Slight glitch, no http://landley.net/notes-2016.html#10-07-2016 it
seems to stop at 2016-06-29

And the wonderful hassle of standards continues http://xkcd.com/927/,
recall that K&R which was I believe first and for a long time the
definitive book stated that pointers could always fit in a "int", it
seemed to take forever to get stdint.h where you could get a int8_t
without your own header...
of course that is only needed for files or protocols shared with other
computers ;)
I am feeling old, I remember the joy of upgrading to ANSI C (C89) ~27 years ago
What will be next... long long being int128_t?
