Why HN links it
HN readers link codecentric's knowledge-hub posts as examples: a piece on a curly-brace bug in C, a WebAssembly plugin architecture article, and an early SPDY-enabled sites list. No comment judges the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
> Another respect is that C allows omitting curly braces after an if-statement, which makes bugs like https://www.codecentric.de/en/knowledge-hub/blog/curly-brace... possible. This is a silly thing to point to, and the very article you linked to argues that the lack of curly braces is not the actual problem in that situation. In any case, both gcc and clang will give a warning about code like that[1] with just "-Wal…

Another respect is that C allows omitting curly braces after an if-statement, which makes bugs like https://www.codecentric.de/en/knowledge-hub/blog/curly-brace... possible. Rust does not allow this. This is not an exhaustive list of ways in which Rust is better than C. > I will…

HN discussionMaybe something like https://www.codecentric.de/en/knowledge-hub/blog/plug-in-arc... ? Webassembly is the binary spec for the web. But now everyone is using that because it's portable and lightweight. The idea is you can create plugin using any language that compiles into webassembly. C, Rust, Pascal, Go, C++. Compile once and it should work in Windows, Linux and Mac. No need to compile to multiple architecture. Per…

HN discussionNow added to the small list of SPDY enabled sites as I find them: https://www.webtide.com/ https://twitter.com https://spdytest.com https://spdy-twitlog.indutny.com https://www.codecentric.de (and of course google.com, gmail and youtube.com) Of course the number will explode in a few months but fun to know the handful in the "early days". ps.
