My reasoning, which you may not agree with, is that I think that I have seen pron say unkind words before and I thought I had a better chance of persuading Steve to let it go. (Sor…

I do see that you often have kind words for Zig and some attempt to more precisely define the differences. What I mean is a bit different though, it’s that these arguments you get …

Yes! I think Fil is great so far but I think as he gets a bigger audience he should, well, consider that and focus on clarity a little more than humor. You can see Andrew’s growth …

If you choose to build static or dynamic libraries, I expect you’d still get to do that, and I expect as long as those don’t change and only the main binary needs patching it’d wor…

I know this is mostly a joke but I have seriously wondered if “no hidden behavior” made it easier to port from Zig. Like, regardless of how easy or successful the port was in gener…

I don’t disagree. I responded to “clearly an anti-rust statement”, which is a bit of a stretch.

“Focus on debugging your application rather than debugging your programming language knowledge” to me sounds like it is directed primarily at C and C++., it’s a much more direct tr…

My specific reply was to laszlojamf saying “it seems like go, but with manual allocation”. To your point though, if Rust is getting it done, go for it. A lot of people still write …

I think Zig would do better than Go at things like kernels, drivers, game engines, lower level sorts of things. Edited to add the obvious: SPIR-V, for instance. Of course there’s l…

My interpretation of what they said is closer to “we already improved compilation speeds by 4x and we did it without compromising our plans to go much further - also this PR introd…

Apples and oranges, yeah. I should have spelled that out more, thanks.

My guess is that one of these (Andrew) is measuring syscalls and the other is measuring vtable indirections.

Seriously, turn on the news once in a while.

That’s what I am betting on - but it isn’t 1.0 yet, and that matters too.

This is great! https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy/tree/master... looks like the raw data (yaml) for all these commands, including commands for macOS. With that, it’s …

Yes! I try to always phrase it as "the part I can see from here will take at least X time".

Okay, so your source is Giuliani. Well that is an answer, I guess. Sorry I was looking for a news source and not a political one. This is not nearly as credible - until evidence re…

Never heard of this source - I hope it’s okay in this time of misinformation to ask for a recognizable source? Edit: I mean I am okay with leaving it as “somebody on the internet s…

Then you can definitely name one.

I am less certain that Fox didn't know who @whyspertech was.

It still might be a reasonable tradeoff for me, for some projects but regardless: thank you, that adds some nuance that I didn't get from your earlier comment.

I've been actively wondering about generating some efficient and portable C code, and for this project it wouldn't be super-complicated, but undefined behavior is the one thing tha…

I think they just missed the memo that Windows now has a modern Chromium-based Edge option for a web view component. I mean, before that, the situation was really pretty bad, but n…

It sounds like that, but I don't think it's really true. I think that only means that with the previous tradeoffs available, they chose to keep being tracked. No reason not to try …
