Technically, sure. What is the moral distinction though?

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 on-disk format is an Mbox or a Maildir, you can use to

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 Miller, and it's your job to consume the absolute

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 repercussions, whereas OSS is easier to (ab)use for thi

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 say, spawning processes is expensive.

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" instead of "lib-module.c:347". It also means t

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 perform

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/RAM it can be very useful. My original point

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 filesystems can be dynamically loaded/unloaded.

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 be between you and your compiler. L

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 kind of event loop is usually a better fit.

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 the industry would have naturally seen the OSS light is far f

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, there would be no parse error :)

How would this be different from &? It is also a unary operator and && is a different binary operator. '||' and '&&' are distinct tokens in C as far as i know, i.e. not handled as two consecutive &#x2

The argument was not that freedom of speech follows from democracy. You could theoretically have an authoritarian rule that allowed unfiltered criticism against it. The argument was: not allowing freedom of speech is always wrong, independe

The same argument could have been made about Europe not so long ago. I think one difference is that back then the playing field was more equal. Military power was roughly equal to the number of people you had fighting on your side. Fighter

The one online tool that I use for this kind of work is Woboq Code Browser. It's only C/C++ projects and not many are freely available. The Linux kernel is though and I spend a lot of time in that code base. glibc, gcc and llvm ar
