I was hoping one can setup a "modern" C development environment without resorting to Docker. Using Docker for setup a C development environment indicates that there are too many moving parts and the development environment is esse

The notion is highly misguided. What actually hides being it is: unless everyone cares about it, then no one cares. What if only one in a thousand people care? That's a huge number. You could have 10k or 100k readers. It's a minus

So if I create a brand around a drink I can just run a few commercials on TV to associate my brand with something people want (like I don't know, being percieved as sexy by the opposite sex) then I will have a successful business? 100%

Doesn't even work there. It only appears to work if you think that kind of advertising is how they got to their market position. Usually it's not. Let's Docker for an example. Docker did not get adoption because of some clich

Talking about supposed benefits instead of features is the worst marketing advice I've ever heard that's often repeated by everyone. It obviously doesn't work. Can you imagine a restaurant flyer that just says "Enjoy del

That's not what it means to not care about commit messages. It means the commit only needs to make sense to my self until next week. If I see a commit from 2 weeks ago and I don't know what the message means, who cares? I hardly l

as a solo developer, you are free to commit however you want I use commits as rollback points. If something works and I want to try something risky, I commit first. I don't care about the commit message. I basically never look at any c

No one made anything up. It's obviously the intent of the question. You can pretend that's not the case all you want.

If you're interested in what it takes to render bidirectional text with complex scripts and line breaking, I had the experience of implementing that (in immediate mode too) and wrote about it here: https://hasen.substack.com

It's ok man. I don't need to be cheered up. It's completely fine to accept your situation without giving up on improving it. The problem is when people refuse to acknowledge reality because they really hate certain labels and

Thank you for posting the link. This was definitely one of the inspirations (in terms of the provocative titles). But I couldn't remember what it was called exactly.

UTM is great in theory but I can't seem to be able to get directory sharing to "just work" and it's very frustrating.
