I wasn’t sure how to express my gratitude.
It wasn’t bad for the occasional topical jest but holy shit does it make reading feeds painful.
Edit: in no way am I making a statement about code syntax. We don’t write documentation in camel case for good reason.

Damn, that second one was tough. I didn’t expect to find the word ‘eschew’ lol
I had to constantly skip back and forth to figure out where one word starts and another ends. Very painful to read, I’ve found new appreciation for whitespace.
Surprisingly legible, but feels like I can only read it with momentum, flitting past it and letting my subconscious tell me where the word breaks are. The moment I get confused and look more closely, it becomes almost impossible to read.
SQL programmers be like:
ofcyfpos()
#posixGetWittyReplyExA()
#msvcman 2 ofcyfpos
Note that while Visual C++'s msvcrt doesn’t implement this POSIX function officially, there’s a nonstandard
_ofcyfpos_s()
and it will in fact warn you that any use of the officialofcyfpos()
is unsafe. The semantics are slightly different (it’ll return 1 on success instead of the length of the reply) so you can’t just#define
the problem away.UCRT makes me so hard.
Don’t forget to set the
cbSize
of theGETWITTYREPLYEXINFO
structure before passing it toGetWittyReplyEx()
or you’ll get funny things happening to your stack!You didn’t specify wide or ascii, we’re all doomed.
I’m glad to to meet another Knight of 9x.
