The Forest Road Reader, No 62

Email from my Mum. In full, it reads Saw grey whales. sea otter (gorgeous) sea lions, seals - missed out on the humpbacks and orcas. Have also seen bald eagles (lots) and black bears with cubs, AWESOME! xxx.

Dennis Richie's C compiler. I particularly like the start of this source file even though I have no idea why's there or what it's for.

Tonight's The Bottom Line was about Appreneurs. That's what we call people who write software for phones, apparently. While I couldn't give it my full attention - I was chopping a cabbage - I found it very interesting. Disagreed with quite a lot of it, too. I must, as Evan urges a couple of times during the show, listen again. Perhaps on my phone.

GCC 4.8.1 released, C++11 feature complete, with Clang 3.3 to follow soon.

The Adventure Game. Still marvellous.
