no, given `int arr[24];`, `&arr` is `int (*)[4]` (which you can't spell in C), they're the same address, but they aren't compatible pointers

 Sat May 01 11:09:45 +0000 2021

you have to enable -Wincompatible-pointer-types (in -Wall), but they do; must allow it by default, of course, since C barely has types, but you're unlikely to shoot yourself with it in new code

and, yeah, the address of an array is the address of its first member. must be

 Tue May 04 13:03:04 +0000 2021

oh wait no it's just VAT (well, matches 47.97*0.23$ to not be), but both the SMS and the page say it's import tax. quality

nah, yeah, definitely sending it back, the firmware's ancient

it does let me run Java applets! on my computer! and they're some fucked up JNLP thing which chainload another JAR, and neither of them work right, and the last stage just fails to connect, and that's the only way to do vConsole, which is all i wanted, and that's time well spent!

 Sat May 08 22:34:41 +0000 2021

also starting a vconsole and then it crashing steals the VGA framebuffer and doesn't give it back, so the VGA output is black, so that's great as well

still pissed that freebsd libc used to export execvpe, still has execvpe internally, but hid it after it "broke some ports" (presumably because they also defined it), and does NOT export it in any meaningful way anymore, so every single user still needs to carry it

 Sun May 16 00:04:31 +0000 2021

this'd be fine, except i just backported a fix from freebsd 13 that made it so it didn't pass random chunks of the stack as arguments in some cases into libzfs. very cool! wonder how many others took their execvpe from Some Old FreeBSD and never updated it :)

 Sun May 16 00:06:07 +0000 2021

maybe FreeBSD could promote someone to leftenant or seargeant major! that definitely would've prevented this and all the other blunders

I mean, that's a particularly fucked up example (and I need to patch the syntax definition for it to not explode on macro defs), but nowadays (usually, pre-mdoc pages are completely fucked, see (2)) it's something like (1) yeah

 Mon May 31 14:51:38 +0000 2021

it's a layouting language from the mid-sixties (for, indeed, literal /pages/ of a manual, or patents), it's absolutely fucked for an outsider, and took me literal months to go beyond "copy and tweak and hope it doesn't explode"
