    > Pure-Go tree-sitter runtime — no CGo, no C toolchain, WASM-ready. No you didn't. The readme is obvious LLM slop. Em-dash, rule of three, "not x, y". Why should anyone spend effor…

    Zig supports this. If you compile with -fsingle-threaded, operations on mutexes turn into nops, atomics become simple loads/stores, etc.

    Okay, let's say the cache is cold and you're on an old clunky spinning rust 5400 RPM hard drive. Do the math. How long will it take, worst case, for the platter to spin to where ca…

    I won't spoil the article, but if you read to the end you'll find out what this "FMZ" project is called.

    It was an offhand 20 words out of a 5000 word article and a very pertinent example. I guess the question is, why were you not bothered by the negative opinion about instant coffee …

    The site is open source and the commits are still there. No need to be so dramatic. https://github.com/ziglang/www.ziglang.org/commit/c8d046b288...

    To be fair, Windows 8 only came out in 2012, so they haven't had that much time to finish the settings migration. But they're making good progress. If they keep up this pace of mov…

    I wonder what tools the Zig team has to deal with trolls like this. Is the zig name or logo trademarked? What about the mascot he's using as his github picture? They're violating t…

    Reading between the lines, it seems like Google is playing a bit of chess here. Reminds me of the Beeper Mini stunt, except this time by a trillion-dollar company they can't just s…

    yt-dlp + 4K works fine for me. The only special thing I remember doing is adding the impersonate feature (which it prompts you to do if it needs it). In other words, instead of `uv…

    Nature is cruel. Every living thing wants energy for itself, but there's only so much to go around. The leaves cry out in ultrasonic frequencies as they're harvested, and then we a…

    Sure maybe 20 years ago. But back then Linux's userbase was also on Windows, because desktop Linux hadn't really become usable yet. I think nowadays Firefox's marketshare is a lot …

    Appealing to that crowd is how they grew their market share the first time around. The techies came first, trust was established, and then they recommended it to everyone else. Do …

    Even the basic stuff like `openFile` is deprecated. I don't know what else to tell you. Zig won't maintain two slightly different versions of the fs functions in parallel. Once som…
