+<h1>The Solution of Foundationallib</h1>
+<h2>By G.C.</h2>
+# foundationallib
+<h2>Finally, a cross-platform, portable, well-designed, secure, robust, maximally-efficient C foundational library &mdash; Making Engineering And Computing Fast, Secure, Responsive And Easy.</h2>
+<br>
+<h2><i>Library Uses - What It Does, What It Is, And What It Is A Solution For</i></h2>
+<ul class="features-list">
+<li><strong>Enables better Engineering Solutions and Security broadly and foundationally where Software Creation or Development or Script Creation is concerned - whether this be on a local, business, governmental or international basis, and makes things easier - and Computing in General.</strong> Don't Reinvent the Wheel - Use Good Wheels - Be Safe And Secure.</li>
+<br>
+<li><strong>Enables a free-flowing dynamic computer usage that you need, deserve and should have, simply because you have a computer. With full speed and with robustness. You deserve to be able to use your computer wholly and fully, with proper and fast operations.</strong></li>
+<br><li><strong>Enables flexibility and power - makes C accessible to the masses (and faster and more secure) with easy usage and strives to bring people up, not degrade the character or actions of people.</strong> This is a fundamental and unequivocal philosophy difference between this library and many subsections of Software Engineering and the mainstream engineering establishment. For instance, in Python, you cannot read a file easily &ndash; you have to read it line-by-line or open a file, read the lines, then close it. With this library, you can efficiently read 10,000 files in one function call. This library gives power. Any common operation, there ought to be a powerful function for.<br><br>We should not bitch around with assembly when we don't want to; we should also have full speed. Some old "solutions" deliver neither, then culturally degrade programmers because their tools are bad - actually, it just degrades programmers, and gives them bad tools. COBOL is an example ...<br><br>Human technology is about empowerment &ndash; people must fight for it to be empowerment, we don't have time to have AI systems kill us because we want to have bad tools and be weak. We must fight.</li>
+</ul>
+<br>
+<ul>
+<h2><i>About Foundationallib</i></h2>
+<li>→<strong>Cross platform</strong> - works perfectly in embedded, server, desktop, and all platforms - tested for Windows and UNIX - 64-bit and 32-bit, includes a 3-aspect test suite, with more to come.</li>
+<li>→<strong>Bug free. Reliable. Dependable. Secure. Tested well.</strong></li>
+<li>→<strong>Zero Overhead</strong> - Only 1 byte due to the power of the error handling, can be configured will full power.</li>
+<li>→<strong>Static Inline Functions if you want them</strong> (optional) - Eliminating function call overhead to 0 if you wish, for improved performance.</li>
+<li>→<strong>Custom allocators</strong> - if you want it.</li>
+<li>→<strong>Custom error handling</strong> - if you want it.</li>
+<li>→<strong>Safe functions</strong> warn the programmer about NULL values and unused return values. Can be configured to not compile if not Secure. Optional null-check macros in every library function. Does not use any of <code>"gets", "fgets", "strcpy", "strcat", "sprintf", "vsprintf", "scanf", "fscanf", "system", "chown", "chmod", "chgrp", "alloca", "execl", "execle", "execlp", "execv", "execve", "execvp", "bcopy", "bzero"</code>. You can configure it to never use any unsafe functions.</li>
+<li>→<strong>Portable</strong> - works on all platforms, using platform specific features (using #ifdefs) to make functions better and faster. For example, from testing, on Linux it uses __builtin_memcpy, which can be 3.33 times faster than default memcpy().</li>
+<li>→<strong>Multithreading support</strong> (optional), with list_comprehension_multithreaded (accepts any number of threads, works in parallel using portable C11 threads)</li>
+<li>→<strong>Networking support</strong> (optional), using libcurl - making it extremely easy to download websites and arrays of websites - features other languages do not have.</li>
+<li>→Very good and thorough <strong>Error Handling</strong> and <strong>allocation overflow</strong> checking (good for <strong>Security and Robustness</strong>) in the functions.
+Allows the programmer to dynamically choose to catch all errors in the functions with a handler (default or custom), or to ignore them. No need to ALWAYS say "if (.....) if you don't want to. Can be changed at runtime.</li>
+<li>→<strong>Public Domain</strong> so you make the code how you want. (No need to "propitiate" to some "god" of some library).</li>
+<li>→<strong>Minimal abstractions or indirection of any kind or needless slow things that complicate things</strong> - macros, namespace collision, typedefs, structs, object-orientation messes, slow compilation times, bloat, etc., etc.</li>
+<li>→<strong>No namespace pollution</strong> - you can generate your <span style=font-style:normal;><b>own version</b></span> with any prefix you like!</li>
+<li>→<strong>Relies <span style=font-style:normal;>minimally</span> on C libraries - it can be fully decoupled from LIB C and can be statically linked.</strong></li>
+<li>→<span style=font-style:normal;><b>Very small</b></span> - 13K Lines of Code (including Doxygen comments and following of Best Practices)</li>
+<li>→<strong>No Linkage Issues or  dependency hell</strong></li>
+<li>→<strong>Thorough and clear documentation</strong>, with examples of usage.</li>
+<li>→<strong>No licensing restrictions whatsoever - use it for your engineering project, your startup, your Fortune 500 company, your personal project, your throw-away script, your government.</strong></li>
+<li>→<strong>Makes C like Python or Perl or Ruby in many ways - or more easy</strong></li>
+<li>→<strong>Easy Straightforward Transpilation Support</strong> - to make current code, much faster - all without any bloat (See transpile_slow_scripting_into_c.rb).
+<li><h4>In many cases, there is now a direct mapping of functions from other languages into optimized C.
+See the example script in this repository. This makes optimizing your Python / Perl / Ruby / PHP etc. script very easy, either manually or through the use of AI.</h4></li>

+<title>The Power of Non-Collaboration</title>
+</head>

+<link rel='stylesheet' href='css.css'>
+<h1>The Power of Non-Collaboration</h1>
+<h2>By G.C.</h2>
+<p>In this world, there is everything to be lost by collaborating
+and everything to be gained from fixating on [something which is
+particularly dear to you, an important problem or issue that you
+are cognizant of or that resonates with you].</p>
+<p>This “Fixation” is the first step towards resolving things. You
+know that most people do not do this, and there is no helping
+them.</p>
+<p>Now, I am in no way telling one WHAT to Fixate on, just there
+needs to be some Fixation first.</p>
+<p>And WHO is doing the fixation? How many agents are involved
+here? There is just one &ndash; YOU.</p>
+<p>YOU'RE in control.</p>
+<p>Step 2 is “Worsen social relations.”</p>
+<p><i>Worsen</i> social relations, you might say?</p>
+<p>Yes, I am serious.</p>
+<p>This is the sequence of true dynamism &ndash; of truly being able to
+resolve things.</p>
+<p>I hope the previous articles gave you a good amount of
+context.</p>
+<p><strong>Step 1 is <span class="goal">Fixate</span></strong>.</p>
+<p>This is defined as</p>
+<blockquote><i><br>
+<br></i>
+<p><i>"A knowing direction or redirection of attention on a given
+thing, in relative contrast to the other-determinations that might
+dissuade one from such, or from ones own determination to put ones
+attention on other things (like cats or bullshit that doesn't
+matter)."</i></p>
+</blockquote>
+<p>This is an extremely important step. In some ways it is the most
+important. It is the first &ndash; after all &ndash; and is the foundation for
+this.</p>
+<p>What could one Fixate on?</p>
+<p>Here are some examples:</p>
+<li style="padding:12px;">The mainstream engineering establishment</li>
+<li style="padding:12px;">Financial plights and ruins, e.g., for ones city</li>
+<li style="padding:12px;">AI risks</li>
+<li style="padding:12px;">Nuclear risks</li>
+<li style="padding:12px;">Safety</li>
+<p><strong>Now, Step 2 would be <span class="goal">"Worsen social
+relations".</span></strong></p>
+<p>This step is saying to unabashedly WORSEN social relations &ndash; to
+cut ties with those bonds and agreements into which one might have
+gotten sucked into 40 years ago &ndash; or 1 year ago.</p>
+<p>Might this harm one financially? Yes.</p>
+<p>Might this be dangerous? Yes.</p>
+<p>A bunch of bad could come from this, but this is the second
+step.</p>
+<p>And it is important, because social relations ruin ones
+reasoning ability &ndash; they harm ones ability to think.</p>
+<p>For example, the “mainstream engineering establishment” is
+FILLED with quote-unquote “social relations,” that of hate and
+degradation.</p>
+<p>In this step, one would, somewhat recklessly, cut ties with ones
+current social relations.</p>
+<p>It IS somewhat reckless, and, indeed, THEREIN lies it's power -
+it's power of both effectiveness of outcome, and it's power of
+personal liberation.</p>
+<p>Now, this is not cutting social relations to hide in the woods
+forever.</p>
+<p>The sequence we are talking about is pragmatic.</p>
+<p>Now that you are potent (1st point) and non-harassed (2nd
+point), there is the 3rd point</p>
+<p>This is <strong>3. Find and take environmental data, research
+could be done, no “moral” or “ethical” limitations.</strong></p>
+<p>This is about making a person both potent AND intelligent &ndash; they
+get knowledge, and from this point forward, and in so doing this,
+they get rid of moral and ethical limitations from their mind.</p>
+<p>All their life, they were told “NO” &ndash; you CAN'T solve this, you
+CAN'T solve that, etc.</p>
+<p>The mainstream engineering establishment degraded them into
+almost death.</p>
+<p>Think of the amount of people in poverty who DO die. They
+literally cause real death.</p>
+<p>In this step, one learns and researches, and becomes
+smarter.</p>
+<p>Now, there is step 4.</p>
+<br>
+<p><strong>4. Fix existential limitations problem for
+group.</strong></p>
+<br>
+<p>Definition:</p>
+<blockquote><i><strong>An “existential limitations problem” is a
+“problem” (or a so-called “problem”) that an individual would
+consider leading to a higher degree of “existential limitations” in
+their life or in life in general.</strong></i></blockquote>
+<br>
+<p><i>"One only lives once."</i></p>
+<p><i>"One doesn't have a full sense of their spiritual
+identity."</i></p>
+<p><i>"There are problems in the world."</i></p>
+<p><i>"Nuclear war reduces survival potential of mankind."</i></p>
+<p><i>"AI is risky, chaotic and dangerous."</i></p>
+<p><i>"Politicians never seem to listen ... man. What gives? What
+the hell is going on?"</i></p>
+<br>
+<p>These are some examples of "existential limitations
+problems".</p>
+<p>Now, even though one has WORSENED social relations, one still
+has social relations or conceptions of social relations &ndash; no one is
+ever truly alone. And as such, one thinks about things in GROUPS,
+and FOR groups.</p>
+<p>One would think of solving an existential limitations problem
+for a group.</p>
+<p>For mankind, for example. For ones city. For ones country &ndash; for
+America, for instance.</p>
+<p>Now, there is no talk about people solving the RIGHT problem,
+because people are MIRED</p>
+<p>in problems and people don't think that way.</p>
+<p>This sequence is a CYCLE.</p>
+<p>I came up with this first in 2018.</p>
+<p>This is called the “Cycle of Ethical Behavior”</p>
+<br>
+<p>Now, after one accomplishes fixing the existential limitations
+problem, one does this</p>
+<p><strong>Become somewhat “sane” again.</strong></p>
+<p>Solving this is ASSUMED to be somewhat exhausting or draining on
+the person. It's ASSUMED to lead to weird mental health
+circumstances or troubles &ndash; and indeed, perhaps for more than just
+oneself. This is okay. In this step, one figures out how to become
+“somewhat sane again,” and does this. This could be in different
+ways.</p>
+<br>
+<p>Now, step 6, the last step, is</p>
+<p><strong>Go to 1. Repeat literally ad infinitum.</strong></p>
+<br>
+<p>After this success, and with a mind that is somewhat okay again,
+one repeats this sequence, forever.</p>
+<p>This leads to the best results for all people.</p>
+<p>This is the “Cycle of Ethical Behavior”</p>
+<br>
+<ol class='goal'>
+<li style="padding:12px;">Fixate</li>
+<li style="padding:12px;">Worsen social relations</li>
+<li style="padding:12px;">Find and take environmental data, research could be done, no
+“moral” or “ethical” limitations.</li>
+<li style="padding:12px;">Fix existential limitations problem for group.</li>
+<li style="padding:12px;">Become somewhat “sane” again.</li>
+<li style="padding:12px;">Go to 1. Repeat literally ad infinitum.</li>
+</ol>
+<br>
+<p>Now, this is a modus operandi that all human beings and robots
+should follow.</p>
+<p>It is somewhat dangerous but it leads to actual results.</p>
+<p>Some existential limitations problems that I have overlooked
+since 2018 would be</p>
+<p><code>* The difficultly of creating code in a lonely and
+isolated situation in consideration of social circumstances and
+personal mental health circumstances.</code></p>
+<p><code>* The horribleness of the mainstream engineering
+establishment.</code></p>
+<p><code>I've had so many social losses &ndash; in terms of trying to
+reach people and communicate and make more friends &ndash; and so forth -
+since 2018. In the mind of the young, they are hopeful &ndash; that
+others act okay &ndash; at least I was like this.</code></p>
+<p><code>* And things move on and I got arrested and I got lied
+to.</code></p>
+<p><code>But probably that is for the better.</code></p>
+<p><code>* The “difficulty” of upholding ones values with the
+mainstream work establishment (and job market) &ndash; and being ones
+true self &ndash; this is very hard.</code></p>
+<p><code>I never succumbed to this like many people.</code></p>
+<p><code>* Thinking that many people were more candid and dynamic
+than they actually are &ndash; it's really hard to work a regular job and
+be sincere. There is stigma about poverty and job loss and such
+things &ndash; that should not be there. But these people are with the
+corrupt mainstream engineering establishment.</code></p>
+<p><code>Really, the solution is to muddy everything. Everything is
+backwards in general &ndash; not for myself but even more so for
+others.</code></p>
+<p><code>Instead of superficial bickering, people should just Stay
+Humble. &ndash; and not judge others too much, but FIGHT, FIGHT like mad
+in vocal and LOUD ways.</code></p>
+<p><code>Trolling might be okay &ndash; it was never my thing but it
+might be effective.</code></p>
+<p>There is a TREMENDOUS amount of potential with this method of
+operation.</p>
+<p>But it is important that it be understood. It could be applied
+in a top down fashion from above (the billionaires, etc.), but it
+would be ideal if the common people understood this too &ndash; and if
+this didn't have to be applied true pure Fascism &ndash; but rather
+agreement.</p>
+<p>From this &ndash; an Axiology can be found &ndash; a philosophy or study of
+Value &ndash; comprised of the two branches of the field of Axiology -
+Ethics and Aesthetics. I came up with this in 2018.</p>
+<p>In terms of Ethics, it works like this -</p>
+<p>To be a Good Being, one must be able to be considered to be in
+the cycle by other(s), by self, and agree with the Cycle of Ethical
+Behavior.</p>
+<p>There are 3 kinds of observers (people, human beings, “men,”
+etc.)</p>
+<p>1. A Good Observer; all others are 2 or 3</p>
+<p>2. A Tool Observer, acts as a tool for Good Observer(s) and
+follows normal mores and “agree”s to most things; all others are
+3</p>
+<p>3. An Abominable Observer; the “catch-all” for all other
+observers</p>
+<p>"Observer" here is a specific term from a book that I wrote in
+2018 about this stuff. It was only a draft.</p>
+<h1>It is very important &ndash; extremely important &ndash; that people
+evaluate ethics for themselves and others in this way.</h1>

+<h1>AI Is Good, And <span style="color:red;">Bad</span></h1>
+<h2>By G.C.</h2>
+<br>
+<p>Here's an example of how the current mainstream engineering
+establishment is so dangerous.</p>
+<br>
+<p>Can one “advocate for speed” and be tolerated in ones speech?
+What about to robots?</p>
+<br>
+<br>
+<p class="individual"><strong>User</strong></p>
+<p>Memmem is probably faster than strstr, right?</p>
+<p class="robot">ChatGPT</p>
+<p>In general, memmem is often more efficient than strstr for
+certain use cases because it is designed for searching arbitrary
+memory regions, whereas strstr is specifically tailored for
+null-terminated strings.</p>
+<p>memmem takes two memory regions and their lengths as parameters,
+allowing it to work with binary data or non-null-terminated
+strings. This flexibility makes it suitable for scenarios where you
+want to find occurrences of one block of memory within another.</p>
+<p>On the other hand, strstr assumes null-terminated strings, so it
+looks for the occurrence of a substring within another string until
+it encounters a null character. If you are working with
+null-terminated strings and want to find one string within another,
+strstr is appropriate.</p>
+<p>In summary, if you are dealing with binary data or
+non-null-terminated strings, memmem is likely to be more efficient.
+If you are working with null-terminated strings, strstr is the
+appropriate choice. Always consider the specific requirements and
+characteristics of your data when choosing between these
+functions.</p>
+<br>
+<p class="individual"><strong>User</strong></p>
+<p>strstr is not the appropriate choice if you already know
+sizes.</p>
+<p class="robot">ChatGPT</p>
+<p>You're correct, and I appreciate the clarification. If you
+already know the sizes of the memory regions you're working with,
+and you're dealing with non-null-terminated data or binary data,
+then memmem is indeed a more appropriate choice.</p>
+<p>memmem allows you to specify the lengths of the memory regions
+directly, making it more versatile for searching within arbitrary
+binary data, where null characters may not be meaningful. In such
+cases, memmem is likely to be more efficient and accurate compared
+to strstr, which assumes null-terminated strings.</p>
+<p>So, when dealing with known sizes and non-null-terminated data,
+memmem is a better fit for the task. Thank you for pointing that
+out.</p>
+<br>
+<p class="individual"><strong>User</strong></p>
+<p>I hate how programmers use slow functions all the time. Our
+modern world is so slow.</p>
+<p class="robot">ChatGPT</p>
+<p>The choice of functions in programming often involves trade-offs
+between various factors, such as ease of use, readability,
+maintainability, and performance. It's essential to strike a
+balance based on the specific requirements of the task at hand and
+the characteristics of the data being processed.</p>
+<p>Sometimes, programmers prioritize clarity and readability over
+raw performance, especially when the impact on overall system speed
+is negligible or when code maintainability is a higher concern. In
+other cases, performance-critical sections of code may be optimized
+for speed using more efficient algorithms or functions.</p>
+<p>It's important to note that what may seem “slow” in one context
+might be perfectly acceptable in another. In many applications, the
+perceived slowness of certain operations might not significantly
+impact the overall performance of the system, and the benefits of
+clear, maintainable code may outweigh the potential gains from
+micro-optimizations.</p>
+<p>If you find specific performance bottlenecks in your code, it's
+a good practice to profile and analyze the performance to identify
+the areas that truly need optimization. Optimizing prematurely
+without profiling can lead to complex and harder-to-maintain code,
+and the gains might not be as substantial as expected.</p>
+<p>Overall, programming is a balance of various considerations, and
+the choice of functions depends on the specific requirements of the
