Great read! This reminds me of a macOS app I made for my wife a few years back. It keeps track of the opening hours of all her favorite shops, and she can click a menu bar icon to see how long until each one closes today. It also warns if i

It depends on what you enjoy doing, and how much time you really have. Good bug reports & reduced test cases are always amazingly valuable. Perhaps you have a home page of your own? You can open it in Ladybird and see if you hit some pr

Tobi (Shopify CEO) has been supporting my open source work via GitHub Sponsors since early 2022, so I reached out to him and said (very paraphrased) "I'm gonna start pushing harder on Ladybird, would Shopify want to be an official

I first spoke with Tobi about this in mid-May, so it's been in the works for a while longer. :)

That was a separate sponsor! This month has been weird, to say the least :)

Memory safety is absolutely on the long-term roadmap for Ladybird. But Jakt still needs time to mature before making it a dependency :)

It currently runs on SerenityOS, Linux and macOS. And Windows with WSL (I know, I know..) We’ve also seen screenshots of Ladybird on FreeBSD, Haiku, and even Android at one point. Those are not maintained though, but we’ll come back to them

Thank you! Indeed, all of these large sponsorships so far have been specifically for Ladybird development. That’s also what I’ve been personally focusing on for many months already, so nothing really changes about my day-to-day. The main ne

Hello friends! I’m really happy to have Shopify putting their faith in our little project like this :) If you’d like a quick intro to the Ladybird project, I presented it at a conference earlier this month: https://youtu.be/

Thank you! The sponsor has asked to remain anonymous for now. There are no strings attached, although we do stay in touch. :)

Because now you're holding a reference to `x` which is supposed to be protected by a mutex, even after the mutex is unlocked. With the lambda-only API, it's much harder to make this mistake, since a temporary reference like this w

After sketching this out, it's nice that this: auto x = state.with([](auto& state) { return state.x; }); Becomes this: auto x = state.locked()->x; But it also creates this very accessible footgun: auto&am

AFAIK if you use a templated type for the callback (as you should), it will be inlined by modern compilers at any optimization level other than -O0. :)

by akling 3y ago
Yes, that's a great way to improve the ergonomics of MutexProtected in simple cases! We should totally add that as a complement to the lambda API. :)

That's right! It's a callback to Slackware, which was the first Linux distribution I used as a kid. The release notes for Slackware 4.0 ended with "Have fun! :^)" which I always thought had a great vibe.

I find it neat that the code doesn't have to enumerate all the possible platforms it might be compiled on, and instead just takes something the compiler already provides and tweaks it. But yes, the "cute" "hack" asp

This is super exciting! It's been a privilege to watch Linus grow from a C++ noob to a competent browser developer (and TC39 invited expert!) I can't tell you how proud I am of him. Please consider supporting Linus on this journey
