BAH! 4. The "intrusive" containers, but of course. The one true way to do it in C. For one, you can keep items in multiple containers, all being on equal footing. None of that typical C++ mess, when this list is a primary storag

Damn, I think you are right. Just checked on W7 and it must've been telnet and/or tftp that I was thinking about. ftp does seem to come standard.

1. Not using container_of/struct_of, but rather peppering code with "(void* )l-sizeof(size_t)" 2. my_list_type.my_array is not properly aligned 3. list_append() doesn't handle realloc() failures 4. Doesn't properly

Bold claims require proper sourcing. Otherwise it's perilously close to trolling. Perhaps start by explaining why that complex had to pretend "it wasn't only that"?

Firefox is not from Google. This is its biggest upside and I suspect that I'm not the only one who sticks to FF pretty much exclusively because of it. I am even willing to look past their shenanigans with Pocket, EME, Loop, featured ti

If I understand correctly, this is a framework for non-preemptive cooperative multitasking whereby provided API functions serve as yield points. Pretty much what Windows API was before NT/2000. Not exactly a co-routine library, at leas

Yale-Loehr must be so proud. Deferring to the torture risk in Belarus is such as an obvious bullshit. The only way they can torture there is by forcing you to eat their organic condensed sweetened milk.

That's just trusted timestamping, which is a far more generic (and therefore useful) matter than what these guys are trying to do.

I understand what this does (basically, decentralized verification of the ownership), but I'm not sure what is the real-world compelling reason for using it. I mean this solves an issue of verifying the legitimacy of the ownership, cor

It's clever, but not exactly relevant to the GP's comment. pwnat requires the initiator to know the IP of the target host, so some form of external seeding is still required.

Among other, non-technical things it simply didn't scale well because of its re-broadcast nature.
