I agree with you. Maybe the better question is why does anyone think it shouldn't compile? And then we can ask how much programming history they know. I think it's useful to know how C compilers, the C specification and C coding styles ha

That's my main problem with OpenSSL: it tries to be so much more than SSL (despite it's name), and with all that extra functionality comes more responsibility, e.g. a much higher auditing burden. OpenSSL is an impressive amount of work that

What is the computer? The cell? Python code is not DNA. Even to say binary is DNA seems a stretch, and of course it's quaternary. With cells, there is no single "front-side bus". There is Brownian motion, geometry (e.g. at the level of DN

I still love the VAX. Even after all these years it still seems like a robust computer, much for the reason bdfh42 cited: it's built to last. Alas, how many computers are built with that intention today? I don't use Windows anymore, but
