…this is so much more cursed than it needs to be. If you want to bash in C just
system("echo hello world");That wouldn’t necessarily be bash though
Fine,
system("bash -c 'echo hello world'");then!Now print “¯\_(ツ)_/¯” with the quotes
my best guess:
system("bash -c 'echo \\\"¯\\\\_(ツ)_/¯\\\"'");which will get parsed as:
bash -c 'echo \"¯\\_(ツ)_/¯\"'which will run:
echo "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"and since
echojust prints whatever was given to it, it’ll print"¯\_(ツ)_/¯"with the quotesI decided to throw my PC in the composter and become a gardener
That was actually the first line of C I’ve ever written so there’s no way I’m guessing the right number of escapes, but I guess I’d cheat by finding the value of each char and printing those one at a time.
Fair, should’ve just said shell
Tsk tsk… forgot to clean up your temp file!
For shame. They forgot to make a script to make a tmp script using mktmp, so they can store their tmp script in the tmp script and have proper cleanup
Always follow best practices, make sure you cleanup by deleting the hello world bash file!
That emoji annoys me more than I would like
As if someone’s telling a joke and saying “This is where you should laugh”
It’s the meme version of a laugh track
Laugh tracks have a purpose though. I understand they’re not to everyone’s liking - and that’s fine, but they work for some comedy shows - and usually they’re from the live audience that sees things performed in front of them.
My coworkers could learn a thing or two from this. For one, it actually works.
Violates CERT C ENV33-C.
It violates oh so much including that.
Fucking brilliant
Now call that C program from some other program in another language.
with open('program.c', 'w') as f: f.write( """I'm not actually going to copy down the program... But you get the idea of the joke. Right?""")Rust, to make it safe.
step 1:
unsafe fn()…Ah yes now I can… dereference a raw pointer (yes that’s essentially the only thing unsafe rust actually enables you to do, it doesn’t disable the borrow checker or anything else, it just allows you to play with pointers)
unsafe fn<'a, T>(p: &'a T) -> &'static mut T { p as *cons T as *mut T as &'static mut T }It is a bit more than just dereferencing raw pointers.

Thanks, I hate it.
Who says C isnt mem safe?
Dave is not here.
Some time ago I wrote a program in COBOL and half of it was just
CALL "SYSTEM" BY CONTENTin the end.I did the same with python once lol.
I didn’t know enoug python or bash so i mixed both with os.system
That’s me with TCL.
I’ve had an eggdrop for years (obviously) and I’m very bad with TCL, so any new script that I want to add is a bash script executed by the TCL script.
TIL people still run eggdrop bots. I don’t think Ive touched one since maybe 2003. was probably the last time I messed with tcl
I still have an IRC server but the eggdrop’s usefulness has pretty much been reduced to fetching YouTube titles and the URL of images on tenor. Its main use was to fetch titles for all URLs pasted on channels where it is, but because me and most of the users are now using TheLounge as a client, there is no need for that anymore, except for a few exceptions. At one point it was also displaying all the things my friends upvoted on reddit, but since reddit closed its API and I came here…
IRC with TheLounge is still very useful though.
reinventing shell scripting. Though I am guilty of this, I do something like this (more complex) but essentially a shell script in rust just because for some application, reading files is slower that way
