PSA: There is a malware outbreak in the Minecraft modding community. Investigation is ongoing, but it appears some targeted malware has infected various modders, seeded by fake files uploaded to CurseForge and BukkitDev.

The full scope of this infection is hard to quantify. Advice and all detail we know so far is documented in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/fractureiser-investigation/fractureiser

Fully infected machines will spread the malware to all JAR files on the filesystem and attempt to steal Discord credentials, browser cookies, and more.

Stupid C tricks: Inheritance

"But MOS," you say, "C doesn't have inheritance!"

Actually, it does. Just not inheritance of interface -- it has inheritance of structure:

struct my_struct_a {
int a;
};

struct my_struct_b {
struct my_struct_a;
float b;
};

Note that the first member of my_struct_b has no name, only a type. Now, a pointer to my_struct_b can be freely cast to a pointer to my_struct_a, and it will work just fine, because my_struct_b includes all the member variables of my_struct_a in exactly the same position by exactly the same names.

You can combine this with an API that is based around opaque pointers, to produce a hierarchy of types which can be passed to functions which want the "super type". It's not object-orientation, but it is inheritance.

Spent some time sketching in the sun today 💕🌻☀️

I've been playing a lot of Hades again recently, so I figured I'd draw a Hades-esque portrait for my goblinsona :> why not?

Maybe a harvest godling of bountiful fruits? A spring/summer dweller?
