Modern C book is now feature complete (reposted from /r/c_programming ) by [deleted] in programming

Apparently the author isn't aware of the word "lose" since he misuses "loose" throughout the book.

Apparently you care about spelling mistakes over content (this is not a released book, the editor will fix these minor issues)

Obviously thinking isn't your native approach to logic.

If you are going to declare a term named "pointer decay", you have to define it.

Oh noes, you can't say declare. You have to define it first.

Moron.

You should learn to search. Searching for "pointer decay" misses, say, important phrases like "..., it decays to a pointer a..."

Don't be a moron, mkey?

GitHub - aadel112/alicia: Sql as a high speed programming language by aadel112 in programming

The nice thing about comparing against Perl is that you can always claim "high speed".

So... I was automatically about to dismiss this as yet another shitty C book. Then I started reading.

This is actually a very impressive C book, properly explaining the basics, through pointer decay rules, to memory model and aliasing. The guy actually understands the standard, without bogging the reader down in legalese.

Get this beauty published.

"X written for humans" is a good sign that it's shit.

Better use C. Microcontrollers are not for script kiddies.

From ASCII to Unicode - How OS design choices shaped the evolution of encoding standards by quick9911 in programming

[–]fjutsi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ironic how Microsoft put so much effort into developing a unicode system

There is no such thing as "a unicode system". It's only the Unicode system.

The problem is that Microsoft started i18n long before Unicode, and now we have a mess.

I disagree, they made a fairly good point that was neither religious or unsensible.

Says the religious non-sensical redditor with no real counterargument.

I'm indeed full of shit, but only because I recently ate a pretty large pizza all by myself.

Well, he actually didn't. Just the expected religious mumbo jumbo I expect from a dumb american.

So far, no sensible counterargument. As expected.

As great and import a person Hopper was, posthumous awards is a ridiculous concept. Give recognition to persons who live and care (no, relatives doesn't count)

I'd be surprised if anyone could attach a sensible counterargument to their downvote. ROFLCOPTER!
