For someone who appears to be from Germany this is a very American centric view. Perhaps he is too young to have first hand knowledge of computing during 70s and 80s?

The idea that if you provide an alternative to free which requires the originally allocated alignment and size then users of it will provide the correct values is very naive. Rust's allocator interface looks very similar to malloc and

This is probably not a popular opinion, it is now wholly unnecessary and was often abused but I would say jQuery's source code. It took a language previously considered as a toy with different implementions that were inconsistant and u

Ain't that the truth. But the absence of something is not something that can be shown easily.

AFAIK There are no UTF-8 specific interfaces on windows, only the system codepage ( A) and Wide character ( W) interfaces. Configuring the system codepage to be utf-8 is possible, but doesn't solve all encoding problems in my experienc

By your logic, should z/OS not be used then because it is old and has quirks? EBCDIC is bizarre by modern standards. Non contiguous alphabet for instance.

So what is the best practice for reading files from z/OS and OMVS? Should you: Look to see whether the file is binary or text, if it's text what encoding is it in and what is the record length (if there is one). Then open the file

Man, IBM mainframe stuff is pretty messed up. Attribute splitting much?

There's a balance to be had for sure. If you bring in some module to a project it comes with costs of its own. That's not often well understood

npm is a good example of the "buy vs build" idea, although npm modules are mostly free of course. Why write code when you can just call someone else's? But then you get problems like the left-pad fiasco

This article could do with a modern retrospective and update. Who refers to "expert systems" now?

You shouldn't think of personal projects in terms of the end goal. You should instead think of what you learn by doing them. It's a cliché, but is not the destination that important but what you learn along the way. Try to plan ou

This is a cool feature and I'll likely be using it in the years to come. However, the posix standard command xxd and its -i option can achieve this capability portably today. It will be useful to achieve it directly in the preprocessor

This kind of optimisation for short term gains at the expense of long term sustainability is what is causing climate change and the collapse of the global economy. But the politicians and heads of industry who preside over this situation wi

If it were to be, GTK5 would be de-facto GNOME only. At that point GTK development would become forked.

But OOP was specifically created to model real world objects and their relationships. If this article is saying OOP doesn't do that very well and we should not think in those terms, what's it good for?

I hear that there's research that suggests that the herpes virus causes Alzheimers by preventing breakdown of plaques in the brain. Maybe you could try obtaining Remdesivir to see if it helps? Eating a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids

A small shot of Bailey's Irish Cream when I wake up to knock the edge off the day. Nytol to help me get the best possible night's sleep at night. I also try to limit the amount I read the news.
