strcpy: a niche function you don't need

nullprogram.com/blog/2021/07/30

If strcpy is not easily replaced with memcpy then the code is

doing something dumb and should be rewritten. Highlighting such problems
is part of what makes memcpy such an effective replacement.

Нефтяные камни: город на сваях в открытом море - Недвижимость Onlíner

realt.onliner.by/2013/12/12/oil

В конце 1940-х годов в 100 километрах к востоку от побережья Азербайджана началась реализация удивительного проекта. Прямо в море за несколько десятилетий вырос настоящий городок с многоэтажками, поликлиникой, столовой, пекарней и даже лимонадным цехом, окруженный сотнями километров эстакад с автомобильным движением. Это Нефтяные камни, уникальный поселок нефтяников, аналогов которому на планете нет. Onliner.by рассказывает, как человек в очередной раз победил природу, построив в открытом море город.
