Russian are soldiers and the West are investors. (War investors in this case). From an investor standpoint a soldier is insane.

Why to call it a header? Could be just a source file. Including sources is uncommon, but why not? Solid "amalgamation" builds are a thing too.

Thanks, I've bookmarked an article recently that I thought was about that, but haven't read it yet. Your explanation lays a very good foundation to understand that technique.

Browsing is not search though. But I must say that modern browsing is not browsing either, it's search-centered. It would be great to be able to actually browse things like in a store or a library.

Yes, you're right.

Here is a use case. I have a function that takes variable parameters, so there is no formal type control: int Foo(int a, ...); But in fact the types are restricted depending on a call type, set by 'a'. So I could add a wr

I dabbled into literate programming and wrote C basically in reStructuredText. Used '#line' to specify the correct file name and line number in my reStructuredText sources. Worked as advertised, no complaints. In my case I had lon

All artificial things that we make are rough inside. Yet the living things are not, they are beautiful on every level. And above the mere survival needs we do have a yearn for the same quality in what we make.

I want to write general apps in C. Such as a raster image editor. I have some idea and C has exactly the right mix of simplicity and flexibility that I need. C is a constructor, and as a constructor it places few limits on what you can do.

16 bytes is a lot. 4 bytes are within reach, we can scan all of them quickly, but even 8 bytes are already too much. Kolmogorov said that computers do not help with naturally hard tasks; they raise a limit compared to what we can fo manuall

Couldn't it be merely a criminal claiming to be a political victim to avoid extradition? Never heard the name here at all, let alone in a political context. I myself know from close hearsay a fellow who happily traded grain until 2022

Namespaces give you human readable GUIDs as element names. This is important. I agree their implementation and integration is a bit inconvenient.

"Meaning" has a rather vague meaning, but behavior is exact. If I know the behavior, it becomes a tool I can employ. If I only know supposed behavior, I cannot really use that. E.g. why we have so much SEO slop and so little &quot

Semantic in machine processing is actually very simple: if a machine has an instruction to process an element and we know what it does, then the element is semantic. So, for example, <b> and <i> have perfect semantic, while <

Another thing I disagree with is the idea that JSON uses fewer characters. This is not true: JSON uses more characters. Example: <aaaa bbbb="bbbb" cccc="cccc"/> {"bbbb":"bbbb",&qu

I like XML and I use it for myself daily. E.g. all documentation is XML; it is just the perfect tool for the task. Most comments that denigrate XML are very superficial. But I disagree with this article too. My main point is that the very p

There is still a lot. E.g. that thing about sorting a pop-up is there since v4 at least and, of course, there were requests to improve this, but in v19 it is still the same. FileMaker was always mostly concerned about adding more features t

I would disagree. Software has certain constraints, or, for the search of a better concept, certain nature. E.g. I myself would say that one side of it is that you always have a very small tool that is supposed to operate on much larger dat

I was a FileMaker developer and I wouldn't say that. The way to develop on FileMaker is to be an expert of workarounds that would stun an outsider. It was a good data processing tool in earlier versions. I always liked its splash scree

There were many "escapes", some weren't so romantic. E.g. for some escapees the drive to what they viewed as freedom was so intense that they did not hesitate to kill someone, e.g. a stewardess on a hijacked plane. To see a b

No, only US-backed puppets that US uses against Russia. For example, Russia has very good relations with Belorussia where the government wasn't lured into this role and did not let US to overthrow it.

Starlink is primarily a military technology that is used both on a battlefield and to coordinate USA-backed "protests". Why, for instance, it just become free in Venezuela? Every country needs to be able to to defend itself from S

I disagree that OOP tries to be intuitive. I'd say the idea of object-oriented programming is to have better composability. Sure, there are other explanations, especially in textbooks. But the underlying problem OOP tries to solve is c

The meaning of "The Lord of the Rings" would be something like that: if you somehow got some dark skill (say, you're a good liar) then the only way to save you from becoming a slave of the Dark Lord is to get rid of that skil

NATO is invading. They just don't do it overtly. You don't think those Chechen "freedom fighters" were, like, independent? It was USA all along. It was not a mistake, some leftover from Cold War or something, some projec

Offensive aggression has certain leeway; it can be covert so that the aggressor can deny the very fact of aggression. West likes that position very much; it suits its lying nature. Defensive aggression has no such freedom: here the aggressi

There is a science fiction book "The inhabited island" ("Prisoners of power"?) by A. and B. Strugatsky. In one of episodes they try to describe the feeling of being in a very human-looking but also completely alien cultu

I think B. F. Skinner liked that sort of things. (In "Walden Two" he gives a rather detailed description of a contraption to conveniently carry around a glass full of a hot beverage without risk of spilling; I'm positive it w
