Now that Rust reached v1.0, I may finally look into it without the fear of wasting time to learn stuff that will change within next months. (It's quite sad, though, that recently released Debian Jessie won't have it in its main re

Thanks for mentioning Super User's BSD Cross Reference (bxr.su)! Apparently there are many more OpenGrok installations nowadays than it used to be 5 years ago. https://github.com/OpenGrok/OpenGrok/wiki/Op

I am not a Mac user, so cannot tell whether it's really "especially on the Mac", but I totally agree that most FLOSS with GUI has bad look and often bad UX too. It's easier to find well-thought-out polished CLI/TUI

XP was RTMed on August 24, 2001 and GA was October 25, 2001. But I can understand why you wrote what you wrote. Early XP experience for many remains repressed memory, because it was quite buggy (be it OS itself or drivers delivered with it,

The topic was modern C and in modern C environment NULL is defined as (void *)0 There is no point in writing longer form and it's still clearer and safer than 0 alone. C++ is another story with its void* hate built-in

I didn't know about use of static keyword in array parameter declaration, but I dare to say that a lot of senior C programmers are unaware of this C99 feature. It's nice to be able to specify function's expectations on that l

Looks nice. I was going to perform a shameless plug by mentioning my simple Linux OSD nanoproject (for those wanting to use some other recording matters, but still see the keystrokes on the screen): https://github.com/przemo

You are not. I hate how browsers nowadays, especially browsers on smartphones, are unusable without access to Internet. Sure, there is Pocket for instance, but IMHO there shouldn't be need for such app. And while I'm ranting at Po

I bought my T430 (N1T56PB) on August 2013. 10 months later "Tab" key fell off. 2 months later "A" key fell off and few months ago another one - "S". Currently "E" is the one that behaves a bit differe

I was never into FreeBSD (I hoped to dive into it more in the past, but never done so sadly), but heard that 1st ed was really good, so the revised version quite likely shouldn't be any worse (hopefully even better). I would order it,

Book was great, I really liked it. I haven't seen the older adaptation yet, but the more recent one (with Clooney) was IMHO terrible. Such adaptations make more harm than good.

Nitpick: You're talking about CRC32c (C of Castagnoli) - 0x1EDC6F41. By CRC32 without any additional context people usually mean CRC using polynomial 0x04C11DB7, which is much more common than CRC32c. CRC32 has also a nice feature: &q

Shouldn't "Europeans" in the title be renamed to "Brits"? In Poland we keep eggs in the fridge, be it home or market.

IIRC "security" plays important role here too, because using regexps you can much easier find sensitive data, or to be precise: context (neighborhood) of sensitive data.

C++ _micro_framework using boost. Just couldn't resist to notice that. ;) (I know that boost consists of many libraries, many of them are header only, etc. so using them doesn't necessarily result in terrible bloat.) Will have a p

What does it mean "in recent years"? Did QPC become better (and Sleep()/WaitForSingleObject() saner, as we're touching time-related stuff) in XP before EOLing? Assuming having Vista+, does it really work reliably even wh

Function you are looking for Windows is possibly not QueryPerformanceCounter(). It's unreliable when you consider various hardware, especially in multithreaded applications on multi-core/CPU systems. Even more if you use Windows u

It's amazing how much effort SC put in making UI more sleek yet degrading UX thoroughly. Stream is useless in its current form. It's much inferior to Dashboard (which wasn't perfect in the first place, but was quite usable, c
