  The most stupid C bug ever

I have been programming for a number of years already. I have seen others introduce bugs, and I have also introduced (and solved!) many bugs while coding. Off-by-one, buffer-overflow, treating pointers as pointees, different behaviors or the same function (this is specially true for cross-platform applications), race conditions, deadlocks, threading issues. I think I have seen quite a few of the typical issues. Yet recently I lost a lot of time to what I would call the most stupid C bug in my ca...

  IDC lists top 6 myths, realities about open source

Every software has its own purposes and users: a device driver serves the specified hardware, whilst a SMS gateway helps...

  That “JavaScript not available” case

During some interesting discussions on Twitter yesterday I found that there is now more than ever a confusion about JavaScript dependence in web applications and web sites. This is a never ending story but it seems to me to flare up ever time our browsing technology leaps forward. I encountered this for the first time back in the days of DHTML. We pushed browsers to their limits with our lovely animated menus and 3D logos (something we of course learned not to do again, right?) and we were ...

  Screen recording in Windows 10

Have you ever wondered how to take screen recording easily on Windows? Normally you would think to download some software online and install it on your machine such as Camtasia. However, many of them are either non-free or uneasy to use. Fortunately, there is a built-in tool provided in Windows 10 which can be used to take simple screen recording plus audio recording. The tool is called the Game Bar which is primarily intended for gamers to take screenshots of their plays and achievements. Don't...
