Here's how to disable the package that is responsible for loading the Git source control support in Visual Studio. Use at your own risk!

• Create a file called devenv.pkgundef and place it next to devenv.exe in you Visual Studio's Common7\IDE (you'll need elevation for this)
• Add the following entries to the file:

[$RootKey$\Packages\{7fe30a77-37f9-4cf2-83dd-96b207028e1b}]
[$RootKey$\SourceControlProviders\{11b8e6d7-c08b-4385-b321-321078cdd1f8}]

• Close VS if open, open a Developer command prompt, and type devenv /updateconfiguration

What is the appeal of dynamically-typed languages?

Kris Nuttycombe asks:

I genuinely wish I understood the appeal of unityped languages better. Can someone who really knows both well-typed and unityped explain?

I think the terms well-typed and unityped are a bit of question-begging here (you might as well say good-typed versus bad-typed), so instead I will say statically-typed and dynamically-typed.

I'm going to approach this article using Scala to stand-in for static typing and Python for dynamic typing. I feel like I am credibly proficient both languages: I don't currently write a lot of Python, but I still have affection for the language, and have probably written hundreds of thousands of lines of Python code over the years.

On the Quest of recoding malloc(3)

Back when I did not know anything about programing and started to learn C, I was first introduced to pointers (and other dreaded horrors that made me curl into a corner and cry) and dynamic memory in general.

I was baffled, troubled, yet fascinated by the basic explanation on how memory worked, and started to dread the time where I would need to manually create my char arrays for each and every sentences of my program; right before learning about string literals and feeling like an idiot.

It was then where I was learning about memory allocation and came upon a function that I would call for long the "magic function" : malloc. Magic, because at that point I didn't know how it worked, let alone knew anything about memory other that it was a "chain of boxes for numbers".
