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

I like how Cthulhu is shown as kind of a guide for the robot.

The C==Sea brings to mind the book Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets.

Re:Tell HN: C Experts Panel – Ask us anything about C on Tuesday April 14, 2020 @09:21AM (#22865560)
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?

Re:C++ is not a superset of C on Tuesday September 03, 2019 @04:14PM (#20870705)
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.

Re:Ask HN: Where do you store bookmarks? on Friday April 20, 2018 @11:59AM (#16885871)
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.
Re:Ask HN: Where do you store bookmarks? on Friday April 20, 2018 @11:54AM (#16885830)
Thank you. I try to go with official plugins, because who knows about all those similar named plugins made by random people. But this one looks legit.
Re:Ask HN: Where do you store bookmarks? on Friday April 20, 2018 @11:48AM (#16885770)
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.)

Re:Ask HN: Where do you store bookmarks? on Friday April 20, 2018 @11:43AM (#16885722)
How do you integrate with Firefox? Their plugin says it doesn't work with Firefox Quantum. (Or is that one not worth mentioning? ;)
Re:Ask HN: Where do you store bookmarks? on Friday April 20, 2018 @11:41AM (#16885696)
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.
No, I have not read that yet. Thanks! Appropriate read for Dennis Ritchie Day https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/dennis-ritchie-day
Re:The Clockwise/Spiral Rule of C declarations on Monday October 24, 2016 @09:31AM (#12778563)
Or, as the book Expert C Programming says, declarations in C are read boustrophedonically.

Oh, I saw the black bar and wondered, didn't make the connection it was for someone that died.
Re:Should I Use Signed or Unsigned Ints? (Part 2) on Tuesday September 01, 2015 @08:42PM (#10156782)
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.
Re:Posture for a Healthy Back on Tuesday August 25, 2015 @10:40AM (#10116810)
That is an incorrect lifting position because that guy's huge chin makes him top-heavy, he'll just fall over the box.
Re:Posture for a Healthy Back on Tuesday August 25, 2015 @10:37AM (#10116780)
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.)

Re:Man Says He Can Make 20-Year-Old Rum in 6 Days on Monday April 13, 2015 @08:50PM (#9371442)
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.
