Nice intro, but it's very vague and not nearly a complete overview. There is a good book written by Jens Gustedt [0] which is a great guide for C with all the new stuff. The book itself is CC licensed and code examples are MIT licensed

More like LEEnode now. The network is dead and will never recover, even if Andrew steps down.

IRC and mailing lists are still the most important communication channels for a lot of projects (see: kernel.org and similar projects). It haven't changed for 30+ years and I hope it won't change in the future.

std::array<char, 26> foo{}; foo.data(); // <- returns a pointer to foo's data inheriting it's type. so we get *char here std::string would work in a similar way, except it would be `const`

A lot of organizations bought everything they could get a few years ago (especially airlines and U.S. military were buying like crazy and paying incredible prices). Now they have basically tons of floppy's stuffed in some warehouses ar

It's a reference to the kill and killall commands from *NIX, so it would be allowed if formatted as code.

Exactly. I dropped out of university, so I can't be hired by any German agency/office, because a degree is a hard requirement. But I can work for them as a consultant asking for more than two-three times the money... The salary is

Linux is C99, most microcontrollers use C99 or even C89. It would be nice to get the new features, but it's not always possible.

If you switch to PostgreSQL, then PostgREST would be a nice solution. It turns your DB into a webserver with REST API for data interaction. Add a simple frontend like you mentioned and it's done.

Depends on your Chromebook, I have a Acer R13 and it's installed and running (just checked it). Android app's don't have a designated "runs on Chromebook" Flag as far I know, so you can't really block it. But C

You are right, they will never do something considered good for the public or research, just because they want to retain their dominance and maximize profits. For example, my old university needs to pay in order to access papers, which the

I'm working for a small(er) (30ish people) software company and 9am is the general start of the work day, but it's not regulated or enforced. Some people start at 8am, but I for myself start mostly around 10am, except there are so

A while ago ARTE started a side channel and asked users how to name it, which we all know is a bad idea in the internet. The result was "Irgendwas mit ARTE und Kultur" ("something with ARTE and culture") and they really

I don't know who said the following, but it sums up CS pretty good: "There are two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors."

S03E04 for everybody who want's to watch it. Star Trek and especially TNG is one of the best SciFi series made. The technological point of view is very interesting, but the philosophical issues are even more intriguing and up to date.

There is a big difference here. The draft is about adding generics to the Go stdlib, not about if it's possible. Is it even possible? Yeah, there are some implementation (e.g. https://github.com/cheekybits/genny ).

Especially Autobahn in Germany is interesting. Generally there is no speed limit, but something called "Richtgeschwindigkeit" (the advised speed you should go, which is 130km/h). But there ARE speed limits on most parts of th

$30k is a significant amount, especially in academic environment, I don't deny it. But it's not much for > 100 servers. In my previous job, I had licenses which were about 15k€ for one server (thanks Oracle...) and the Windows

I really like Arch, but I wouldn't use it in production. Yes, the packages are up to date and there are not many problems with them. But did you try to rollback to previous version of a package? I had the problem on my personal lapto

That's weird. I'm running a mail server at Hetzner for years now and never got a mail rejected. Maybe you just got bad luck with the IP, which could be flagged at Spamhaus, etc.

Every language has something like that. In Germany it's called "Behördendeutsch" (administration german). Even as a native speaker with good language skills, you have to read all forms and letters at least twice to make sense

No coffee mugs, no post-it's, not a single piece of paper with some notes, no personal stuff -> can't be a engineering office. But the old Apple II on the shelf in the back got me to smile.

Dart The language is pretty performant, nice to write and read, OOP, portable, strong typed, etc. Can be used for scripting, backends, etc. With Flutter, you can get Android and iOS apps with the same codebase and near native performance. D
