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/learn/build-system/ &g

> 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. std::vector, std::array). Zig does the thing that

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, much like editors have done for C-style multiline comment

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++ where you slap constexpr on everything. Zig agrees with

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 grapes, I am one of those people. This program is exactly

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 really do anything about it, but the library should a

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) error.OtherError else

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 = {hours:hh}"

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.

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 that huge of a thing to do your own Box2D integration

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 scripts are also painful to write. You're n

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 installed with it didn't have an uninstall option. Package ma

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 for a few years). But any game-specific logic writt

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 don't know how to do with the current stable versio
