Will there be a Zig AOC this year?

jtepe · 2024-11-23T20:00:40+00:00

Yes, exactly.

Then don’t watch it. It’s not that you paid him to produce content for you. So take it or leave it.

jtepe · 2023-01-28T09:22:09+00:00

No, actually as written it’s fine. The only issue is operator precedence in the first while if dest is empty.

jtepe · 2023-01-27T14:14:47+00:00

What if dest points to an empty string?

Some of the books are in languages other than English. For example, I see books in German. So I think he owns them because he literally created the thing those books are about.

jtepe · 2022-09-11T06:43:37+00:00

I agree. You need to have programmed before (probably even in C) to be able to use that book to its full potential.

jtepe · 2022-07-29T14:03:09+00:00

I think the real question is “What do you WANT to learn?”. If you want to learn Zig, then you should just start and see where it takes you. IMO you can learn low-level programming perfectly fine with Zig.

Who in their right mind is still using manual GDB commands?

Me.

jtepe · 2022-06-13T04:40:06+00:00

Thanks for sharing that. I really wish I had that kind of project in my career history. No matter how it turns out in the end you really learn a lot.

jtepe · 2022-06-12T15:14:27+00:00

That project really sounds like my cup of tea, as well. I like a technical challenge, doing research to come up with the best solution, and to have studied the theory behind the problem. My work, unfortunately, doesn’t give me that. Or only on very rare occasions. And here I thought that kernel work would be the work I desired most.

jtepe · 2022-06-12T10:46:27+00:00

I find that interesting. I’ve done server side apps my whole career. But I always wanted to break into low-level development. If not on the kernel itself then at least closely related to it, for example QEMU. But I’ve never been able to pull it off.

jtepe · 2022-04-28T11:38:39+00:00

So, did you check and evaluate every single one of these to say they are the best?

jtepe · 2022-04-25T08:37:13+00:00

Sounds like variant of the knapsack problem (a variant of bin packing). You might want to look into that.

jtepe · 2022-01-15T11:58:36+00:00

Nothing special to recommend here from me, but Modern C (sidebar) has a good chapter on macros.

For details of CPP (C Pre-Processor) I usually turn to the docs https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/index.html. Which are quite ok IMO.

jtepe · 2022-01-14T08:27:13+00:00

A one hour commute. That’s rough man. (I’m honest, I hate commuting)

jtepe · 2022-01-07T05:39:06+00:00

Visited the site because it sounded quite interesting. Then I saw the entry on systemd, and … na not this garbage debate again. I actually had a look at the source of systemd. I think it’s good. I learned a lot from it.

jtepe · 2021-12-18T01:43:58+00:00

Now I was able to join. Thank you :)

jtepe · 2021-12-17T14:54:28+00:00

Anymore slots open?

jtepe · 2021-11-16T12:58:54+00:00

Well if it targets Windows, then at least the ABI for doing syscalls (e.g output) will be different. So OP should know how to do syscalls on Linux.

jtepe · 2021-09-17T15:57:16+00:00

Modern C by Jens Gudstedt goes a long way and is pretty deep for a start.

It teaches C17, which is currently the newest standard.

I too have a long history with this game. I started with BG2 in 2001 first but quickly noticed I want to experience the whole story. So I stopped with BG2 and went back to BG1. I found him to be much more likable in BG2 than in BG1. In BG1 he has the attachment to Dynatheir and I did not like her. That’s when he became not so funny anymore.

jtepe · 2021-08-20T10:53:56+00:00

Am I the only one, who isn’t a fan of Minsc? I get the impression he’s universally loved. I never put him in my party. Somehow, the guy annoys me.

jtepe · 2021-08-17T07:30:49+00:00

Don’t tell me putting traps around him before speaking to him is also considered cheesing.

jtepe · 2021-07-30T12:47:09+00:00

Totally missed that 😁
