This is why I do squats: chronic knee and back pain melted away after taking on weighted squats for a few months.

It was an NDP-Government led investigation; so it wasn't a case of the accused investigating themselves. If anything, the NDP had incentive to discover malfeasance. Maybe Eby didn't read Cooper's book.

The current government's investigation found no sign of criminal collusion at the government level. It also found that money laundering had barely any influence on housing prices. At worst, the Liberals were just inept.

BC was altered considerably by a series of economic crisis in the 90s; notably the softwood lumber dispute, the opening of raw log exports, the salmon fishery dispute, and the asian economic crisis. All told, they had the cumulative effect

Zig is 6 years old, and years-old issues exist in their task tracker requesting support for some of these targets. You _cannot_ simply recompile LLVM to support the targets I listed without using unsupported, risky patches from community so

Cool, you've targeted ARM on a common SoC and a desktop PC. Now do sh2, sh4, m68k or even xtensa with Zig with a standard build. They chose to build Zig on top of the worst compiler backend toolchain for embedded support.

Web requests are its filesystem.

AFAICT, Zig is halfway step between C and C++ for desktop and mobile developers. I'm thrilled that the folks steering C are keeping the needs of embedded developers at the forefront.

AFAICT, comptime is the single most interesting feature. Tagged unions _kind of suck_, and the alternatives are preprocessor abuse, _Generic, or similar. Just not as appealing as comptime, really.

I've never had a problem with concurrency in C, really. async/await in other language is fine and all, and I've had my fair share of them there, but I wonder if the difficulty in reasoning about them is worthwhile wherever I

I'm a decades-long C hacker and I'm not sure why I should use Zig anywhere that I use C. What's the killer feature/reason?

Oh for certain; allowing group-moderation by way of up/down voting will _necessarily_ encourage groupthink.

Reddit encourages in-group domination, by way of ignoring policy-violating cross-subreddit moderation and banning; Twitter, by design, encourages user retention through passionate engagement with other users, and most often that passion is

I'll second this; the new design both lacks strongly differentiating features from countless other tech companies, and lacks strong objects to focus my attention on. Having a picture of the product was both endearing and reassuring. Th

The language is designed to replace, by progression, C++ for C++ developers. Mathematicians are probably better suited to using R, Julia, Octave, or Wolfram.

It looks superior to Chicken's, albeit requiring more initial configuration: https://clasp-developers.github.io/clbind-doc.html
561.
by dleslie 4y ago
Not wholly different; it appears to be intended to interop with, and progressively replace C++ in existing projects.
562.
by dleslie 4y ago
I wasn't joking. But yes, I agree, we should have no expectation of support for experimental or beta products.

by dleslie 4y ago
Interestingly enough, Chicken Scheme has a library that allows for interop with C++ to this degree: http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/bind#c-notes

Nor does it convey any confidence that Google will support it.

A developer familiar with C++ may believe it to be a fixed length container (perhaps with automatic bounds checking[0]) and treat it as such in memory/security/performance critical sections. 0: https://en.cppreference.c

And yet it is the name used in C++ code for a variable length container of contiguously stored data.

City simulators still exist and are still made; so are countless other economic simulators and puzzle games. Their popularity is a reflection of demand for them, not developer creativity.

It mostly funds indie titles, afaict, so I'll hazard to say they have less focus on compulsion.
