I will be referring to it as “printf anti-pattern”.

m1el: “You cannot abstract security”

m1el: “Security is not an interface”

aitderceto: “Security cannot be instantiated”

aitderceto: I’d like one security, please

m1el: OOP is not a good tool to describe security

Usually, I don’t react strongly to articles that contain bullshit. But when I stumbled on an article that contained three false statements in the very first sentence, I simply could not leave it be.

My post touches a lot of topics, and I’m not an expert in any of those.

Strong opinion inside.

One day, I’ve stumbled upon Kare Kano anime, but after searching for rips for a while, I did not find a single DVDRip I would consider acceptable.

So I thought: heeey, maybe I should rip the DVD myself?

God, how wrong I was.

In this post I’m going to write about the shit I found while working with Kare Kano DVDs.

I’m writing this post not to be informative, but for myself to be done with this DVD. Forever.

In this part, we’re going to parse unpacked .art data.
