…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
I decided to throw my PC in the composter and become a gardener
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 quotesThat 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
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.
Always follow best practices, make sure you cleanup by deleting the hello world bash file!
My coworkers could learn a thing or two from this. For one, it actually works.
Sure.
Okay but 🍒 shouldn’t output 🍉. This is inconsistent and confusing. We have standards.
Picking emojis that make sense actually made it easy to read.
Violates CERT C ENV33-C.
It violates oh so much including that.
why would you hurt me like this
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.

It’s… Beautiful.
Fucking brilliant
Thanks, I hate it.
Who says C isnt mem safe?
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
Apologies for being off-topic, but the domain name, “swg-empire.de”, does the ‘swg’ part ‘Star Wars Galaxies’ by chance?
No. It was for a Star Wars roleplay but not a video game. It started life in the newsgroup de.rec.sf.starwars and I played the role of Emperor.

Ah, ok, nice! Was that the old D6 version, or the newer D20 one?
and I played the role of Emperor.
You dark person you! 😜
No set rules, just goofing around. When we got too annoying for the rest of the newsgroup we moved to a mailing list and met up in real life a bunch of times.
First time my father flew me there in a small sports plane. They had gotten the permission to greet me on the air field with a limousine blasting the Force Commander remix of the Imperial March and a black carpet. All the Jedi, Sith and in-betweens were waving Emperor-flags and greeted me as was befitting a man of my status.
Did I mention that I was 14 at the time and everyone else about 30?
Good times.
Sounds like good times, indeed.
