Now That's What I Call an Overlapped

// https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/minwinbase/ns-minwinbase-overlapped // See Microsoft? It's not THAT hard to define an OVERLAPPED struct in a manner that // doesn't qualify as an example of "Crimes against humanity" in the Geneva convention. typedef struct { ULONG_PTR Internal[2]; ULONG64 Offset; HANDLE hEvent; BOOL bOffsetUpdated; } NOW_THATS_WHAT_I_CALL_AN_OVERLAPPED;

A screenshot of C code defining the Windows OVERLAPPED structure, with a sarcastic comment claiming that Microsoft’s design is so confusing it qualifies as “Crimes against humanity” under the Geneva Convention. The punchline is the dramatic overreaction to an awkwardly designed programming interface, ending with the structure name “NOW_THATS_WHAT_I_CALL_AN_OVERLAPPED.”
