be careful, recursion can cause stack overflows.
better to run function pointers from a loop. That way you can operate as long
as necessary. Just make sure you don't get in an infinite loop...

Hi, I'm learning about semaphores right now and trying to explain them to a
friend. But I only sorta understand how they work - can anyone look at this
pseudocode and tell me if I'm on the right track?
![Some C pseudocode working through the semaphore design pattern. Here's the text of the pseudocode: /* no lock example */ void start_thread(int* x) { *x += 1; } int main() { int x = 0; for (1000 times){ start_thread(&x); } print(x); } /* in this case you have no idea what will print because thread A will take x and be like "ah yes it's 423" and then in the next instruction it'll be like "I'll increment this to be 424" and in the next one it'll say "okay now it's time to store 424 in the variable X" but like... there's a thousand threads all doing that at the same time, so odds are you'll have 5 that are like "ah yes this is 423 I'll set it to 424" */ /* not a good plan.

functions should be forced to describe the context of why they were being
called. I think it would help debug a lot if we supplied a reasoning for each
and every request [function call] that we made. We might even be able to parse
them into semantic pyramids which we could sorta use to estimate [tree-like
scanning] how and why the program did do wrong.

if you'd like I can give you a lua script which will take your fediverse
archive and turn it into a pdf which you can edit or print or whatever. Might
be a fun diversion from posting. You can reply to yourself, add
clarifications, change some things, put things in a new light, add context,
etc... before you know it you'll have something printable. Could even pull out
your best stuff and make zines.
should require just a little configuration to suit your setup. That's part of
how I stay "productive" without posting all the time.

I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
have any bugs in this day and age.
For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

why not make a unified fediverse identity that can post on whatever instance

... hmmm could be accomplished with a layer of abstraction. You could use a
"fediverse client" software to enter text into an HTML page which would have
it's own UI and stuff and would organize your accounts and instances such that
you could mark like, 3-7 as places you'd like to put a particular message.
Then it would just... do it
l m a o spam is gonna get sooooo much worse before it gets better
but trust me, we'll figure it out. And it won't be long, either. It's a
solvable problem, we just haven't built anything to handle it yet.

internet. To set up an SSH server. To install Linux. To program in C. To do
something else that I'm not prepared for... If StackOverflow didn't exist

it's a good idea to set up a local LLM that can answer basic questions about
