I created a lightweight shell script to check many url combinations on a site for feeds.

The combinations came from what I observed in the big list of blogs I follow. The script works pretty well for most sites.

> DDD is still maintained?

Absolutely. I wrote about its features here https://begriffs.com/posts/2022-07-17-debugging-gdb-ddd.html

Since the article was written, the maintainers fixed the issues I pointed out. No need for many of those workarounds now. Versions 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 are substantial.

I see CMSIS definitions for the RP2040 at https://github.com/raspberrypi/CMSIS-RP2xxx-DFP but none for RP2350. Maybe they'll eventually appear in that repo, given its name is RP2xxx? I thought vendors are legally obligated to provide CMSIS definitions when they license an ARM core.

I want to learn more about linkers and loaders. Can someone tell me if this is still relevant today? Any other books that are more recent?

begriffs · 2 years ago

I have a hard-copy of this book, and it seems like the PDF isn't the final version, judging by the hand drawn illustrations at least.

The book does dive into some old and arcane object file formats, but that's interesting in its own way. Nice to get a comparison of how different systems did things.

After reading that book and other sources, I examined how people typically create libraries in the UNIX/Linux world. Some of the common practices seem to be lacking, so I wrote an article about how they might be improved: https://begriffs.com/posts/2021-07-04-shared-libraries.html

Edit: That covers the dynamic linking side of things at least.

You don't need the "secret" feed link.

You can visit a channel's page directly, and copy the normal URL straight into your feed reader. It will do the right thing - thanks to the <link> tag, which YouTube advertises in the page source - as recommended by TFA. Your feed reader already knows what to do ;)

Interesting, maybe it depends on the reader. I tried a channel just now in newsboat and it wasn't smart enough to find the feed, even though I see the page contains

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="...">

RSS is still only sane way to subscribe to youtube channel, or rather only way that YT managed to not break over the years

begriffs · 3 years ago

Oh yeah, gotta love the secret feed link.

I follow a number of channels this way. I'm grateful and sort of surprised YouTube hasn't killed it off.

I still follow many RSS feeds (about 250). Sometimes it's hard to find the feed on a site, because the feeds aren't always advertised and their URLs can be tricky. Based on the URLs I've seen, I created a simple script to check if a site has a feed:

I've been meaning to give Motif a try for cross-platform C GUIs. Can anyone share their perspective with that, and compare with IUP?

I'd be ok with an "Amish" inspired web development movement. Traditional HTML backed by CGI-BIN served by Apache on a Linux or BSD server would be great.
