Have you tried Zig? I think it fits those criteria, and is known for its good build system, although AIUI it is quite a large language compared to C

I think it will be interesting to see how the memory safety gains from using Rust trade off against the potential logic bugs created by a full rewrite. (Or maybe there won't be any - I guess they can probably reuse the tests from the o

It's an abstraction. You shouldn't need to be familiar with every aspect of what it does.

Are you aware that there's already a "next" link on every comment, that does exactly that? Or am I misunderstanding you?

"able-bodied" is a common one, but doesn't quite fit here. I think "widespread" on its own is good enough to get across that you mean expanding to outside the market of disabled people

For contrast, there's also: Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Not that I 100% agree with that.

@dang co.ug is a second level domain - it should be treated as a special website suffix by HN, like co.uk or github.io, so this story is considered as coming from ntv.co.ug, not just co.ug

$2M doesn't seem like all that much for a scam running over 12 years with 10 people involved.

I've never seen a comment on HN redacted before. What does this mean?

It's not intended to leave it having the exact same meaning.

But, to me, that requires doubling back on yourself (going through the little passageway twice). This is what I meant by my definition of going back on yourself being wrong

You can make a maze with only one path (other than paths that double back on themselves), but has three pieces: https://i.imgur.io/R4j6TH3_d.png I think this is basically a flaw in the intuitive definition (or maybe only m

Every time I do this test I get about 50% on three of the four categories, and the random noise in my precise answers means I get a different "personality type" every time.

I think there is a more general argument to be made than the one about predicting compiler optimisations. Being familiar with how a compiler typically works allows me to use one more fluently in various ways. For example, predicting and fix

Instead of "X needs to Y", how about "consider how Y might help X". The title is a more succinct, admittedly exaggerated, version of what the take-home message should be. It still has a point.

The UK is subject to the UK GDPR, which has no material differences to the EU GDPR. There are probably some other differences, but the UK is much better than USA or Australia etc. (Although I'm surprised there aren't USA-based law

I thought this was going to be the story about changing the phone number of the US secret service on Google Maps to an attacker-controlled one, and thereby intercepting loads of phone calls

Assuming a new laptop costs about $2000, they'll be cutting costs by about $420k/yr. Is GitHub really making so little money that that's noticeable?

Both. The point is, this is a list about a software release. I don't want this kind of argument.

These are a class of mistake mainly made by native English speakers, but I've ended up using words like "irregardless" and "misunderestimated" unironically because I used them ironically for so long that I forgot

I'm always wary of tools that as an extra compilation step, because of the added complexity. (Look at the common C workflow: cc was too hard to use on its own, so make was created; make was too hard to use on its own, so autoconf was c
