I'm not professional physicist, just trying to understand modern physics, partly as a Koan, partly as a part of philosophical endeavor. I think that my view is similar to yours. I'd say that modern physics really needs vast refact

It seems similar to my situation. Probably I'm not as praised as you are and people do discuss with me, however everybody else seem slow and I feel I don't belong, because my thinking is totaly different and I can't do much a

Of course, in the program like this. It's quite obvious that for a bigger program it would be much harder. I wouldn't use C for a big monolith system or if I had to, I would put much effort in diagnostic features. I don't wri

This is a very good point. Good testing, good programming practices, good logs are necessary. And it's not only about C. It's not so hard to do better than in Java. xD

Yes, I consider that memory management is the biggest problem with C. Always the question is what is more valueable to you: simplicity or memory management.

Is there any language that can save you from control tracing problem? I think that well made architecture is only solution. In fact I would say that C is easier in that respect (if you don't use goto), because all control flow is expli

Everything is matter of price. Such an error is nobrainer actually, because just before I get an error message. If I don't know that yet, I run on gdb and everything's clear. Couple of seconds. How manyof them I have to do to ball

There is missing NULL check, but it doesn't crash, because the function would get nonexistent filename only if filesystem driver would do something strange (or file would be deleted just between readdir and fopen). xD I also noticed, t

Nice and clear article. I like an idea of looking at quality of the process and not only the product. It was pleasant to read. I didn't like that C itself was missing, because C is still my language of choice for some tasks and I still

Sometimes I used old computers because they appeared functional enough. Not so long ago I used a computer from late 2000s and it was a quite normal user experience on Linux (on lightweight window manager of course) with a small exception of

First you have to choose your flavor. If you want to use JVM, probably clojure. Otherwise Scheme, Common Lisp and Racket. Scheme is rather minimalistic, Common Lisp is very functional and Racket is the most modern one I guess. I ended up wi

Amazing, just amazing. Thanks alot. I would only suggest author to set og:image in your pages. When you share it on social media no image appears, you know how does it affect spreading, right? :)

For me, the biggest boost lately was Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Black Swan, Antifragile. He's a real philosopher in a sense that he addresses real world problems instead on messing with theory. He's an insightful practitioner who buil

I've already seen that 3-4hrs/day is much more productive than 8. For me. I guess it seems impossible to management people. Sadly it's hard to find employer with this dose of trust. But relax. You go to work, do your job, put

The only thing I can share is my experience with Thinkpad E130. I've got it for about 3years and I'm really happy about how it's working with Arch Linux. I remember I had a little problem with installing bootloader (EFI), but

I find Vim+shell the best IDE i could have. Mates at work are usually surprised that I code in Java using it, but even they admit that it works for me. To be honest, most of needed features can be quite easily implemented using basic tools,
