Sure, but only if the text file looks like a C string literal, i.e. starts and ends with double quotes (which would make it into a weird text file). Doing const char *s = " #inclued "test.txt" "; won&#x2

Uh, sorry for possibly seeming dense, but did you mean to write "cobain" there? What does that mean, in this context? All I can find searching the word is of course about Kurt Cobain ... wondering if you somehow abstracted "a

I had to read your comment twice, I first mis-read "pom" as being a badly kermed [1] "porn", which made the entire thing hard to parse. Then I realized I wasn't sure what "pom" means (not a native speaker,

Yeah, thanks for the support. I guess I need to work on my tone, less snark more helpful. It's a bit comforting at least that people like you exist, who are web developers but still didn't know this one. :)

What would you suggest instead? Being able to link pre-compiled object files to a new program is certainly a bit more than "a kind of incremental compilation", in my opinion. It's also a fairly clean solution to the problem o

CORS = Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. There, that wasn't so hard, was it? I assume this is written for web developers who find this the most familiar acronym in the world, but ... still, it would not kill anybody to include the definit

Very interesting project, but I must admit I raised an eyebrow when the author said it was nice to use an ATtiny25(8-bit core) instead of the usual (32-bit) ARM micro controllers, then proceeded to use float in the code all over the place

I was going to post a comment about the regex used to (coarsely) validate email addresses made no sense, but when I opened the article in a new tab to copy for quoting, it had changed. :) It's now "^[^@\\s]+@\\S+$" w

Yes, it's really cool to see. I imagine it's really scary to experience in a less dramatic situation, i.e. when you're not crashing but still having the bag inflate while in the driver's seat (hit when standing still etc

Very good question, grandparent is ... intriguing. I found a Japanese-market tv [1] but don't think it runs off 9 volts very well. [1]: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/HT-SB115-65UB10PB-Speaker-Blue...

I learned C after years of first Basic, then MC68k assembler (Amiga 4ever etc). Pointers never seemed hard or confusing at all. :) #lifehack

Oooh that issue also has a preview of the Commodore Amiga, with epic block diagrams and tech specs. Having grown up learning the ins and outs of the Amiga 500, that is really nostalgic. Also seeing "Computing at Chaos Manor", Jerr

Sitting even further north than Denmark, the OP did say that their melons are imported. Although it's possible to grow them in Denmark (especially in a greenhouse) perhaps it's not commercially viable. Regardless, I guess the OP j

That is ... a bit weird, since C does not assume, recommend or require that non-heap variables are implemented using a stack. It's weird to teach a language while also ripping a hole in one of its main abstractions and assuming stuff a

Gasoline cars have sparkplugs, so it's not really a strange association. At least not in my opinion. In fact, I guess in gas cars sparks are "better" since they are engineered in, and doing useful work.

Uh not a native speaker, but the very first sentence of that blurb: Brand Licensing provides the permission to trademarks, under defined conditions. Really doesn't read well to me, feels like they omitted a verb, like it should be &q

True of course, didn't think about that. I'm not a web developer. :) Still think it's weird and kind of against my feeling for the spirit of a URI, but that's just me. Thanks.

One (IMO reasonable) objection/confusion might be that the the repo URL is the exact same as the web page, i.e. the actual posted article. When coming from git/Mercurial/subversion etc as I do, it is at least mildly weird tha

Yeah, and it's not enough to do e.g. d = random_block() for block in capacity: block.write(d) if block.read() != d: fail("fake disk") Since that would be fooled by a device mapping all reporte

I love two things about that site, after discovering it now: - The fact that the ordering form does not compute the total price, and also asks you to manually keep track of adding $0.25/ea for orders under 100 pieces. - That they pract

Uh no don't reassign the loop variable in the inner scope. Use: const j = (length - 1) - i; in that case. Much safer.
