Technically, sure. What is the moral distinction though?

> Yes. I will watch it for free as intended, nobody posted the content to be YouTube premium only, so I won't pay for it, I will watch the sponsor segments though. Fair enough, but…

> I won't pay YouTube though, [in that case I will unilaterally decide that I can consume your content free of charge], sorry not sorry. For clarity, I just added the quiet part.

And once you've used that API to download and tag everything, what tools do you use to interactively view the results, run search queries, apply patches to local trees etc? If your…

It's easy to forget the maintainers' side of this. Yes, most contributors will prefer opening a PR on GitHub as apposed to mailinglists. But imagine instead that you are David Mill…

IIRC, I believe that the difference traditionally was whether to pass the input through the preprocessor (.S), or not (.s). Not sure if it makes a difference on modern toolchains.

Great writeup! Especially liked this nugget: > (NOTE: This grammar is 704 bytes in ascii, 38% larger than it's implementation!)

If they really don't think that they need to comply with any license, then why not include all private repos in the training set? Could it be that they're worried about legal reper…

While it might not be a special case exactly, you most likely won’t see /bin/[ being executed either. Typically your shell will implement it as a built in command. Because as you s…

A clear case of Rob Pike’s 3rd rule of programming: https://users.ece.utexas.edu/~adnan/pike.html

Xenomai uses this model, I believe. It is written in C, but I don’t see why you couldn’t do something similar with Rust.

Not sure if it qualifies as a GUI, but I’ve found magit increases my productivity with git.

For one, I think this would be cumbersome from a debugging perspective. All of the address-to-source-mappings in your DWARF section would point to things like "lib.c:237652" instea…

I feel like one alternative is missing from the list: fp = fmemopen(buf, sizeof(buf), "w"); fputs("one", fp); fputs("two", fp); fputs("three", fp); fclose(fp); Not sure how it perf…

I never argued that it was. Though, "embedded" covers a wide spectrum of systems. For microcontroller-based projects, then no. For bigger SoCs paired with hundreds of MBs of FLASH/…

I disagree. Sure, it is a monolith as apposed to a micro-kernel, i.e. everything in the kernel shares the same address space. But it is highly modular in that most drivers and file…

TIL about protothreads. Thank you. That does indeed look hair-raising!

The OS comparison table leaves me somewhat puzzled. Contiki's "C Support" is listed as "partial" without any explanation. What does this even mean? It seems to me that this should …

IHMO, threads are mostly useful for scaling a workload beyond the capacity of a single core. For all other types of concurrency problems, a single thread of execution using some ki…

I think you have to put his principles in a historical perspective. Sure it sounds somewhat extreme today when OSS dominates many layers of our business stacks. But assuming that t…

Thanks for the plug! :) Please allow me to follow up with one of my own https://wkz.github.io/ply/ , where you can see some examples and read through the manual. I'm currently work…

Yes, I agree with it being that way. I just think my brain parses the origin as being the corner that is closest to the "0" label. Therefore, if the labels where below the plot, th…
