I have my own ideas on why UEFI sucks, mainly around utf-16 and such, but I wouldn't really consider it bloated compared with some BIOS implementations. What is your objection to it?

I have been doing a lot of assembly programming, and I can't help but agree with this. It is crazy how simple x86 assembly language programming makes checking overflow compared to C.

It is not a good practice to paint with a brush so broadly. Americans believe Russia did no election meddling.

You can be dismissive of fan-death, but please know that the people who believe in it do so more out of national identity than reason. I have met many very smart lovely people who believed in it. Think of it more as regional pride in local

The programming model for c ffi that lua uses is, I think, a little nicer.

I would like if when people did this they automatically had it compile the library with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections. This would make my life way easier, and if anyone is reading this, please add these flags. Combined with strip

I think, not to put words in his mouth, that he is objecting to the idea of single file libraries as inherently good or better than a multi-file library. I think the objection is more about future design choices the maintainer will make.

I am not sure of a prominent code base that does this exactly, but some people do similar things with "amalagmated builds". Like https://www.sqlite.org/amalgamation.html

You should really be careful about c preprocessor macros when you do things like this with .c files. You should always undefine any macros defined in a file which are not properly namespaced(as much as C allows for pseudo namespacing).

Right, it is almost always possible to do anything. In practice I would rather have to change the includes on one file to get it to compile with musl rather than change the includes on 10+ files each with a different change. It is a matte

It makes it easier to relink against a different standard library like musl. Or for cross compilation. The fewer files to deal with the fewer places I have to look for issues in porting.

I don't really know why you are being downvoted. There are a lot of string libraries that do not work well with Unicode strings. If you natively speak any non-European language it can be hard to use those libraries to effectively solv
