If running static analyzers, testing for memory leaks, running end to end tests which takes days, adding strong bounds checking, and failing fast and with great noise as soon as something does not look right is not caring, you’re right. I don’t care.

All this is done for a code which has no network access, no kernel level work, even doesn’t accept any input after parsing the input model and making sure that it’s well formed with no loose ends.

I sometimes work in Amsterdam. It's near my house. I hate tourists in Amsterdam. They clearly come to my capital for the wrong things.

> Without fertilizers? Nope.

Look into syntropic and natural farming, for example.

Syntropic Farming:

- Concept: This approach is based on the principles of succession in natural ecosystems. It mimics natural processes to regenerate the land, creating a resilient system where various plant species support each other.

- Yield: Initial yields might be lower than industrial farming, but over time, as the ecosystem stabilizes and soil health improves, yields can be sustained without much external input.

- Advantages: Builds soil health, reduces the need for external inputs, enhances biodiversity, sequesters carbon, and can be more resilient to climatic fluctuations.

- Limitations: Requires deeper understanding and observation of natural processes, may not produce as high yields initially, and might require more labor in the beginning stages.

Natural Farming (or Do-Nothing Farming):

- Concept: Introduced by Masanobu Fukuoka, this method avoids plowing, chemical fertilizers, weeding, and pesticides. Instead, it promotes the use of cover crops and natural fertilizers.

- Yield: Yields can be comparable to conventional methods after the system stabilizes, but there might be fluctuations depending on environmental conditions.

- Advantages: Low external input, builds soil health, encourages biodiversity, reduces erosion, and is less labor-intensive in the long run.

- Limitations: There's a learning curve to understanding the balance of natural systems, initial yields might be lower, and it might not be suitable for all crop types or large-scale monocultures.

> Potatoes are similar: 60 bushels per acre in 1900, 500 bushels now.

Farming practices were less advanced, and there was a limited understanding of pest and disease management. The lack of resistant varieties meant that pests and diseases could cause substantial yield losses (potato blight for example).

> Do you think that hundreds of thousands of people working in agricultural research are idiots and/or bribed into silence by large companies

I believe we stopped developing new methods a long time ago, compromising biodiversity, soil, and human health. The entrenched belief that we need animal products for sustenance prevents us from exploring new, more sustainable methods. Furthermore, the current financial system does not accommodate experimentation, learning, and the adoption of sustainable practices.

We may destroy all remaining biodiversity before we find ways to achieve that on the necessary scale.

Python is already horribly slow. A little bit slower single thread programs shouldn't be a problem. But the inability to run multi-threaded programs effectively in this day and age is very much a problem.

A book about C isn't a comprehensive guide to every C implementation.
The more important detail is which "standard C" recognises inline asm as a common as dirt C extension.

Page 514 (of version n1256) of the ISO C Standard

Moving target, to be, sure, but it's been there for 20+ years now.

Annex J.5.10 The asm keyword

to quote a stack overflow answer (that sounds a lot like an answer commonly given back in the day on Usenet and #C IRC channels)

informative, not normative, so an implementation need not provide inline assembly, and if it does it's not prescribed in which form. But it's a widespread extension, though not portable since compilers do indeed implement it differently.

Astro is my personal favorite: https://astro.build/

It's like an SSG where you can write templates with modern components frameworks, and write content in MD / MDX. No JS is shipped by default, but you can opt in to it for interactivity.

There are many high-quality templates, but making your own custom styling and layouts is easy, and you can write CSS in whatever way you like.

MkDocs and Jekyll are more for docs in my opinion, but Hugo is pretty good if you hate javascript.

I would recommend Astro over 11ty 100% of the time, though. Both are JS, with slower build times etc than with Hugo, but Astro integrates better with the rest of the ecosystem.

It’s not true at all, and I think you have to take a bit of distance with glorifying IT personalities.

Like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Stallman, and many others (especially in the VC world) it’s important to take them with a grain of salt, and not accept them as perfect nice guys because they have money (Musk) or influence (Stallman).

Otherwise they can spread dangerous ideas that normally should 100% be challenged, but that are not, due to blind acceptance.
"So it's not a generic data structure, then."

In generic C++ code, you can specialize a part of the generic algorithm to tune it to a particular use case. Usually it takes the form of a small class template which can be specialized for a particular type and is used by the generic algorithm operating on that type. This class template is called trait, policy or strategy depending on the way it is used.

"qsort and std::sort do completely different things. Comparing them is absurd. qsort takes the size and comparison operator at runtime. std::sort requires them to be specified at compile times."

Not at all, you can pass a function pointer to std::sort just as well if you need to [0]. Most of the time you don't need this indirection but in C you are stuck with it unless you copy-paste-edit qsort.

One of our teams rewrote their legacy cloud product in an interesting way. Instead of gradually replacing components of the existing product, they forked it, rewrote most stuff from scratch in a different branch using a different stack (different UI/UX also) and called it version 2.0. The old version was still maintained (bugfixes, tech support etc.) but they stopped selling it. Instead, they started selling version 2.0 (new clients were unaware of the difference). Version 2.0 did not have full feature parity with version 1.0 at the start because it would take years to reimplement everything. What they did was gradually migrate clients from 1.0 and 2.0. Most clients did not need all the features so they were OK with version 2.0. Those clients who refused, stayed on version 1.0 for a few years. Then the team was slowly adding more and more features to 2.0 for the next few years, and more and more clients were willing to migrate, and this year the last client migrated to version 2.0. It took 4 years overall. The new version was designed to be more stable, more scalable and more maintainable, so it's a net win in the end. Also, since it was basically a new product, they were able to experiment with new ideas without the constraints of the old product.
> compiler-writers think UB is

The current standard is _very_ explicit that undefined behavior is indeed undefined, i.e. "do whatever you want".

> pretend it isn't UB, do it anyway, consequences be damned.

This explicitly isn't a requirement, but even if it were, "ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results" can be interpreted in numerous ways. One of these ways is "ignoring any cases in which UB is encountered" which is exactly what compilers are doing. Then again, saying "the compiler didn't ignore the situation and as a consequence I got results I didn't predict" isn't a strong argument when the standard specifically told you that you will get unpredictable results.
It may not prove a MONDian theory (to be clear, MOND is a set of theories), but it could disprove GR. Which is to say that it's just as likely that there's some third theory that nobody has figure out yet.

Every time I want to track some news source (or software release list) and that source offers no RSS/Atom feed, I add that missing feed myself.

For example, I wrote a feed generator that targets a specific software package release page. It scrapes the page and converts it to an Atom feed [1]. I then wrote a matching systemd service, which triggers the scraper once a day [2] and writes it to a file, no hosting required. My RSS reader is pointed to that file.

As far as I know, there have been several other studies of wide binaries recently and they did not find this effect.

This paper claims they have filtered out more problematic data and used more data. I think more data will become available over the next few years too.

So it's an interesting result that should be taken seriously, but we should wait for more studies before concluding relativity needs modification, IMHO.

I'm not sure why this upsets you as much as it does. For me the 'common' languages in use were various flavors of BASIC, COBOL, various flavors of Assembly and C in that order and those were doing a lot of work compared to the rest of the large number of languages that was technically available. I personally liked and worked with many more but they weren't exactly in mainstream use even though you could get them if you wanted to.

It's a bit like me saying that today Erlang is widely adopted. Yes it is, in some circles and I absolutely love it. But even though it has some adoption the big heavy lifters today are Python, C++, C and Java. Maybe C# on account of MS and probably Javascript should rate a mention. That doesn't mean that the other 2500 or so computer programming languages do not exist or do not have relevance. But it is a realistic reflection of market share. At the computer store where I occasionally worked you could see this reflected in the requests for boxed copies of compilers and interpreters for various languages.

FoxPRO + Delphi became a very powerful combination for SME administrative systems (and before that DBIII) and once Apple launched Objective-C that got some significant market share on their platform too. But any kind of commercially developed software outside of those niches was likely to be built on the list above.

I've taken a great interest in various programming languages and learned a lot of them to the point that I could write code in them to compare them, so I'm well aware all of these (and many more!) existed. The machines I worked with were: Dragon32, BBC Micro, Acorn Atom, Apple II, C64 (though, mostly from a hardware point of view, to fix them), Atari ST (lots of work on that one), IBM PC, some mainframes (notably: IBM 4381, Sperry 1100/90) and probably others that I don't remember right now.

Some of those only had proprietary languages and compilers on them, and on some things were more free. If there was a language on any of those systems that made it large enough to rate an article in the magazines you mentioned I probably played with it. But across all of the people that I worked with at the time I've met exactly one person the programmed in Pascal and they abandoned the project because it was dog slow (it got ported to assembly...) and Modula-2 or Oberon I've never come across in the wild other than with my own experiments.

BASIC, COBOL, Assembly and C were the languages that I recall being in mainstream use. That does not invalidate your experience, it may simply not match mine.

> I don’t see anything about encryption.

Many prefer to deal with encryption separately, encrypting the volumes being backed up to rather than relying on the backup system to manage that.

Of course this adds a consideration to your system: how to backup your encryption keys, and use them to remount the volumes when needed, in a way that does not render the whole thing pointless by accidentally exposing your keys to the wild. Then again, the encryption included in many backup systems has these issues for you to resolve too.
