I don't even know how to make strings in C, how the hell am I going to code on a quantum computer. Sigh.

Haha I didn't notice the reference, that's great!

Bit off topic but I love the NetBSD logo. It's very pleasing on the eye.

Are you sure they aren't being run through Rosetta? If I remember correctly, x86 apps run through a translation process on first launch which obviously takes time. An acceptable tr…

I was just thinking the other day that searching for TODO is probably a very good way to search a project for potential bugs or security issues. E.g; I see a bunch of todos in Fire…
