Isn't this environmentally irresponsible? I thought cruise ships had a huge carbon footprint and many negative impacts.

Yeah, that's the whole problem.

It's wonderfully written. I'm a big fan of both Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan personally. However the book was last updated in 1988 and I prefer C99+ for almost every feature it adds. If I'm going to recommend just one b

You can't rely on one tool, different ones catch different things. No one tool is best. I usually use "-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic", the GCC static analyser "-fanalyzer", cppcheck, and Clang scan-build. That's goo

I also love designated initialisers. C99 ftw.

The 2022 version is not to nag users with a registration flyover for your blog post, the instant the user visits and hasn't even read the first sentence. I won't visit Medium or Substack blogs at all because of this awful pattern.

Charts of numbers are only interesting for a second. Tell a story. How did the effort change for you over time? What personal changes have you noticed? What was the hardest part? Will you continue next year?

I'm amazed at the amount of people not even reading the full post and suggesting fail2ban or a different port (already done) or to setup a honeypot and generate even more bandwidth (worse)!

"Software company A pays software company B to develop open source software that company A relies on". Seems pretty good open source success story to me?

Have tried this several times but I find it drops off the network as a remote play device. If you have a PC with the Spotify app running, that appears as a remote play device to other clients. Otherwise I found ncspot to be more reliable th

This discussion popped up again the other day so I collated all the research I could and came to my own conclusions. tl;dr - Risk of myopia increases with light mode. That's more important to me than any cognition or productivity savin

That's cool. I've looked at the Modus themes before but I think the light version is a bit too light for me. All-white pages are so bright they kinda hurt my eyes. Maybe I need to turn the monitor brightness down...

I've read a couple of other posts about this (below) so I finally decided to give light mode a try for a week. I've switched to all Solarized Light terminal/editor/Firefox/GTK and turned off dark mode in the website

Yeah, we know how it works. It's a gigantic inference and association machine, not legitimate intelligence or creativity. You don't need to tell people this kind of thing here. We understand technology.

Thanks, I didn't realise. I always avoid substack for that reason too.

Why do new websites start with a blurb about the site, then a flyover to nag you to sign up for their mailing list? Whatever this article had to say is lost, I just hit the Back button.

No, he didn't. Remi Herbulot invented the HERAD music system, which used features of the sound chip that no other sound system did. Remi operated on a godlike level of FM sound production, the only other person who even approached him

Dune: Spice Opera is my favourite album of all time, and the rare CD is one of my most prized possessions. I'm friends with Stephane Picq on Facebook but he hasn't been on in years.

No it doesn't. Modern processors do out-of-order execution, so your program might be doing UB before you expect.
