It looks like a modest set of improvements to a stellar piece of software. I don't spend as much time in remote terminals these days, but I love mosh anyway.

Someone had already ported DOOM to the ESP32-S3: https://github.com/chcbaram/esp32-s3-boy_fw I ported it to the Adafruit ESP32-S3 TFT Feather, including fitting DOOM1.WAD into the internal flash with squashfs. It work

You might remove the use of multiplication at the end: return max(min(answer * sign, MAX_INT), MIN_INT)

With a more conventional sentence structure, the sentence would have answered the question "_who_ is concerned that the figure is wrong?" I'm not enough of a language lawyer in English to say whether this is truly a passive-v

I wonder if the non-portable linux openat2 with RESOLVE_BENEATH could help with this problem. The documentation suggests that it should prevent escaping the intended location via ".." components literally or in symlinks.

Yes, sort-of, though the "imperative" linker flags -( and -) may help you. if you can figure out how to quote them properly (or use --start-group / --end-group)

Depending on your goals, using a deadline sleep (sleep_until in C++ parlance: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/sleep_until ) rather than a duration sleep (sleep_for) is beneficial

ah a good list as a companion to my simple posix_spawn pipe example in another sub-thread here! thank you!

I think this turns out to be a tangent, but at least superficially it is possible for a C program to "do" shell pipelines without use of fork or vfork (directly) but rather by posix_spawn. I suppose "portable go" does no

I don't know that there could be a single "best" executable format. Here are some thoughts, as a person who knows some about Linux and little to nothing about Windows or Mac. As sibling states, formats have largely stagnated

yes though as sibling points out rejection can be bad for performance (hard to parallelize). I should have specified that the algorithm I suggested was sqrt-free and rejection-free (but does have a problem with distribution right near the e

This has been bugging me. I was absolutely confident a (non-super) nova was an expected event in the evolution of sun-mass stars. Currently, though, the scientific term "nova" (excluding supernovae) clearly is applied only to a si
