But why?

  • We do that. But at some point, it has to stop. We can't just say "one last client" when new ones come in right after the previous leaves, and you don't want to be unfair. And cleaning takes HOURS. Even in a small fast food restaurant. You need to strategically close things down, preferably things we're out of anyway.

  • Well, why what? Why do I have to install it? Because there are A LOT of old people in my village, who only ever used windows, and when I repair their stuff or get them new stuff I often have to (re)install windows. And windows is the virus I'm talking about, because IMHO, it literally IS Spyware, Adware and a Trojan. Literally every criteria is met for those kinds of viruses. MacOS is just a lighter Spyware and potentially a Trojan, but can be expanded to be all three (especially a RAT Trojan) very easily. Linux, on the other hand, has only very few, single instances of separate Distros having ads (Canonical/Ubuntu) or Spyware via Telemetry (Also Ubuntu), but not only can Telemetry be disabled, one could also use another distro. Like Arch btw.

  • I regularly infect other peoples Laptops, and my own VMs as well, with a very common Spyware/Adware/Trojan. It comes in two different versions, the newer one being much more aggressive than the older one. It's a 'premium' product costing up to $250 officially. The only way to really get rid of it is a full disk clean, otherwise it hides itself into separate, hidden partitions. It IS very annoying to install, considering it's very slow, buggy and needs a terminal to circumvent the online account (even more tracking, technically, but I don't want to create an account myself). And it even crashes all the time, takes ages to update and is a magnet for other viruses. I myself of course don't have it, i use Linux after all. But most people seem to like Windows, for some reason, so I have to install it for them.

  • Yes, but

    1. it's unsafe, therefore not really Rust I'd argue
    2. it doesn't look as good
     
         
    float Q_rsqrt(float number) {
        long i;
        float x2, y;
        const float threehalfs = 1.5F;
    
        x2 = number * 0.5F;
        y = number;
    
        i = * ( long * ) &y;
        i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );
        y = * ( float * ) &i;
    
        y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );
        return y;
    } 
    
    
      
    • The C compiler, when I parse a &(float) as (long) (it's actually an evil floating point hack to run Quake III on an X86_64 CPU emulated in Scratch running on Spotifys Car Thing) (This would never be possible in Rust)
