It is really not that much of an involved process. Reading a wiki page and downloading a few files from the first hit of a Google result is probably similar effort to setting up whatever potential product you have in mind.
Re:WinLibs: Standalone build of GCC and MinGW-w64 for Windows

It is really not that bad. Really the only problem is gcc. Clang/LLVM stuff works perfectly fine and if you really wanted you could use MSVC.

I've used Windows LTSC for a few years now and it is basically the exact opposite of what you are describing. No extra crap, just Windows. It never restarts randomly, and I've only had it have a restart update once.

I think relative time is good for things less than a week old, but anything other than that will use the full date. Discord's solution to it is really nice imo.

I mean I've been writing stuff in Python since I was 8 or 9 years old, I'm now writing a bunch of C code for an open source project. I wouldn't say I'm too good at the coding challenges though. I don't know know how those compare to real work.

come on, that is quite harsh. c is easily my favorite programming language and it just works really damn well and produces very small binaries. it's easy to write terrible code in any programming language.

Alpine on bare metal is amazing. I love it.
One of my favorite themes has a light grey for everything except strings (light blue) and comments (white). Comments are super important, they should stand out.

Re:Apple to put USB-C connectors in iPhones to comply with EU rules

IMO Lightning is significantly better than USB-C purely for feel. It's slightly smaller and clicks in very well. The only real issues with it are that its 1. proprietary, and 2. only supports USB 2.0 speeds. The fact that to use it you must buy a license is real unfortunate because I really like the form factor.

Yep, absolutely. A lot of game code has really big files. Although not exactly the gold standard for code style, the Source Engine does have a significant level of even though almost every file is 1k+ SLOC.
Here's the base Source Engine movement code for example: https://github.com/VSES/SourceEngine2007/blob/master/src_mai...
