As a non-web-dev, I'm still looking for a reason to not use Safari on my macbook. Perhaps I'm too dumb to see the difference, but I've never found chrome/firefox to be better than safari.

I hate how politics keeps creeping in software industry. A few weeks ago there was a heated debate on Twitter over changing "SLAVE" to "REPLICA" in Redis, and sadly the maintainer gave in to the pressure.

I'd be extremely careful calling a computer science professor's opinion shit-posting. He's basing his argument on end-user experience. You, on the other hand, are giving dev-experience more weightage. Depending on what you wa

Education is free in Germany. If all courses in the degree are offered in English, you won't even have to learn German. You'll have to bear costs associated to moving here, of course.

Apparently there is a C library for green (Go-like) threads called "libdill" or "libmill".

Slightly off topic, but I feel like calling an internet server running an OS "bare-metal" is a disgrace to what "bare-metal" originally and historically referred to, i.e. computer hardware without any OS. Maybe IaaS prov

I find it ironic that the "system" that you're writing Rust code for is entirely built in C :)

Depends on what do you mean by "work" here, which is a very vague term. One can argue that assembly doesn't teach you how computers work either because it "abstracts away" how transistors do their job. The point is:

I understood what the project is about as soon as I looked at the first para of README. I guess it takes some patience and some topic related knowledge to get the most of READMEs. You can't really expect the software authors to explain

I don't think there is any UB case that applies to the given snippet, or am I missing something? Treating unpacked structs as byte buffers is asking for trouble.

Its actually quite common for C programmers to create their own array type that knows its length, and use it in their projects. See this for example: https://github.com/antirez/sds

Did you apply the "non-official" patch for the deep-sleep? How well does it work? I'm actually waiting on Lenovo to release an official patch for it before buying this machine.
