But if that's the goal then I _think_ the "port" is perfectly achievable without LLMs. Zig transpiles to C, then C2Rust would do the rest

These older games don't run fine with Xwayland?

I'm not sure if this poetry technique did anything at all. If you just straight up ask Gemini for how meth is synthetized, it'll just tell you.

Since the thread mentions Rust: in Rust, you often replace Mutexes with channels. In your case, you could have a channel where the Receiver is the only part of the code that transf…

Writing shell completions is tough: bash, zsh, and fish each have different, complex syntax scog aims to solve this: you write one simple YAML file describing your CLI and it gener…

I think DisableSolarium has no effect anymore. At least I can't see any. I'm in macOS 26.0 (25A354)

Hikaru accused Luis Paulo Supi of cheating at least twice. From his Wikipedia article: ``` In an online blitz tournament hosted by the Internet Chess Club in May 2015, American Gra…

> The attitude of Rust being bug-free is _insaaaane_. Funny, because that's not anywhere close to what the comment you're replying to states. They said `"Safety" is just a shorthan…

Why would using Arc mean that someone is fighting the borrow checker, or confused by it? Would you also say the same for a C++ project that uses shared_ptrs everywhere? The clone q…

Not sure I get your point. One can definitely "get good" at problem solving. Isn't that the whole purpose of Leetcode and whatnot? I struggled with Rust at first but now it feels q…

I find that Employers of Record (EoR) make this a non-issue. I work for an American startup, remotely from S. America. I'm hired according to the (extensive, and expensive) local l…

I'm very surprised no one took on this window of opportunity (as far as I can tell). Any new TikTok-like hip app that is not from any FAANG has a good chance of taking off

I obviously saw that since it's linked in the very first message in the chain of messages I responded to. pglite.dev/repl does not have the same level of visualizations as postgres…

I think the point is that many of us would like this without any AI in it, just a simpler Postgres playground in the browser, much like the Rust or Go playgrounds.

CrossCode was written in JS/HTML5 and was ported over to consoles just fine, though. They mention stuff like "an interpreter which translates the [JavaScript] code but locks it up …

I think it's clearly pretty cool even if not as fast as people expect it to be

That's true, you never mentioned Python or alternatives in your README, I guess I got Mandela'ed from the comments in Hacker News, so my bad on that. People are naturally going to …

> it is allocating 2 IC nodes for each numeric operation, while Python is not While that's true, Python would be using big integers (PyLongObject) for most of the computations, mea…

Isn't that the same idea as Linux's vdso? https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/vdso.7.html

I'd also like to see what's the proportion of comments just like yours on every project written in Rust out there, should be nearing 100% now

I found the memory gains to be more enticing than the performance improvements

Unsurprising this would be the case since LibreOffice strives for compatibility while MS would want clients to upgrade versions to newer, more lucrative editions

One point that a lot of those "actually, just use Go" articles fail to recognize is that there is a sizable amount of developers who simply dislike programming in Go. Despite its i…

Maybe once Zig supports WASIX
