Recently retired my early 2008 mac pro; replaced by... a hackintosh! I used to use that machine as a linux workstation, but I've replaced /that/ by a bigger one still. And yeah, if there was a pro machine that wasn't rid

Actually this is pretty cool, you can make the same sort of semantics as C++ stack based objects in plain C. With a couple macros you could make it pretty much feature equivalent. Thanks for posting that!

After my nexus 5 PoS I'm definitely ready to give them a miss. N5 screen cracked all by itself, while flat on a table. I was amazed. Oh, and the N9 is worse still, after a year or so, the screen is no longer flat, it looks like a dish,

I find them very entertaining! I mean, a little while ago one was adamant that his new fancy SD card made his audio sound better. I worked in pro-audio kit for a long while, as long as there are audiophiles, they'll be work, employment

Well they can plunder properties, however, this is not the direction everything seems to be headed; for example, they've just relieved the inheritance tax, they are trying to help people buy property, it would be massively counterprodu

If people used precompiled headers (which have been available for about 20 years) that problem wouldn't be there... However I'm not sure that the parsing is such a bottleneck these days; I think all the complex constructs are a lo

Now that LuaJIT future is getting a bit hazy, it migth be time to consider switching over to a small JS for embedding. For many. many years I used spidermonkey from mozilla (and it's descendants), but it's no longer small at all,

I know the feeling, one of my favourite tree just died in spring; it was all fine during the winter, and just died like that. 5 years of work, and p00f!

Duff's is not just about unrolling, it's mostly a way to use the 'case can be anywhere inside a switch statement'. It's used a lot for other purpose, some of them very, very handy. The stackless coroutine trick is v

That's one of the few nag I have about C; this syntax is fantastic, and theoretically allow the compiler quite a lot of freedom to optimize access to the bitfield, and the fact that it was never standardized means you just can't u

I looked at all the recent smartwatches for a while -- I hadn't worn a watch in 20 years. TL;DR, I didn't buy one -- instead I discovered the world of real mechanical watches which I had totally ignored for years and bought some o

I'm a big fan of Luajit, I think it's ease of use of FFI makes it fantastic to integrate into bigger projects; all that 'glue' that I haven't had to write !! Hope someone pick it up; I can understand he wants to mov

I kinda agree with him on the 'nothing changes' in Tolkien; in fact, it won't be a popular opinion, but I had difficulty reading it; and in fact I'm also bored to death with the films. In other words, I'm not a fan.

I think the real reason is 'cost', and the loss of productivity isn't quantifiable anyway; so whomever makes the decision can put an exact number on how much he 'saved' while being able to ignore the side effects. I

I don't see adblocks at being the problem; adblock is /mandatory/ these days on the web; for the 0.01% website that deserve the revenue, the rest is there to abuse it, put autoplay flash, full screen popups, tracking cookies

Thats a very cool hack! I personally use 'tcc -run' to call into .so's from the shell, but it's quite limited as far as interfacing back to a shell..

Well you already know where it leads. I think if you have a smart manager, a good long talk might be in order; explain that if you feel the urge to bolt and find another job, it's probably not a good idea for anyone involved. Explain t
