In POSIX world you aren't encouraged to use a specific command for each goal you might have. Instead you get a set of basic tools and combine them to achieve the desired result. Without system() you wouldn't have pipes, and you wo

Yes, but it's not worth it. It's better to forget gcc and use tcc instead, which has the -run flag to compile and run without creating any intermediate file. It's also much quicker than gcc.

The use of $@ doesn't look right to me. In the trivial case exposed here where there are no additional arguments to pass to the .c program, the shell executes gcc "print.c" -o .out && exec ./.out and it wo

The artcle makes a weird use of the notation for successive exponentiations. It's difficult to represent the concept here as only text is allowed, but shortly the author uses a^b^c to mean (a^b)^c. This is counter intuitive as in most

Is there an explanation why BEVs fare better than hybrids in terms of brake dust? They use the same principle, so I expected similar performances. The article gives no clues, only these results: > It turns out that BEVs reduce the amount

According to TFA you can only kill processes and "until", being a builtin, doesn't spawn any new process.

An example of "stringly typed" in C is when you have to pass "r+" to fopen().

Ha ha! The worst thing about PTSD is that you lose the ability to discern legitimate uses of strtok() ever after. Its older variant, post-traumatic goto disorder, is known to have affected prominent computer scientists in the past...

There was another editor for the Amiga, possibly only known to the users of Matt Dillon's DICE compiler, that integrated so well with ARexx that at a certain time I suspect ARexx code surpassed the core C code. The name's DME and

I don't think it's fair to talk about "shortcomings" and "getting it right": it's a different approach and we must agree that personal preference will diverge. Personally, I tend to use action-selection fo

Beware that the second section about fixed-point arithmetic is actually about floating point with exponent in base 10. Besides, the operations are all wrong and only work for trivial values of the exponents, like 0, 1 and 2.

While I agree on hierarchical headings, I don't think H1...H6 are the right tools. These represent absolute levels, we would need a means to express "level+1". I think a H tag with no digit would better convey the meaning &

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you complaining because it has a leading -f instead of a different spelling?
