char buf[LINE_MAX]

Why do programmers still code in arbitrary limits like these?

It breaks when you do
#define LINE_MAX UINT_MAX

Why not redesign so that you use an O(1) space algorithm, or if it can't be avoided, dynamically allocate as much as needed?

This is because some programmers aren't bright enough to pick a language that includes real string support, so rather than do all the work required to be safe, they implement lazy hacks. And then the Inter was a Bot.
