Is C89 really a good choice for portability? It has the widest compiler support on one hand but lacks compatibility features like wchar, threads and fixed width integers on the other?

Youtube-dl is a legitimate tool with a world of a lawful uses. Demanding its removal from Github is a disappointing and counterproductive move by the RIAA. https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2020/10/2020-10-23-RIAA.md

Already excited for a probably better valgrind as well as a better amdgpu driver! #68HYPE

I just felt in love with tcc! No longer the accidental use of GNU C or C99 extensions 😌

Still happy with BSD jails

Please review and test!
Especially reviewing the first commit is very very important. Also anyone who uses curl regularly can do this. No C knowledge required!

curl's --help is targeted to get a huge overhaul,. See @emilengler's PR https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/5680 that's getting really close to landing.

Maybe it'll feel a little less intimidating in the future?

I like the feeling when my mouse is hot because the sun shined all the day on it.

Are there mouses with built-in heaters?

Someone knows a quick start to GNU autotools? I don't have the time to read the entire manual
