This makes a lot of sense if you consider that it is consistent with the rest of the language. It is one more way to set up tripwires in your code to to catch your own programming errors. Similar to using asserts in your functions to vet in

That made me question who this is for. Looks like it's only for racing bikes that have taken off the rear mudguard. And those bikes are typically used to exercise.. Which makes me wonder about the cleaning after it rained..

Very well said. A 62.5g Mars bar is a hefty boy and it's only righteous that its size was minused and divided.

LLMs catch memory bugs quite easily in my experience. All of this is just a (succesful) marketing stunt by Anthropic.

We should reintroduce chef's hats back in the control rooms. Switching with real finesse!

> This is just so weird to me, because I would say the same about Zig. I think you missed his point. He's arguing against homogeneity of (cyber) culture. For example, programming languages that promise to do everything. Rust fanati

Not being sarcastic but genuine because I do not know: are there any previous languages that have a build system like Zig? I found really cool that you have a bunch of options to configure compilation of source code itself. Not just the com

Sounds like you've never built something. Even with small products you have to keep correcting yourself as it's hard to foresee how each component interacts. Now try building a self-hosted C replacement lol

If you are going to write your own allocators, I think it doesn't matter too much which Zig version you are on. Most drastic changes since 0.15 are done to the standard lib and the language itself stayed pretty much the same. That sai

Storing numbers as arrays of u8? That doesn't make sense

I did this half a year ago and it was fine for me. One of the benefits is of course privacy. For instance, I noticed that ads get completely out of touch which proved to me that I'm being tracked less. Also never have that feeling any

Also cluster migrations are required pretty often in my company. Having state on a cluster means migrating that as well, which is a complex and time consuming operation. Having your state in S3 or external database makes migrations a breeze

Lol I already have this at €20 a month. And I feel like I am using it too much.

I also thought obsession was decent. Spooked me a bit like horrors used to do when I was little.

I like that you have more freedom. You can play around with some idea but once you want to do something "serious" you can break into it directly. I start simple but sometimes blip into some performance obsession and I find Zig all

After having used Zig for a couple of months now I am convinced it is a fantastic tool language. You just pick it up to hack some idea together freely. Every time I hit a wall, I find the creators have thought of it already and offers comfo

Yes and one step further: it is attention, ultimately to extract wealth. Trump is a distractor and can make a whole country forget about <insert recent insanity>. Passing a judge is a minor detail here. Of course it is stupid to talen

My bad, I was not aware that expats read this. I had never heard of it before. But still, as far as I can tell, they just translate the news from platforms like nos.nl and perhaps newspapers rather than doing the journalism themselves.

Sorry, but "dutchnews.nl" is not a source I take seriously. Please link a publication on an established media outlet because this smells like misinfo.

Apparently it's the same as the Dutch payment system but in some languages that "iDEAL" had wrong associations.

Don't let the best be the enemy of the good. I got amazing performance for swapping for-loops with some simple SIMD patterns. Moreover. By doing this. I noticed that the codebase started to become better shaped for performance as well.

I don't understand the point of automating note taking. It never worked for me to copy paste text into my notes and now you can 100x that? The whole point of taking notes for me is to read a source critically, fit it in my mental model
