That’s why I keep my Arch Linux ISO up to date, according to my qbittorrent stats thats one of my most popular seeds so it helps the ratio out. Plus it’s really useful to have as a rescue system for when I nuke my machine 🙃

20:1 is crazy! Maybe I’m just interested in niche stuff, but I struggle to keep mine in the 1:1-2:1 range :(

Thanks for sharing the article! I don’t know whether it’s possible to edit the title, but if it is, consider changing each use of “e.g.” (exempli gratia) to “i.e.” (id est) or “read:” (expression meaning the message that you believe should be read from between the lines) as I believe these changes might better communicate your intent. Thanks for adding the clarifying commentary to the headline though, it’s certainly more eye-catching and to the point than the publishers un-annotated version!

(This whole comment is assuming that these are your additions and not simply an earlier version of the headline. The version I saw through the link didn’t have them so I assumed they’re yours but they could’ve been removed by the publisher for the same reasons I suggested editing your title - if possible and you agree with my suggestions)

It gave me a smile :)

The default answer to everyone who has ever asked this question (including me last year) is to read K&R C, the 2nd edition of the original book published by C’s inventor.

I wouldn’t recommend powering from start to end like a normal book, I wouldn’t even recommend a hard copy, but it’s a comprehensive reference and the appendeces etc are good. I haven’t read much of it at all tbh but it’s nice to have. It’s still being sold but you can get it from a tonne of libraries etc. I got a pdf from a “friend”.

Otherwise, I recommend watching and following along with Free Code Camp’s several hour C tutorial. Their editor of choice is so outdated I was’t able to install a working copy, but using JetBrains Clion or VS Code or Visual Studio etc etc are all good replacements.

I’m still new to C so hopefully someone will come along who’s been doing it since the 1900’s.

The Malloc and Nick Barker YouTube channels also have some excellent C videos that you might like.

It was just for a pico second, but I ate the headline XD

Don’t call me put like this just after I wake up!

At least we’ve got some of them speaking in our accent now after Bluey
