My experience with vendor toolchains is that they generally suck anyway. In a recent bare metal project I chose not to use the vendor's IDE and toolchain (which is just an old version of GCC with some questionable cmake scripts around

"Why don't you just clone the repo?" Yes. Why dont you? If you're gonna grab a repo to make a code theft machine then at least dont ddos the servers while you're at it.

Emphasis on the freedom, especially the freedom to use by anyone for any purpose. If it took some people in the FOSS space this long that it also includes people, companies or purposes they disagree with, then I don't know what to tell

Sure, I put quickly put them into a small markdown file. At my job we have a cmake interface target that handles these (along with some version checks and project specific stuff), but I can't publish that of course. I might put these i

I think this is cause most developers just end up using steam's APIs for these things and since steam will be most of their sales they don't bother. I have seen games using epic's solution in their steam distribution. i do wo

Yeah, it can quickly lead to analysis paralysis. I've set up three laptops with a Linux on them for non-tech friends and family members and deliberately went with distros that "just work" (Debian and Fedora specifically). In

Most sensible Compiler flags aren't enabled by default... I keep a list of arguments for gcc to make things better, but even then you'll also wanna use a static analysis tool like clang-tidy

There was a grant in 2023 which was supported by the European Comission. So I think the topic itself isn't entirely unknown. https://nlnet.nl/project/Forgejo/

What for? Plenty of maintainers for various distros are from Europe and/or the EU. For example: https://map.debian.net/

String handling (or arrays in general) has got to be the single aspect of C that I despise the most. Its clunky to use, often needs unnecessary copying (e.g. atoi) and makes it really easy to invoke undefined behavior. I still don't ge

Stable interfaces and not being in versioning hell (cough libc) would actually be good for FOSS as well. If you make a piece of software today and want to package it for Linux its an absolute mess. I mean, look at flatpack or docker, a comm

Ahh, if you're on KDE then Okular should do the trick, it should even update live when you update the markdown file.

by juliangmp 10mo ago
It's a fine line to ride. You want both stability and new technologies and you have to find a balance between them. And obligatory: experience and competence may be correlated, but they are not the same.

That is an actually terrible pattern, the standard should mandate nodiscard on operator[]. Or maybe finally cast that cursed operator implementation into hell where it belongs. But alas, existing code is considered sacred in the C++ cult so

Mdbook passes a version and the renderer/preprocessor can/should do a version check. Since it uses semantic versioning I would expect it to abide by those rules. There's some example code in their docs (fn handle_preprocessin

I think platformio's selling point is multiple target boards via ts config. That and you can use an actual editor instead of the arduino "IDE", although I'm not a fan of vscode anymore either. I also think they have some
