+1 I enjoyed the writing style thoroughly. It made understanding the concepts super simple and fun to go through.

I agree. The "AI model" on the website takes that into account.

Aside to the discussion, can you point out a link to the changes you did? I'd like to get silver searcher faster as well on windows.

Re:Send to Dropbox: Email + Dropbox

I've used this in the past but came away disappointed as it regularly breaks over attachment sizes. I was using it to store my website backups in dropbox.
Instead of this, now I setup a simple python dropbox script on my webserver which allows me to do few good things:
1. No connecting to third party apps.
2. No need to go through email servers, I can directly store the backups to dropbox
3. I still added an email addon layer on it for other usage where I send the files to my own mail server and the script then puts them into dropbox.

True..I try to avoid volatiles as much as I can. And as someone else pointed out on the blog in the commens, many implementations even get the volatiles wrong giving rise to a lot of bugs, so even if you were utmost careful about it, it can still cause issues.

Volatile is one of the most misunderstood component in C history. Let’s separate out the myths and the facts first and then we will discuss the how’s and why’s of it.
Re:Portable Code: How To Check If A Machine Is 32 Bit Or 64 Bit

Yes, using portable data types is much easier. But I thought about this when we had to make our code work with some legacy code (which we couldn't change) and the outputs were in non-portable data types.
Portable Code: How To Check If A Machine Is 32 Bit Or 64 Bit
Writing portable code is very important but it is one of the aspects that most people neglect until it is too late to realize its importance. Till few years ago, most people writing code for personal computers were not worried about the data sizes on their machines. They didn’t even think whether the machines, on which their code would be running, would be 32 bit or 64 bit.
