Do you want alice@cucumbers.pizza? Or do you want alice@witches.bike?

I agree, it's hard to choose from so many awesome domains.

I've been waiting for a book on C from No Starch Press, so I'm really excited for this one.

This might not be too deep a question on the C language in regards to this book, but I've been wondering, why did you decide to have an eldritch horror as the book's cover?

Reminds me of a blog post of mine[1].

Funny that I say C is not a subset, while this says C++ not a superset.

But mine doesn't go too deep, don't reference any standards.

I love things that explore dark corners of languages like this, look forward to digging deeper.

Also, I like the web design, kinda cyberpunk.

Someone else just suggested this too, thank you. I try to just go with official plugins, don't want to invest time looking into some random person's plugin. But this one looks legit, and recommended.

Used to just use a plain text file, but that's become untenable.

Going to really start using pinboard.in

Have been bookmarking in Firefox, which is great for syncing between devices. But I got so many even that's seeming slow and hard to search through (but to be fair maybe I'll have the same problems with pinboard once I get to that many.)

Had an account for a while, just now really starting using it. How do you use it with Android and Firefox? The official plugin says it doesn't work with Firefox Quantum.

The book "Expert C Programming" also says stick with signed, use unsigned for bitfields or binary masks. This post says unsigned for bitwise or modulo, so basically unsigned when expecting the value to be bits in a machine instead of a number.

One place I worked, they installed a program that reminded people every few minutes to take breaks and have good posture.

The longer you worked, it showed a different color for how fatigued you were. Taking regular breaks kept you at green, constantly typing made it go toward red.

I found that the program displayed the colors by just displaying different picture files of just that color. I changed those files to pictures of your character from Doom as he takes more damage. The longer I typed without a break, the bloodier the guys face got.

Oh, as for your question, no it didn't work. I just saw it as a distraction so removed the program (which I wasn't supposed to be able to do.)

Cleveland Whiskey says they do something like use pressure to force it through the wood I think, where this says he, "forces the creation of the same key chemical compounds."

If those in the end mean the same thing, I don't know.

Friends snobbier than me say it's ok but not at the price it was originally going at, but I liked it.

I wanted to learn JavaScript, so I made a few small programs.
