Having a UPS makes sense but I've seen enough of those electric scooters going ablaze videos that I'm quite uneasy about having a pretty large battery under the table.

Interoperability with C is amazing. You can literally include C headers in your Zig code and start using it without manually writing / generating any boilerplate. So I would imagine if you need to heavily interact with a lot of C libra

Depends on the context but in general Zig wants you to be explicit. Writing 0.0 is fine at comptime or if you're e.g. adding it to an already known float type, but defining a runtime variable (var x = 0.0; ...) will not work because

Fedora and Debian do this too. That's why it sometimes takes longer for a project to be packaged - you literally have to recursively package all of the dependencies first.

Shipping old but stable versions of packages with security fixes backported is the motto of Debian Stable. If you don't like it, you will not be happy with it. If you want to stick to Debian, you could try switching to Debian Testing a

Compiling to a single C file such that you can then compile the result via say clang is already supported (-ofmt=c). Automatic generation of C header files from your Zig library is WIP. The current recommend approach is to just write the C

No language fits all use cases no matter how much you want it to be true. I'm a fan of Rust and the trend to rewrite things in Rust because usually you get something much faster, safer, and something that reflects current needs (helix,

I don't understand how. How do you debug something this? How do you go about fixing a bug? There are no docs nor tests. It seems like one would spend hours just trying to understand what's going on. Is there a good source on their

The code looks heavily obfuscated. It's more like "source available" than open source. E.g. g(_M,W-=1<<f;xx=M[f];M[f]=x)Ui(M_,Ux=M[i];x?(W+=1<<i,M[i]=xx,x):30>i?_M(i,M_(i+1))+(2*n0<<i):OO())f(_r,pt?x:
