schestowitz__[TR]                                        <p>The C and C++ languages offer little protection against programmer errors. Errors do not always show up where you expect. You can silently corrupt the content of your memory. It can make bugs difficult to track. To solve this problem, I am a big fan of programming in C and C++ using sanitizers. They slow your program, but the check that memory accesses are safe, for example.</p>Aug 28 13:18

schestowitz__[TR]                                    <blockquote>Aug 28 13:22
schestowitz__[TR]                                        <p>In previous blog posts there was some talk about implementing a simple system that generates books (both PDF and ebook) from plain text input files. The main question for that is what the input format should be. Currently there are basically two established formats: LaTeX and Markdown. The former is especially good if the book has a lot of figures, cross references, indexes and all that. The latter is Aug 28 13:22
schestowitz__[TR]commonly used in most modern web systems but it is more suitable to specifying text in the "web page" style as opposed to "split aesthetically over pages".</p>Aug 28 13:22
schestowitz__[TR]                                        <p>The obvious solution when faced with this issue is to design your own file format that fits your needs perfectly. I did not do that, but instead I did think about the issue and did some research and thinking. This is the outcome of that. It is not a finished product, you can think of instead as a grouping of unrelated things and design requirements that you'd need to deal with when creating such a Aug 28 13:22

schestowitz__[TR]                                                <p>When an application or library is packaged for a GNU/Linux distribution, a choice is made which GSS-API library to link with. I believe this leads to two problematic consequences: 1) it is difficult for end-users to chose between Kerberos implementation, and 2) dependency bloat for non-Kerberos users. Let’s discuss these separately.</p>Aug 28 13:40
