I also stuck my nose down this rabbits hole about a year ago, while writing a blog post about TextMate color themes [1] (TL;DR: Some older TextMate color themes were made on the Mac when it was using Generic RGB and a gamma value of 1.8, an

On Windows, I've used the combination MSE + MBAM + EMET in the past. I think they complement each other well.

The chapter Understanding Git in Git Internals by Scott Chacon also has a good explanation of how Git works. https://github.com/pluralsight/git-internals-pdf

Is it just me, or are the bin sizes listed from jemalloc (assuming 150 should be 160, and 182 be 192) not dividing each power-of-2 range linearly? 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256, 320, 384, … It looks like, from 64 and up, each p

I think it is hard to find a more well-written and concise introduction to a programming language than K&R. That being said, the example code in the book is sometimes terse at the expense of readability (and security). I would try to pi

I moved from the other way from Mercurial to Git a while back. I started using Mercurial because the basic interface and operations appeared more natural to me. Also, at least at the time, the Windows support was better in Mercurial. After

Free BitBucket for private repos, free GitHub for open source projects. I would have considered the micro plan if it weren't for the 5 repo limit -- I am (sadly) not rich enough to pay them just for being nice if I can get the number o

The speed, and the text rendering for me. Sublime renders the fonts I use better, and it supports bitmap fonts, which I am still fond of.

What happens if a header file declares a function to return auto, does the compiler have to wait until link time to find out what the type is?

Looks promising, but disappointing it only supports the (more or less abandoned) official MinGW install [1]. [1]: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-668

On that subject; say what you want about how clunky CMake is, but it's really nice to be able to build projects like this with VC++ or plain MinGW-w64.

Except SourceTree works fine with both GitHub and BitBucket.

As I understood it, part of the problem was that they rolled their own memory handling which cached allocations [1]. Otherwise, I imagine system memory protection would have found this much sooner. [1]: http://article.gmane.org&#

CMake certainly has its own set of peculiarities, but sometimes it can work to let you build stuff on Windows with VC++ or plain MinGW without having to use MSYS/Cygwin. Creating portable software and then distributing it with a Posix

It's skipping over ':' characters (which serve as delimiters) to get to the next token of the string (or end of line). So it looks correct, but the check for end of line is superfluous (unless any architecture uses ':&#x

Writing a dynamic array in C is a good exercise in the amount of details you are spared in languages which provide basic containers. I recently revisited some example code I wrote many years ago [1], and found some new issues, and there are

I have been using TeamViewer for this for some years. It works quite well, is localized so less computer literate parents outside US/UK have a chance of running it, and is free for personal use (even on weekdays :-P).

This reminded me of Ayumu the chimp [1]. The difference between being able to perceive the overall image like a zebra, and the specific details like the position of nine numbers seems interesting to me. [1]: http://www.bbc.co.uk&

One trick you could try is: in find_longest_match, if you already have a match, check if the byte at match_maxlen matches before doing the linear compare off all bytes up to it. If that one byte does not match, the entire match has no chanc

Just noticed that pressing the exe download link on the front page actually takes you to the wiki entry now, that's helpful.

Perhaps part of the problem is perception. When people download an exe installer on Windows, they generally expect it to install something that works out of the box. Please note that I am not saying it should be expected that there is a one

I think the little cool details that make it stand out work really well for short code samples, but I am a little worried they might catch your eye too much and end up being counterproductive if you look at them all day while coding.

Not sure if it's related to what the OP meant, but I can see 5 failed login attempts from different IP addresses over the past 48 hours (and pretty much none before that).
