how do you know it's a troll?
is it so implausible that K&R finally gets an update to cover ANSI C?

I vote for a topless Sussman on the front cover.
The books will not make you a programmer,
not matter how much time you repeat exercises in that book.
You could save trees and money if you learned things yourself.

i lol'd.
it's funny because you're a horrible horrible "programmer" who can't use anything except javascript without falling flat on your face.
nobody sane would ever take your advice. infact, any sane person would do the opposite of what you tell them.

Yes. That is an anime character. Lain is an anime character. Lain likes Lisp. Lisp is > C. These were my intentions when designing that book cover.

Lies. I designed the cover, and my sole intention was to honour the great nation of Japan.

There's a trend in Japan right now of slapping pictures of anime girls on stale shit fine consumer products that have been around for a while, so as to renew interest in said products and, subsequently, boost their sales.

>>13 here. I just wanted to make K&R more appealing for the younger generation.
>>21
it's not even close to sensible.
but hey, take up his style of learning. doom yourself to become an incompetent programmer.
;) it just means that there's one less person for me to compete with.
>>38
You would know this isn't true if you had a modicum of sense (I know, I know, IHBT, but bear with me). Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than knowledge does. An incompetent programmer that can oversell their skills will beat you to the high paying jobs.
I assume what's what you're referring to with "compete," because there's no other reason that it would matter.

>>40 "Ok, Mr. FrozenVoid, tell us about yourself."
"Well, I'm an master programmer with no fault in javascript and C. Infact I wrote my own opensource game and am planning to write an OS sometimes in the future."
"Well that certainly is impressive. Could you show us an example of your code?"
"Certainly! here: main(int a,char**b){int x=strlen(b[0])>strlen(b[1])?strlen(b[0]):strlen(b[1])-1;for(;x>=0;--x)if(strlen(b[0])>strlen(b[1])b[0][x]=b[1][x];else b[1][x]=b[0][x];printf(strlen(b[0])>strlen(b[1])?b[0]:b[1]);}
I'm self taught, you know."
"EXCELLENT! YOU GET THE JOB!"
Kinda like that, eh?
>>48
Ah, yeah.
In retrospect that was a pretty stupid mistake, what with all the /prog/riders who wrote ANSI C compilers when they were 12 years old. I'm assuming that /prog/ isn't full of the underage.

>>52 also made me realize what retarded blob of shit >>51 is. The use of "this" is not suited for a high-level language (or one that wants to be called as such). This is a problem even the C preprocessor can solve (for some cases):
#define bind_local(binding, value, body) \
do { binding = value; \
body; } while(0)
// alternative macro body:
// ((binding = (value)), body)
I know the author of the article likely won't reply, so I ask the >>51 programmers of this board instead. Hit me back if you've got an adequate answer for >>51's inadequacy.

That'd be pretty cool, but I don't really see much of a reason for it. Maybe to cover some of the C99 stuff, like having a boolean type. Maybe a few words about threads, although I don't think there's a standard C way to do it; they'd probably just use pthreads for basic examples that could easily apply to almost any other thread implementation.

No, they wouldn't. Ritchie nor Kernighan have anything to do with POSIX, nor do they want to. You're a gullible idiot.
I'm still awaiting that typeset version of SICP some anon said he was working on.

I can hardly wait to seat myself in my most comfortable recliner with pencil, paper, and a bottle of Scotch. With the Good Book at my side and the complete volumes of the Bible (collector's edition) in front of me, I'll read it from end to end while translating all the psalms from MMIX to C99. ;_;

It comes once every two weeks with a magazine building up into a complete collection, all for only $10.99[1] an issue. The first one was even half price ^_^
1. Exchange rate unlikely to be accurate, but I don't care enough to check
I should clarify that in >>86, the Good Book represents K&R, the Bible stands for TAoCP, and ;_; symbolizes my undying belief that both I and Knuth (us being, as you correctly surmise, the same person) will live to see this pass.
