This code reads characters from the input and stores them in an array (`inputChars`) -- the array is dynamically resized if more characters are needed. (We restraing from calling the array `inputChars` a string because we never terminate it with 0, we couldn't print it with standard functions like `puts`.) At the end the entered characters are printed backwards (to prove we really stored all of them), and we print out how many times we needed to resize the array.

At the end the entered characters are printed backwards (to prove we really stored all of them), and we print out how many times we needed to resize the array.
We define a constant (macro) `ALLOCATION_CHUNK` that says by how many characters we'll be resizing our character buffer. I.e. at the beginning we create a character buffer of size `ALLOCATION_CHUNK` and start reading input character into it. Once it fills up we resize the buffer by another `ALLOCATION_CHUNK` characters and so on. We could be resizing the buffer by single characters but that's usually inefficient (the function `malloc` may be quite complex and take some time to execute).

@ -18,4 +18,10 @@ The ergonomics and aesthetic design of GUIs has its own field and can't be cover
- Things must be intuitive, i.e. behave in a way that they normally do (e.g. main menu should be at the top of the window, not the bottom etc.).
- Just use your brain. If a button is important and often used, it should probably be bigger than a button that's used almost never, etc.
The million dollar question is: **which GUI framework to use?** Ideally none. GUI is just pixels, buttons are just rectangles; make your GUI simple enough so that you don't need any shitty abstraction such as widget hierarchies etc. If you absolutely need some framework, look for a suckless one; e.g. [nuklear](nuklear.md) is worth checking out. The suckless community sometimes uses pure [X11](x11.md), however that's not ideal, X11 itself is kind of bloated and it's also getting obsoleted by [Wayland](wayland.md). The ideal solution is to make your GUI **backend agnostic**, i.e. create your own very thin abstraction layer above the backend (e.g. X11) so that any other backend can be plugged in if needed just by rewriting a few simple functions of your abstraction layer (see how e.g. [Anarch](anarch.md) does rendering).

Pedophilia is a sexual orientation towards children. A pedophile is often called a *pedo* or *minor-attracted person* (map). Opposition of pedophilia is called **[pedophobia](pedophobia.md)** or [pedohysteria](pedohysteria.md).
Pedophilia (also paedophilia or paedosexuality) is a sexual orientation towards children. A pedophile is often called a *pedo* or *minor-attracted person* (map). Opposition of pedophilia is called **[pedophobia](pedophobia.md)** or [pedohysteria](pedohysteria.md) and is a form of age [discrimination](discrimination.md).
Unlike for example pure [homosexuality](gay.md), pedophilia is completely natural, normal and not any more harmful than any other orientation, however it is nowadays wrongfully, for political reasons, labelled a "disorder" (just as homosexuality used to be not a long time ago). It is the forbidden, tabooed, censored and bullied sexual orientation of the [21st century](21st_century.md), even though all healthy people are pedophiles -- just don't pretend you've never seen a [jailbait](jailbait.md) you found sexy, people start being sexually attractive exactly as soon as they become able to reproduce; furthermore when you've gone without sex long enough and get extremely horny, you get turned on by anything that literally has some kind of hole in it -- this is completely normal. Basically everyone has some kind of weird fetish he hides from the world, there are people who literally fuck cars in their exhausts, people who like to eat shit, dress in diapers and hang from ceiling by their nipples, people who have sexual relationships with virtual characters etc. -- this is all considered normal, but somehow once you get an erection seeing a hot 17 year old girl, you're a demon that needs to be locked up and cured, if not executed right away, just for a thought present in your mind.
Even though one cannot choose this orientation and even though pedophiles don't hurt anyone any more than for example gay people do, they are highly oppressed and tortured. Despite what the propaganda says, a **pedophile is not automatically a rapist** of children (a pedophile will probably choose to never actually even have sex with a child) any more than a gay man is automatically a rapist of people of the same sex, and watching [child porn](child_porn.md) won't make you want to rape children any more than watching gay porn will make you want to rape people of the same sex. Nevertheless the society, especially the fascists from the [LGBT](lgbt.md) movement who ought to know better than anyone else what it is like to be oppressed only because of private sexual desires, actively hunt pedophiles, [bully](cancel_culture.md) them and lynch them on the Internet and in the [real life](irl.md) -- this is done by both both civilians and the state (I shit you not, in [Murica](usa.md) there are whole police teams of pink haired lesbians who pretend to be little girls on the Internet and tease guys so that they can lock them up and get a medal for it). LGBT activists proclaim that a "child can't consent" but at the same time tell you that "a prepubescent child can make a decision about changing its sex" (yes, it's happening, even if parent's agreement is also needed, would parents also be able to allow a child to have sex if it wishes to?). There is a literal **witch hunt** going on against completely innocent people, just like in the middle ages. Innocent people are tortured, castrated, cancelled, rid of their careers, imprisoned, beaten, rid of their friends and families and pushed to suicide sometimes only for having certain files on their computers or saying something inappropriate online (not that any of the above is ever justified to do to anyone, even the worst criminal).
{ I've had people point out to me that pedophobia hurts not only adults but also the minors and children; they told me they had strong sexual desires before the age of 18 they couldn't satisfy because of the age discrimination: even on many social networks they are forced to lie about their age just to be able to join and socialize with others. I myself remember I had the desires LONG before reaching adulthood and would be very glad to satisfy them back then. Sure, abuse can happen, but that's the case for any interaction between children and adults and strong and weak in general -- should we just ban children play park because that's where many child abductions happen? ~drummyfish }
The fact that they made people believe it is a disorder if your penis can't magically telepathically check a chick's ID and may get erect if she's been born before a date legally established in political region the penis currently resides in shows that at this point an average citizen is more retarded than a braindead chimp.
[Child porn](child_porn.md) is hardocre censored on the mainstream Internet, it is forbidden to even posses for personal use (!!!) -- even if you don't pay for it, even if you don't show it to anyone, even if you're not redistributing it, even if you're not hurting anyone, even if you don't even watch it, you're a criminal just if a file of an underage PP resides on your harddrive. The anti-pedo craze has gotten so insanely and unbelievably bad that even cartoon pictures of naked children or photos of children in swimsuits (not even talking about non-sexual photos of naked children) are banned basically everywhere on the internet :D WTF. [LMAO](lmao.md) they even blur just faces of children on TV. Let's repeat that, **children faces are censored in today's society** xD The worst part is that most people comply with such censorship and even support it, it's unbelievable how fucked up the world is.

The pedophile witch hunt exists because it is a great political tool. It is an arbitrarily invented (well, maybe not invented but purposefully escalated) victimless crime. By the principles of [fear culture](fear_culture.md), it allows to push things such as hard surveillance and censorship, similarly to e.g. "war on terror". You're a government or a corporation and want to spy on people chatting? Just make a law requiring mandatory [spyware](spyware.md) in all chat and justify it by "pedophiles" (this is what [EU](eu.md) did). You're against the surveillance law? You must be a pedophile! The witch hunt also allows to immediately cancel anyone uncomfortable. There's a guy who the government doesn't like? Maybe a political competition. Simple, just plant some files on his computer, make up a little story and he's gone.

Shortly after the project started in 2001, Wikipedia used to be a great project -- it was very similar to how [LRS wiki](lrs_wiki.md) looks right now; it was relatively unbiased, objective, well readable and used plain [HTML](html.md) and [ASCII art](ascii_art.md) (see it as https://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePage), however over the years it got corrupt and by 2020s it has become a political battleground and kind of a [politically correct](political_correctness.md) [joke](jokes.md). A tragic and dangerous joke at that. It's still useful in many ways but it just hardcore censors facts and even edits direct quotes to push a [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) propaganda. **Do not trust Wikipedia, especially on anything even remotely touching politics**, always check facts elsewhere, e.g. in old paper books, on Metapedia, Infogalactic etc. As old Wikipedia is still accessible, you may also browse the older, less censored version, to see how it deranged from a project seeking truth to one abusing its popularity for propaganda.
Wikipedia exists in many (more than 200) versions differing mostly by the [language](language.md) used but also in other aspects; this includes e.g. Simple English Wikipedia or Wikipedia in [Esperanto](esperanto.md). In all versions combined there are over 50 million articles and over 100 million users. English Wikipedia is the largest with over 6 million articles.
