It's just a journal style entry, its not bad that its boring, but its so bland. It will become LLM fodder I'm sure.
We all will. Ashes to ashes.

Then why not define "something" as static, which makes the compiler and linker guarantee that you can't do it?
What if I want to internally access it from multiple compilation units, but not necessarily encourage downstream users from using it? This is really common.

They don't allow embroidered company logos unless you're a B-corp or a non-profit, IIRC. If you see someone wearing tech swag with logos on Patagonia, it's either old gear or someone in their company is a major asshole.
So buying a shirt and having it embroidered elsewhere is assholery? Why should Patagonia have control of merchandise after they sell it?
Makes me want to have some Patagonia stuff altered on principle...

you can access it using extern from anywhere:
// a.c
int f( int x ) {
return x + 1;
}
// b.c
extern int f(int x );
int main() {
int y = f(41);
}
"private function" doesn't mean "you can't know about this", it means "you shouldn't rely on this as a stable interface to my code".
Just because you can use the information you have to call a given function, doesn't mean you aren't violating an interface.

Well its a day that ends in Y.
Github is down so often now, especially actions, I am not sure how so many companies are still relying on them.
Migration costs are a thing

Is it really that much better than alternatives to justify these constant outages?
No, but it has momentum left over from when it was much better. The Microsoft downslide will continue untill there's no one left

It also provides different opportunities for growth compared to other social media. A video that gets over half a million views on TikTok may not get 5 thousand on Youtube, or even 10 views on Instagram or Facebook.
Isn't the inverse true though? it's not as if nobody's watching youtube, it's just that different videos are popular there.

Must be nice. Claude and Codex are still a waste of my time in complex legacy codebases.
Brand new projects have a way of turning into legacy codebases

They'd put Widevine or PlayReady DRM on the website if they could, I'm sure.
why can't they?
