Making a StringBuffer in C, and questioning my sanity

I've been writing a lot of C. Whilst doing so I have been questioning my sanity. Am I an awful programmer? You know what, I think I might be. Kudos to all those devs that created monumental feats with C. Because it is not an easy tool to use.

Ancient Rocks in Canada Are Almost as Old as the Earth Itself

Due to the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, our planet’s crust is constantly recycled, making rocks and minerals from its earliest days incredibly rare. That’s frustrating for geologists, since surface-level Hadean rocks (rocks older than 4.03 billion years) could provide significant insight into the first geological stages of Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history. In a study published today in Early Earth, researchers from Canada and France suggest that the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt (NGB)—a

Funniest Memes From WWDC: What Even Was Happening With That Final Song?

Apple's World Wide Developers Conference, WWDC 2025, took place on Monday and featured a wide variety of reveals from Apple, captured in our live blog of the event. But aside from news about the company's naming changes and design overhauls, there are always moments that get just a little bit weird. How many times can company representatives say the words "Liquid Glass"? Did you expect it to end with a singer crooning app reviews to music, and meowing? Viewers didn't even wait until the 90-minu

Emulating an iPhone in QEMU (Part 2)

What's the plan? At the end of our previous blog post, we got PreBoard to show its UI. But we had no idea if getting SpringBoard to work would even be possible, since we didn’t have SEP emulation. Still, we wanted to see how far we could get without it. Before SpringBoard could show anything, we had plenty of issues to fix. Although the backboardd and SpringBoard processes were starting and stable, they were stuck in different places. Our strategy was to go through system logs, find suspiciou
