Installing pacman on git for windows

Why?

I recently made a fresh install of windows and all the tools I needed to develop software including git-for-windows. Unfortunatnly git-for-windows doesn't come with a packagemanager buildt in and going full cygwin seems a little overkill. After some research I ran in to this post on stackoverflow describing a way to install pacman in to git-for-windows. Unfortuntly only "most of it" worked in my case. This document attempts to describe the entire process I went through to install pacman.

Prepare

The packages in the MSYS2 repositoy seem to be packaged using zstd now and not xz as described. Obviously it would be great to use a package manager to install zstd and un-tar the files... Given that this guide is geared towards windows installs you can install 7zip and add the Modern7z plugins to unpack zstd files.

Run Node.js App as Ubuntu Upstart Service

###The Issue With Forever Forever is great for running node services, with a minor setback: the word "forever" doesn't apply to system reboots.

###The solution, run node apps as a system service logged in as root

It's a résumé, as a readable and compilable C source file. Since Hacker News got here, this has been updated to be most of my actual résumé. This isn't a serious document, just a concept to annoy people who talk about recruiting and the formats they accept résumés in. It's also relatively representative of my coding style.

Since this is on Hacker News and reddit...

  • No, I don't distribute my résumé like this. A friend of mine made a joke about me being the kind of person who would do this, so I did (the link on that page was added later). My actual résumé is a good bit crazier.
  • I apologize for the use of _t in my types. I spend a lot of time at a level where I can do that; "reserved for system libraries? I am the system libraries".
  • Since people kept complaining, I've fixed the assignments of string literals to non-const char *s.
  • My use of type * name, however, is entirely intentional.
  • If you're using an older compiler, you might have trouble with the anonymous unions and the designated initializers - I think gcc 4.4 requires some extra braces to get them working together. Anything reasonably recent should work fine. Clang and gcc (newer than 4.4, at le
