No, this is The Daily WTF. "Oh look, someone wrote some really stupid code!" Who cares? How does it enrich us to know that someone mis-implemented memset() in a bootloader that possibly never even calls it, or if it does, probably passes zero as the argument anyway? (Or is dead code because on any arch anyone uses, memset() is implemented in asm.)



It enriched me to learn what memset was. I love hacker news, but I wouldn't mind a few more posts that contain some code.
