In general, I agree with a lot of what you're saying here about eating more vegetables and way less sugar being the way to go health-wise, but I do want to respond to some specific things you've said. > You can find really good

I think this is a very good and very underrated point. I'd like to see some evidence why there's any reason to assume repetitive movement with less stretching is somehow less harmful than repetitive movement with more stretching

Obviously anecdotal, but in my personal experience this is pretty close to the truth.

Thanks for letting me know, should be better now! :-)

First of all, there is no way the compiler is going to optimize a call to memset(&foo, 0, sizeof(foo)) when &foo is being interpreted as a void pointer. That doesn't even make sense. Second of all, in a generic C interface key

sizeof(struct foo) is required to return the actual size, including padding, so struct foo foo_inst; memset(&foo_inst, 0, sizeof(foo_inst)); will certainly result in all padding bytes being set to zero.

To be clear, there are obviously different/better ways to handle this in C++. We're talking about K&R C here.

Yeah, it's called memset. Not sure if this bug is supposed to be subtle or something, but if you require the padding bytes to be consistent then you need to consistently initialize your structs. Ignoring UB often leads to these sorts

DuckDuckGo itself supports this. Just start a query with !g to have it routed to Google. For example, "!g search on Google" would bring you to the Google search results page for "search on Google." DuckDuckGo supports

This is fine, but it somewhat defeats the purpose of the opaquely prefixed header. I think the idea is just to be able to treat an SDS like a normal string. Unfortunately, there's no way to have that property not be commutative in C.

Seconded. The current title is misleading and not fact based.

Yeah, not a lawyer outside of my armchair, but I don't really see how they could ever be convicted of any of this. It sounds like there's a very good chance they were contracted by a legitimate security auditing firm to do a job

Unfortunately, I think this type of thing actually is the case for many organizations. Trying to explain the business case for paying off technical debt to a non-technical person can be very difficult when "right now everything works.

Honestly, these doors are terrible. I just moved out of an apartment building where they were for some reason required and everything from carrying in furniture to carrying in groceries. I know this is extremely tangential, but if anyone

Am I the only person who actually finds Esc easier than C-[ or Caps Lock? Maybe it's just heavy muscle memory at this point, but I've been using Esc for years and every time I try to use anything else it just feels clunky.

The book "Stat-Spotting: A Field Guide to Identifying Dubious Data" by Joel Best goes into a lot of this kind of stuff. Some of the examples here (and in that book) seem so obvious once you hear/see them from the right angle

I'd like to see such a comparison too. I've been considering switching to YouCompleteMe from ctags/cscope, but this looks like it might be even nicer, especially since a number of my teammates already use Intellisense with o

WSL filesystem performance is garbage, for one thing. Chances are good that if you're using Windows but you want to be using a Unix OS, it's your work that's forcing you to use Windows. And, if that's the case, chances
