Example: I built a network daemon using the MSYS2 CLANG64 environment and llvm toolchain on Windows 10. Windows 7 x64 users could download the compiled single-file executable and run it just fine, so long as they installed Microsoft’s Unive

Okay, but that just seems to be perpetuating the misunderstanding of what MSYS2 is intended for. It gives you a *nix-like shell/dev environment and tools, but you build native software that runs on Windows systems that don’t have or

Aren’t you thinking of Cygwin, or the MSYS2 shell (dev tooling)? The Windows-native software you build with MSYS2 can be shipped to and run by users that don’t have anything of MSYS2 installed.

I’m very happy to see this development, it addresses a pain point with Nim that existed before and after the release of ARC/ORC (Nim v2, more or less). I don’t want to even hazard a guess how many times folks new to Nim would ask “How

I was working for Slicehost at the time, we were a tiny team working our butts off in a loft office in downtown St. Louis, with a few remote employees. To my understanding there was a runway-growth problem. Could the founders raise and spen

People have different "aha" moments with monads. For me, it was realizing that something being a monad has to do with the type/class fitting the monad laws. If the monad laws hold for the type/class then you've go

My first memory of TV (but not my earliest memory by far) was, at age 4, seeing the first Space Shuttle launch. It was live on a little black-and-white set my parents had in their bedroom.

Seems a bit off, but I don't say that in a judgmental way. If a person presented themselves for the Catholic/Orthodox catechumenate with the caveat "I'm not a believer but..." , a director with a good humor would r

Well, as the author says in the FAQ, he's been using the name Final Cut since 1991, whereas the famous video editing software appeared in 1999. Now, given how well-known the latter became, a name change would certainly be reasonable if
