   I wish I had an IPv4 block to hoard. Far more important than current adoption is rate of adoption, which is slowing. US mandates will certainly help and may be enough, but the US can't force other countries to follow. Many countries ha

   This looks like an excellent overview of the current state of things, and some nice practical instructions on getting end to end connectivity working. Personally I don't think IPv6 will ever supplant IPv4. As far as big tech is concern

   Anyone have a good comparison of Odin vs C/C++/Rust/Zig/Hare/etc? I'm particularly interested in how simple it is to implement a compiler in the given language.

   I looked into Zulip a couple years ago and they didn't support this. Have they implemented OAuth2 or something since then? Specifically being able to log in once and be able to jump between any number of self hosted servers.

   What do you think of mid-tier Android handhelds like the Odin 3? I think these things are starting to look very interesting, especially when you factor in things like Winlator, Moonlight streaming, etc.

   There's nothing stopping you from building interoperable protocols on top of OAuth2. I've done it a couple times. OpenID Connect is another example. OAuth2 has some worts, but I think it's worth the tradeoffs.

   There are good reasons to stick to C89.

   I would love to see something like C with a borrow checker and Result/Option but not the fancy type system.

    I think you could get pretty close with OAuth2. You could also have the frontend be a centralized app, but allow people to host their own servers. If the entity controlling the frontend goes off the rails you still have a pretty simple exit

    These don't offer the core UX of Discord, which is being able to jump between many communities from a single app/login.

    I would love to see more root cause analysis data on the crashes they were seeing with wireguard-go. I wonder if it was bugs in the library itself, or the FFI.

    It's annoying though because it keeps (accurately) pointing out critical memory bugs that I clearly need to fix rather than pretending they aren't there. It's slowing me down.

    Also a fast compiler which lets the agent iterate more times.

    That's bad news for C++, Rust, and other slow compilers.

    For what it's worth the Intel B50 supports GPU virtualization and software support seems to be improving quickly. Really hoping this blows the lid off over the next couple years.

    Fortunately core wasm is simple enough for a single person to implement an interpreter or even compiler for. Even if the major engines continue to pile on complexity we have a pretty good escape hatch I think.

    I did a brief comparison a while back, specifically WASM vs libriscv for. I decided to go with WASM, primarily because it was much more closely designed for this sort of thing, and it works in browsers. libriscv is really cool and impressiv

    Careful, you're responding to the author of a wasm-based alternative.

    Note that you don't have to compile on an Alpine system to achieve this. These instructions should work on most distros: https://www.arp242.net/static-go.html

    ncruces/go-sqlite3 was the first thing I thought of when I saw .load litestream.so. That's awesome that you've implemented this. Was it a big lift to make it work with wasm?

    Currently Zig has the same issues as Rust in this context, primarily depending on a compiler that's too complex for a single person to maintain if necessary. But in Zig's case it seems there's a pretty good chance that will c

    > Hence why it should be a priority for WG14 to actually improve C's safety as well Sorry should have been more clear. I'm talking specifically about C89, or maybe C99.

    I use Rust and C at work. I quite enjoy Rust, but I currently have no reason to believe C won't outlive it, by a lot.
