How some developers react when you talk about accessibility is depressing. Its treated as an unimportant sidequest.

I hate to say, Ive only just started learning about accessibility guidelines. But damn, Im determined to implement them into everything I do now, Including the #FOSS project I'm working on.

I spoke with a maintainer about adding an accessibility feature to their project. They said theyd merge it but only if it was optional? 😫 We can and must do better #disability #programming 1/

Is it bad form to contact HR of the company thats interviewing you if you didnt get a response? They promised us theyd try and get back to us on Monday but didnt.

I made it to the final round of interviews. They said they'd let us know. I emailed them on Wednesday but still nothing.

Would it be bad to contact HR to see if they can give me any updates? #Programming #coding #jobs

Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment

Tool Tip: ed(1) is the standard text editor

As part of our discussion of unix development tools, we take a short detour to provide a quick walkthrough of ed(1), the standard text editor. This is not done merely to up your geek creds, but understanding ed(1) will also helps us better understand other tools like vi(1), sed(1), and ultimately even things like diff(1) and patch(1) better.

Week 6: Memory Layout of a Process

Let's talk about the details of a process. We start with a visual representation of a process in memory and create a program that prints out the addresses of different elements of a program and observe the alignment of the text, data, and bss segments as well as the placement of the heap and stack. We also illustrate what a stack overflow looks like.

Week 5: Using gdb(1), part IV

In our last segment on gdb(1), we use the debugger to examine memory locations in a running program and illustrate how pointers and arrays work in the C programming language.

Week 5: Using gdb(1), part III

In this video lecture, we'll use our newly learned debugging skills to analyze and fix yet another flawed program. In the process, we learn to debug code from multiple source files and find out how to change the value of variables while the program is running.

Week 5: Using gdb(1), part II

In this video lecture, we continue to explore the capabilities of the debugger. We show how you can set a breakpoint to pause the program and how to step through the program while watching our code.

Week 5: Using gdb(1)

Alright, let's look at gdb(1)! We begin by using it to troubleshoot our failing programs and immediately identify the location of our program where it segfaults. We also see how to inspect variables and call functions from within the debugger.
