# Antivirus Paradox
{ I think this paradox must have had another established name even before antiviruses, but I wasn't able to find anything. If you know it, let me know. ~drummyfish }
Antivirus paradox is the paradox of someone who's job it is to eliminate certain undesirable phenomenon actually having an interest in keeping this phenomenon existing so as to keep his job. A typical example is an [antivirus](antivirus.md) company having an interest in the existence of dangerous [viruses](virus.md) and malware so as to keep their business running; in fact antivirus companies themselves secretly create and release viruses and malware.
In [capitalism](capitalism.md) and other systems requiring people to have jobs this paradox prevents progress, i.e. actual elimination of undesirable phenomena, hence capitalism and similar systems are anti-progress. And not only that, the system pressures people to artificially creating new undesirable phenomena (e.g. lack of [women](woman.md) in tech and similar [bullshit](bs.md)) just to create new jobs that "fight" this phenomena. In a truly good society where people are not required to have jobs and in which people aim to eliminate [work](work.md) this paradox disappears.

# Bloat
Bloat is a very wide term that in the context of software and technology means extreme growth in terms of source code size, complexity, number of [dependencies](dependency.md), useless features and resource usage, all of which lead to inefficient, badly designed technology with bugs and [security](security.md) vulnerabilities, as well as **loss of [freedom](free_software.md)**, waste of human effort and great obscurity and ugliness. Bloat is extremely bad and one of the greatest technological issues of today. Creating bloat is bad engineering at it worst and unfortunately it is what's absolutely taking over all technology nowadays, mostly due to [capitalism](capitalism.md), commercialization, consumerism and incompetent people trying to take on jobs they are in no way qualification to do.

Besides being extra careful about writing memory safe code, one needs to also know that **some functions of the standard library are memory unsafe**. This is regarding mainly string functions such as `strcpy` or `strlen` which do not check the string boundaries (i.e. they rely on not being passed a string that's not zero terminated and so can potentially touch memory anywhere beyond); safer alternatives are available, they have an `n` added in the name (`strncpy`, `strnlen`, ...) and allow specifying a length limit.
## Different Behavior between C and C++
## Different Behavior Between C And C++
C is **not** a subset of C++, i.e. not every C program is a C++ program (for simple example imagine a C program in which we use the word `class` as an identifier). Furthermore a C program that is at the same time also a C++ program may behave differently when compiled as C vs C++. Of course, all of this may also apply between different standards of C, not just between C and C++.

@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ Programming in C works like this:
2. You compile the file with a C [compiler](compiler.md) such as [gcc](gcc.md) (which is just a program that turns source code into a runnable program). This gives you the executable program.
3. You run the program, test it, see how it works and potentially get back to modifying the source code (step 1).
So, for writing the source code you'll need a [text editor](text_editor.md); any [plain text](plain_text.md) editor will do but you should use some that can highlight C [syntax](syntax.md) -- this helps very much when programming and is practically a necessity. Ideal editor is [vim](vim.md) but it's a bit difficult to learn so you can use something as simple as [Gedit](gedit.md) or [Geany](geany.md). We do NOT recommend using huge programming [IDEs](ide.md) such as "VS Code" and whatnot. You definitely can NOT use an advanced document editor that can format text such as [LibreOffice](libreoffice.md) or that [shit](shit.md) from Micro$oft, this won't work because it's not plain text.

It also inevitably leads to societal [collapse](collapse.md); in capitalism people own nothing and become wholly dependent on corporations which exploit this fact to abuse them. This is achieved by [slowly boiling the frogs](slowly_boiling_the_frog.md). No one owns anything, products become services (your car won't drive without Internet connection and permission from its manufacturer), all independency and decentralization is lost in favor of a highly fragile and interdependent economy and infrastructure of services. Then only a slight break in the chain is enough to bring the whole civilization down.

Except it didn't work because other people made other operating systems with different syscalls. So to try to make it portable again they created a high-level language [compiler](compiler.md) on top of it. To make it yet more comfortable they created yet a higher level language and made a [transpiler](transpiler.md) to the lower level language. To make building more platform independent and comfortable they created [makefiles](makefile.md) on top of it. However, more jobs were needed so they created [CMake](cmake.md) on top of makefiles, just in case. It seems like CMake nowadays seems too low level so a new layer will be needed above all the meta-meta-meta build systems. I wonder how high of a tower we can make, maybe they're just trying to get a Guinness world for the greatest bullshit sandwich in history.

# USA
United States of America (USA, US or just "murika") is a [dystopian](dystopia.md) country of fat, stupid fascist people enslaved by [capitalism](capitalism.md), people endlessly obsessed with money and wars. USA consists of 50 states located in North America, a continent that ancestors of Americans invaded and have stolen from Indians, the natives whom Americans murdered.
USA is very similar to [North Korea](north_korea.md): in both countries the people are successfully led to believe their country is the best. North Korea is ruled by a single political party, US is ruled by two practically same militant capitalist parties (democrats and republicans), i.e. de-facto one party as well.

Both countries are full of extreme [propaganda](propaganda.md), [censorship](censorship.md) and greatly support cult of personality, people worship dictators such as Kim Jong-un or [Steve Jobs](steve_jobs.md). US is even worse than North Korea because it exports its toxic culture over the whole world, it is destroying all other cultures and leads the whole world to doom and destruction of all life.

Material under fair use is still proprietary and can put remixers to legal trouble (e.g. if they put material from Wikipedia to a commercial context), even if the use on Wikipedia itself is legal (remember, proprietary software is legal too).
- Wikipedia often suffers from writing inconsistency, bad structure of text and **poor writing** in general. In a long article you sometimes find repeating paragraphs, sometimes a lot of stress is put on one thing while mentioning more important things only briefly, the level of explanation expertness fluctuates etc. This is because in many articles most people make small contributions without reading the whole article and without having any visions of the whole. And of course there are many contributors without any writing skills.
- Wikipedia is **too popular** which has the negative side effect of becoming a political battlefield. This is one of the reasons why there has to be a lot of **bureaucracy**, including things such as **locking of articles** and the inability to edit everything. Even if an article can technically be edited by anyone, there are many times people watching and reverting changes on specific articles. So Wikipedia can't fully proclaim it can be "edited by anyone".

A woman (also femoid or succubus) is one of two genders of humans, the other one being [man](man.md). Women are notoriously bad at [programming](programming.mg), [math](math.md) and [technology](technology.md): in the field they usually "work" on [bullshit](bullshit.md) (and harmful) positions such as some "diversity department", [marketing](marketing.md), "HR" or [UI](ui.md)/[user experience](ux.md). If they get close to actual technology, their highest "skills" are mostly limited to casual "[coding](coding.md)" (which itself is a below-average form of [programming](programming.md)) in a baby language such as [Python](python.md) or [Javascript](javascript.md). Mostly they are just hired for quotas and make coffee for men who do the real work.
Women also can't drive, operate machines, they can't compare even to the worst men in sports, both physical and mental such as [chess](chess.md). Women have to have separate leagues and more relaxed rules, e.g. the title Woman Grand Master (WGM) in chess has far lower requirements to obtain than regular Grand Master (GM). (Just as of this moment in the FIDE database there are 19 living male players rated better than the best woman ever was; also none of them is [black](nigger.md), only one is Indian). Of course one might argue that worse performance of women in chess is caused culturally; women aren't led so much to playing chess, therefore there is fewer women in chess and so the probability of a good woman player appearing is lower. This may be partially true even though genetic factors seem at least equally important and it may equally be true that not so many women play chess simply because they're not naturally good at it; nevertheless the fact that women are generally worse at chess than men stands, regardless of its cause.
But of course there exist exceptions, even though rare. The issue is women are very often involved with a cult such as the feminists who waste their effort on fighting men instead of focusing on study and creation of real technology, and on actually loving it. They don't see technology as a beautiful field of art and science, they see it as a battlefield, a political tool to be weaponized to achieve social status, revenge on society etc. They can't understand the pure joy of [programming](programming.md), the love of creation for its own sake, they think more in terms of "learning to code will get me new followers on social networks" etc. You will never find a basement dweller programmer of female gender, a hacker who is happy existing in a world of his own programs without the need for approval or external reward, a woman will never be able to understand this.

[Ada Lovelace](ada_lovelace.md) cited by the feminist propaganda as "the first programmer" also didn't actually do anything besides scribbling a note about a computer completely designed by a man. Then there are also some individuals who just contributed to the downfall of the technology who are, in terms of gender, probably more on the woman side, but their actual classification is actually pretty debatable -- these people are not even worth mentioning.
