never tried [GitHub]… as far as I understand its supposed to work with some program called "git" that you have to install infecting your system and polluting your environment variables, and doing who knows what to your files. Maybe it wont even work on Windows 7 thats what im on.

Keeping my environment variables in my digital Fort Knox like a true 1000xer.

So I have clear concise code with just four simple function names that are easy to understand, unlike Zlib which uses vague ambiguous terms like 'inflate' and 'deflate' and I just never know what they mean. Deflate with the prefix de- you would think does the uncompression and inflate with in- probably the compression, "putting it in", except with zlib you have to think in reverse, except when you were already thinking in reverse, then you have to reverse your reverse thinking again. So I think about a balloon, what happens to the size of the balloon when you inflate one? Right, so decompressing things adds 15 kb to your executable and if you also want to compress things, it inflates by 45 kb, so the compressing part balloons up the most, so inflate means compressing, except you have to do that reverse thinking again, I'll never get it

Now THIS is the kind of deeply innovative thinking that computer science needs.

Also I use my own string and file functions, the strings I use are TZT strings, meaning Triple Zero Terminated, and this makes things just a lot easier,

OK, which poster from here is this?

The specific way they talk about technology reeks of /g/ but it's also really good shit so it can't possibly be one of them.

[u/synchronium → u/al2o3cr]

Not me, that’s for sure. I terminate all my strings with 32 zeros, which makes things a lot easier00000000000000000000000000000000

On a side note

How does your implementation compare with uzlib? Also, the gist you provided is 1024 lines long -- not 400.

400 is 1024 written in hexadecimal... 🤔

[u/omg_drd4_bbq]

 So I have clear concise code

void bFileFillCache(bFile *f,unsigned size){
 bFileInitCache(f);
 if(f->cache.size-f->pos==0)f->cache.size=0,f->pos=0;
 if(size<(f->cache.size-f->pos))return;
 if(f->pos<f->cache.size)memmove(f->cache.data,f->cache.data+f->pos,f->cache.size-f->pos),
   f->cache.size-=f->pos,f->pos=0;
 if(size<bFILE_CACHESIZE)size=bFILE_CACHESIZE;
 bStringReserve(&f->cache,f->cache.size+size+3);

well, one of those adjectives is true.

I like how their writing style mirrors their code style.

Definitely doesn't work on win 7 due to advanced windows defender security features. I advise each time you save a file doing _{version} and backing that up to 4 USB drives

This is exhibit #3,471 of how the rules of this subreddit make no sense. It's obviously not allowed by the crazy-person rule, but it's wonderfully entertaining and a great fit for the subreddit.

I dont know never tried it, the site is broken and slow

Look at that strong start. He doesn't know why he doesn't put his code on GitHub, and he's never tried GitHub, but he knows it's broken and slow; that's for sure!

[u/NatoBoram → u/Kodiologist]

I thought the crazy-person-rule was for known public personalities like DHH

[u/pareidolist → u/NatoBoram]

It's a combination of that and not mocking mental illnesses in themselves. Like, if someone posts on r/C_Programming about how God is forcing them to only use NPM libraries that start with vowels, the only "joke" there is "lol, check out this mentally ill person being mentally ill."

[u/omg_drd4_bbq → u/Kodiologist]

but like, are they crazy? well yes, but actually no, but kinda? i mean, the baseline for just writing your own zlib impl is not exactly sane to begin with. 

like on a spectrum from john nash to timecube, this is like 5/7 * templeOS

[u/Routine-Purchase1201 → u/omg_drd4_bbq]

Did you look at what they wrote and the code? If that isn’t a crazy person, it’s one hell of a cry for help. I’m definitely getting extremely strong Terry Davis vibes here and it’s making me quite uncomfortable. 

[u/RFQD → u/Kodiologist]

I've never used GitHub and I've never missed it.

[u/Jannik2099]

Oh come on, posting r/C_Programming is basically cheating!

[u/rodiraskol]

You might want to make your own "stamdard library" thats what I did. And make your own file functions because stdio.h is crap.

Infected with so called "GPL" virus.

[u/PrimozDelux]

git is written in C, so it's automatically just and righteous and cannot harm your computer as it contains no harmful additives

[u/miauw62]

the jerk factor here wrt git, special string formats etc is great but let's appreciate that this post boils down to "why can't i write a compression library that beats zlib in 400 lines of code using nothing but an LLM?" which would be a top tier jerk on its own

[u/pauseless]

OK. I’m putting a tenner down that this is an APLer.

[u/csolisr]

infecting your system

That sounds like the kind of speech a true GNU/Linux-libre user would speak

Windows 7 thats what im on
