From a development perspective it certainly sounds easier to have one global timezone with DST than a bunch of smaller ones without it. Would that make sense in reality? Probably not but I definitely think timezones take more work to compensate for properly.

🤔... I've never liked i and don't use it...not sure why. I keep thinking I should start but alas I just don't.
Yeah, I was ignoring apple platforms because Objective-C doesn't even have its own header extension as an option. Also not all C headers do extern stuff...and it doesn't fix 100% of compatibility problems when you do that anyway. Also I'm not really talking about it from a compiler perspective, I'm talking about it from an organization and human perspective. I know compilers generally don't care...which is exactly how we ended up in this predicament.
Yeah. My original comment should have been "I wish people would use a C++ specific extension for headers." I just picked hpp because cpp seems to be the most widely used C++ extension.
In amd64/x86 kernel space you can dereference null as well. My hobby kernel keeps critical kernel structures there XD.
const volatile is used a lot when doing HW programming. Const will prevent your code from editing it and volatile prevents the compiler from making assumptions. For example reading from a read only MMIO region. Hardware might change the value hence volatile but you can't because it's read only so marking it as const allows the compiler to catch it instead of allowing you to try and fail.
Ngl when Nintendo got yuzu to fold I was like
Well I'm never giving that company money ever again
I'm usually mostly against piracy, not for legal reasons but because I think the creators should be rewarded for their hard work making content people enjoy...but Nintendo can go fly a kite...and crash it while they're at it.
The legal definition of piracy in regard to digital content isn't stealing. You cannot steal digital media as stealing by definition means the owner of the content is no longer able to sell it. If you steal an apple they can't sell it because you have it. Piracy of digital media is only copyright infringement, which is still illegal but regardless of how you feel about piracy it is fundamentally not theft.
Yep which IMO is ugly but I'd way prefer that over everyone using .h
There was actually a really interesting idea I heard to have no time zones. And I actually think it could be a good idea. It'll never happen because people would need to re-learn time but if it was always the same time everywhere it would make scheduling and business so much easier. No one would need to convert between different zones or be late because of an incorrect conversion. The downside is that times which are conventionally morning or evening etc, would no longer would be so people would have to get used to time just being a construct for scheduling and not a representation of the natural day/night cycle...but it actually doesn't sound like a half bad idea.
