From announce at lists.nycbug.org Wed Apr 5 10:03:00 2017 From: announce at lists.nycbug.org (NYC*BUG Announcements) Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2017 14:03:00 +0000 Subject: [announce] NYC*BUG Tonight: code reading with yes.c Message-ID: Tonight at LMHQ downtown on Broadway: Getting to yes.c, Mike Burns Wednesday, April 5, 18:45, LMHQ, 150 Broadway, 20th Floor, Manhattan Notice: Location Change Let's read a classic: yes.c. We can look at OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, GNU, Illumos, and Unix 7th ed. implementations. With the many different authors and distinct cultures we will be sure to have much to discuss and compare. Some things to think about: what are some uses for the yes command? What errors can occur, and how are they handled? How did GNU manage to make this program 88 lines long? How did Illumos get this program indented by five tabs? The inspiration is the shared metaphors and expressions we have in natural language due to common books (e.g. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Romeo and Juliet) and movies (e.g. Hackers, A Christmas Carol). Come prepared for a poetry slam crossed with a book club. Speaker Bio Mike is an OpenBSD contributor, port maintainer, and long-time BSD user. He's new to town, having previously run the Classical Code Reading Group of Stockholm. ***** Building Open Source Random Number Generators, Rob Seward Wednesday, May 3, 18:45, LMHQ, 150 Broadway, 20th Floor, Manhattan ***** BSDCan 2017 in Ottawa, Canada with the conference from June 9-10 and the tutorials June 7-8. https://www.bsdcan.org/2017/ **** vBSDCon 2017 has announced its CFP: Verisign is hosting its 3rd vBSDcon, scheduled for September 8 - 9, 2017, in Reston, VA.
