@citizen428 *points and snaps* Nord Theme.
@prlg Always Nord theme, on everything. I even made one for the OCaml's utop so it looks less out of place in my terminal:

@nabijaczleweli You glorious madman, have a follow

@citizen428 for GCC, add #define true 1
@RueNahcMohr Works fine as-is. The Makefile targets `-std=c23` where `true` is an actual keyword. Unless I misunderstood your intention here.

@aartaka Love the cursors, instant follow. Keep the web weird!
@citizen428 yay, I didn’t make these in vain 🤩

@luc0x61 Really? A cartoon calling it an "extremely bad idea" and an implementation covering a handful of tags wasn't enough of an indication that this was not a serious post?
@citizen428 I've seen enough to witness that some humorous exits have been chosen as real solutions
Would you believe that I've seen someone printing a variable as binary text to further process it with binary logic on single ASCII digits, instead of using the logical operators native of any CPU? -
A tale in 3 pictures. In which our hero wonders if he can and doesn't stop to ask if he should.
@citizen428 Several years ago I had the idea of doing the same in Lua (though not a preprocessor, of course)

And yes, I'll believe almost everything at this point, though your example is definitely one of the more bizarre ones.
I once had to work with an API we paid good money for, which essentially was configurable through bit flags via `?options=<32-digit or so binary string>`. And to generate that option string they gave you an Excel sheet.

@citizen428 Binary data is extremely dangerous

I still prefer Perl for some specific things where Python (or Groovy) would be more of a hassle.

@citizen428 Marvel at this curse:
With "C" code like this:
`#include"a.h" `
`A1(rs0,rsz(0,x)) ZN A flt(A x,A y,B b/*01b*/)_(P(xK-1,er(y))Ym(K("{(!y)[i]!(.y)i:&z~/:x@.y}",xR,y,ai(b)))Yt(flt(x,enl(y),b))` -

@citizen428 Amazon's early implementation used the C preprocessor as an HTML templating system. The preprocessor is super fast and stable, that's what made this a terrific idea.
I have dark, poorly-repressed memories of perl/mason being an improvement, for which we were expected to be grateful.

@malwareminigun Does the first image not make it clear that this is not a serious post?
@citizen428 no. I see people say “I’m doing this bad idea hold my beer” and abusing cpp all the time
