Sourcecode is the fundamental component of a computer program that is created by a programmer, often written in the form of functions, descriptions, definitions, calls, methods and other operational statements. It is designed to be human-readable and formatted in a way that developers and other users can understand.

Source code and object code are sometimes referred to as the before and after versions of a compiled computer program. However, source code and object code do not apply to script (noncompiled or interpreted) program languages, like JavaScript, since there is only one form of the code.


Programmers can use a text editor, a visual programming tool or an integrated development environment (IDE) such as a software development kit (SDK) to create source code. In large program development environments, there are often management systems that help programmers separate and keep track of different states and levels of source code files.


When a user installs a software suite like Microsoft Office, for example, the source code is proprietary. Microsoft only gives the customer access to the software's compiled executables and the associated library files that various executable files require to call program functions.


Typically, proprietary software vendors like Microsoft don't share source code with customers for two reasons: to protect intellectual property and to prevent the customer from making changes to source code in a way that might break the program or make it more vulnerable to attack. Proprietary software licenses often prohibit any attempt to discover or modify the source code.


Open source software, on the other hand, is purposely designed with the idea that source code should be made available since collaborative effort of developers working to enhance the software can help make it more robust and secure. Users can freely take open source code under public licenses, such as the GNU General Public License.


Beyond providing the foundation for software creation, source code has other important purposes. For example, skilled users who have access to source code can more easily customize software installations.


A person with no background in programming can read the C programming source code above and understand that the goal of the program is to print the words "Hello World." However, in order to carry out the instructions, this source code must first be translated into a machine language that the computer's processor can understand; which is the job of a special interpreter program called a compiler. In this case, a C compiler is used.


Object code consists mainly of the numbers one and zero, or binary code, and cannot be easily read or understood by humans. Object code can then be linked to create an executable file that runs to perform the specific program functions.


Determining the historical start of source code is a subjective and elusive exercise. The first software was written in binary code in the 1940s. So, depending on one's viewpoint, such programs may be the initial samples of source code.


One of the earliest examples of source code as we recognize it today was written by Tom Kilburn, an early pioneer in computer science. Kilburn created the first successful digital program held electronically in a computer's memory in 1948. The software solved a mathematical equation.


In the 1950s and '60s, source code was often provided for free with software by the companies that created the programs. As growing computer companies expanded software's use, source code became more prolific and sought after. Computing magazines prior to the internet age would often print source code in their pages, with readers needing to retype the code character for character for their own use. Later, floppy disks decreased the price for electronically sharing source code, and then the internet further removed these obstacles.


I am particularly guilty of this, embedding non-constructive comments, code poetry and little jokes into most of my projects (although I usually have enough sense to remove anything directly offensive before releasing the code). Here's one I'm particulary fond of, placed far, far down a poorly-designed 'God Object':


Update: The original author of the code has outed himself so I must give credit where it is due. Dan McKinley left the company I was with shortly after I started, and he talks more about the code, explaining some background and a few more "WTF's" that 'Richard' wrote.


We are humans. We are partners. We listen. We learn. We strive to understand your world and we use data to build and engage with your audiences. We know that every challenge is different, every solution is individual, and every great story needs a source.


Since being founded in 2007 by Gleb Budman, Backblaze has been established as the leading independent cloud storage provider, making it astonishingly easy to store, use, and protect data. The Backblaze Storage Cloud provides a foundation for businesses, developers, IT professionals, and individuals to build applications, host content, manage media, backup and archive data, and more. With over two billion gigabytes of data storage under management, the company currently works with more than 500,000 customers in more than 175 countries.


Hi, I created a site on Netlify a long time ago that I would like to update. Unfortunately, I unintentionally deleted the local copy I have of the site. Is it possible to download the source files of a Netlify site? (The site is not linked to a git repository).


The above problem was most likely caused by taking a source line using codepage 437 characters and badly converting them to UTF-8. That made the source line too long, past the circa 512 byte line length limit of MASM.


The timestamp destruction makes it harder to pin down what the source code actually is. The DOS 4.0 release was very confused because IBM first released PC DOS 4.0 in June 1988 (files dated 06/17/1988), but soon followed with a quiet update (files dated 08/03/1988) where the disks were labeled 4.01 but the software still reported itself as 4.00.


As a historic footnote, BAK stood for Binary Adaptation Kit. MS-DOS OEMs would receive the BAK to adapt to their hardware. However, most OEMs did not receive the full source code, only the code to components that likely needed modification, such as IO.SYS.


Historic source code should be released simply as an archive of files, ZIP or tar or 7z or whatever, with all timestamps preserved and every single byte kept the way it was. Git is simply not a suitable tool for this.


Besides the printer spooler, you did not need stacks until you loaded a network layer, in which case, they added the config.sys stacks command in PC-DOS 3.1, Remember that 4.0 is derived from DOS 2.0.


As for the small stack it may be of note that the stack may underflow, and this may or may not cause problems. Due to the near jump and lack of alignment directives, the msload stack is actually on an odd address. On a 386 pushing to offset 0FFFFh in Real 86 Mode (where limit is 0FFFFh) would fault I believe. Not sure about the 286.


And which tool would that be? Surely not ZIP, which not only does not support time zones, but lets you re-make new copies of the ZIP file with different timestamps, or even different contents, with little chance of being detected.


UTC considerations were rather irrelevant with DOS 1 or 2 or even any later DOS. Before the RTC, the time and date was whatever entered. No guarantee that would be even close to accurate. RTCs frequently drifted considerably from exact time. The filestamp will always be incorrect. It took the introduction of networking to force time to be somewhat consistent across systems.


The changes to clock availability was one of the hidden alterations to computer usage. Line clocks were an expensive add-on in the early 70s but practically free by the time of the IBM PC which is why the PC includes one. RTCs went from several hundred dollars to only about $20 in just a few years.


This page describes how to deploy new services and newrevisions to Cloud Run directly from source code using a single gcloud CLI command, gcloud run deploy with the--source flag. For an examplewalkthrough of deploying a Hello World service, seeDeploy from source quickstarts.


Behind the scenes, this command usesGoogle Cloud's buildpacksand Cloud Build to automatically buildcontainer images from your source code without having to install Docker on yourmachine or set up buildpacks or Cloud Build. That is, the single commanddescribed above does what would otherwise require thegcloud builds submit and thegcloud run deploy commands.


Note that source deployments use Artifact Registry tostore built containers. If your project doesn't already have an Artifact Registryrepository with the name cloud-run-source-deploy in the region you aredeploying to, this feature automatically creates an Artifact Registry repositorywith the name cloud-run-source-deploy.


If a Dockerfile is present in the source code directory, the uploaded sourcecode is built using that Dockerfile. If no Dockerfile is present in the sourcecode directory, Google Cloud's buildpacks automatically detects the language youare using and fetches the dependencies of the code to make a production-readycontainer image, using a secure base image managed by Google. (Each time youdeploy, any needed security fixes are automatically picked up from the baseimage.)


If you are under a domain restriction organization policy restricting unauthenticated invocations for your project, you will need to access your deployed service as described under Testing private services.


For a list of IAM roles and permissions that are associated withCloud Run, seeCloud Run IAM rolesand Cloud Run IAM permissions.If your Cloud Run service interfaces withGoogle Cloud APIs, such as Cloud Client Libraries, see theservice identity configuration guide.For more information about granting roles, seedeployment permissionsand manage access.


For production environments, we strongly recommendcreating a new service accountand granting it one or more IAM roles that contain theminimum permissions requiredand follow the principle of least privilege.
