Because there is no separation between API and implementation? Header files are great, you don't have to wade through implementation details or documentation to figure out what is API and what isn't, even more so with good use of

"Libraries are just a bundle of .o files" Static libraries are more or less that yes (at least, that mental model is sufficient for pretty much all day to day use of them), but dynamic libraries aren't, at all. As an asid

"Precompiled headers are/were are thing, but they're very brittle." In compilers other than Visual Studio, yes (or so I'm mostly told - I don't have all that much experience with them), but msvc has had them si

"Basically, the compiler has a state which can be modified by these directives. Since every .c file is treated independently, every .c file that is being compiled has its own state. The headers that are included modify that file&#x27

Yes, bedrooms have the windows open more often, and usually less/no heating. How many hours a day do you have the windows open? Is there a heating source on or nearby? If you close the window, you'll see RH drop quite fast (in mos

"The UK and most of Northern Europe has rather high humidity in the winter." Indoors? No, not at all. In the winter the temperature in my house/office is 21-22C and 17 at the lowest at night, and I have to run a humidifier

Yeah that's one kind of split, but google 'n day split' with values of n in [4,7] and you'll find many.

This. Also, please start a blog, a podcast and a youtube channel, so that I can be inspired by your anti-hustling lifestyle every day.

Ever since Business of Software forums died off, I've been looking for a replacement. As you say, when you go looking for them, all you will find are these 'hustler' filled places. In the early days, HN had a fair share of Bo

Not sure, maybe your SMS client has a way of encoding it somewhere in the metadata, and if the recipient uses the same client, it does show up like that? The SMS 'protocol' (if it's called that) doesn't have it, AFAIK, a

You can send to multiple, I guess that's what you mean? When someone replies, it doesn't neccessarily get send to everyone. It's like email with a bunch of cc's vs listserv.

Why would a sizeable portion of people start at 22? 18-19 plus 4 or 5 (there are plenty of 1-year masters - maybe not in Denmark, but elsewhere in Europe) is 24 at worst. It's true that 10 or 20 years ago it was normal to spend 6 years

I got an rfid implant 10-ish years ago. It's useless really, after the first giggle of signing in to Windows with your hand (I hacked up a gina module at the time to do this). Because of the many compatibility issues, it's hard to

They seem to get lumped in with the EE guys, for whom just like the MechEng guys there are wholly different salary expectations (probably a supply/demand thing). I guess in embedded companies, software is just a necessary annoyance.

"Is embedded development really that poorly paid?" At least in Belgium and the Netherlands it is, yes. I've interviewed a few times for roles like that, and they were always poorly paid and very depressing looking (like one g

Is it just me or was the knee-jerk 'racism!' on everything immigration-related in the article off-putting? I mean, is it racist to say that immigration might cause a decline of average intelligence, if it's clear that there a
