April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberActually Ansi C or C89 was my most favored C style. You can do everything (wrong), but if you are willing, you could write really readable and typesafe code. In the end nobody forces you to wildy cast pointers accross different structs. (unless, there is a deadline)

Also, the Anarchist's Cookbook is more "don't do this or you'll wind up resting in pieces" than anything else.
I presume this book and the Necro-om-nom-nomicon are similar?

MemberSome even suspect that the Cookbook was made by CIA (or another ''alphabet'' agency) to troll anarchists and terrorists by making it as deadly as possible, if true this would be one of their better ideas...

MemberI'm really tempted to tag Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie as characters.

MemberYeah in fact a group of actual anarchists made their own version claiming the original wasn't possibly made by actual anarchists. It's called Recipes for Disaster

MemberThe billion dollar mistake.
