If it involves pointers, not unlikely.

Easy: murder everyone. Which will probably be the course of action this Skynet will take.
I think the Butlerian Jihad can’t do shit against Judgment Day.
That is an abomination. I will probably use it in a not-so-distant future.
If we’re talking about the same guy, he had to manage the economy of a country that has been constantly been fucked up by it’s government. That probably also contributed to his fascist ideas.
Honestly, given the context of a browser, Javascript’s “Everything is better than crashing” philosophy does not seem too out-of-place. Yes, the website might break, but at least it would be theoretically usable still.
Yes, a statically typed language would help, but I’d rather not have one that is “these two types are slightly different, fuck you, have a segfault”, but rather one that is slightly more flexible.
With C, you need to carefully craft your own gun with just iron ingots and a hammer. You will shoot yourself in the foot, but at least you’ll have the knowledge that it was your craftsmanship that led to it.
With C++, there are already prebuilt guns and tons of modifications that you can combine at will. If you shove it in the right way, you can make a flintlock shoot a 50 cal, but don’t complain when your whole leg gets obliterated.
And yet somehow it evolved to become something that will last to the heat death of the universe.
I’ve grown used to it with time, though. Once you know it’s “quirks”, it’s not so bad.
In realistic terms, I don’t think the Butlerian Jihad would have that much of a chance. I’d bet on Skynet and it’s Judgment Day happening first.
That is, when AI truly exists. Right now, we have essentially gargantuan amounts of glorified if-else spaghetti.
Windows startup repair did unbrick my system a couple of times, and the network troubleshooter fixes the issues most of the time, so yes they have.
If I could choose any way to be executed, it would be to be at the epicenter of a nuclear bomb with enough force to instantly obliterate me. In a moment I exist, and in the other I don’t.
Else, nitrogen is painless and effective.
I figured.
Arch is great for people with a very extensive knowledge about the entire system, or for masochists. One wrong command and the whole thing catches on fire.
Respect for those who know how to use it and are not assholes about it, though.
Or the option that happens in practice: You are just forgotten and people stop contacting you.
People don’t like change, and will resist it. How much depends on the person.
I personally know a handful of people that also don’t know how the fuck Arch works but still use it.
This man could look straight in the eyes of the devil and the devil would run away.
It’s almost like every OS will have issues if you start fucking up core parts of it, who would have guessed?
What in the name of fuck?
I am not even American, but I do know that the US Army budget makes the NASA budget look like pocket change.
I’d say you’re focusing on the wrong sector…
Backwards compatibility does have it’s merit. Windows at least tries to make shit from the XP era work all the way up to 11. I’ve had some big headaches because some system decided to throw backwards compatibility out the fucking windows and break tons of scripts I had.
So, straight out of 1984?
