It seems they're using akamai adaptive media delivery. Unfortunately akamai doesn't seem to have pricing on the page. So maybe akamai is just milking them and they're passing the cost on to their customers. Though I do have t

I always thought the best way to learn programming is to find a program you want to create, and then figure out how to make that happen. This is still how i learn (most effectively) today. If i want to learn a new language or something, i w

I honestly don't quite understand what System76s intentions with COSMIC are. To me it feels like a regression from the previous gnome and i've kicked their plugins to get a regular gnome back. It just... Doesn't do anything m

Imo the middle ground here is that this is a common enough operation that it should be in your language's standard library, see e.g. [0][1]. And if you have to use C, then yes, write it yourself or copy some other implementation with a
