   Why can't we have something like Linux in the web browser world? A web browser built by the community that does not depend on a big bag of money for its continued operation. Surely writing an open-source operating system that drives th

   I disagree, I think that is just the way idiomatic C code looks like and should look like. A post incremented dereferenced pointer for example is an idiom, it is so common that at some point you will immediately recognize it for what it is.

   Coming from C++, the main thing I am missing in C is generic data structures. Having to resort to macros to implement generic vectors ( https://github.com/eduard-permyakov/permafrost-engine/blob/m... ) I find c

    I read the documentation; and the shortcut is explained in the documentation. I've been using it for years already. I think that maybe the problem is partly that people just do not bother to read the documentation, and expect the tool

    Thank you for your comment. This inspired me to try to take another stab at studying category theory. I'll start with this lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8LbkfSSR58&list=PLbgaMIhjbm... Are there any good

    I agree in the sense that it is important to understand the underlying concepts of Git. Once that is clear in your mind, it becomes much easier to use. When I explain Git to other people I explain it as a tool for manipulating commit graphs

    This separation was never a hard requirement. For example `std::map` implements `lower_bound` and `upper_bound` as member functions because they can be implemented more efficiently than the general `std::lower_bound` and `std::upper_bound`,

    Agreed. Why would you need to run a daemon for the latter two points? These requirements can just as easily be handled by storing files in a fixed location in the user’s home directory.

    Lots of comments from people complaining about the lack of 32GB of RAM. Can someone explain to me the need for 32GB of RAM as a developer? Is it the IDE or your particular application area? As for me, I do all my professional development (C

    If you are interested in Stoicism as a life philosophy, I recommend 'A guide to the Good Life' by William B. Irvine ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5617966-a-guide-to-the-g... ).

    For me cost per print is not an issue since I print very rarely. When I do need to print, the printer should just work, and there the Canon printer had some issues (Pixma MP620). After upgrading to Windows 10 it turned out the printer was n

    I recently bought a dirt cheap Brother B+W printer to replace a Canon inktjet printer and am very happy with the decision. It is a small printer, Windows/Linux network printing is easy to setup and just works. My only gripe with it is

    For me it is worth it only for the many neat pointers on how to use `xxd` and for example `echo` to convert hexadecimal numbers to decimal. Great read!

    Hi Chris! Looks great! Are you considering a domain blacklist feature? For example, when searching for C++ documentation, I rather never be served results from cplusplus.com.

    Thank you for posting this! I was not aware of Notcurses, I just started using Ncurses for an emulator hobby project, will be an interesting read :)
