37signals recently launched public “Uptime Reports” for their applications (announcement). The reaction on Hacker News was rather tepid, but I think it’s a positive development, and I applaud 37signals for stepping forward.

Check following code: #include #include #include int print_thread(void *s) { thrd_detach(thrd_current()); for (size_t i = 0; i < 5; i++) { sleep(1); printf("i=%zu\n", i); } thrd_exit(0); } int main(void) { ...

  Notes on Programming in C

Introduction       Kernighan and Plauger's The Elements of Programming Style was an important and rightly influential book.  But sometimes I feel its concise rules were taken as a cookbook approach to good style instead of the succinct expression of a philosophy they were meant to be.  If the book claims that variable names should be chosen meaningfully, doesn't it then follow that variables whose names are small essays on their use are even better?  Isn't MaximumV...
