And the Unix filth did it. Without moving files to trash can. And there is no way to get anything back, because WORSE IS BETTER and the the shitty Unix unlinks everything even when filesystem has enough free space. Why? Why Unix cant die and be replaced with a good OS?

Null-terminated strings in C are the cause of the majority of buffer overflows and other bugs.
It's programmers who have no idea how to do basic arithmetic that's the real cause.

You shouldn't be programming if asking yourself "how long can this string be" is beyond your mental capability.

(A secondary effect of this is poor API documentation that isn't specific enough when it comes to lengths.)
