Eleven years ago, the only long-lived #libcurl fork I am aware of was made: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2013/10/27…
It existed for several years, but it seems to be completely gone now.

decomplexifying #curl
daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/10/27…
(I wrote about this topic in my weekly email this week. This is the blog version, somewhat extended.) Easy to read Two contributing factors that make code hard to read are function length and function complexity.daniel.haxx.se
I'm sure you're aware of the caveats but using function length may not be the best metric to measure complexity. What I'm about to write is therefore likely nothing new to you but I'm doing it nevertheless because there are many voices in the software engineering space that apply a naive law of "long function bad, short function good".
While splitting a function into smaller parts may improve readability to some degree, it rarely decreases the mental capacity needed to understand it. I'd argue that it's quite often even the opposite if the code is well-structured:
Blocks can be used efficiently to mimic a function that is specific to a use case, relatively short and not reusable. A separate function would introduce overhead in form of its signature and disruption of the reader's flow because its location is elsewhere in the code. The block can easily be shoved into a function when it becomes larger or when it can be re-used.
As a general rule of thumb, I agree, I think.
When it comes to reducing complexity, what I'd want is to keep mental capacity needed in an acceptable range. In that regard, I'd e.g. value minimising the amount, scope and lifetime of variables within a function over function length. These metrics are likely much harder to provide but maybe they would be a neat addition next to the cyclomatic complexity.
Je to absurdní, ale Evropa se nemůže zbavit závislosti na ruském zemním plynu.
Paradoxně tak Evropa financuje obě strany konfliktu.
Nejde jen o tranzit přes Ukrajinu, ale i ruský LNG, který dováží čím dál více evropských zemí. Například Španělsko pokrývá 23 % svých dovozů plynu z Ruska.

Mohl by na Marsu existovat život? Studie NASA nabízí možnosti
sciencemag.cz/mohl-by-na-marsu…
Výzkumníci se domnívají, že by roztátá voda pod krustou marsovského ledu mohla podporovat mikrobiální život. Hned na začátek je ale nutné připomenout, že zatím nemáme k dispozici žádné důkazy o tom, že by na Marsu byl skutečně objeven život. Ovšem nová studie expertů NASA zmiňuje možnost, že by potenciální mikroorganismy mohly najít vhodné podmínky téměř na povrchu planety.

#Gruzie 🇬🇪🙏🏻💚
zažila volby a opozice ma koaliční většinu. Gruzínský sen společnými silami poražen a s ním končí éra 12 let pro-ruské vlády.
EDIT:
Oficiálně je sečteno 99.646%
Vítězí stávající autoritářská vláda 54%
Exit poolls ve vládě jednoho prostě nefungují 😔
Gruzie čekají těžké časy od odstraňování opozice až po opětovné zavedení vízové povinnosti do EU a USA.
Držím palce, snad se podvody podaří prokázat 💪🏻✊🏻🤞🏻
PS Omlouvám se těm co jsem mistifikoval exit poollem.

So in A Herbivorous Dragon of 5000 Years Gets Unfairly Villainized season 2, the Crunchy English subs make it seem like King Vanessa being a girl is a reveal in ep4, because in ep2, she's referred to as "he".
This is odd since nobody acts like it's a reveal, & her name is "Vanessa". So I looked further b/c Chinese has no spoken gendered pronoun (there is "he" & "she" in text but in speech, it's the same word). The Bilibili Chinese subs say "she" (她), so do their English subs. It's only Crunchy that made the assumption the King is a boy.
I suspect the CR translator was working from just the raw, & without text they had to make an assumption, & they heard "king" & saw somebody who could be a feminine boy & assumed male.
#AHerbivorousDragonOf5000YearsGetsUnfairlyVillainized #anime #donghua
the reason we suspect it's a translator error and not Crunchy using AI translation or something is because in episode 4, a character definitively genders Vanessa, calling her "my sister". That's the first time it's made directly clear. (The character referred to an off screen sister in previous episodes but not that that was Vanessa). And then the Crunchy subs start referring to her using female pronouns. So that's likely when the translator realized the gender of the character.
Crunchy notoriously overworks and underpays their translators so it's likely they don't have time to think too much about these things because of how fast they're pushed to translate stuff, and they're doing it as they get the episodes.
incidentally I really hate how online western anime fandom treats Chinese anime/donghua. There's like constant hate on subsplease and other places on animation that has Chinese audio, and they complain about it being a "dub" even though that's the original language, and then they say they'll wait for the "real Japanese" even tho the JAPANESE IS THE DUB. There's also all the weebs who complain that Chinese sounds worse & is less "real" sounding than the Japanese dialogue and like, most of you can speak NEITHER LANGUAGE, shut the f- up.
And of course Wikipedia often only lists the Japanese VAs for a lot of Chinese anime, and it's so hard to find what the OP of a show is b/c all sites in search results list the Japanese OPs as the only OPs for the show -_-
I sincerely regret to see Linux kernel patches like this one removing Russian developers from the MAINTAINERS file. To me, it is a sign or maybe even a symbol of how far the Linux kernel developer coLaForge's home page

Yes that’s entirely fair, it would not have taken much to state:
“We are removing these names from the maintainers list because of US sanctions enforcement. No, this is not optional, at a penalty of personal criminal liability but I Linus Torvalds would not challenge this removal even if I could”
(Which was i think the gist of the statements that came out later)
“Simply do not break a glass, and it will last a thousand years. Smash it, and it will not last an instant. Democracy is like that: fragile, but only if you shatter it.”
“Trust is like that, too, as newspapers know.”

Matt Mullenweg is making an absolutely spurious legal claim to silence his critics. Because of the fair report privilege, "platforming the claims in the lawsuits" is on rock solid ground.

Wie gesagt, ich muss mich mal in den Code reinlesen, was da wie implementiert ist. Irgendwo muss die Suche ja programmiert sein, läuft dann vermutlich via php? Könnte man auf der Ebene ggf. auch optimieren, dauert nur länger, bin ich nicht so der Pro drin.
Aber das können wir ja irgendwann mal in Ruhe besprechen, wenn es dir passt. War ja nicht der Sinn der Sache, dass du jetzt mehr Arbeit damit hast, v.a. wenn du eigentlich gar nicht die Zeit dafür hast.
