Ok, since you don't think a 6 year old can play with any dog unsupervised, how about a 12 year old? Would you let a 12 year old play unsupervised with a pit bull? How about with a chihuahua?

I think this is a bit of a shortsighted take. The fundamental question is: should Google allow its systems/software to be used to generate homophobic/sexist/racist/transphobic content? If Google can determine with high l

The problem (which is a deliberate design decision) is that Zig's error unions, which have special built-in support at the syntax level, are just tagged unions with an integer payload. In other words, when you return an error (either i

Blood Meridian is my favorite novel of all time. It's one of those books that changes the way you think in a profound way.

Princeton is 100% free if your parental income is below $65,000; you only have to pay for room and board (not tuition) if parental income is below $160,000. Regardless, you're not paying for instruction. You're paying for networki

Sounds like something is messed up with your zig cache. I have a medium-size project (30 files, 10s of thousands of lines of code) that takes 0.07 seconds to `zig build` if nothing has changed. This is on a Mac.
