Thanks! I had a look at the code and it looked distinctly like C++, but it turns out there is a C version [1] too. Haven't looked into it further. [1]: https://github.com/syoyo/tinyobjloader-c

The caption says: European Model Shown. U.S. model only available with clear windscreen. Is that the piece of orange plastic in front of the handlebar base, that they are calling a "windscreen"?

Thanks, this was the sentence that was missing from the article and made me confused knowing that humans are basically made of carbon, but glass is not.

Yeah, this is an obvious meta-suggestion to rewrite the title to something like "'Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II' reimplemented in portable C" or something.

The notes clearly say that it only shows one meaning, and I it would be more difficult (five years ago before LLMs I would have just said impossible) to discern between different meanings of a word and pick the proper one. Edit: "trans

In what way doesn't it "make sense"? If supporting such a company (and, thus, owner/CEO/figurehead) makes you feel bad, why should you do it? Perhaps it doesn't make financial sense, assuming the boycotted pr

It sure is spelled "slöjd" in Swedish, but sloyd [1] seems to be a loan word into English from the late 1800s and the spelling was adjusted. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloyd

It's really hilarious that the founder of DEC married a girl from Finland whose last name was Valve [1][2]. Also, the linked article states: Before enrolling in graduate school, Olsen took a summer off and traveled to Finland. His par

Meta: this needs a "(2014)" label in the title.

Meta: typo in title, "became" should be "become", right?

That is insane (not your comment, the fact that the sensors are that small)! Here [1] is the first result when I searched, it's the powerfully-named Omnivision "OVB0B" sensor. It has a resolution of 16384x12288 pixels (=201,3

So, uh, the author mentions the "command palette" as being a killer feature, and links to an article about them, that has zero images of this GUI feature. I can't even ... what? I found [1] which at least shows what it look

[...] and the golden tube that goes pop (I can’t remember the name) couldn’t vacuum up the solder [...] It's called a solder sucker amazingly enough (perhaps desoldering pump is the more formal name). Very handy when they work.

Thanks, that looked strange to me too (Skärgårdshotellet is in Nynäshamn which is a small city on the mainland, not a tiny island 2.5 hours by ferry out in the archipelago). Also, if you're gonna mention the only city in Sweden which h

Note sure, but not all tasks are possible/easy to split among multiple CPUs so it's not always "might as well" ... Just saying.

This was very interesting, but is there some kind of formatting failure that prevents the actual instruction definitions (the syntax) from being shown alongside the explanations? Seemed ... oddly confusing. Even if these are undocumented &q

Very informative, like so many posts on the /r/whatisthisthing sub. It's awesome when random sources pop up, it's very rewarding! I had a similar moment once (I'm a regular reader of the sub) when someone asked abou

When the article said: These peppermills, otherwise known as “table seasoners”, evoke tiny household sculptures, powerful individually, but most compelling when grouped and viewed in sets. Is that some kind of direct translation from Dani

I liked how this project used "reverse mount LEDs" [1] which are perhaps not known to everyone. It means that instead of being mounted to a PCB and having the light shine "up" from the board, it instead shines down bet

I think you had a typo, you meant "snow" where you wrote "steam". For the water:steam ratio, obviously it's an expansion and I think it's around 1:1,600. Steam wants space.

I see I was down-voted, I was not trying to argue anything about the relative merits of different kinds of fats in food. I was just trying to explain how I interpreted the people who did argue that replacing seed oil with butter would be

I believe for seed oil (a controversy about I know right about nothing) that the idea is that if it were replaced with butter that would cause the end product to be less harmful, thus reducing the overall health impact of eating a lot of it

No, allocators are not magic (in that regard) in C. There is nothing out of the ordinary going on with an allocator, the parent comment is simply mistaken (as pointed out by another answer).

Next question: why are there two calls to `malloc()`, one for the Pool structure and one for the Chunks? It is trivial to co-allocate them which removes the risk of memory fragmentation and is just generally a good idea if you're chasi

So 1,700 out of 1,000,000, i.e. around 0.2%. "Not common" is one way of putting it, I guess.

The Oruga Unitrack [1] is listed as one of their case-studies, it looks awesome and I would really like to see it move. I found [2] on YouTube, but it doesn't seem to contain any actual video of the vehicle (and the voice-over says &qu
