Ghostty is trying to be a speed demon terminal, so I'd expect it to use ReleaseFast. The current build system docs don't prioritize one build mode over another: https://ziglang.org…

> Then why do my data structures detect if I go out of bounds? Because you have iterator debugging and/or assertions turned on and are only using non-primitive data structures (e.g…

Personally, I'd rather prefix with `\\` than have to postfix with `\n`. The `\\` is automatically prepended when I enter a newline in my editor after I start a multiline string, mu…

In the most common cases, Zig does exactly what D does here as well. Constant expressions are folded at compile time like any reasonable systems language. It's akin to writing C++ …

People with secure tech careers in hard-to-break-into-industries get those careers by being able to work for little-to-no-pay due to their privileged upbringing. This isn't sour gr…

If your company has the bandwidth to create, manage, and mentor not-real-client-work, surely you have the resources to pay interns.

This page did not automatically flip to dark mode on any of the browsers I use--which all are on dark mode--on my macbook, which is also using dark mode.

Nice article :) Might be worth touching on error callbacks/logging as an error handling strategy. Sometimes an error is not recoverable in the sense that the calling code can't rea…

I like doing that too, but the Zig syntax doesn't prevent that kind of arrangement, just makes it a bit wider. return if (value >= radix) error.InvalidChar else if (comeCondition) …

C#'s new interpolation syntax is a counterexample to your point about easy formatting: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn961160.aspx#Ancho... $"Name = {name}, hours = {hou…

Isn't edn a data/object format, rather than a markup format? It's like a better JSON.

If only the native package manager wasn't write-only for pkg installers. I use Homebrew for its `uninstall` command.

:) I have a little local deploy script that runs this if it fails a smoke test: say -v Bad "Deployment failed, server gave a bad response"

Is the Blender Game Engine workflow mostly like shown in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5HEyoDb-tw&index=64&list=PL... I don't understand the appeal of learning progr…

Yes, the platform support and hot reloading are real nice. That's why so many teams have invested in Unity. The collision engine is what I was referring to when I said it's not tha…

Unity doesn't provide any sequencing for you (maybe you were thinking of Unreal's Matinee?). Also, most people who need input mapping don't use the builtin input mapper. Editor scr…

Can it do uninstalls well yet? I tried to make a package for a simple binary last year (I believe it was premake4 or something). It was annoying to use, and other software I instal…

I'm all about Watermelon Man. Kids are still learning jazz and other music history in schools that have good music programs.

It's similar, but not quite the same. The built-in components work like this (although I'm not deeply knowledgeable of Unity internals or anything, just have been working with it f…

In magit-status-mode I'm able to stage files based on the region. I can also expand them and highlight multiple chunks to stage just those chunks. The are only two major things I d…
