    i do like zig and its build system, but i agree that i see little point to the allyourcodebase repositories. you can probably learn about what you _can_ do with the build system th…

    you _can_ just tell zig build to call make (std.Build.addSystemCommand, https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.16.0/std/#std.Build.addS... ). the only benefits of an inbuilt make woul…

    in this same release Minecraft removed exclusive fullscreen on MacOS, i wonder why they haven't done the same on Windows & Linux - maybe people still have uses for that stuff on th…

    it does still stand for Live Action Role Plating, but the meaning of the acronym on the internet has been expanded over the past few months to mean anything like "pretending" or "l…

    it keeps saying "failed to load" for me. through the magic of the developer console, i can see that the api calls are working but the actual image requests are not. it seems that t…

    no, but the documentation for packed structs gives the list of allowed field types. it's also not documented that packed union fields must be valid packed struct fields but people …
