A Guide to Undefined Behavior in C and C++
The execution of a program consists of simple steps such as adding two numbers or jumping to a label. If every step in the execution of a program has defined behavior, then the entire execution is well-defined. Note that even well-defined executions may not have a unique result due to unspecified and implementation-defined behavior; we’ll ignore both of these here.

Don't you love how C doesn't just have undefined behaviour, but also unspecified and implementation-defined behaviour, too?
don't you just love how simple and easy C is?
i'm looking at goreleaser and it's basically make, but in YAML, and for Go only.
and it has a Pro version
and it reminds me of all those other DevOps tools that tries to do the same damn thing over the past 12 odd years.
or, you know one of the 20 or so comercial Unices that was trying to distinguish itself thru special (incompatible) offerings.
Privacy, battle rhetoric
Mhm, with GDPR we won an important battle regarding privacy in Europe, but the overall war on privacy seems to be lost more and more these days. The current plans towards mass surveillance by the European Union is just the tip. The reform of E-commerce was successfully avoided. Exchange of biometric data is moving forward, Europol's data hoard that was supposed to be deleted was legalised after the fact. No big fines for big tech after 3 years.
This is not good.
Kudos to PM Rutte (@MinPres@twitter.com) for keeping his old phone for nearly a decade! But we stand with this @NRC@twitter.com reader who suggested a #Fairphone as a sustainable, long-lasting alternative that is proudly made in the NL and comes with expandable storage! 🌿 📱

Is there a general web front-end for viewing #ActivityPub outboxes (for viewing posts & boosts) for arbitrary #Fediverse accounts? Or do I have to make one myself?
Preferably front-end only (i.e. HTML & #JavaScript).

the joys of having a problem with firefox and feeling like reporting it imagining it's an easy fix,
but then going to the bug tracker and finding a years old forgotten ignored report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1667577

disappointing expectations since 1894
