Second edition of the book, which was sometime a de facto documentation of The C Programming Language, was published when the ANSI C became a thing and guides the reader through the way of learning C, a high-level programming language which allows you to shoot you foot!

It is a great way to understand how programs work under the hood and to get closer to Computer Architecture and Assembly. Although many years have passed since publication, this book still gives a good overview of most concepts of C and thus is an excellent starting point. The language is still widely used to develop critical low-level stuff such as operating systems and drivers

Ok so I forgot to initialize and use git repo for our Data Structure project, here it is now (still kinda WIP, but works). Feel free to make pull requests but tell us what you are working on BEFORE starting so that we will not waste double+ the time required

What? You use empty lines in your code? That’s highly illegal, I’m calling cops NOW!

In November 3 — 5 there will also happen Ubuntu Summit in Riga to which y'all must come. Seems like they will also give you some free T-shirts as "a small token of appreciation" so there's no way you can miss this event

Keep in mind that there are not so many places left so submit your registration form asap. It will also be reviewed manually so don't write some random shit please. Ubuntu One account is required to apply

Linux kernel 6.6.6 was released today

In this book Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, helps you get to know the language in a friendly way. Whether you're new to programming or know a bit already, this book explains the important stuff about modern C++ in an easy-to-understand way. You'll learn the cool features and tricks that make C++ a great tool for developers, and by the end, you'll feel more confident and ready to write your own C++ programs

This tour assumes the reader already knows some other programming language (such as C, for example) because it explains the C++ language itself rather than programming in C++. It is also not an exhaustive reference or manual — the purpose of the book is only to show the key aspects of C++ and help in getting started with it

You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML. As I have answered in HTML-and-regex questions here so many times before, the use of regex will not allow you to consume HTML. Regular expressions are a tool that is insufficiently sophisticated to understand the constructs employed by HTML. HTML is not a regular language and hence cannot be parsed by regular expressions. Regex queries are not equipped to break down HTML into its meaningful parts. so many times but it is not getting to me. Even enhanced irregular regular expressions as used by Perl are not up to the task of parsing HTML. You will never make me crack. HTML is a language of sufficient complexity that it cannot be parsed by regular expressions. Even Jon Skeet cannot parse HTML using regular expressions. Every time you attempt to parse HTML with regular expressions, the unholy child weeps the blood of virgins, and Russian hackers pwn your webapp. Parsing HTML with regex summons tainted souls into the realm of the living. HTML and regex go together like love, marriage, and ritual infanticide. The <center> cannot hold it is too late. The force of regex and HTML together in the same conceptual space will destroy your mind like so much watery putty. If you parse HTML with regex you are giving in to Them and their blasphemous ways which doom us all to inhuman toil for the One whose Name cannot be expressed in the Basic Multilingual Plane, he comes. HTML-plus-regexp will liquify the n erves of the sentient whilst you observe, your psyche withering in the onslaught of horror.
