but I don’t like neither, the language nor compiler.

              • The C compiler, when I parse a &(float) as (long) (it’s actually an evil floating point hack to run Quake III on an X86_64 CPU emulated in Scratch running on Spotifys Car Thing) (This would never be possible in Rust)

                  Yes, but

                  1. it’s unsafe, therefore not really Rust I’d argue
                  2. it doesn’t look as good
                  float Q_rsqrt(float number) {
   long i;
   float x2, y;
   const float threehalfs = 1.5F;

   x2 = number * 0.5F;
   y = number;

   i = * ( long * ) &y;
   i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );
   y = * ( float * ) &i;

   y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );
   return y;
}

      Well, everyone who’s coding their websites is, yeah. Seeing how almost 10% of all websites use Elementor now and are built by people without an understanding of coding concepts, there are probably plenty of websites that don’t output their copyright year dynamically.

      This happened at my work with internal docs as we switched from an ancient intranet to a new service that had a ton more features but no backwards compatibility so all the pages got updated to PDFs with helpful links that went nowhere and it caused chaos for like 3 months.
