From an outsider, the main question is: does this expose an actual weakness in the Linux development model? From what I understand, this answer seems to be a "yes". Of course, it is understandable that GKH is frustrated, and if hi

Yes, I probably will get some reviews on some my experiences with them later. I also use stb.h, and very impressed that one can put so many things together in one file. Essentially I feel C is very good at doing what most other languages ar

It is very interesting to see your carefully choosing a specific layer of abstraction to somehow find the optimize both portability and performance. I agree that C99 might not always the right choice. BTW, I am not the ZPL author, but I col

These extra wrappers are most likely when library writer trying to cover windows platform, which has almost never been a good place for ANSI C programming.

I think that it is called "Powerkit" in a sense that it gives C programmers some tools that make daily programming task easier.

The article is using one or two features in a quick marketing style to promote rust. - Regardless it is true or not, this seldom works in long term. I just simply point this observation out. In fact language as tool is never about more feat

Can you give an example instead of just describing something rarely happened? For rust this is certainly the case, demonstrated by this thread and almost any other thread about rust, it is . TBH it is a pattern to see title "fastest xx

I think it would a be very in interesting psychological study on the reason for this. The similar thing happens for some other languages, but never at the level of rust.

Your C library does not check malloc returns and also malloc and free everywhere inside library functions are not the best way to write a C library.

"thread safety for all data" is not even a well-defined term, I do not know what you are trying to argue about.
643.
by up2isomorphism 6y ago
There is simply no way you can enforce "thread safety on ALL data", unless you pay unreasonable amount of synchronization costs, which in that case, is a trivial thing to accomplish. This is as same as some one tell you that you w

The article talks way too high level and is written like a marketing people even the title sounds technical, for example: "Rust enforces thread-safety of all code and data, even in 3rd party libraries, even if authors of that code didn

Actually I never see any occasion that a C guys jump into a well establish project and ask them to rewrite that in C. And TBH I rarely see other popular language did the similar things either, including very popular ones like python, Java o

My experience is that languages survives not because of a particular feature, but because they are USEFUL in practice to produce a software. The fact that C is used in so many places speaks for itself about it usefulness. And this is done b

You do realize it is a misleading term right? What is the difference for people just buy a NAS in term of "as much storage as you provide"?

by up2isomorphism 6y ago
You can not get UNLIMITED storage for $120/mo from google, it is simple as that.
649.
by up2isomorphism 6y ago
Then it is NOT unlimited.

by up2isomorphism 6y ago
Each time when I see something offer "unlimited storage" for free account, I know this is either a lie or not sustainable.

It just means it is barely usable, it is not "fake". It DOES NOT say it has "imploded" or "vaporized".

I want to point out the large part of "unreadability" feeling here comes from the fact the code is pre-ANSI C89. so tr(r,d)I d;{I z=1;DO(r,z=z d[i]);R z;} is just a function definition. I would say the structurally this extremel

Google has already lost the trust of being a company that remotely respects anybody's privacy, if any at all. I would rather spend time on some other privacy proposals.

All AWS/GCP/Azure is tell you guys: build you damn infrastructure, learn how to install software and configure you routes. If this is not clear, I do not know what is.

AWS should have no responsibilities on what is on the platform and it is also not taking all the responsibilities, so it should not pretend taking one. That is totally legal process's role. Anyone hope a A decide what B should do for C

Unregulated capital dominance is current at the historical peak in US. And funny thing is people can not do anything about it. Considering the time where AT&T (which is much more benevolent in today's term) can be broken up, today
