Dr. Dobb's Developer Library DVD 6

throwa356262: Don't forget to donate to archive.org while at it.Thr amount of useful material they have gathered is impressive.

raybb: Money is great, and they're also looking for volunteers all the time to help out with Open Library. The website is constantly under attack from DDoS, and we're always improving, but it's a long road. I'm just a volunteer, but a very active one.

damnitbuilds: And if you're a tech billionaire, please fund offshore backups of archive.org !

pjmlp: Some interesting stuff you will get out of Dr. Dobbs articles, as someone that was an avid reader.- The Small C compiler set of articles, where you will get the sense not even K&R C was used outside UNIX for quite some time, only a common subset.- The toolbox articles creating a Turbo Vision like framework in Object Pascal- The evolution of Python and related adoption- Strange programing languages like Actor, C@+ (try to search this one nowadays), Sather, BETA- The fashionable compiler benchmarks that used to be quite common back in the day- The evolution of C and C++ at ISO, while their standards were being started- A more heterogenous way of software development, when it wasn't only UNIX clones and Windows.

tmountain: Jeeze, what’s the motivation to DDoS a service like this?

throwa356262: What kind of volunteering is needed?

throwa356262: Working on it, only two more commas to go :)I wonder if r/datahorde folks can be of any help here.
