docs.wyzer-lang.org doesn't resolve for me, and it's prominently linked from https://wyzer-lang.vercel.app/ . Since I'm not familiar with wyzer or perceus, how would one write, say, a doubly linked list in wyz

I don't see how that's possible. It's clearly stating that zig is not in the static (compile-time) safety checking camp. The message is, don't ensure correctness at compile-time, find your errors in the debugger. C++ doe

I'm pretty sure he's just finding the most condescending way he can think of to "correct" people who have a lower tolerance for paper cuts than he has. The author's message is really "You idiots that can't

They may not right now, but the whole point of Microsoft's Copilot+ PC standard (even though it's somewhat anemic) is to run models locally. Apple Silicon with enough unified memory is capable. Not to mention modern iPhones and Pi

Nobody said SCO sued BSD or BSD users. USL sued BSD and UC ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_Laboratories,_Inc.... .) long before the SCO lawsuits.

This is the kind of advertising I can appreciate. Useful, even some uncommon information showcasing purchasable products. I'd never buy a font advertised here (I've never needed a font that wasn't free bad enough to pay money

As a big fan of WordPerfect on my first DOS machine (286 clone), I agree. I respect authors like GRRM for sticking with WordStar, but whenever I get nostalgic and wondering about WordPerfect in DosBox, I remember I use emacs and typst. All

LOL. In 2007, I did a side-by-side comparison of SVN, Mercurial and git with my codebase at work (~700k LOC). I know hg got faster eventually, but I still can't believe people say "hg should have won the DVCS war" with a stra

I feel bad for people who reject Windows 11 on moral grounds. They'll likely fall behind, while also having to live in a world increasingly built around something they see as immoral. https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026

I remember sitting in a senior seminar class in 1989 full of CS students. We were solemnly informed by a very earnest IBM employee that we would regret having majored in computer science because IBM's CASE tools were going to kill job

I lost my "Clear Creek Bike Book" in the 1980's but eventually Sheldon made me not miss it at all. It's not as comprehensive, and more corporate than Sheldon's site, but I currently love Park Tool's youtube cha

Please, no. Emacs could use some interface/toolkit update, I don't deny that. And I like IDE features. I use tree-sitter, LSPs, copilot.el, copilot-chat.el, and others all day, every day. But don't force me to turn off treema

The Borland Turbos had a much bigger market impact, but I was blown away by the Zortech C++ IDE in 1988. I don't remember why any more, but I was very dismissive of other TUI IDEs of the day after using Zortech. Even in the early 1990&

As long as any old apk can be installed over ADB, f-droid just needs to release a desktop app, and I'm gtg. Yeah, it's a little inconvenient, and hopefully just a stopgap until Linux phones are viable, but still better than Apple.
