This is based on archives dating back hundreds of years. We really need to spend time and effort on making sure that there will be comparable archives of our time. Databases are neat and all, but how can we make them last for hundreds of ye

The text you quote says nothing about what values are used for IV. To me it looks like each block has a static name, probably based on its offset in the address space of the virtual block device, and that there's nothing telling the bl

I started out using JSMN for parsing JSON in our embedded devices at work, but the requirement to pre-allocate all the tokens turned out to be a problem - I was running out of memory when the configuration files got too large… So I wrote a

Is there a way to make the compiler list the applied optimizations for a specific function, in e.g. the .lst output? Would be very helpful when the compiler is doing something creative and you can't figure out how to make it do what yo

There's a simple solution: here in Scandinavia at lot of monetary punishments are based on your income. E.g. your speeding ticket costs you a week's pay. (Yes, tax evaders get off too easy with this system)

Ouch, that sounds like something that should have a permission. Permission for background or programmatic access, none needed to receive pastes initiated by user seems reasonable IMHO.
