C99 isn't a compiler version. It's a standard. Many versions of GCC, Clang and other compilers can compile C99 code. If you update your compiler from gcc 14.1 to gcc 14.2, both versions can still compile standard code.

Is it fast by default? Every time I scroll up and down I'm looking at empty space while the notes load in. And it's not just initial network delay, even if I scroll over already loaded notes it takes time to display them. I think

Why would a Rust for Linux fork want to stay up-to-date with all the latest commits that are in C? If all the latest commits in C are so useful, even to a Rust fork, perhaps the Linux C devs are not off-base that Rust isn't worth it fo

Redox is drama-free because Redox has very few developers working on it. In the last 12 months, Redox had 7 contributors that touched more than 100 lines of code. Hard to have too much drama if you have a handful of developers that do code

How do you stream millions of songs per month when there is 43,200 minutes in a month? If what you mean is you can pick from their library of millions of songs, Kagi sounds like an even better deal. For $10 a month you can search 400 billio
