Hacker News with Generative AI: C Programming

Show HN: A dynamic C (Hot reloading) module-based Web Framework (github.com/joexbayer)
Welcome to c-web-modules, a modular and efficient approach to web development in C. Inspired by kernel modules and AWS Lambda, this project allows you to upload C code directly to the server, which compiles and deploys it at runtime. No precompilation is necessary, and the server can easily be upgraded to include more features or external libraries.

Rawdrawandroid – Build Android apps without any Java, in C and Make (github.com/cnlohr)
Ever wanted to write C code and run it on Android? Sick of multi-megabyte packages just to do the most basic of things. Well, this is a demo of how to make your own APKs and build, install and automatically run them in about 2 seconds, and with an apk size of about 25kB (with API 26). API 30 (Android R+) is unfortunately at 45kB to support ARM64 + ARM32.

Strtod Is Wild (festina-lente-productions.com)
The strtod function in the C standard library seems innocent enough: take a decimal representation of a number, such as "10.35" and return the nearest floating-point binary number (the double C type) [note 1].

Linux's Bedtime Routine (tookmund.com)
How does Linux move from an awake machine to a hibernating one? How does it then manage to restore all state? These questions led me to read way too much C in trying to figure out how this particular hardware/software boundary is navigated.
