It's fascinating that cURL is becoming a genericized term: - search it on a search engine -> google it - fetch it from an API -> cURL it

When I was there at aws (left about a decade ago), us-east-1 was considered least stable, because it was the biggest. I.e. some bottle-necks in new code appearing only _after_ you've deployed there, which is of course too late. It didn

You are not alone with both issues. Framework12, i5, NixOS. My milleage is 2.5~3h, but usage is light (vim mainly, often not even a browser). I spent quite some time trying different things to optimize it, but never got more than realistic

OK, a Django update from me. I heavily used Django since version 0.96 (2007) until 1.5 (2014) (with Python 3)! Then came a long break with lower-level infrastructure work: linux kernel, perf tuning, some C, some Go and zig. Last week I pick

One thing that bit and puzzled me was autoloading of the extensions. If you are compiling applications with clang (or zig), some (all?) extensions will not work, because C++ does not have a stable ABI. And thus an application linked with ll

The language docs are OK: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/ Zig taught me to read stdlib source, which I do at my $dayjob now too. It is perfectly fine to read stdlib source. Start with lib/std/m

Hi! No plans yet. In my opinion, it needs a good reason to be picked instead of C (which we have sizable) to overcome the "number of developers" argument. Introducing a new general purpose language into a large company carries a s

Author here. I am proud what we've achieved. Unfortunately I will cease working on this soon[1], but, if you are interested and location suits you, I highly recommend Uber's Platform Engineering as a great place to work. Happy to

I think this marks a cross-road: you build a "batteries included" programming language (python, Go style) or an artisan one (like C, Rust). Zig is the batteries included one, with an optional standard library. Makes it truly ver
