throws23577··on Beej’s Guide to C Programming [pdf]
Wow I never heard of Robert Seacord's 'effective C'. Thank you.

Edit: Here's a short rationale for the book by the author.

I haven't read these 2 books, but would like the opinion of someone who did.

[1] C Interfaces and Implementations: Techniques for Creating Reusable Software by David Hanson - HN's tptacek seemed to rave about this book, that's how I heard of it. Wonder what he thinks of it in 2021.

[2] C Programming: A Modern Approach by K. N. King - this one seems to be loved by many. Seems to be more 'beginner-friendly' than the 1st one I guess.

That's one of my dreams, floor to ceiling bookshelves filled with books. Can't you try 'Calibre' [1] instead of paid book scanning gear? It's GPL.

Is it possible to download free apps from the App Store without ever giving payment details to Apple? For example, if I don't set up card details during phone set up, can I still download free apps?

Here is how some Apple user found out they own nothing (2019). Also it seems Apple nuked even things they actually owned:

BBC just copied the consumerreports story. It has all the detail on how they did it. It's linked from the BBC article.

Hi dang , please change the URL to [1]. The current BBC one has no detail at all.
