I would use the language I know the best which provide a library that handles .dot files (Graphviz?) and I would check if the library has an internal data structure for the graphs.

I guess it would be adjacency matrice or adjacency lists.

Thank you for the article. Opaque struct is an interesting subject for people who want to go deeper into their understanding of C.

If I could add/emphasis two points to the article:

• FILE is a famous example of struct using this trick. So, even if yon don’t often need to develop an opaque struct in C, you certainly use such struct daily without knowing.

• you can’t declare a variable with an opaque type (because the compiler would need to know its size). Everything must be handled through pointers, and the library has to provide functions to allocate/destroy the struct, like fopen() and fclose() for FILE.

I don’t have personal social media, for several reasons:

• as a teacher, I want to limit what my students know about my private life.

• as a public servant in France, I could be sued for criticizing the President and his government (I’m far left and union).

• generally speaking, I like that my circles of colleagues, friends, family have no intersection.

According to the French Constitution, the President cannot serve more than 2 consecutive terms. Macron was elected in 2017 and relected in 2022 (against the far-right candidate) so he can’t be candidate in 2027.

Before 2027, there won’t be any meaningful national election in France (European congress in 2024 and municipal elections in 2026).

Also, Macron hasn’t the absolute majority at the French national assembly, but there are tools in the Constitution which allow the government to pass laws without a vote. And the opposition is not strong enough to dismiss the government.

Not everyone is on twitter, but lots (all?) of Content Management Systems and blogs have a RSS feed.

As an academic, I’m syndicated to several labs and research groups which have their own websites, but don’t care about being visible on Twitter.

It’s not a question of age, but of culture. Video game are no longer niche stuff for a handful of nerds. It’s a huge industry, like music or cinema.

People who say that games are childish are just trying to hide their ignorance.

Because the popularity of each sport depends on the country, whereas video games are a global market.

I guess this makes the development of sport simulations more difficult to make profit.

Still using Comic Mono, I really like it.

I’d just like to slightly increase the letter spacing. Some portions of code felt a bit too dense. Maybe I’ll try to tweak that after my vacation (as of today, 8 days without a computer)

Thank you for all these informations, and for the links.

I’m not a lawer, but the laws seems to have several exceptions which could be used by an authoritarian government. They just have to call their opponents violent or terrorists

Oh ! Thank you, I didn’t realized there was so many kind of laws !

Great news, but it’s only a first step. European political system is quite complex. Correct me if I’m wrong but the law has only been voted by the European Parliament, and now it has to be ratified by each country.

Personnal opinion: I don’t see the french government ratifying a text which would limits their authoritarian drift.

For C/C++ and make, I use geany and a terminal. Right now, out of curiosity for GitHub Copilot, I’m trying VSCode, but it’s a bit too much for my taste.

The only situation I would use a big IDE would be the development of a user interface for a Visual C++/Windows project or a Unity game. Hopefully, most of the time I don’t have to.

I tried that this morning at work, as a joke.

It was still there when I got off.
