I am one of the "stop exploiting UB" camp. [1] I agree that some of us are unreasonable, but I do recognize that DWIM is not feasible. I just want compilers to treat UB the same as unspecified behavior, which cannot be assumed awa

Use copyleft. I know it isn't mainstream, but companies try to avoid those licenses as much as possible. Tinfoil hat: sometimes I wonder if companies astroturfed support for permissive licenses. Getting the entire Rust ecosystem to avo

Not just to fix the broken CVE system, but to fix a lot of things that are broken in our industry.

Copyright reserves most rights to the author by default. And copyright laws thought about future changes. Copyright laws (in the US) added fair use, which has four tests. Not all of the tests need to fail for fair use to disappear. Usually

Those sound like very good adjustments.

Actually, that sounds brilliant. The only problem is taking into account those that are not good at public speaking. Is your company hiring?

My blog post doesn't condemn the C community at large because it was the HN comments on that post where I found out that the C community is a bunch of hypocrites.

I was willing to, but the consensus was that people wouldn't use it. C and C++ programmers complain about UB, but they don't really care. TCC is probably the closest thing we have to that, and for me personally, I made all of my s

Designing a new VCS, operating system, and GUI framework because those are the three things I am most worried will be taken over by corporate interests. I don't know which one I will actually implement, though.

My problem with Kagi is the AI junk. I get that people want it, but I do not, and I don't want to pay for it. In other words, if there is no "zero AI" plan that is cheaper than the equivalent one with AI, then count me out.

I bought this Windows 10 key long ago, so no license key harassment.

Oh, Linux is my daily driver. Gentoo, so I am no Linux noob. I just use Windows to build and test my FOSS on it.

So I have Windows 10, and I was not looking forward to the "upgrade" to 11 at 10's EOL because of the TPM requirement. With this change, I have decided to accept the insecurity of not updating and stick with 10. The only thin

Friction without growth is bad friction. Friction with growth is good friction, so long as the friction is minimized for the amount of growth. And by "growth," I mean anything that helps people to "level up," such as lea
