not to be confused with the Minecraft technical update I'm moving about the pages to be have a more flat, less nested structure. I feel like that'll improve URLs a lot, making them more readable than ever. over the years I've learned that flatter is better, and that tagging is generally a much more effective way of organising things. this doesn't get rid of categories entirely, as I think having the category makes the URL much a bit more readable in the end. my current vision does include a concept of "major categories" either way.

- one thing I realised while reading some code at work that worked with C strings: it's surprising how easy it is to match a prefix on a C string.
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
if (s != NULL
|
|
&& s[0] == 'h'
|
|
&& s[1] == 'u'
|
|
&& s[2] == 'g')
|
|
{
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|

- this works because of the NUL terminator---if it appears at any point in the string, the `s[i] == c` comparison will return `false`, thus breaking the `&&` chain---so indices always stay in-bounds!
