Earlier quoted context omitted.

The first one is based on a Bruce Lee quote :) > Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup; it becomes the cup. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. Now water can flow, or it can crash! Be water, my friend.

Sadly C and C++ have aliasing rules, so casting a pointer to another type is often UB instead of having the underlying memory take the form of the new type.

Hence it can flow, or it can crash!

Isn´t it a very obvious thing to get the idea that the information of this site should not be hidden inside an ancient three-column design that resembles the antique NukeCMS (PHP)? Why is the most important coder website build in a way that hides information so hard? What purpose do the left and right column with empty space serve? Once I used to install some user css to get 100% width for the content, but I got tire…

Are you talking about news.ycombinator.com ?

If you are, it's because this is not « the center of "modern development tools" ». It's a textboard and it serves that purpose well.

And this is completely off topic.

Translations for the few quotes that are in French: > Je mange donc je chie. — Don Ho "I eat therefore I shit." It's a pun on René Descartes' "Je pense donc je suis" (I think, therefore I am). > Mathématiquement, un cocu est un entier qui partage sa moitié avec un tiers. "Mathematically, a cuckold is a whole who shares his half with a third [party]." > Si un jour une chaise te dit que t'as un joli cul, tu xtrouveras…

"comme un imbécile, je marche" has the double meaning of "I walk" / "I fall for it". A possible translation would be "And I, like an imbecile, go along with it".

My favourite one so far: > No one ever makes a billion dollars. > You TAKE a billion dollars. Quite relevant to the vulture capitalists and their fans who frequent this site.

The easiest way to make a million dollars is to start with two.
