There also seem to keep being accidents from SPLC, Vox, etc. where they label people as extremists on the flimsiest of evidence, and have to walk back their words. SPLC, for example, made a name for themselves by winning lawsuits against th

Good to know. What I meant to say is that it doesn't appear that there is any space for users to add boards like this. in a MacBook pro (which is what I have). I was just confused since this talked about being something that would fi

This is funny for me. I'm a singer and organist who has spent my life in churches and I am notorious among all my friends and family for loathing Silent Night (in good fun). It is slow, harmonically uninteresting, but worst of all it

C's strength is being the lingua franca of the bottom of the stack. I can believe that there are some applications that know a priori that they will never need to be portable to MSVC. But for any foundational open-source library, clo

C is effectively frozen in time, thanks largely to Microsoft's decision to deprioritize C support in favor of C++. C99 is almost 20 years old and MSVC still doesn't fully support it. Forget about C11. If you're a C programm

I strongly agree with you on the first one. Many of your other ones are byproducts of the fact that Bazel is primarily a build-from-source system. This has some benefits, particularly in a C++ ecosystem where binary compatibility across ve
