You mean "a cluster of highly trained elite software ninjas masking as one guy in public". Eh. No, just kidding, of course, it's just that project^W site has a huge Fabrice Bellard-factor to it. Very, very impressive.

TIL about the chain [1] as a unit of distance, equal to 66 feet and divided into 100 links of course. Wow. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_(unit)

The unit symbols for those units (A, C, P and K) are capitalized, but the units when spelled out (ampere, coulomb, pascal and kelvin) are not, just like the spelled out forms of liter, gram and meter.

Meta: I don't understand "RNG" (random number generation, right?) in the title, since the article is about a quoting issue causing a value to be interpreted as a floating-point value in scientific notation, rather than a stri

Wow, cool to see Sigrok here, I wonder if there was some particular "trigger" story or how that happened. Glad to think that there will be many "lucky 10,000" [1] today. I haven't used it in years, but I clicked bac

Very nice and very straight-forward. I really liked the part on getting "Doom" to run, impressive how easy such porting is now! Any low-level C is kind of catnip for the old SO-powered part of my brain, but did not spend a lot of

Neat! This seems to be a way to mention the newly-released "Gigi" project [1] that is being used to generate the images in the post. Gigi is described as being a (Windows-only, as far as I can understand from a very quick look) &q

Uh, I get a mostly blank page with a randomly-placed YouTube icon on the right, and no actual text? Wut? Edit: Firefox on Linux/x64.

Ah, d'uh. Good point. That's what I get from mostly writing stuff like that in Linux, I guess. Thanks.

This is fun and impressive, but it feel the author kind of misses out on explaining in the intro why it would be wrong to just ... use C's regex library [1]? I guess the entire post could be seen as an exercise in wrapping C++ to C wit

If this was Reddit, someone would comment with just "username checks out". (In Gibson's "Neuromancer", an Ono-Sendai is a brand and/or type of cyberdeck).

Why write "pc" and not "%"? Is this a common style?

Wut? It changes before the click? That sounds ... magical. And what is "the hi"? Typo of "ui"?

I think the article refers to the actual human(s) doing the work, not machines. Quite confusing, not sure if it's intentional or not.

Thanks. It was really hard to figure out the basics, I had to google around to learn that the Oryon is an Arm core, implementing v8.7-A of the ISA to be specific.

One reason the article points out is to make the developer experience "portable" between projects regardless of underlying technology platform/framework. That is not necessarily something everone agrees with ("when in Ro

It is nice, and it's also nice that it contains notes on how right-shifting a signed integer is implementation-defined in C (it's not the much-feared undefined behavior) so inherently non-portable. You should of course always ch

Wow, a site about potato chips that is region-blocked so that I don't become a web serving cost without being able to buy their product, I guess. Wow.

What is the "alternate career path" the author mentions but never explains? I didn't get that part.

Very cool and informative article, and I love that Box2d is in C nowadays that really makes it clear. Great job! I saw a small typo: // wide float typedef b2FloatW __m128; The `typedef` is backwards, the alias and the

That's true, didn't think of pasta ... Not sure how to express it then, but on the other hand beverages sold as concentrate and mixed with water before drinking ("cordials" in English, I think) seem less common elsewhere

Just as a counterpoint, in Europe the requirement is to specify nutrition data per 100 g of "usable" product. Some products are e.g. intended to be added to water before consumption, then the nutrition is for that final form, not

This is innovative and kind of brilliant, I'm impressed! - Binary message formatting for efficiency and data integrity (float to/from string is messy) - Familiar printf()-style format strings that the compiler can check[*] gives t
