Note that this "diagnostics" pattern is only meant for handling a error locally with potential extra information, or showing a more useful error to a end user of the software. For software bugs, crashes, or developer facing errors

I dont think the core team accepts LLM generated code in the std.

I like that zig takes freestanding target seriously. And seems like 0.16 becomes even better for freestanding code reusability.

Its not the GC, its that D has no direction. Its kitchen sink of features and the optionality just fragments the ecosystem (betterC, gc) etc, making reusing code hard.

So do you believe seahorse emoji exists?

What's wrong about the statement? The black box algorithm might have been generated by machine learning, but it's still a computer program in the end.

That's from 2018. I think it's unlikely. Also zig's package manager needs a HTTP client.

> The Zig programming language maintains an intentionally small standard library. Zig's standard library is not that small to be honest. It has lots of useful tools that do not exist in other languages. The compiler uses the std. &g

WebGPU is kinda meh. It's when you need to do do something on browser that you can't with WebGL. GLES is the compatibility king and runs pretty much everywhere, if not natively then through a compatibility layer like ANGLE. I&#x27

Emulating mac or using mac SDKs on non apple devices is against apple's bullshit license though.

The only thing C compilers do for printf, is static analyze the format string for API usage errors. Afaik such isn't possible in zig currently. But idk why'd you downgrade yourself to using the printf interface, when std.Io.Writer

It's completely possible to implement printf. here is my impl (not 100% correct yet) of snprintf for my custom libc implemented on top of a platform I'm working on < https://zigbin.io/ab1e79 > The va_arg stuff

I know HN is riding the LLM hype, but this codebase has no LLM in it.

You are still playing with fire as the data inside those pointers may be different even if they are the same type. Zig is free to optimize them in anyway it likes depending on the code that touches them (aka its free to assume they never le

Yeah the new translate-c package already kind of does that.

I doubt zig will have stable abi any time soon. It may have some sort of "zig extern" when it gets mature. But stable abi isnt very usful if no-one else can talk it. I have project that uses codegen to effectively implement zig li

LLMs are just statistics, eventually they kill themselves with feedback loop by consuming their own farts (literally)

Zig build system can do all that just fine though

Apparently they are planning to create their own machine learning model with all the font data they have gathered.

kqueue is similar to epoll, it's readiness based and not completion like IOCP and io_uring. IOCP is nice in theory, but the api and the different ways everything has to be fed for it leaves a lot to be desired... Windows also has own v

Yes filc as abi makes most sense. Do note that while fil-c seems to have pretty good source compatibility some stuff still require patches (like python!)
58.
by Cloudef 11mo ago
Yeah, I was thinking nix will be probably one of the first things that can easily adapt Fil-C as it already packages in a way that allows different packages to be completely independent of each other, thus Fil-C's ABI compatibility doe

Yes i got burned by this "feature" as well. Disabled immediately after having to explain emergency center that the phone prank called itself.
