And architectures. Probably a bunch of build servers or a swarm of docker, qemu, and VMs, with a good test coverage to detect behaviour differences. In practice, the compiler is an often an omitted dependency of any c code.

Patents is not the issue here. Not even close. The up-front investment of a memory fab is measured in billions, and takes years to construct and get running. The margin on the chips themselves is terrible, so without scale its not worth eve

Not using JavaScript would also make the crawler fail on squarespace and wix website builders. The age where the web was usable at all without JavaScript is long gone. No scraper would get much scraping done without JavaScript these days.

I had the opposite issue. Writing was agony and every section would be written, reviewed and rewritten to get my point across; only to be tortured by a miminum word count that was 20% away after saying all i cound think of saying. I've

In a very simplified view; Those "tolkens" humans "count" are translated to a ~2048 (depends on model) floating point vector. bird => {mamal, english, noun, Vertebrate, aviant} has one r but what if you make it 20% mo

It's either neutral useless information, or a sign of low quality. It's never positive. Its a sign that the developer didn't pay attention to what they committed. Like a spelling error, or forgetting to run the linter. If the

I really wish i could at the very least force them to use a modern GCC fork. Please no more c99!

These kind of effort have potential in my eyes. I've seen some others, and been tempted to write some tools of my own of this type. I personally struggle with often being stuck on c99, not even c11.

I'd rather my employers just does the classic of shredding random 80% and looking at the remainder properly.

It further makes expecting or spending the effort hand writing a proper introduction useless. Which then undermine the entire purpose of it.

At the very least, It's a treasure trove of more advanced c design patterns that are worth knowing. As the readme describes it as basically established industry patterns passed down through word of mouth. I find It's difficult to

The Elf interface is a standardised packaging system. I do NOT want a package manager in my c code. I'm perfectly content with cloning a git repo from my cmake script. And there is plenty to choose from if you don't like one or an

You're right. We should just run everything in java-script because that's what LLMs are good at right?

Interesting to see a deepdive about string formats. I hadn't thought very deeply about it before. I do agree with the string imutable argument. Mutable and imutable strings have different usecases and design tradeoffs. They perhaps sho
