If we make it a national system: - For any requirements to be a part of the system, you can't pay a developer in one country and be accepted as part of the system in another country. - Developers in one country will not get money from

I don't know exactly what you are trying to say here, but as I said, the question is whether enough service providers want to make paying a developer a requirement for the things they control, so that enough people think paying is wort

I have been thinking about how to fund free software development for years and the best solution I have been able to come up with so far is... First, as stated in this article, the problem is the asymmetry. Normally you need to pay to use a

I mean if you use multiple translation units and header files, you need to have a copy of the function declaration in that header file to be able to call it from other translation units.

I always use unity builds for all my projects now. That combined with using tcc as compiler (for C code) makes builds really fast. Another nice feature of unity builds is that I don't need to declare functions twice and keep the declar

I used to like to rewrite code that I thought was "ugly" because it was not written in the modern way or it was not very generic or whatever. I thought that doing that was often pretty easy so I thought "why has no one done t

The funny thing is that the things that are not possible to measure will be undone all the time because people can't agree on how it should be. This means that there will be wasted time. First we have to write the code this way. Next y

Yes. When I worked as a game engine programmer, two of the first things I did were to improve the speed of compiling and starting the games. When those two things are faster, all development will be faster and more fun.

There are many different things that can be best because people value different things. It's pretty easy to be best at one thing if it's not the currently most popular thing. You probably don't even need to try to be best; as

I feel like there are two different things that are often talked about as the same thing: 1. Wanting to understand and learn. Here you use the help of another person to figure out what the best solution or the right answer to something is,

I don't know what you refer to when you talk about the style but it's just how I write code; I try to keep it simple. Some of the simplicity of the code is possible because it's bash, which both means that I can skip parsing

I think it only makes a difference if you ever want to go back to previous elements, like to iterate through the array again. Then it helps to have it in cache. Otherwise if you never go back (if you just iterate once), the best strategy sh

If I'm going to link statically, I prefer a smaller library, both for size and security reasons. I was also getting some issues when linking OpenSSL statically and I think (or hope) that will be easier to do with BearSSL.

Interesting to see BearSSL mentioned today because I have just started to replace OpenSSL with BearSSL in my webserver. The reason for that is that the server and the computer I develop on run different versions of Debian that have differen

All languages are unsafe because programming is inherently unsafe. Otherwise I look forward to the day when we stop driving unsafe cars, whatever that means. Accidents can always happen.
