Why would you want to avoid using a struct? Add a macro that declares the appropriate struct and get at least a tiny bit of type checking. With some clever use of _Generic you could even build specialised functions for that type and get pre

Write json5, which gives you most of the brevity of yaml without the terrible ideas I find even plain json easier to write than yaml. Especially when you factor in the scope of mistakes. Tiny mistakes can completely break the structure of a

I often suspect lists like these to be more of a reflection of what books people have been told are great, than any quality of the book itself. Ulysses being in the top three is a good example... I wonder how many of the people voting for i

I feel the field of microplastics has done itself no favours by referring to everything < 5mm as a microplastic particle. 5mm is huge. In american terms, it's amost as wide as a .22 calibre bullet, or a popcorn kernel

I gave up on timecapsule because performance has gotten worse and worse year over year. I replaced it with a periodic rsync backup to a NAS that is in turn backed up in other ways The upside is that it's dead simple when it comes to ho

Why do we insist on building cars to be safe in a collision when it would be so much nicer to not have accidents? Why do we build cancer treatment when not getting cancer is a much better option?

The article for example mentions MRI macines, aerospace engineering, fiber optics and semiconductors, so I guess it depends on if you want those things to still be available in a crisis
