When #Mozilla created their new logo with :// in it, the team behind reached out to me and asked if I had any objections since #curl already was using :// in our logo.
I did not object - I approved of it. I think it validated our logo choice and I am jealous they have a name that can hold :// integrated the way they do.
Out of the several hundred persons who saw my two talks during the #FOSDEM weekend. One(!) has provided feedback using the site. On the bad mike/speaker setup.
My point is mostly to fellow speakers: don't assume people will use that system to say anything. Good or bad.,
I had maybe 20 people tell me to my face they liked one or both of my talks. A better feedback channel!
In the #curl project, being written in C, we always work on simplifying the code. One way is to use more internal helper functions and avoid direct use of some functions that are often involved in C mistakes/vulnerabilities.
To measure how this develops, we count number of these function calls used per every thousand lines of code. Over time.
In a graph.
@peturdainn make sure you replace all cracked plastic nearby. The plastic is essential to prevent flex in the metal parts, and flex means metal fatigue which means more repairs in six months.
Daughter has tech lessons at school but I sure wish the teacher would know something about it. Came home with a schematic that connects a solar panel to a battery to charge it.
Wrote a note to please not actually try that unless in the open and with plenty of room in case of explosion.
Hope that will get her worried enough.
