I suggest you add a trailing - (hyphen) to detect scripts unable to treat filenames separately from options.
752.
by teo_zero 3y ago
I disagree. There's also a Return key, but you don't want CR in file names. A file name is not a document's title.

The "big bug" indeed limits the possibilities of _Generic. But if you really want to abuse it beyond its intended scope, I think you can simply add some casting, and not the gimmicks with nested _Generic. #define length(x) _Ge

To prove your assertion, would you mind defining a length() function via macros that works with both a char * and a pointer to a struct {int len; char *data}, as the fine article explained?
755.
by teo_zero 3y ago
_Generic is not part of the macro level.

I don't understand this: > at least a 16:10 ratio, if not taller Should the ratio be at least or at most 16:10?

But this is not the original problem! Only p's should decrease the counter, in your code every non-s does.

Easy: I'll invest the same effort but for the double of time.

Your reasoning is sound, but is based on this assumption: > These are relatively rare scenarios. I wonder if this is true...

I liked every bit of it! I wonder if we should pretend from every AI agent to attach a confidence level to every answer they utter.

If you pre-allocate a large enough buffer, you can keep a pointer to mark the boundary between the part where you have already stored data and the part still empty. Then re-implement malloc() to just move such pointer. Of course you must ch

I've always thought this anecdote about Henry Ford is misleading, if not utterly false. In most cases giving people what you think is best for them and not what they ask for, results in a completely failure. Only a small percentage of

Ok, you convinced me about the upward trip. Now what about returning to the app window?

Please note that in the paragraphs that you quoted Stallman is talking about hardware, not firmware. He tolerates firmware blobs only if they are loaded once to the device and never changed (yes, I know it's more complex than this, rea

But you don't have argc, only argv. The C stub will derive argc by traversing argv and then pass both to main().

Why reader mode?! It simply strips all styles and only retains contents. This webpage has no style, so reader mode should do nothing. If you see differences, it means your browser has different defaults for reader mode and normal mode. Choo

From the docs: > For this to work 'setxkbmap -option compose:menu' must be run after keyd has started. So now I need to run keyd AND setxkbmap, and setup my configuration in /etc/keyd AND ~/.XCompose

by teo_zero 3y ago
I think this would be valuable if it replaced ALL other tweaks and hacks. According to the docs, it still requires other tools/configurations e.g. to make compose work.

I don't get this. You define the layer meta_mac but there's no key that uses it...

I agree on the first paragraph, but the second one applies poorly to strings: char *s = "hello"; "hello" has length 6 because there's a hidden \0 even if I never wrote it in the code.

Isn't this exactly what the fine article does?

> this looses much of its power once you start passing these buffers around to functions that do not use these macros. Alas it's even worse: once you pass buffers around to functions, you can't use these macros!

Could the XY-problem problem be called the (XY)² problem?

True. No writer can imagine what's beyond the singularity, as no astronomer can look into a black hole. They can only explore "around" it, outside the "events horizon". This is by definition of singularity: if it wa

Minutes are ok, but cahotic hours are not easy to read. Can't you place the hours in the conventional order inside (except 12 would be where usually 11 is)? Imagine the moving ring has two sets of marks: 59 to 61 outer ones that align
