Pointers are, at the same time, the best and most terrifying thing about C.

Here's my favorite measure of code quality:

Pretty modern meme, but still...

I wish I could get my students to be more proficient with the keyboard. I swear 75% of class time is spent with them using trackpads to move the cursor around, copy text, and paste it rather than just using good old arrow keys with shift, ^X, ^C, ^V.

Sorry for the slightly off topic post. Venting complete. Resume with your normal meme activity.

Since it's been a while, and I have been spending time playing with Arduino, I found these amusing. ?

Also, whenever you try and learn anything new... haha

You know, this one is actually very true. I get the sarcasm, that MCUs are often used by a programmer as an overkill in cases where you could just put a few resistors/transistors etc. But MCUs nowdays are pretty mach fast, cheap and approachable. And sometimes it as actually more clever to use MCU even for a basic task, because such implementation could be more understandable, more cutomizable and even more reliable.

Remember power button implementation in X16? MCU was chosen, because implementation with simple components was not reliable enougn.

And now same fate is hanging in a ballance for PS/2. X16 might end up with MCU controlling PS/2 interface.
